When we decide that our garden needs a new garden shed, GOOGLE is the first step where we begin our research. There we come across a whole range of tempting and beautiful sheds that look great at first glance. But when the time comes to decide, we quickly find ourselves in a dilemma.

Namely, the market is flooded with low-cost providers, and sometimes the question arises, "is it really worth spending 2x more on a garden shed when some are so beautiful and very affordable?"

In today's article, we will try to answer this question through a few key points, through which our decision ultimately tips to one side or the other.

1. With log cabins, we often forget about….

…additional costs. Log cabins are a popular product of online retailers, as they are generally more affordable and accessible. This is a type of construction where every component part of the cabin is prepared in advance, and all the material is packed together in one package. But in most cases, in addition to the initial price of the product, it is also necessary to add:

  • roofing cost
  • cost of sheet metal finishing elements and gutters on the roof
  • painting cost
  • delivery cost
  • and most importantly: assembly cost

We may not have anticipated all these costs, but if we want the house "turnkey", then the price quickly rises drastically.

2. Wood quality

A very important element when deciding to purchase a new garden shed. As we have already found, there are many retailers online offering excellent prices for garden sheds, but the fact remains that high-quality garden shed cannot be affordable, since quality wood comes at a price.

Now you may be wondering whether I really need such high-quality wood? Of course, that decision is up to you, but from experience we know that choosing lower-quality wood costs you more in the long run, than if we ensure quality right from the start.

3. Additional equipment

The last point in today's post also touches on additional equipment. Here again, it is up to you to think about and weigh what you will need your garden shed for. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, then you can simply order the materials at your nearby shopping center, assemble it yourself, and customize it according to your wishes.

But most people only have a vision of their perfect garden shed, and when they turn to online retailers, they come across the previously mentioned log cabins, which in most cases do not offer additional equipment. The vision therefore remains only in their head.

In this case, the more “expensive” garden sheds come into their own. They offer a lot of additional equipment and can satisfy all your wishes.

Our garden sheds also belong in this segment, as we truly strive to meet all your wishes and deliver your garden shed, from vision to your garden.
