Plan where doors open relative to patios and seating — Longton
Longton buyers should position doors so they don’t swing into patio seating or obstruct routes, introducing Longton early to guide decisions. Consider outward-opening double doors that clear the sitting area or opt for sliding doors where space is tight; measure door swing arcs against existing patio furniture. Ensure threshold alignment with patio slabs for smooth trolley movement, and provide a raised, drained base to prevent water ingress during heavy rain. Choose corrosion-resistant hinges and catches for external exposure and leave comfortable clearance so the patio remains usable when the shed is in use. For summerhouses buyers, confirm the exact specification and delivery postcode before purchasing.

Choosing Summerhouses in Longton
Think about how sunlight moves across the garden, the view from the building, glazing, door position and whether the summerhouse will be mainly seasonal or used for longer periods of the year. Position a summerhouse around how you want to use the garden: consider the outlook, afternoon and evening sun, privacy and the direction the doors open. Leave enough room around the building for installation, drainage and ongoing care. For Longton deliveries, the exact postcode, access and any installation requirements are confirmed before the order proceeds.
Delivery, installation and preparation
Delivery options vary by product and postcode. Installation is available on selected garden buildings. Always check the product's base requirements before ordering and make sure there is suitable access to the delivery or installation area.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the usable garden area and allow space for access, doors, roof overhangs and maintenance. It is usually better to allow some spare internal storage space rather than buying to the exact minimum.
Can installation be arranged?
Installation is available on selected buildings. Availability depends on the product, postcode and base conditions, so our team will confirm the details before the order proceeds.
Do I need a base?
Yes. Every shed or garden building should stand on a firm, level and well-drained base. The base is the foundation underneath the building; it is different from the internal floor supplied with some sheds. Common options include concrete, paving slabs, timber frames and plastic base systems. Shop shed bases →
Are wooden sheds waterproof?
Wooden garden buildings are designed to be weather-resistant rather than completely waterproof. Correct assembly, a level base, a properly fitted roof covering, timber treatment and ventilation all help keep the building dry and performing well. Read our wooden shed care guide →
Do I need planning permission?
Many garden buildings in England can be installed under permitted development rights, subject to height, position and coverage limits. A key rule is that a building within 2 metres of a boundary is generally limited to 2.5 metres overall height. Listed buildings, flats and some restricted or designated properties need extra checks.
