For a garden shed containing tools, we would usually recommend a CEN Grade 3 padlock as a starting point.
The rest of the locking setup matters too. A strong padlock fitted to a weak or poorly fixed hasp can still leave the shed vulnerable, so make sure both are suitable for the level of security you need.
