When people search for sheds, they are usually looking for more than just storage. A shed can be the heart of your garden, a space for tools, hobbies, relaxation, or even a home office. With so many different types of sheds available, it can feel overwhelming to know where to start. The good news is that whether you want a traditional design, a modern twist, or a shed with a specific purpose, you’ll find the perfect option.
At Mark Forrest & Co, we know that sheds are more than four walls and a roof. They’re versatile, practical, and a way to make your outdoor space work harder. From Apex sheds to Pent sheds, potting sheds to summerhouses, and even log cabins, the choice is bigger than ever. Let’s explore the world of sheds so you can see how one might transform your garden.
The Classic Appeal of Apex Sheds
The Apex shed remains one of the most popular choices for British gardens. With its traditional peaked roof, it offers both style and functionality. Apex sheds are perfect for those who want plenty of headroom inside, making them ideal for tool storage or even as a small workshop.
There are many variations to suit your needs. Apex Premium Sheds offer excellent quality, while Apex Security Sheds provide extra protection for valuable items. Gardeners love Apex Potting Sheds and Potting Shed Combi designs because they create the perfect environment for growing plants. If you need something specific, Apex Bike Sheds or Storage Sheds keep everything organised. And if you want to extend your living space outdoors, Apex Summerhouses or Summerhouse Combi models bring comfort and charm to your garden.
The Modern Edge of Pent Sheds
Pent sheds, with their single-sloped roof, give a more contemporary feel. They are ideal for smaller gardens or for positioning against a wall or fence. Despite their modern design, Pent sheds are just as versatile as Apex ones.
Choose Pent Premium Sheds for strength and durability, or Pent Security Sheds for peace of mind. Potting enthusiasts will love Pent Potting Sheds and Potting Shed Combi versions, while Pent Bike Sheds provide safe and dry storage for cycles. If you want a blend of function and style, Pent Summerhouses and Summerhouse Combi designs are a great choice. They create a cosy retreat without taking up too much space.
Corner Sheds for Tricky Spaces
Not every garden has room for a large shed in the middle of the lawn. Corner sheds solve this problem beautifully. Designed to fit neatly into the corner of your garden, they maximise space while still giving you plenty of storage. Corner Summerhouses also add elegance, creating a private spot to relax while making the most of unused areas.
More Than Storage: Log Cabins
While sheds are fantastic, log cabins take things to another level. They offer space that feels like an extension of your home. Whether you need a garden office, a hobby room, or a place to entertain, a log cabin is the answer.
Our range includes Apex Log Cabins, Pent Log Cabins, and Chalet Log Cabins, all available in 28mm or 44mm timber thickness. The thicker the walls, the more robust and insulated the structure, making it perfect for year-round use. Workshop Log Cabins are also available for those who need serious space for projects. With so many options, you can choose the size, style, and finish that suits your needs best.
Specialist Sheds for Every Purpose
Not all sheds are the same, and that’s a good thing. Some are built with a very specific purpose in mind. Tool sheds keep your gardening kit organised, while pub sheds bring a social touch to the garden. Log stores ensure your firewood stays dry and ready for use. By choosing a specialist shed, you can make your outdoor space more efficient and enjoyable.
Shed Accessories to Finish the Job
A shed is only as good as the finishing touches. With the right accessories, you can make your shed even more practical. Shelving, hooks, locks, and treatments all make a difference. Adding accessories helps you personalise your shed, extend its lifespan, and get the most out of your investment.
Why a Shed Is a Smart Investment
Buying a shed is about more than storage. It’s about adding value to your home, creating space for hobbies, and making your garden work harder for you. A shed gives you somewhere to store everything that clutters up your home. It provides a place to escape, whether that’s for gardening, DIY, or relaxation. And with options ranging from traditional Apex sheds to modern Pent sheds and luxurious log cabins, there’s something for every taste and budget.
When you invest in a high-quality shed, you also invest in durability. Made from premium timber, our sheds are built to withstand the unpredictable British weather. Whether you choose a small tool shed or a large log cabin, you can trust it will stand the test of time.
Choosing Your Perfect Shed
The best shed for you depends on your needs, garden size, and personal style. Do you want something small and functional, or are you dreaming of a larger space to enjoy with friends and family? Think about how you’ll use the shed. Storage, gardening, working, or relaxing all call for slightly different designs.
The good news is that you don’t have to compromise. With such a wide range of Apex sheds, Pent sheds, corner sheds, summerhouses, and log cabins available, you can find the one that suits your life perfectly.
