For your convenience this website has been programmed with the choice of buildings available in every postcode district throughout the United Kingdom. The areas covered include all mainland and offshore addresses throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we know the first half of your postcode - e.g. NW10 or CV23 - all of the buildings available in your local area will be displayed at the correct price. We do not need to know exactly where you live, just your local area.

At the top of every page in our website there is an option to set the delivery postcode - you just need to enter the first half of your postcode - e.g. AB12 - and then click to Save it.

You can also "remember" this setting to save you time when you next visit this website.

If you prefer to wait, you can also enter your postcode details later whenever you are ready.

From left to right, the first letter or pair of letters represents the postcode area. The next characters are normally a number which represents the postcode district within that area. The second half of the postcode starts with a letter which represents the postcode sector. The remaining characters are normally a number which completes the postcode.

In the UK there are 124 postcode areas e.g AB. This consists of 121 UK postcodes and 3 postcodes which apply to the Crown Dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man. The number of postcode areas has not changed for years.

Each postcode area is divided into postcode districts e.g. AB12 and each postcode district is divided into postcode sectors e.g. AB12 1. There were 2,979 postcode districts and 11,232 postcode sectors in April 2022.

There were approximately 1.8 million postcodes in the UK in April 2022 and approximately 30 million individual postal addresses. The approximate number of postcodes has not changed for years.

Each separate postcode usually identifies the address to within 80 properties (with an average of 15 properties per postcode), although large businesses may have a unique code.

The letters in the postcode area may give some clue to its geographical location. For example, BS indicates Bristol, G indicates Glasgow and SW indicates South West London. Although BT indicates Belfast it covers the whole of Northern Ireland.

The postcode is a combination of between five and seven letters and numbers which define four different levels of geographic unit. It is part of a coding system created and used by the Royal Mail across the United Kingdom for the sorting of mail. The postcodes are an abbreviated form of address which enable a group of delivery points (a delivery point being a property or a post box) to be specifically identified. There are two types of postcode, these being large and small user postcodes. A large user postcode is one that has been assigned to a single address due to the large volume of mail received at that address. A small user postcode identifies a group of delivery points.

Each postcode consists of two parts. The first part is the outward postcode, or outcode. This is separated by a single space from the second part which is the inward postcode, or incode. The outward postcode enables mail to be sent to the correct local area for delivery. This part of the code contains the area and the district to which the mail is to be delivered. The inward postcode is used to sort the mail at the local area delivery office. It consists of a numeric character followed by two alphabetic characters. The numeric character identifies the sector within the postal district. The alphabetic characters then define one or more properties within the sector.

The range of product availability within different postcode areas varies across the different product types offered on our website, because some products are easier to deliver than others. The products within our range which are the most affected by postcodes are sheds and summerhouses, with more varied availability. The products which are least affected by postcodes are log cabins, greenhouses, gazebos and garden furniture with more products available in more postcode areas.
