Description

If you are finding that you have no room for your gardening tools, or that your old shed is not as reliable as it once was, this convenient and durable 7 x 5 garden shed might be perfect for you. Whether it is for your garden or for your allotment, once you have your new garden shed in place you will soon find you have more garden storage space than you know what to do with! The shiplap profile of the walls of this wooden shed are what makes it such a great value shed. If you compare it to other sheds of the same size and price, you will find that it offers much higher quality and will last much longer. If you are looking for a compact storage shed, there really is no better option.

The fact it is a Shire shed means you can be assured of top grade shed timber . Shire only source timber from Scandinavia and Siberia where the best timber for sheds is produced. The timber is tight grained producing less sap and is therefore a more durable timber than the faster growing timber used by other shed manufacturers.

Walls - The shiplap profile allows efficient run off of water and helps keep the shed nice and dry inside, while the tongue and groove construction helps to minimise draughts.

Door - A hasp and staple (padlock not supplied) is supplied for security.

Floor - Manufactured from high quality 12mm planed tongue and groove matching pattern boarding.

Roof - The roof of the shed are constructed from water resistant Oriented Strand board (OSB) with has similar properties to plywood. OSB is a high quality 'Solid Sheet Board'.  The shed floor also comes with floor joists giving the shed a solid sturdy feel and greater load capacity.

Windows - All shed windows are glazed with horticultural glass. The windows allow plenty of light to flood into the shed and can be fitted to either side.

Treatment: All Shire garden buildings are 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 the manufacturer recommends that you apply a water based top coat of your choice. 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.

Supplied flat packed for ease of handling and assembly. All fittings and felt are included in the price with clear easy to follow instructions. If you do not want to install yourself you can opt for our handy assembly service
