6’ x 7’ Yardmaster Castleton Anthracite Metal Shed (2.02m x 2.17m)

Overview

The Yardmaster Castleton range is finished in a dark anthracite grey that suits more contemporary gardens than the traditional green most metal sheds come in. This 6′ x 7′ model is priced at £389.99, reduced to £289.99, and gives you a deeper than average footprint for the width.

This 6′ x 7′ metal shed is built from galvanised steel panels finished in a anthracite powder coating, giving you a building that will not rot, warp or need repainting the way a timber shed can. The anthracite powder coating resists fading well in direct sun, so the colour stays consistent even after a few summers outdoors.

Key Features

• Galvanised steel panels for a rust resistant, low maintenance build
• Anthracite powder coated finish that will not need repainting
• Reinforced steel frame for added strength in windy conditions
• Wide doors for easy access
• No wood to rot, warp or require annual treatment

Roof Types

The apex roof rises to a central ridge on this model, which sheds rainwater quickly to either side and gives a little extra headroom under the peak. Metal sheds of this kind do not need re-felting the way a timber shed does, since the roof panels share the same rust resistant coating as the walls.

Dimensions

• Overall size: 6′ x 7′ (2.02m x 2.17m)
• Steel floor frame included as standard
• Panels are pre-formed for a straightforward build
• Compact footprint suited to smaller gardens and side passages

Construction

The shed is built from galvanised steel sheet, pressed and folded for strength, then finished with a baked-on powder coating in anthracite. The galvanising protects the steel itself and the powder coat protects the surface finish, so there is no timber frame for damp, woodworm or rot to take hold of.

Treatment & Guarantee

Because the shed is metal rather than timber, there is no pressure treatment or re-staining to think about. The galvanised steel and powder coated finish are designed to resist rust and fading, and the panels are ready to use straight from the pack.

Doors & Windows / Security

Access is through the shed’s steel doors, fitted with a lockable handle so you can secure it with your own padlock. This is a windowless design, keeping the contents out of view and a sensible option if you are storing items you would rather keep private.

Assembly Information

The shed is supplied flat packed with pre-drilled steel panels, fixings and a full instruction manual. Two people and a few hours is usually enough to bolt the panels together, and a cordless screwdriver and spirit level help keep the build square.

Delivery Information

Delivery is made kerbside on a pallet, which will need two people to move. Inspect the packaging for damage before you sign for it, and keep the panels dry until you are ready to build.

Optional Upgrades

An anchor kit is a sensible addition in exposed or windy gardens. Additional padlocks and internal shelving are also available separately to make the most of the space inside.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the shed rust? The galvanised steel and powder coated finish resist rust, though it is worth touching up any scratches from assembly.

What base do I need? A flat, level, solid base such as concrete or paving slabs keeps the steel floor frame square.

Is it noisy in the rain? It can sound louder than a timber shed in heavy rain, though this is a sound difference only and does not affect weatherproofing.
