The best way to store your food deliveries – the Veg Box Shed
If you are getting food box deliveries, you may struggle to keep them safe and secure, or cool and fresh for the period between delivery and bringing them inside. We have a storage solution that is perfect for your food deliveries or excess storage; the veg box shed.
This article will give you all the need-to-know information about veg box sheds, including what they are, how they are made, sustainability features, and how they help keep pests away from your food.
What are veg box sheds?
Veg box sheds are a product designed and made by Brighton Bike Sheds to help you organise and store your vegetable or other food deliveries. The veg box sheds are safe and secure and can keep your food deliveries dry until you get home.
They are also useful for those who grow their own vegetables. Our veg box sheds come with two compartments separated by a shelf, which is ideal for storing your self-grown vegetables after harvesting. These handy shelf options can also accommodate two food deliveries at once, which is perfect for those who have multiple deliveries.
How are veg box sheds made?
The range of veg box sheds we sell at Brighton Bike Sheds are available in a choice of sustainable timbers such as Scottish Larch, Pine Slats, Cedar Slats, Pine T&G, Cedar T&G, Charred Scottish Larch, and more.
Our veg box sheds are handcrafted in our Sussex workshop using sustainable materials and safety measures to keep your food safe, cool and dry.
Our veg box shed timber options
Scottish Larch
Fixed with a ‘shadow gap’ profile. Our signature cladding, with natural durability, aesthetics, affordability and sustainability.
Pine Slats
Fixed with 6mm gaps. The effect is architecturally striking, creating a strong light and shade contrast, and fits seamlessly with contemporary garden design.
Cedar Slats
Fixed with 6mm gaps. The tightness of the grain, natural durability and refined appearance make western red cedar an extremely high-quality option.
Pine T&G
Machined profile, this cladding offers a more precise look. This is the option if you intend to paint your cladding, or it can be left to weather to a silver grey.
Cedar T&G
This cladding has a contemporary premium look that enhances any garden. Over time western red cedar will weather to a beautiful silver-grey colour.
Charred Scottish Larch
Our signature cladding with a charred and oiled finish. The charring of the wood offers extra protection as well as an amazing backdrop to planting.
Sustainability features of our veg box sheds
Veg box sheds at Brighton Bike Sheds have a number of features that make them a sustainable choice for their gardens. The materials we use for our sheds are responsibly sourced in the UK, and are certified sustainable materials. We also consider factors such as waste minimisation and environmental care.
The other main feature of our veg box sheds that makes them sustainable is the green roofs that we fit as standard on all of our sheds. Our green roofs act as mini-ecosystems for your garden, with various flower types and room for feeders and wildlife to thrive. When specified with slatted cladding, it provides excellent cross ventilation and the green roof provides insulation, effectively cooling the interior.
Keep pests away from your food with veg box sheds
Our veg box sheds are fitted with security features that keep your food deliveries safe from unwanted visitors and pests. We have various security features that can keep unwanted visitors away from your veg and food deliveries.
Externally, they utilise galvanised T-hinges with tamper-proof screws. Externally we provide a hasp and staple and coded padlock which can either be left undone and the delivery driver can close it, or you can share the code with the veg box company The sheds are covered with layers of timber cladding, shielded by a roof overhang to deter forced entry.
