Why Autumn is the Best Time to Buy a Shed

Autumn is the best time to buy a shed in preparation for the colder months, but there’s even more to benefit from with Empire Sheds.

Autumn is the Best Time to Buy a Shed

Why? Well, there are a few reasons, and Empire Sheds have a whole range to choose from, ready to order at your fingertips.

Preparing for Colder Weather: Not only is installing a shed easier without summer heat, but it’s ideal when conditions are still dry to avoid building on soggy and wet ground. We always advise installing a shed with a strong foundational base, but treating or painting your shed also requires dry conditions. All our sheds come pressure-treated, but you never want to start building with wet wood.

Storage Space: With outdoor storage, you can pack away your garden furniture, store your bikes securely and protect your lawn mower until Spring. Declutter your garden and home after summer and put the Halloween decorations away for next year. With an autumn shed, you’re planning ahead and prepared for the change in season. We have a range of shed sizes available, so if you have a BBQ, furniture, gardening equipment, parasols and more to store away, we have something to cater for your needs.

Price Drop After Summer: Empire Sheds offer great prices year-round, but like many businesses, we have fluctuations in interest. Keep an eye out for sale prices and promotions moving forward; we’ve usually got the most competitive prices to offer.

Surviving Winter: If you’re looking for a replacement shed, now is the time to buy one! If you currently have a shed that is rotting, leaking or insufficient for storage over the winter months, then replacing it before the bad weather comes is essential. Get that leaky roof sorted and invest in a shed that will stand strong through snow, rain and wind.

Fast Delivery: Empire Sheds are notorious for quick delivery and small waiting times for your orders, but with a quieter season, there’s less demand and fewer deliveries, so your shed will arrive in no time.

Potting Sheds for Autumn

Gardeners planning for autumn planting or harvesting will certainly benefit from a potting shed. They’re ideal for nurturing fruit and veg in better growing temperatures and protecting plants from pests and animals. With windows installed to let in lots of light throughout the day but a timber structure to trap in the heat, you’ll watch your garden grow and remain protected throughout autumn.

Buying a Shed for a Home Office or Studio

If you’re ordering a shed or summerhouse with the intention of using it as an office, studio or workshop, then installing it before winter comes is ideal. You can properly insulate and install electricity, ready for those dark, cold mornings and nights. Autumn can be gloomy, but it’s also a season for cosiness, so a garden studio can be a great creative space or relaxing place to reside.

Ditch the morning commute for the office at the end of the garden! Our sheds are ideal for use as offices where you can focus away from distractions. View our blog here to find the best options for your home bureau.
