Insulated Sheds
The garden shed has been constantly evolving. Traditional garden storage solutions are also a great candidate to use for a variety of other uses. Insulated sheds ensure that using them all year-round is far more comfortable.
Read on and find out just why an insulated shed could be a home from home.
Insulated Sheds for Working from Home
The biggest change in shed use in the last few years has been the growth in working from home. Where space is at a premium, an insulated shed will ensure that work and home activities don’t merge. Creating demarcation between work and home is important. Siting your work out of the house and in the garden creates the separation.
A larger shed gives plenty of space for a desk, office storage, or even a couch to relax and have lunch on a rainy day.
Insulated Sheds to use as an Extension to the House
Space – not the final frontier but an earthly commodity in huge demand. Somewhere to escape to is so valuable in peoples’ busy lives. From a reading room to a sewing room, a garden bolt hole is a healthy addition to a busy household.
An insulated garden shed is great for craft-based hobbies. As well as being away from the home, a shed offers an inspirational outlook.
In a busy house, space to chill out is so important. Sheds make an excellent (and cool) teenage den to listen to read, create music, socialise with friends or even do homework!
Year-Round Comfort
The cooler autumn and winter months will inevitably mean a cooler shed. To be sure that your shed stays cosy all year round, insulation is crucial.

Double glazing is standard on all Posh Sheds completing their toasty credentials.
How to Keep your Shed Warm all Year Round
Many people choose to add heat and power to their sheds. The best way to heat an insulated shed is with a portable electric heater. These can be mains electric, however improvements in solar power mean that off-grid options are also more readily available.
Advances in renewable energy mean that there are many choices suitable for adding power to a domestic shed.
Solar Panels are ideal for charging a mobile phone or powering a portable speaker. If mains power is needed, then consult a qualified professional electrician to install a safe supply.
Finally, don’t under-estimate the power of sunlight! Position your shed windows in full sun thus allowing nature to warm your shed on sunny days. The insulation will then retain that heat well. When choosing the location for your shed, consider if the location of trees or buildings will consequently obstruct the sun in the winter months when you need that extra boost the most.
