Description

The 8 x 7 Biohort AvantGarde A5 garden shed with double doors gives owners a lifetime of satisfaction with its highly durable construction, using polyamide-coated galvanised steel plate. As part of elbec's premium range of garden buildings, the AvantGarde delivers the best in style and function. Any visitor to your garden will be drawn towards the unique front-facing skylight below the pent roof of this shed, as well as the crisp vertical lines of its steel walls. Inside, the 8 x 7 AvantGarde has all the space needed to stow away many items. The double doors fitted to this model make transferring these items to your storage space even easier, with all the comfort that comes with soft-closing doors with spring dampers and external wind hooks to keep them open when using your shed.

This shed is available in several metallic shades, using a polyamide coating that will be applied to your shed prior to delivery and provides a protective seal to your shed in future years. Choose from any of the attractive Silver, Quartz Grey, and Dark Grey metallic colours depending on your tastes and the kind of visual impact you want to create. All interiors are grey-white as standard, making the most of the light from the multi-panelled acrylic window.

Features

The many features included in the 8 x 7 AvantGarde A5's design make it a pleasure to use in daily life. For example, a variety of ways to organise items within the shed are included and integrate well into the overall structure. Two shelves mounted on support rails can each hold up to 15 kg of items. Two tool holders fit inside the double doors and four more tool hangers are perfect for suspending longer tools like spades or hoses from the wall. These are all easy to install upon assembling your AvantGarde and make the shed immediately usable in ridding your garden of clutter.

In contrast to the weaker materials used in most garden sheds on the market, the benefits of a storage building with a galvanised steel construction will continue to be felt for many years. Unlike timber sheds, the AvantGarde will never warp, rot, split, or be damaged in stormy weather. The steel plate used throughout the AvantGarde's roof and walls has been hot-dip galvanised in molten zinc before receiving a polyamide finish in your chosen metallic colour for the outside. The interior has a grey-white polyamide finish to provide the inside of your shed with a light and airy atmosphere, making the most of the sunlight from the high window. These processes make the steel used in the AvantGarde extremely robust and resistant to wear and corrosion.

The polyamide finish of this shed is so resilient against wear that Biohort boldly offers a 20-year guarantee against damage from corrosion. With such care taken to create a strong starting point for the AvantGarde, it is no surprise that this shed can stand up to extreme wind speeds of up to 93mph and hold off at least 150kg of snowfall per square metre.

If security of your stored items is any concern, you will be pleased to know that the doors of the AvantGarde A5 are lockable by key. The 3-way locking system is extremely robust and backs up the strong steel construction of the doors and surrounding panels. A spare key is also included. In this double door option of the AvantGarde A5, the additional left side door features a twist knob lock to ensure both doors stay secure when needed.

Letting water drain away or creating a sustainable irrigation system with the excess water that accumulates on the roof of the AvantGarde during rain showers is easy. This is thanks to the built-in gutter with two end connectors that fit 5/4 inch hoses or the optional rainwater downpipes.

Accessories

A wide range of accessories are on offer, each designed by Biohort to be used with the AvantGarde and offering a new use to the garden shed. Many enjoy the space-saving potential of the BikeMax Bicycle Holder, which allows you to store bikes in a vertical position on a wall of their shed. Meanwhile, keen gardeners who want to increase storage potential for items like tools, plant pots, or compost bags might find that an additional Shelf Set or Tool Hangers are a great way to achieve this. When the sun goes down, replace the light normally provided to your AvantGarde by its skylight with an LED lamp that is powered by rechargeable batteries (charger included) and even has an optional motion sensor setting.

Explore these and more among the options with your purchase to create a garden building that suits your specific needs.
