Roof Type

The apex roof design sheds water effectively and maximises internal headroom. Constructed from 12mm tongue and groove timber with mineral felt covering for superior weatherproofing, this wooden shed will protect your stored items year-round.

The shed measures 2490mm (w) x 2440mm (d) x 2440mm (h), providing ample space for garden equipment, tools and leisure activities. The 8 x 8 size strikes a balance between usable interior space and fitting neatly into most gardens.

Construction

Premium timber construction ensures longevity and reliability. The 12mm tongue and groove shiplap cladding interlocks seamlessly to resist weather and provide excellent insulation. All components work together to create a weathertight, robust structure that maintains its appearance over time. The smooth-planed finish adds visual appeal to any garden setting.

Treatment & Guarantee

This shed arrives dip-treated but must be re-treated within 6 weeks of assembly and annually thereafter to maintain protection against rot and weathering. A 1-year parts guarantee comes as standard.

Upgrade to pressure-treated timber for enhanced durability. This extends the anti-rot guarantee to 15 years and includes a FREE upgrade to extra-thick 15mm cladding. Please note that pressure-treated timber still requires waterproofing upon assembly and annually.

Doors & Windows

The ledged and braced single door features zinc hinges, a door knob and rim lock for security. The door position is flexible and can be fitted in various locations depending on your garden layout. Georgian-style windows (comprising 2 fixed and 1 opening window) allow plenty of natural light to flood the interior, creating a bright and welcoming workspace.

• Extra-wide door
• Stable-style door
• Double doors (ideal for larger equipment access)
