With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, people are turning to their gardens for solitude, rest, and to enjoy hobbies and other activities away from modern distractions.

At Total Sheds, we too enjoy the peace that our gardens offer, which is why we offer a great variety of sheds and summer houses for people to enjoy.

As we have so many designs and shed types on offer, let’s take a look through some of the many wonderful ways that you can enjoy a shed from Total Sheds.

Enjoy a garden office

Although many see technology as an intrusion into traditional ways of life, for many, it is a benefit that allows people to work from the comfort of their own homes.

In fact, a recent study found that nearly 70% of the world’s workforce operates from home at least one day per week.

With this in mind, any one of our summer houses would make the perfect garden office.

What’s more, our sheds are far cheaper than the one bought by David Cameron back in 2017.

Invest in your very own garden bar

Whereas some might take their work into the garden on a nice day, many people, of course, enjoy socialising and drinking in the garden.

Nowadays it is becoming more and more common for people to install small bars within their sheds for people to enjoy drinking in a bar within the comfort of their own garden.

Buy a children’s play den

A study conducted by The National Trust in 2018 found that children now spend only half the time playing outside compared to their parents.

Providing the inspiration and need for outdoor play is important.

As the study says: "Cast your mind back to childhood and remember the things that intrigued you and set fire to your imagination. Make sure your child has all the tools at their disposal to enjoy the best the outdoors has to offer."

With this in mind, our beautiful playhouses are the perfect way to get children back into the outdoors and enjoying everything that nature can offer.

Keep your dog happy with a dog kennel

As well as having trouble getting children outside, it seems that pets too have issues with not spending enough time in the garden.

Due to the fact that many of us work throughout the day, it is often hard to find time to let our pets enjoy the outdoors.

With that in mind, we’ve found greater demand for many of our dog kennels over the years so that beloved family pets can enjoy life outside while their owners are at work or away from the house for a few hours.

In fact, some of our customers even buy normal sheds for their pets with added fencing so that the dogs can move freely around the shed and some of the garden.

Keep your equipment safe with a tool store

Although our sheds offer a great deal of options for enjoying life, they exist to also provide practical purposes, such as storage.

Both our apex sheds and our pent sheds are perfect for tool storage.

Whether you’re a professional looking to store your tools, or merely a hobbyist looking for a place of safekeeping, our sheds provide the perfect sanctuary for your equipment.
