A fire crew from Tettenhall was called to the blaze involving the wooden sheds at 6.10pm on Wednesday night.
It was at Perton Court Cottage off Pattingham Road in Wightwick.
Crews used cutting tools to get to the fire, which was put out at 7.20pm.

The crew left the scene at 7.40pm.
The cause of the fire was arson and police were called to the scene.
The cottage sold on the market for £490,000 last year, according to Zoopla.
