Keep an aisle through mixed family storage effectively — Sawston
Sawston homeowners should begin by measuring the intended shed and drawing the internal plan to reserve a continuous aisle down the centre or side that remains unobstructed when shelves and bins are full. Build shelving that keeps heavier items low and uses wall-mounted racks to preserve floor width for the aisle; allow 800–900mm minimum aisle for easy movement, wider if two people will pass. Check door swing and threshold height to avoid narrowing the aisle, verify base level and drainage so water cannot impinge on stored family items, and choose ventilated panels to reduce condensation. For metal sheds buyers, confirm the exact specification and delivery postcode before purchasing.

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.
