Guide to buying a shed

There's a wide choice of sheds out there, and it's easy to get confused with the jargon. Our guide to buying a shed explains the difference between apex and pent roofs, overlap and tongue and groove cladding, and the advantages and disadvantages of wooden and metal sheds.

Walton's Garden Shed Portabase

Forget spending time and money digging out and casting a concrete base or laying paving slabs for your shed, simply add a Walton's Portabase to your order! The Walton's Portabase is easy to put together, and can be used as a base for a shed on grass, soil or hard surfaces such as a patio or driveway. The Portabase is available for any wooden garden building up to 10' x 8'.

Build a base for your shed

A firm, level base is essential when building a wooden shed, greenhouse, summer house, or any other garden building. If your base is not level, then the garden building is more likely to subside and become unstable. To avoid this, read our guide to building a base for useful instructions, pictures and videos.
