Sheds and Greenhouses

Quality of build

As mentioned above we offer a variety of build qualities, this reflects on the strength and durability of the shed or workshop. A few points to note as you peruse our ranges (and may be ask what the difference implications are)-

• The framework is the backbone of the building - the bigger the framework, the stronger the building.
• There are 2 main external claddings, featheredge (sometimes called weatherboard) and shiplap. Weatherboard is the cheaper of the two and is a rough triangulated sawn board, each plank is overlapped over the previous board to make it waterproof. Shiplap, however, is a planed board which has an interlocking joint such that it is not only waterproof but also draft proof, normally making a better building.
• The roof and floor can be made with (in order of preference) solid tongue and grooved timber, OSB strand board or moisture resistent strand board.
• The doors can be framed, ledged and braced, ledged and braced or just ledged (be careful with ledged on ly doors as they tend to drop after a period of time)
• Windows can be toughened glass, float glass or acrylic/perspex.
