Roof Type

The eye-catching curved roof design is more than just visually appealing. It’s fitted with 12mm tongue and groove timber and covered with weatherproof felt to provide complete protection against rain and moisture. The decorative diamond-shaped finials add character whilst the slope ensures effective water drainage.

Dimensions

This 8′ x 8′ shed (2.44m x 2.44m) provides a generous footprint suitable for most gardens. The substantial height creates comfortable working space and headroom when inside.

Construction

Every element of this garden shed is built for longevity. The shiplap cladding measures 12mm thick, mounted on a heavy-duty 38mm x 50mm frame that provides excellent structural integrity. The floor uses matching 12mm tongue and groove timber, creating a solid, level surface throughout.

The braced loft area is a particularly clever feature, allowing you to maximise vertical storage without compromising the interior space below.

Treatment & Guarantee

This wooden shed arrives dip-treated for immediate protection. You’ll need to apply further treatment within 6 weeks of assembly, then annually thereafter, to maintain the timber’s condition and appearance.

A 1-year parts guarantee is included with your purchase (excluding roof felt). For greater peace of mind, upgrade to pressure-treated timber—this extends the anti-rot guarantee to 15 years and includes a complimentary upgrade to extra-thick 15mm cladding at no additional cost. Note that pressure-treated timber still requires waterproofing upon assembly and annually.

Doors & Windows

Access is gained through ledged and braced double doors fitted with zinc hinges, a handle and a key-operated lock to keep your tools and equipment secure. The three toughened glass windows (two fixed, one opening) flood the interior with natural light and allow air circulation when needed.

Assembly Information

Please note that specification measurements for cladding, floorboards and framing are nominal before machining. Variations of plus or minus 1mm on cladding and floorboards, and plus or minus 5mm on framing, may occur.

Delivery Information

Free delivery to most UK addresses is included with your order, making this garden storage solution excellent value.

Customise your shed to suit your needs. Available upgrades include converting fixed windows to opening windows, removing windows entirely, a Pro Shed Base Kit, wooden floor bearers, and the pressure-treated timber option mentioned above.
