Description

The 4 x 2 Shiplap Storage Box from Shire will give you a handy extra storage space for your garden, decking, patio, terrace or balcony in a neat package. Its compact size means it will be a perfect fit for almost any outdoor space, especially in smaller gardens or narrow passageways, and is ideal for adding that little extra room for storing items when your existing storage spaces are full to bursting. Whether you need the room for kid’s outdoor toys or just to store an array of garden and DIY tools, this storage box gives you a cost-effective way to solve storage problems in your home. Many of our customers like to personalise their storage boxes and we are confident that yours will look great in any colour. Shire recommends you use Protek Paint, available to purchase from elbec in a wide variety of colours. Whether you love a natural, wood stained look or perhaps more bold, bright colours, Protek has a colour to suit any taste.

Features

Constructed from 12mm shiplap tongue and groove cladding, the contents of your storage box are certain to remain sealed away from the elements. It also features a robust oriented strand board (OSB) roof and floor which gives plenty of protection from rot, damp and the weather. The heavy duty green mineral roofing felt that is supplied as standard also helps ensure that the interior is weatherproofed and that rot is avoided. But this storage box really gets its strength and sturdy construction from its robust 34x34mm framing and 34x34mm floor joists, ensuring that it has a high load capacity and that the whole package will stand up to the test of time. The storage box also features a wire hasp which can be padlocked (padlock not included) so you can leave items secured inside. Plus, with a 10 year anti-rot guarantee, you can be certain that a Shire Shiplap Storage Box will be a feature of your outdoor space for years to come.

About the Timber

You will be impressed by Shire's use of natural products and their environmental credentials. A high quality timber product starts with high quality timber, so it is important to know exactly what timber is being used. The most commonly used timber for garden buildings is pine (pinus) as this is widely available for a very cheap price, however all of Shire's wooden garden products are constructed using high quality spruce (picea) and is sourced from Scandinavia under strict FSC guidance. Spruce is more durable than pine and provides a higher quality finish. This timber is slow grown unlike fast grown British and Eastern Europe's timber, being slow grown timber means a tighter grain, less sap and with far fewer knots. The timber used on Shire's products is therefore a more durable timber that will last much longer than other timbers. Spruce is therefore the timber of choice for companies such as Shire who always look to produce the best garden building.

This storage box is supplied pre-treated with a base coat to both sides in a golden brown water based industrial product (colour can vary from the picture shown). Shire recommends that you apply a water based top coat. This will protect the timber from weathering on your shed making it last longer and will need to be repeated accordingly in relation to the manufacturer's instructions.
