Shed pricing is driven by three things: cladding thickness, framing size and the quality of the door. Everything else — felt, floor, windows — moves the price far less.
| Budget | What you typically get |
|---|---|
| Under £400 | Overlap cladding, 28mm frame, single braced door, thin floor |
| £400–£700 | Thicker overlap or entry shiplap, better floor, sometimes pressure treated |
| £700–£1,200 | 12mm shiplap, 44mm frame, lockable door, toughened glazing |
| £1,200+ | 16mm cladding, 50mm frame, double doors, often installed |
Costs people forget
- A base: £100–£400 depending on type and whether you lay it yourself.
- Treatment: £25–£60 per application unless the shed is pressure treated.
- Installation: commonly £150–£400 for a standard shed.
- Security upgrades: a decent hasp, staple and padlock is £30–£60.
As a rule, spend on cladding thickness and pressure treatment before size. A well-specified 8x6 outlasts a thin 10x8 by years.
