A shed for those wanting to to store more than garden tools!
The workshop features higher ceilings and more substantial framework and robust flooring to allow more manual work and give more usability to the space.
With security doors and optional windows included within the price it can be made as secure or let as much light through as required.
Everything is made to order so we can make it exactly how you want it.. its your choice!
Some of the workshop style sheds we have sold in the past have been used as sculpture studios, a bike mechanic repair garage or even a gym.

Shed Cladding
Most sheds come with and option of 12mm Shiplap or 16mm Loglap.
Each shed product image has a green label showing the cladding which has been used so you can get an idea of how it looks.
Felt Upgrade
We offer a shed roofing felt upgrade option.
Our standard roofing felt is included in your timber building price and comes with a 6 month warranty, this felt is a fibre based and may crease over time.
Our Premium upgraded roofing felt comes with a 9 month warranty and is a charcoal mineral felt with a film faced reverse, making the felt harder wearing and less likely to crease.
Our premium felt upgrade can last up to 5 years!
Cladding Options
Shiplap or Log lap, which is the right one for you?
16mm Loglap is our Premium cladding option.
Loglap cladding features interlocking tongue and groove boards, with a curved finish. This provides the aesthetic appeal of a traditional log cabin. At its thickest point, loglap cladding is generally thicker than standard shiplap.
12mm Shiplap is our standard cladding option.
Shiplap cladding features interlocking tongue and groove boards, with a slight profile to enable water run-off.
Shiplap cladding is usually thicker and better quality than overlap.
We also offer a New Premium
option which is our 20mm Rustic cladding option, see our sample board for this.
Shed Treatment
Treatment is important to maintain the appearance and structural integrity of a wooden shed.
Dip Treated
Dip-treated timber is orange in colour and contains around 9-10% moisture after treatment.
Dip- treated timber is submerged in a bath of a protective preservative before being left to dry. Please note that dip treated timber will lose its colouring over time and its ability to battle the elements will also fade.
Pressure Treated
Pressure-treated timber has a green tinge in colour and
contains around 60% moisture after treatment.
Due to the high levels of moisture retained in the timber, this type of treatment can create more condensation and
movement within your timber building & boards.
Pressure treatment penetrates deeply into the wood before being left to dry. Pressure-treated timber is more
expensive, but the wood will generally last longer. If a piece of timber is tanalised, it means that it is highly resistant to fungus and infestations.
It is strongly recommended to re-treat all wood shortly after installation, and annually thereafter to ensure the longest possible life.
We offer a full installation service on all our sheds and summerhouses within a 20 Mile Radius of Bingley Fencing.
Our fee includes bringing the shed to site, assembly and installation.
The site must be level and clear prior to our arrival - please see more detail in Pre-Sale Advisory
Do I Have a Suitable Shed Base?
All garden sheds must
sit on a firm and level base of adequate size. A level base will maximise your
timber buildings life span.
We offer a timber shed base
installation service if you do not have an existing appropriate base in place.
While the ground beneath
the base may sloped, the base itself must be perfectly level.
Bases are typically
built from concrete, paving slabs or timber. A correctly assembled base will
prolong the life of your garden building.
Floor Bearers
We strongly recommend
the use of floor bearers. Floor bearers are tanalised timber sections that are
placed between your base and timber building floor.
They are designed to
considerably extend the life of your timber building by preventing rising damp
from your flagged or concrete base area, allowing air circulation. Bearers also
offer stability and strength to your timber building, it is highly recommended
to add bearers when installing a large timber building.
We offer a timber bearer
upgrade option for all timber building being installed onto a concrete or flagged area.
Shed/ Timber Building - Pre- Sale Customer Advisory
** Please take time to fully read and understand this document at the point of purchasing your shed/ timber building.
All our sheds/ timber buildings are non- refundable or exchangeable, as sheds/ timber buildings are not stock items and are all made to order.
When considering installation of your shed, you must ensure that you have accounted for a minimum of 1ft space (ideally more where possible) around the entire shed in order to install and maintain.
** Please note at the point of purchase, if the customer has ordered a shed for installation, we will come to install assuming there is a minimum of 1ft gap all the way around the shed. If this is not the case when our fitting team arrive to install the timber building a fee of £25.00 Including Vat will be charged. (Unless pre-agreed at the point of purchase with our sales team)
This will delay the installation of your shed.
Suitable timber building base options –
Bases are typically built from level concrete, paving slabs or timber bearers, and a correctly assembled base will prolong the life of your garden building.
All garden timber buildings must sit on a firm and level base of adequate size.
We do not recommend having a shed/ timber building installed directly onto soil, grass, or gravel.
We offer a timber shed base installation service if you do not have an existing appropriate base in place.
** Please note at the point of purchase, if the customer has advised a level/ suitable base is in situ and this is not the case when our fitting team arrive to install the timber building a fee of £25.00 Including Vat will be charged.
This will delay the installation of your shed until a suitable base is laid or payment is made for for a Bingley Fencing timber base.
**Please note that a fee of £25.00 Including Vat will be charged if our fitting team attends site and are unable to access the installation area.
This will delay the installation of your timber building. Large timber building panels are manually carried from vehicle to installation point – if there is restricted access, we must be made aware of this prior to installation.
** Bingley Fencing can only advise on a suitable/ level base option, and it is at the discretion of the customer if they chose not to supply or purchase a suitable/ level base option.
Warranty is only valid on Sheds/ Timber buildings installed on advised level bases. Any Sheds/ Timber buildings installed on unlevel bases or directly onto grass, soil or gravel will be void of any warranty.
Timber Building Treatment Options-
** It is strongly recommended to re-treat the wood before or shortly after installation, and annually thereafter to ensure the longest possible life.
Dipped-
Appears orange in colour. And has on average a 9-10% moisture content after treatment.
Dip-treated timber is submerged in a bath of a protective preservative before being left to dry. It is worth bearing in mind, however, that dip treated timber will lose its colouring over time and its ability to battle the elements will also fade.
Tanalised –
Appears slightly green in colour but retains more of the natural timber colouring. And has on average a 60% moisture content after treatment.
Due to its high moisture content & penetrative treatment method, tanalised treated timber buildings tend to incur more condensation and expansion than dip treated timber buildings.
Pressure-treated timber is submerged in a preservative under high pressure, causing it to penetrate deeply into the wood before being left to dry. Pressure-treated timber is more expensive, but the wood will generally last longer. If a piece of timber is tanalised, it means that it is highly resistant to fungus and infestations. Tanalised timber tends to last longer than dip-treated timber.
Warranty periods-
Our standard roofing felt comes with a 6-month warranty, Premium roofing felt upgrade has a 9-month warranty and the timber building is covered by a 12-month warranty.
