The garden building and shed market

The demand for garden buildings and sheds has increased due to several factors. Remote work trends have led to a higher demand for garden office sheds. The growth in home gardening activities has resulted in a greater need for potting sheds.

As online shopping continues to grow, the requirement for additional storage space in homes has led to an uptick in shed purchases.

Modern sheds often incorporate functional design elements, ensuring they serve their primary purpose while complementing a property’s aesthetics. There’s a noticeable increase in interest in sheds made with sustainable materials and to eco-friendly designs.

Technological integrations, such as insulation and electricity, are becoming more common to make these structures usable throughout the year.

The market outlook suggests continued growth, driven by these trends and the “improve, don’t move” behaviour expected in the UK housing market as interest rates remain high.
