So today we are going to focus on Garden Sheds. There are many valid reasons why no garden should be without a good shed, and Taylors Garden Buildings specialise in very good sheds indeed. We all love our sheds, and they offer a lot more than simply somewhere to store the lawnmower.

But of course, this is in itself a very good reason to own a garden shed. After all, without a shed our beautiful gardens would be buried under the tools we use to make them beautiful in the first place. A handsome shed, of any size, is the best way to store gardening equipment more in a tidy and attractive package.

Better still, it’s the ideal place to store great garden furniture when it isn’t in use. Let’s face it, we don’t get the most reliable summer, and we can guarantee a miserable winter, so unless it’s looked after our garden furniture can be subjected to plenty of abuse from the elements. Where better to shelter all of your garden wares than in a great shed?

The process of building your shed can be enjoyable and greatly rewarding. It certainly isn’t difficult, and even the most hapless DIY doer should master a basic shed. Yet a nice looking shed can enhance the overall appearance of your garden and even enhance the value of your house.
There’s far more to a shed than four wooden walls and Taylors Garden Buildings offer a wide range of sheds in all shapes, styles and sizes.

Specialising in bespoke garden buildings, including sheds, summerhouses and log cabins, Taylors have more than 50 years of experience providing sheds which manage to be attractive and functional and unbeatable in price. It’s incredible that they’d manage all three, but that is precisely what you get from a Taylor’s shed.

If you’ve never tried your hand at tiling before, you might just assume that it will be easier to leave it to the professionals. However, why not get your creative juices flowing and put your mind to some DIY? It will be substantially cheaper than hiring someone in and it’ll have that special, personal touch. There are several things that you should consider before attempting to tile your home. Contact your local tile supplier and see what they have to offer.

Perhaps the most important thing to consider is whether the surface on which you will place your tiles is ‘prepared’ for the job. This means making sure that your surfaces are completely flat an even. If they aren’t, you won’t be able to properly align your tiles and the whole thing will look very amateurish. You can make the surface of your walls even by re-skimming with plaster. This does require a certain degree of skill and if you don’t feel up to the task, you could always by some purpose-made plasterboard and attach that to the wall.

When you are satisfied that your surfaces are completely even, you will then have to plan out where exactly your tiles will be positioned. It is worth measuring everything exactly to see how you will arrange them, plus you’ll be able to calculate exactly how many tiles will be needed. It is always best to have a few spare in case some break or chip.

When you attach your tiles, you’ll need to use a special adhesive. Wait for this to dry completely and apply a generous amount of grout to fill the gaps between tiles. Before it dries, wipe away any excess with a damp cloth or similar.
