The 8ft x 6ft Steel Cottage Shed

The Cottage Shed is a very popular shed – it’s the best selling alternative to the Classic Range of Steel Sheds.

This modern-looking shed comes with a lovely grey two-tone finish, one exterior clasp-lock, two interior bolt-locks, two large, double hinged doors, two outlet spouts, gutters and it is our only steel shed with a front window. Cottage Sheds are so called because the apex is on the side, not the front.

The Cottage Shed comes flat packed with assembly instructions included, but you will need one more person with you to assist in assembling this shed. Afterwards, you’ll have someone to talk with about how marvellous it looks. This is an ideal choice for gardeners, DIY enthusiasts or families – and it comes with our fantastic 5-year Rust Perforation Warranty.

Who is the 8ft x 6ft Steel Cottage shed for?

Cottage Sheds are perfect for families and gardeners. The double doors open wide to allow bikes and other children’s items to be stored easily. The large polycarbonate window allows the shed to fill with natural light – providing that you position it correctly it can be a perfect spot for gardeners to use as a potting shed while germinating seeds. This garden shed looks as great in suburban gardens as it does in larger, rural ones.

The window really opens this shed us to be used by anyone really. We’ve had people use them as mini studios for things like crafting or clothing alterations. They’ve been used as dog grooming salons, garden bars and even as painting studios too.

The 8ft x 6ft Cottage Shed assembly

This shed is easy to assemble for those with experience in working with flat-pack items. Instructions, Screws, nuts and fittings are all included, however, you will need the tools to erect this yourself (drill, screwdriver). The instructions are image-based, i.e. there is very little text. We would recommend that you read our guide to self-assembly and check out our instructions page to see what’s involved if you’re thinking of giving self-assembly a go yourself.

We would strongly advise that two people put this unit together as it may be awkward or unsafe to do it alone. The large sheet panels can be cumbersome and difficult to align alone. They can become very dangerous in high winds, so we also advise against assembly in windy, wet or otherwise unsafe conditions.

Assembly by our team

The team will assemble your shed for you provided that you have a suitable base. The assembly team do not apply the screw caps or remove the protective plastic film. These are optional and it is the customers’ choice to add/remove these if desired.

The assembly team do not assemble any other products other than the steel shed.
e.g. They do not assembly shelving units, canopies, carts or any other item purchased with the shed 

 

Base requirements

All our Steel Sheds require a solid level base. Concrete, Paving slabs and Tarmac are all suitable. See more about what your base should look like here.
We advise that you lay a damp-proof membrane under your base to reduce the chance of condensation formation during the colder months.

1. Please read our ‘What to expect after purchasing your shed’ guide for all information relating to delivery / assembly. Page 1 is flat-packed delivery details, page 2 is supply and fit details. 
2. The Pictured Wooden Floor is not included with flat-packed sheds. Ply flooring only comes with the assembly option, which is not available in every county. 
3. You will need a solid, level base for this shed. It cannot be laid on grass alone. Please see our guide on how to choose should you need assistance.
4. Sheds are measured externally, i.e. gutter to gutter. Internal floor size will differ from external measurements.
5. In very rare instances, the shed may vary +/-10% in size. This is because of the way in which steel is cut.
