Construction

This heavy duty shed is constructed from quality timber components. The 12mm tongue and groove shiplap cladding is fitted to a robust 50mm x 50mm frame with diagonal cross bracing for extra strength and stability. The 12mm tongue and groove floor provides a solid, durable base.

All components are smooth-planed for a superior finish. The construction method ensures excellent weather resistance and long-term durability for serious garden storage requirements.

Treatment & Guarantee

The shed is supplied with dip treatment and comes with a reassuring 1-year parts guarantee (excluding roof felt). Wood should be re-treated within 6 weeks of assembly and annually thereafter to protect against rot and maintain appearance.

Consider upgrading to pressure-treated timber for enhanced protection. This extends the anti-rot guarantee to 15 years and includes a FREE upgrade to extra-thick 15mm cladding. Pressure treated timber still requires waterproofing upon assembly and annually.

Doors & Windows

Access is provided by a sturdy ledged and braced door fitted with zinc hinges, a door knob and rim lock to secure valuable equipment. The door can be positioned in various locations to suit your garden layout.

Georgian-style windows with toughened glass provide natural light and ventilation to the interior. Window configurations can be customised, including options to convert fixed windows to opening windows or remove windows entirely.

This wooden shed can be personalised with several optional upgrades:

• Pressure-treated timber (with 15-year guarantee and free 15mm cladding upgrade)
