Steel vs Wooden Sheds:
whats are the differences between them?
So you know you want a shed, but you can’t decide if you want a Steel one or a Wooden one, right? Happens all the time. “Are steel sheds better than wooden sheds?”, or “are wooden sheds better?” are questions that we get asked quite a lot here in Sheds Direct Ireland. With that in mind, we decided to make this handy, complete guide which outlines the differences between Steel and Wooden Sheds. We hope it helps!
The short version
Price
Steel sheds are on average much cheaper than their wooden alternatives. Particularly in the larger sizes.
Flatpacked
Steel Sheds can be shipped flatpacked. This keeps the price down even further, but it means that we can get our sheds across Ireland quickly.
Virtually No Maintenance
If you want a low maintenance shed, a Steel Shed is the best option for you.
Endless Customisation
You can make a fully bespoke order on a wooden shed. Add or remove what you like to get the shed that you want.
No solid, level base required
Unlike steel sheds, wooden shed don’t require a solid, level base. They just go up on solid blocks.
Natural Light
Most wooden sheds come with a window, so there’s a natural light source.
