planning your tool tidy

Getting your tool tidy right

What you’ll store

List everything that needs to go into the cabinet, from spades and forks to golf clubs and fishing rods. The long-handled tools need height, so we will size the tool tidy to fit.

One door or two

A single door is suitable for narrow tool tidy sheds, but a wider shed such as our 8×4 would benefit from having two doors so you can reach everything easily.

Small spaces

Tool tidys are ideal for very small spaces and also for areas such as sheltered accommodation. We can make them to fit an exact gap, as small as 4′ x 30″.

Add a log store

If you use a wood burner, we can combine a tool tidy with a log store within the overall building dimensions.

Built my shed to awkward measurements, with no fuss, Simon or Jake offered all the help I needed to get exactly what I wanted. They were on time and erected the great quality shed, I’m very happy with the company, having already recommended them.

FAQs

Tool tidy questions

Most are between 5×2 and 8×4, but we make them to fit, from 4′ x 30″ up to 14×3.

Yes. Tool tidys are especially good for older people in sheltered accommodation, where space is limited.

Yes. We’ve built combined tool tidys and log stores.

We don’t do groundwork, but we can give you the names of local companies who can lay the base. We can also supply timber bearers to go under the building so air can circulate. It is the customer’s responsibility to make sure the base is suitably built, level and in the right position.

We deliver and install within a 50-mile radius of our Gloucester workshop. Delivery and installation is free within 3 miles of Hempsted, then £1 per mile one way up to 50 miles.

Full details, including charges and what to prepare, are on our delivery page.

Every building is quoted to your own size and specification, so we don’t list prices. Call us on 01452 314011 or send us your measurements and we’ll get back to you with a price.

Because everything is custom-made there is a waiting list, so please allow for this when you plan your order. We’ll tell you the current wait when we quote.

We don’t have a showroom, but there’s a standard 7′ x 5′ apex shed on display outside our workshop that you can look at during working hours. You’re also welcome to see the buildings we’re making in the workshop, look at the materials and ask questions.

Yes. Every building is treated with our own water-based treatment, which isn’t harmful to plants, animals or children. We recommend re-treating it within 6 months of it going up, then once a year.

We aim to deliver and put up buildings between 9am and 12 noon, Monday to Saturday, but we can be flexible to suit you.

Would recommend in a heartbeat. Neil and his team provided a top quality shed and outstanding service at a competitive price. Communication was excellent with the shed being delivered on time after a call confirming that they were on their way. Fully constructed in about an hour. Don’t hesitate to use Mastersheds.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the excellent service I received. From ordering the shed through to delivery and installation, everything was easy, efficient, and very professional. The two men who came today to erect the shed were absolutely fantastic. They were friendly, hardworking, and did an excellent job. The shed itself is first class, and I am absolutely thrilled with it. The quality is outstanding, and the attention to detail is exceptional. It has exceeded my expectations in every way. Thank you all so much for such a positive experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Master Sheds to others.

Cannot fault! Arrived when they said they would; polite and friendly: had the shed up and finished in under an hour (1/2 an hour quicker then they estimated and in 30C heat as well). Very happy with the quality of the finished shed. Always nice to be able to give a positive shout out to a local business. Highly recommended.

We purchased our shed from Mastersheds last year and would highly recommend them. We felt we had that personal touch that you wouldn't get from big named companies. The shed is strong and sturdy and didn't take them long to install. Professional, friendly and reliable 👌

7x5 shed. Excellent product. Really well designed and made to be easy to construct. Very solid. My wife and I constructed it easily in about 5 hours. Mastershed delivered our shed only 5 days after we ordered it!! Top tip: to avoid long delivery delays choose to construct it yourself instead of getting them to install it.
