Acomb Sawmill, Hexham. Est. 1960
A family run business since 1960. Every building is bespoke and made to measure in our own workshop, in FSC® certified Scandinavian Redwood, and built to stand up to the northern weather.
“If its not handmade… Its not Hendersons!”
Our products are not mass produced but all individually handcrafted, from sustainable timber sources.
From our workshop
Hendersons is a family run business built on quality, established in 1960. We started out in agricultural and domestic fencing, and over the years moved into making Sheds, Summer Houses, Log Stores, Garden Furniture, Dog Kennels and Hen Houses, plus many other bespoke items.
Today we concentrate on Sheds, Summer Houses and Log Stores. All products are handmade in our workshops from sustainable timber sources. Designs are traditional and strongly made, well able to withstand the rigours of our northern weather. Made from Redwood Timber and assembled with Stainless Steel Screws, Nails and Bolts.
Arched bargeboard, finial and diamond window: built the Hendersons way.
Sheds
Henderson’s have been manufacturing high quality Sheds and Summer Houses for over 30 years. Tell us the size you need and we’ll make it to measure.
Summer Houses
Pent roof or apex roof, painted in Cuprinol Garden Shades or treated with Ronseal Total Wood Preserver: every summer house is bespoke and made to measure, with the same Redwood and the same bolted construction as our sheds.
Log Stores & Garden Stores
Alongside sheds and summer houses we make Log Stores and Garden Stores, plus the odd play house and obelisk. Here are some of the designs we’re known for. Each one is handmade, and sizes can be made to suit.

How we build
A shed is only as good as what holds it together. These are the things that go into every Hendersons building before it leaves our workshop.
FSC® certified Scandinavian Redwood for the cladding, flooring and framing.
Complete with internal diagonal bracing, and a roof truss in apex roofs where needed.
Sections are fixed with Coach Bolts, and the cladding is attached with stainless steel nails.
‘Z’ braced T&G doors hung on Heavy Galvanised Tee Hinges, with a Pad Bolt.
Kitemark Toughened Glass as standard on our summer houses, and every building treated externally with Ronseal Total Wood Preserver or Cuprinol Garden Shades.
Our Story
Hendersons began in agricultural and domestic fencing. From there the workshop at Acomb Sawmill moved into garden buildings, and today we concentrate on sheds, summer houses and log stores.
We’re still family run, and still at Acomb, just across the Tyne from Hexham. Every building we make is handmade here, one at a time.
