Barras Garden Shed Company is a long-standing shed builder in Glasgow. With over 30 years of experience, we think you can trust their expertise in crafting quality sheds and outdoor structures.

Their Kent Street showroom in Glasgow offers a wide range of products on display, from sheds to log cabins and more, allowing you to see options firsthand.

We think the best part is their free installation. It is included in the price for all their products, ensuring a hassle-free setup.

Not only is the installation free, but customers can also enjoy the convenience of free delivery within a 20-mile radius, making it easy to get your shed home.

For those who need to remove their old shed, they conveniently offer a dismantling service, with pricing available upon request.

We love that they cater to different needs, including playhouse sheds for children and kennel sheds for dog lovers.

Customers should be prepared to put down a 15%-20% deposit of the full price when ordering. 

While the quality is there, their sheds can be on the pricier side. For instance, a standard 6 x 4 ft shed will cost you £665 while this is priced lower by their competitors.

Some customers also have experienced issues with their opening hours, with delays beyond the official 10 AM start time. Some even went there at 11:30 AM, but they were still closed at the time.

Another shed company with a solid reputation is Shedman. With over 32 years in the business, we think they bring a wealth of experience to the table.

Those who’d like to explore their offerings and browse through actual options first can visit one of their two showrooms, an indoor one near Glasgow Green at their Dalmarnock branch and an outdoor showroom in Glasgow City Centre. 

All of their sheds are hand-built using fully-treated 14 mm tongue and groove timber sourced from Sweden. This is great for those who love the look and feel of wood.

They also provide free installation when delivering and installing sheds at your home, saving you the hassle of picking it up from their store or installing it yourself.

If you need to replace an old shed, Shedman offers a dismantling service, with prices starting from just £95.

They also have a range of specialised sheds available. For instance, catering to cyclists, they offer bike sheds, and they also offer log stores for firewood storage.

Since Shedman specialises in wood sheds, those looking for alternative materials such as metal may need to explore other options. 

Customers are also required to make a hefty 50% deposit when ordering from Shedman.

While their website suggests nationwide delivery, some customers have reported regional limitations, such as not delivering to areas like Dumfries. Do confirm delivery availability in your area before purchasing.

Peter Kane is a local family company with 30 years of experience in the business. This brings us confidence that it knows the ins and outs of the shed industry.

The company specialises in crafting custom-built sheds, ensuring your shed suits your unique requirements, as well as the specific measurements of your outdoor space.

Customers can enjoy peace of mind with a 12-month guarantee on their products, which we think is a testament to their commitment to quality.

Unlike some competitors, their delivery service is seamlessly included in the price, simplifying the process.

A satisfied customer we interviewed mentioned that their 10×8 shed, including base installation and old shed removal, was completed in just one day and still looked excellent over a year later. We feel that this speaks to their efficiency and quality.

Beyond sheds, the company offers decking and fencing services in East Kilbride and Glasgow. Meaning, they can be a one-stop solution for your outdoor needs.

In addition to decking and fencing, they extend their services to property management. This enables them to offer a broader spectrum of support.

Keep in mind that Peter Kane’s sheds are closed on Sundays, so plan your visits or inquiries accordingly.

Their range of shed types is also relatively limited, so check first if they offer the specific type you’re seeking.

Some customers have reported issues with shed leaks, which might factor into your decision when choosing a shed.

Clyde Valley Sheds is another reputable shed builder in Glasgow. The company offers a free, no-obligation quote, which is great for those who need time to think it over. 

Unlike mass-produced alternatives, their sheds are custom-built to meet your specific needs and budget. This is great for those who prefer one-of-a-kind pieces, special requests, or those with irregular measurement requirements.

For those who take pride in supporting local businesses, Clyde Valley Sheds would be a good choice. This is because their products are proudly manufactured in Lanarkshire by skilled joiners and craftsmen.

Unless specified otherwise, their sheds also come complete with a floor, saving you additional hassle and costs.

For those on a tight budget, they offer a finance option through iDeal. This makes your shed purchase even more accessible.

For families, Clyde Valley Sheds specialises in children’s playhouses with safety glass or Perspex windows. These playhouses can be designed with specific themes and exciting features like shutters, verandas, slides, and balconies.

Apart from sheds and playhouses, they also provide kennels for pet lovers.

Do note that Clyde Valley Sheds prefers bank transfers or cash on delivery, which might not be the most convenient payment method for some customers.

A few customers have also reported issues with leaking in their sheds after installation, raising some concerns about product quality and durability.

In addition, there have been instances where customers were asked for full payment before the shed was completed.

With 36 display sites across the UK, The Greenhouse People makes it easy for customers to explore their products in person before making a decision.

Unlike other companies, they offer free shed brochures. You can request one to help you navigate their range and make an informed choice.

They even offer a price match guarantee, promising to beat any cheaper price you find for the same greenhouse by at least £10.

They also have a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. Wherein, they promise to provide impartial advice and technical support, available seven days a week from the moment you first contact them.

Their risk-free order guarantee, which is not being offered by other shops, ensures easy, flexible, and secure ordering. You’ll only need a 10% deposit, with convenient payment options like major credit and debit cards.

Customers can also enjoy peace of mind with a free 10-year frame guarantee on all their greenhouses, including the metal base and powder-coated coloured finish.

Unlike other shed builders, The Greenhouse People offers a range of competitively priced metal sheds. They also offer competitive pricing and online discounts of up to 20%, ensuring you get value for your money.

While they offer a diverse selection of greenhouses, their range of sheds is somewhat limited, potentially narrowing down your options.

Unfortunately, The Greenhouse People does not provide custom-built sheds, which may not cater to individuals with specific requirements.
