How long does a wooden shed last?

Pressure-treated timber typically carries a 10–15 year anti-rot guarantee with no maintenance; dip-treated needs re-treating every year or two to keep a shorter guarantee valid. On a proper base and with decent felt, a good wooden shed outlasts either figure.

Wooden vs metal vs plastic — why choose timber?

Wood is the easiest to customise (shelves, hooks, paint), looks best, and is the simplest to repair panel by panel. Metal wins on security and price per square metre; plastic on zero maintenance. Timber's trade-off is the treatment schedule unless you buy pressure-treated.

Best wooden sheds, compared

Timber sheds from the UK retailers we track — overlap, shiplap and tongue-and-groove — ranked by value and specification with live prices. The same manufacturer's wooden shed often appears at several retailers at different prices; we merge those into one entry so you can see who sells it cheapest today.

Independent comparison: we may earn a commission when you buy through links on this page. It never affects how we rank products — see our method.
