A SHED WORTH THE SEARCH

The first decision was easy; ‘we need a shed'. Thereafter a trawl of normal shed retailers suggested it may prove harder than envisaged to find a shed of the right standard. For the Mayhews it was important to find a shed that would both look the part in their compact London garden and also keep garden furniture and cushions dry during the long, damp winter months. The search broadened as Mrs Mayhew explains. "I scoured as many gardening and home magazines as I could looking for what I had in mind. Eventually I came across a Posh Shed Company advert in Country Living. The name itself was intriguing and when I saw the range on the website I knew I had found the right product. I chose the smaller of the available Contemporary sizes as I thought it would complement my own garden and those of my neighbours". From the date of order the shed was delivered by Richard from the Posh Shed Company around 4 weeks later. Although Mrs Mayhew was initially concerned about access to the garden, the shed arrived in manageable sections and Richard sited it on existing slabs.

In addition to the shed the Mayhews ordered additional shelves which have proven invaluable. She adds, "it has already resisted some very heavy downpours and is as dry as the day it was installed. I am impressed by the detail of the shed and it has certainly been admired by visitors. It has all our garden furniture inside as well as the normal garden equipment, spades, mower, forks and the like. And you can still walk to the back of the shed. We started with a budget for a good shed and probably paid at least double for our Posh Shed. And we're delighted we did".
