Why We Build Sheds Differently

Our first shed lasted two winters before the base gave way and the door stopped closing properly. Tools rusted, the felt roof split, and replacing it meant choosing between a resin shed that flexed and cracked in a strong wind, or a steel model priced like a small car and sold through a showroom we'd only ever visit once.

Ketora exists to close that gap. We buy galvanised steel direct from a UK manufacturer rather than through a chain of distributors, which is how we hold prices well below the garden centre without cutting the gauge of the metal. Every shed ships flat-packed with numbered panels and a torque-set of bolts, so it goes up in an afternoon rather than eating a weekend. We check every size against permitted development limits before it's listed, and every panel and seam carries a ten-year guarantee against rust and rot.

We still build one of each new model in our own gardens before it goes on the site. If it doesn't keep the rain out through our own winter, it doesn't go up for sale.
