Garden buildings

What we provide

Our garden sheds and summer houses are versatile, attractive and hardwearing. Whether the shed is used to store garden and home equipment, or used as a Wendy house, we will always offer you the highest quality building tailored with our individual service.

Our customers tend to opt for bespoke summer houses, ensuring they receive the most practical and aesthetically pleasing building possible. These can be built in all sizes and styles, with a variety of window and roof options to choose from.

Garden rooms

A garden room is a fantastic way to give you that extra space without the need for a messy extension. Usually considered as a permitted development, no planning permission is required thus making your garden room much more hassle free. Garden rooms and home offices can be as simple or complex as you require; Georgian windows, cedar shingles, right down to carpet tiles are all available as options to your build.

Chicken Houses

Good housing is essential for keeping your beloved hens healthy and secure. Chicken houses come in different sizes, depending on the size of your flock, and can be bespoke designs to ensure you get exactly what you want.

At Vale Stables, we understand the importance of having a hen house that will protect them against all weathers and more importantly, predators. We believe your hen house is an important investment which will firstly protect your hens, and secondly make looking after them as easy as possible.

The buildings

Our team will provide floor plans so that your builders can lay a concrete base (we can erect on other surfaces – please discuss with our team). We advise that you install one course of semi engineering bricks to the specification of the floor plan provided, this will hold the buildings out of any moisture and prolong its life. If you prefer, we can supply a galvanised steel plinth in place of bricks, or we can place your building straight onto concrete if required.

Our aim is to maintain our long-established reputation for top quality. We use only the best raw materials. We often win work by word of mouth recommendations which is why we always work hard to ensure all our customers are completely happy with the product they have chosen. We believe we can offer you a quality product at great value for money.

All our timber is sourced from Sweden and Siberia. The reason for this is simple; woodland in colder climates is very slow growing, this produces a denser timber with tight growth rings, in turn closer rings reduce shrinkage, twisting and splitting. All our timber is pressure treated with Tanalith ‘E (BS EN 335-1).

Since we first started producing timber buildings we have lined our Onduline roofs with 11 OSB, as we feel this to be essential in any timber building. Many buildings you will see have problems with their roof coverings sagging.  Not only preventing sagging this lining provides incredible strength within the structure. Vale Stables is quite unique in offering this as standard.

Roofing

Onduline roofing can be ordered in black, green, red or brown and as mentioned above is always lined with OSB to prevent sagging and withstand strong winds. If looks are high on your agenda Asphalt shingle is particularly popular.  However top of the range are Cedar shingles which will be the envy of all who see them, and with a lifetime of over 30 years are very reasonable value. Galvanised box profile and P6 Fibre cement are available on request.

We always advise guttering to the front of your garden building, whereas the back is more a matter of preference. Leaf guards are also available if required.
