Construction & DIY Information
These sheds are designed to be DIY projects, however we also offer a full install service at fixed prices should you prefer someone else to do this for you. Typically a shed of this size would take one of the installers we use *one day*. See shed options for pricing.
The Dover's modular panel design and precut components support a straightforward assembly process for those with good DIY skills. Panels are supplied with treated framing clad in cedar weatherboards, ready to be joined on site. Building paper is pre‑applied, and hardware and fixings are included.
