Decorated Shed versus the Market Leaders

How do Decorated Shed garden buildings compare to those from high quality competitors? Here we’ve collated some of the most common queries about our products, along with the reasons why Decorated Shed can provide the solution to your garden building needs.

There’s not enough space in my garden.


We’ve got designs that can fit into all sizes of garden, even the smallest. The most compact of our buildings - the Office - has a footprint of just 3x4m, meaning that it can be sited in small gardens and still leave space for comfortable access and a highly desirable presentation.

Even if the dimensions of the buildings in our design range still don’t suit your particular garden we can design a bespoke solution or resize an existing design around your needs, meaning that there really isn’t an outdoor space too small or unusual for a Decorated Shed garden building.

It seems expensive, particularly compared to other garden buildings.


It’s a fact that not all garden buildings are born equal, and Decorated Shed designs reside firmly at the top-end of the market. As a result, it isn’t a like-for-like assessment to compare our prices with those of vastly inferior products, as they’re not remotely the same offerings. Decorated Shed garden buildings are permanent, energy efficient structures with full services, built with premium materials, designed to last a lifetime and add appreciable value to your property – much in the same way that a house extension would. The same cannot be said of the vast majority of other garden buildings on the market.

When compared to similar high quality garden buildings in the executive end of the market, Decorated Shed’s pricing structure represents outstanding value for money. We believe that we design and create the very best garden buildings currently available in the UK, and our prices are kept at a level markedly lower than those of our genuine competitors. In addition to this, we include the cost of additional works such as foundations and electrical preparation in our initial price, something that often isn’t the case with competitors.

Will the costs spiral?

Decorated Shed costs include the full build, foundations and connection to services. We carry out a full site survey prior to any price being quoted to a client, meaning that we’re aware of every eventuality and cost that might occur during the build, and there are no surprises at any stage. In short, the price that you’re quoted is the absolute final price that you’ll pay. This isn’t the case with all premium garden building suppliers, where the overall costs can often exceed expectations.


Will it be worth it in the long run?

Having a Decorated Shed garden building installed immediately brings a host of benefits into your life, and as a result it can prove its worth many times over. Looking at cost savings, if you begin working from your Decorated Shed instead of a leased office, you’re immediately saving on both rent and travel costs – two outgoings that could comfortably pay for the cost of a Decorated Shed in a relatively short space of time. Even using a Decorated Shed for homeworking one or two days a week will result in a noticeable drop in transport costs.

Financial considerations aside, the time-saving aspect of a Decorated Shed garden building can be even more rewarding – no commuting time means more time at home both in the morning and evening, which we’re sure you’ll agree is invaluable.

Might it be a hassle getting installed?

Our build and installation team is made up of time-served professionals who have a real pride in their work and the unique, beautiful buildings that they create. The site is kept orderly, uncluttered and tidy for the duration of the build, which typically takes less than five days. We always aim to make the process a completely hassle-free experience for the client from start to finish.
