Preparing the base and managing sectional delivery — New Mills
New Mills homeowners should start by confirming the exact footprint and route for sectional delivery before base work begins, measuring the narrowest gate, side passage width and any turns from pavement to siting. For a concrete or compacted type-1 stone base, ensure a true level within 10–15mm over the building area and provide edge restraints to prevent settlement; include through-drainage or falls away from the door to avoid pooling. Coordinate delivery times, secure temporary clearance on the access route, and leave 50–100mm clearance around walls for fixings and future maintenance. For metal sheds buyers, confirm the exact specification and delivery postcode before purchasing.

Plan ventilation and condensation control as well as door clearance, especially if the shed will hold tools, bicycles or equipment that should stay dry.

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 →
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.
