Description

The 8 x 10 Shiplap Workshop Shed from Forest is a fantastic way to add loads of storage space to your garden, or an excellent place from which to work from home. This is in a package that offers excellent value for money given the quality of its construction and its excellent features. With wide opening double doors, easy access is offered when taking even the largest items in and out of your workshop shed. This is a valuable feature and makes storing bulky items, such as garden furniture, or getting a large workbench inside a breeze. With a 12mm thick boarded floor, you can also be certain that your workshop shed will stand up to having heavy loads stored inside.

The Shiplap Workshop Shed also has four windows that let in plenty of natural light, making it ideal for home workshop use or for use as a hobby room during the day. The polycarbonate glazing of the windows is also virtually unbreakable, an excellent safety feature, and each window is fixed with security screws. The timber is cut into shiplap tongue and groove panels. This means that each board fits together and forms a seal which offers fantastic protection from the elements for items stored inside. This is all fixed to robust 28mm framing and thick roof battens to make the building extra-sturdy. The timber used is FSC certified and only comes from sustainable sources. The attractive apex roof is constructed from a strong sheet board (OSB) which is designed to stand up to the worst of the British weather. The Workshop Shed is also supplied with a weatherproof felted roof made from durable sheet material for added protection from the elements.

The doors feature safe and secure hidden hinges and have a plate hasp and staple latch to which you can attach your own padlock to secure the contents of your shed. The doors are sturdy and ‘Z’ braced for added security. The shed is designed to be straightforward to construct, with comprehensive instructions included. However, you can choose to have our professional team of fitters construct your shed if you prefer. Finally, an attractive, smooth planed finial and barge boards complete the shed and ensure it will look great in your garden.

Treating your building

The timber is dip treated and guaranteed against rot for 10 years, provided that the shed is isolated from ground contact and is regularly retreated with timber preservative.
