Garden Sheds Leatherhead

If you want to enhance the features of your Leatherhead garden by installing a new garden shed, one of the most important decisions you’ll need to make is how big it should be. The ideal size for your garden shed will depend on a range of factors, including the following:

• what you’ll use the Leatherhead garden shed for – if you need to store large equipment or you want to work in your shed, you’ll need plenty of space
• how much space there is in your Leatherhead garden – a large garden shed would really dominate a small garden, and there may be local restrictions about how big a garden shed can be, relative to the size of your outdoor space
• your budget – generally a larger garden shed will cost more than a smaller one
• your future plans – while you may only need a small garden shed now, if you can envisage ways you might use it differently in the future, it’s better to choose a larger size, rather than have to replace your garden shed in a couple of years’ time

It’s a good rule of thumb to go for a larger size rather than a smaller one if you can, as you’ll always be able to use the extra space, but you may feel too restricted in a smaller space. However, depending on the size of the Leatherhead garden shed you choose, you’ll need to be aware that you may need planning permission.
