Metal Garden Storage

Metal garden storage covers the galvanised steel, powder-coated aluminium and similar metal-construction garden boxes, sheds and tool stores: rust-resistant alternatives to wooden storage that don't need annual treatment. Aosom UK, Buy Sheds Direct and Cherry Lane Garden Centres between them stock 260+ metal garden storage products covering £18-£1,266. The compromise is condensation. Warm summer air against cooler metal walls produces drips inside, so look for vapour-barrier kits, vented panels, and roof venting. Wall gauge varies: 0.4mm steel is budget-tier and dents under hard knocks; 0.5mm and 0.6mm are longer-life builds. Powder-coated aluminium adds rust resistance but adds £100-£300 to the price. Most metal garden storage units suit shaded sites; full south-facing sun heats the interior 10-15 degrees above ambient on summer afternoons. The grid below filters by size, gauge and material.
