Short Description

Imagine a shed that’s got the charm of a classic beach hut, giving you those lovely vibes of British seaside getaways. That’s The Southwold for you. Its design comes straight from chats with top-notch London landscape designers who wanted a shed that said “coast”. It’s got this fab covered veranda that’s just the ticket for leaving your gardening tools—or even your buckets and spades. And there’s plenty of room for a couple of potted plants to boot.

The Southwold Shed

But make no mistake, the Southwold is a Posh Shed through and through, and as with any Posh Shed it’s all about detail, you won’t find a single nail peeking out; they’re all cleverly concealed beneath our distinctive vertical boarding. The result? Sleek, flawless walls that come in a choice of seven sophisticated, high-performance exterior paint colours. The floors are fully insulated, providing a warm and comfortable space regardless of the weather outside. When it comes to roofing, you have the option to choose between composite slate or cedar shingles, both known for their durability and aesthetic appeal. And to make things even easier for you, we include delivery and professional installation. It measures 1.7m wide by 2.4m deep (including the veranda), with the roof peaking at 2.5m high. It’s the small, smart shed that’s big on coastal character and practicality.

Check out the upgrade options from being Posh to being Unbelievably Posh that gets you fully insulated through to having integrated shelving and guttering.

Paint Options

We’re more than proud of our Posh Sheds’ flawless paintwork. We begin hands-on, sanding any imperfections and filling in any holes or gaps to ensure each shed has a perfect surface. Then, in our specialised spray shop, we apply a timber primer on all outside surfaces, double-checking and sorting any missed blemishes. Finally, we top it off with two layers of Teknos Aquatop—a top-notch paint that’s not only very long lasting but also wards off UV rays, mold, and grime with its slick smooth finish. 

All of these stunning paint options are available at no extra cost, so you can choose the perfect colour to suit your garden without any additional charges!

Roofing Options

Our roofs? They’re the trusty top hat of your Posh Shed – classic, reliable, and a bit dapper. You get to pick the topping, whether it’s the sleek composite slate or the charming red cedar shingles. We snug them onto a water-resistant membrane that keeps the damp out and the cosiness in, all while keeping mould at bay with some clever battens. Thinking of giving your roof the full VIP treatment? As an upgrade we can add a layer of insulation* under the plywood, topped with tongue and groove boarding. And because we’re all about keeping things dry, there’s a handy overhang at both roof ends to keep the drizzle out. And for that final flourish? Each roof is crowned with our signature stainless steel finial, tipping its hat to the snazzy art deco era. So, there you have it – roofs that are as solid as a good British handshake and stylish to boot.

Both roof options are available at no extra cost, so you can choose the style that suits your shed best without any additional charges!

Why upgrade to Comfortably Posh?

Fully Insulated

Fancy making your Posh Shed extra cosy? When upgrading from “Posh” to “Comfortably Posh,” you get fully insulated walls and roof. Add that to the trusty moisture-proof membrane, and voilà! you’ll be dry and toasty all year. 

Roof

We take the Posh roof sections and affix thick PIR insulation boards to the decorative plywood on the underside. To finish off, we cover the insulation board with T&G boarding. So, all you see is gorgeous, interlocked T&G boarding which you can stain or paint, it's your choice. Now all that rising warmth stays in the shed and on hot sunny days the heat from the roof is kept at bay. 

Walls

Our insulated walls are like cosy blankets for your shed. We use thick PIR insulated boards, secure them into the wall framing, and then dress them up with interlocked tongue and groove boards which you can paint or stain. The result? A triple-layer wall that keeps you snug and dry. 

Why upgrade to Unbelievably Posh?

Jump up from Comfortably Posh to Unbelievably Posh and we’ll add integrated shelving, with on some models shelving that easily doubles up as a worktable. Plus, you’ll get guttering and a water butt for water conservation. Finally, we stop unwanted guests by making your floor rodent proof!

Guttering

Guttering

We catch rainwater from the shed roof using black gutters tucked under the eaves. This prevents water from splashing up the wall sides. 

Water Butt

Water Butt

We stash the rainwater that we catch in the guttering, in a sleek 100-litre black water butt to help you save on those water bills.

Rodent Proof Flooring

Rodent Proof Flooring

You dirty rat, you can stay out! Thanks to the addition of an integrated wire mesh layer into the floor. 

Shelving

Shelving

To fully kit out your shed, we pop in a 22mm x 170mm shelf onto the back wall for all shed models. And for the Potting and Gothic styles, we throw in an extra 22mm x 340mm shelf that easily doubles up as a desk!
