Brief – A playhouse with added height and extra windows, something to last the kids for years to come or a great storage area when the kids grow out of it. Include places to store outdoor toys, protecting them from the elements.

    Lovely reviews
    from happy customers!

    Very happy with new shed from Paterson Garden Buildings. Gary was interested in delivering what I needed, from laying the right foundation through to the shed dimensions, and was very accommodating to adapt shed to bespoke height requirements. Great communication from Danielle and a very fast turnaround from ordering to shed set up (less than 2 weeks!). Would recommend.

    Niall Henderson

    Absolutely fantastic service from everyone in the team here! We needed an outdoor studio and did not know where to start. Thankfully we came across Paterson's. We sat down and worked out what would be best for us and Gary came to do a quote and then next thing we knew it was finished! The build all happened within a couple of days, and you would never know that they were doing such a huge job, everything was left clean and tidy. They even got rid of two bushes for us! 5* service from start to finish!

    Lauren Saunders

    Staff were professional, knowledgeable, skilled and reliable. They did the whole job from foundations to electrical. They left the place clean and tidy every night. Very happy with the final product and have used it every day since. The build quality will mean it last for years and the insulation means it will still be used in the winter.

    Elspeth Petrie

    Just had out timber garage built and erected by Gary and his team, best quality timber buildings I've seen ,well worth the cost. Waited a couple of months from order but we were kept well informed of progress. Work was carried out on the dates given and site left clean and tidy. Can't fault Paterson Garden Buildings in anyway, everyone we met or spoke to were very helpful & pleasant. I will definitely use their services in the future.

    Iain Fraser

    Customer experience and build quality couldn't be better. "Sitootery" competes our garden beautifully and every element is as specified by us. We have no hesitation in recommending Paterson's.

    Ewart McAuslane

    I've owned a Paterson shed for just over twenty years now and it has been great, but two or three of the planks recently showed signs of needing to be replaced. A visit to Paterson and they cut me four planks to size. I'll get them fitted and hopefully my shed will be going for another 20 years. Great service and very helpful.

    Outdoor living has never been more exciting!

    Picture it; peace to drink your cup of tea while it’s still hot because the wee ones are more than happy to entertain themselves, making up stories in their playhouse or clambering along the climbing frame.

    Sure, this product benefits your kids… but we think you’ll reap the benefits too!
