Smart or Standard: Which Domer shed fits your space?
Start with the space you have and the items you want to store. Domer Smart sheds measure 2.5 m wide by 1.3 m deep outside, with 2.4 m by 1.2 m of space inside. Standard sheds measure 2.5 m wide by 2.5 m deep outside, with 2.4 m by 2.4 m inside. Smart is the shallower option. Standard has the same listed width and twice the listed depth.
Consider Smart when you want a smaller footprint and a lower listed price. Consider Standard when your site can accommodate the deeper footprint. Before deciding, check the usable interior, door opening and installation space for your chosen model.
Browse the Smart garden sheds and Standard garden sheds to compare models, current prices and availability.

The listed price difference is AED 4,300. Prices above are a dated comparison, not a discount offer. Check your selected product and profile for the current price and availability before ordering.
The outside size is the space the shed takes up in your garden. The inside size is the storage space you get. Neither is a base construction drawing. The highest internal point is not the door opening height and does not mean the entire interior has 2.5 m of headroom.
Choose the colour separately from the size
Both sizes use polycarbonate panels and an aluminum frame. Arctic is the white shed option and Slate is the grey shed option. The product pages list Grey profiles for Arctic and Grey or Black profiles for Slate. Profile colour is separate from the shed colour.
Use the product photographs to compare the appearance, allowing for differences caused by lighting, reflections and screen settings.
Check fit before choosing
What size garden shed do I need for bikes and tools?
Choose around the items you plan to store and the room you need to reach them. The listed Smart and Standard footprints are a starting point, not a guarantee of usable storage space.
How can I check the storage layout?
Measure your bikes, mower and other bulky items, including handlebars, wheels and handles. Once Domer has confirmed the usable internal width and depth, mark that space on the ground with tape and try your planned layout. Leave room to move items in and out, not just to park them. Include space for any freestanding shelves or storage boxes.
Will my items fit through the doors?
Check the clear door opening width and height against your largest item. Also check the threshold, the space needed to turn the item and the room for the doors to open. The shed’s highest internal point is not its door opening height.
What else should I measure before ordering?
Measure the proposed location and note walls, fences, planting and other obstacles. Check gates, turns, steps and restrictions along the delivery route. Confirm the required base dimensions, anchoring arrangement and installation clearances with Domer for your exact model and site before arranging groundwork.
Read How to Prepare a Base for Your Garden Shed for the checks to make before work begins.
Plan for delivery and assembly
Shed components and fixings, free initial delivery and professional assembly within the UAE are included. Installation takes place on the day of delivery. The delivery estimate is 3 to 5 business days from order confirmation, subject to scheduling. The team contacts you to coordinate the arrangements.
Base preparation is not included. You are responsible for having a solid, level base ready before delivery and providing clear access to the installation area. Tell Domer about community rules, restricted access or permitted delivery times in advance.
Review the full Shipping & Returns terms before ordering. The sheds carry a 10 year limited Domer warranty for parts only. It does not include warranty transport, site visits or labour. Read the warranty terms and exclusions in our FAQs for the full coverage and claim process.
Thinking about an extension?
The DOMER Extension Module is listed in Arctic and Slate and adds 1.2 m in length. It is sold separately from the shed. Check its current price and availability, and confirm the complete configuration, base and access requirements with Domer before planning an extension.
