Frequently Asked Questions About BBQ Sheds
What is a BBQ shed?
A BBQ shed is a purpose-built timber outbuilding designed to house a barbecue or outdoor cooking setup. Unlike a standard garden shed, BBQ sheds typically feature open fronts or serving hatches, ventilation for safe cooking, and a robust construction to withstand the heat and weather conditions of outdoor cooking.
Are BBQ sheds safe to use with a gas or charcoal barbecue?
Yes, when used correctly. Our BBQ sheds are designed with ventilation in mind. Always ensure adequate airflow when using gas or charcoal barbecues, never use a BBQ shed as a fully enclosed space during cooking, and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for your specific barbecue model.
Do BBQ sheds come with a serving hatch?
Many of our BBQ sheds include a serving hatch as standard or as an optional upgrade. A serving hatch allows you to pass food and drinks directly to guests without leaving the cooking area, making outdoor entertaining much more practical.
What size BBQ shed do I need?
The right size depends on your barbecue dimensions and how much workspace you need. As a minimum, allow enough room for your BBQ plus at least 60cm of clearance on each side for safe operation. If you plan to store accessories, fuel, and cooking equipment inside, opt for a larger model with additional storage space.
Can I use a BBQ shed in winter in the UK?
Yes. Our BBQ sheds are constructed from pressure-treated timber with weatherproof roofing, making them suitable for year-round use in the UK. The covered structure protects your barbecue from rain and frost, extending its lifespan and allowing you to cook outdoors even in colder months.
Do I need planning permission for a BBQ shed?
In most cases, BBQ sheds fall under Permitted Development rights in the UK, provided they are single-storey, do not exceed the permitted height limits, and do not cover more than 50% of the garden. We recommend checking with your local planning authority before installation.
How do I maintain a BBQ shed?
Our BBQ sheds are made from pressure-treated timber which is highly resistant to rot and decay. We recommend applying a wood treatment or stain every 1–2 years, checking the roof annually for any damage, and cleaning the interior regularly to remove grease and food residue from cooking.

Yes, we offer free UK delivery on all BBQ sheds in our range. Please check the individual product page for estimated lead times and delivery details.
