This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Power Sheds, also known as Power®, is a British manufacturer of sheds. Founded in 2019, the company is based in Bradford, West Yorkshire.^[1]

It primarily sells wooden garden buildings, including sheds and summer houses. In 2023, the company reported projected revenues of over £15 million.^[2]

History[edit]

Power Sheds was founded in 2019 by Jack Sutcliffe and Simon Hobson as Power Sheds Limited. It is headquartered in Euroway Industrial Estate, Bradford, where all its products are manufactured.^[3]

In the first month of trading, Power Sheds sold 15 garden sheds, a number that rose to over 500 a week on average by 2023.^[4] The workforce also grew by 143% in 2021.^[5]

Power Sheds announced plans to expand the business into Europe in 2019, after receiving a £6,000 AD:VENTURE Business Support grant, funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).^[6]

In August 2022, forestry business BSW Group (a member of Binderholz) acquired a stake in Power Sheds.^[7]

Products[edit]

Power Sheds manufactures and sells wooden garden structures including sheds, summer houses and log cabins. The company also sells additional garden furniture such as decking, gazebos, and pergolas.^[8]

Power Sheds has developed a pallet that forms the base of all sheds produced. These panels are flat-packed and sold to customers for self-assembly. On receiving the AD:VENTURE grant, Power Sheds purchased an automated saw designed to measure timber to the exact length to speed up manufacturing times.^[9]
