Garden Sheds
Stix & Stones manufactures robust garden sheds using premium redwood timber, designed for durability and aesthetic appeal. Our sheds are custom-built to fit specific spaces, ideal for storage, workshops, or hobby rooms. All structures comply with planning regulations and are crafted to withstand UK weather conditions.
Summer Houses
Our insulated summer houses provide year-round garden living spaces with double glazing and contemporary designs. Each structure is built to order, offering versatile use as lounges, offices, or entertainment areas. Quality materials ensure longevity, with options for bespoke finishes and eco-friendly base installations.
Beach Huts
Robust beach huts with thick cladding are engineered to withstand harsh coastal environments. Available as flat-pack kits or fully installed units, they feature stylish designs and optional insulation. Customisation includes internal linings and adaptations for garden room conversions.
Bespoke Sheds
Tailored garden buildings designed to meet unique spatial and functional requirements. From narrow urban sheds to large workshops, we offer made-to-measure solutions with expert installation. All bespoke designs adhere to regulatory standards and include planning guidance.

Ideal for home workers seeking dedicated, distraction-free spaces with minimal planning requirements.
Questions
What materials do you use for your garden buildings?
We use sustainably sourced redwood timber for all structures, chosen for its durability and resistance to warping. Additional materials include pressure-treated bearers and 20kg green mineral felt for roofs.
Do you deliver outside Essex and Suffolk?
While we primarily serve Essex and Suffolk, we offer supply-only delivery nationwide. Installation services are limited to our local area due to logistical constraints.
What base preparation is required for shed installation?
A level, hard-standing base such as concrete or flags is required. We recommend using bearers for drainage, with alternative eco-friendly options available to preserve garden permeability.
How long does manufacturing and delivery take?
Lead times typically range from 6 to 12 weeks from order confirmation, as all buildings are made to order with bespoke specifications.
Can I customise my garden building's design?
Yes, all structures are made to order. We accommodate custom dimensions, window/door placements, insulation requirements, and finish options to meet individual needs.
