Timber Garden Buildings Sheds

What Timber Garden Buildings Sheds does

TGB Sheds is a UK-based manufacturer of timber garden buildings, founded in January 2007 by Graham Vernon (Managing Director) and Richard Firth (Production Director) and headquartered in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. The company produces a comprehensive product portfolio spanning sheds (standard, superior, heavy duty, security, Rhino, potting, and corner variants), summerhouses (Georgian, leaded, corner, octagonal, and home-office designs), playhouses, storage units, kennels, animal housing, and bespoke buildings, alongside a Tanalised product line built around Tanalised E pressure-treated timber for enhanced fungal and insect resistance. Manufacturing relies on tongue-and-grooved timber construction, water-based ECO-friendly treatment processes, and chain-of-custody-certified timber suppliers with FSC certification available on request (FSC-C117869). The business operates a B2B trade-only model, supplying exclusively to a network of approved trade stockists who receive territorial exclusivity in their respective geographic areas, with end consumers directed to their nearest stockist; the company does not sell directly to consumers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled stockist-by-stockist, with bespoke sizing and specification handled through the agent channel. Marketing is concentrated on the annual GLEE trade exhibition at Birmingham NEC, the company's own website, press advertising, and a regional sponsorship of Rotherham United FC, with no disclosed revenue, funding, M&A, or international expansion.
