A garden is an extension of your house, and a shed comes with a garden. Needless to say that your shed will be thoroughly occupied all year round, and even if you think that you don’t need it, you’re about to find out all of the very useful things that you could be doing with it.

Even though we’re in the winter months and no one is out gardening this time of year, a shed is still in full use. With the current trend of keeping fit, many people are biking to and from work, and storing your bike in your shed not only keeps it secure overnight, but protects it from getting rusted by the rain that has become more frequent. Mercia has a range of sheds that can be used to store bikes in for easy access.

With the roads just starting to freeze over you can get a glimpse of the horrendous traffic conditions to come, if it snows and you need to drive somewhere there is only one answer, salt. Road salt saves many people over winter and helps them get off in the mornings, but where do you store it so that it doesn’t get wet? A shed will keep the salt dry and ready for you to use whenever you need it. Mercia can provide you with a small storage box nearer to your house, which will hold the salt without taking up too much of your garden space.

Summer may seem a long way off but it’ll be here sooner than you think. The shed holds all of the summer toys that only get used for those few months in the middle of the year, its one of the main reasons we have one, because no one wants water pistols or body boards inside their house for the rest of the seasons. In a shed you know all of your summertime accessories are safe and sound, but most importantly, out of the way. Mercia has a range of sheds in different sizes to suit anyone’s needs.
