Treatment & Guarantee

Your shed is delivered dip-treated with a reassuring 1-year parts guarantee (excluding roof felt). You should retreat the wood with a high-quality preservative within 6 weeks of assembly and annually thereafter to maintain protection from rot.

For enhanced protection, upgrade to pressure-treated timber and receive a superb 15-year anti-rot guarantee with no re-treatment required. We’ll also fit your shed with superior 15mm cladding at no extra cost. Please note that waterproofing is still required within one month of assembly and annually for pressure-treated sheds.

The three toughened glass windows comprise two fixed units and one opening window, providing excellent natural light and ventilation options. If required, you can upgrade fixed windows to opening windows for greater air flow control.
