Torch On Felt is a durable 4mm thick roofing material which is heated and stuck on to the roof.  Torch felt is resistant to storm damage and is much longer lasting than mineral felt.

Mineral Felt is a moderately durable roofing material that is nailed on to roof.

OSB 3 ( Oriented Strand Board ) is used on floor and roof. This product is used extensively by the construction industry and is certified by Irish Board of Agrement.

Felt Lined Walls are standard on all large sheds and optional on small sheds. Felt lining is a barrier against dampness.

Perspex is used on playhouse windows and 6' wide front gables with two windows.

Diffusion Galvanised Nails are used on the exterior, which are 3 times more resistant to corrosion than hot-dipped galvanised nails.

Sidewalls are higher [6’ approx.] and roof framework is stronger than most other garden sheds.

SITE PREPARATION

Plan for base preparation will be forwarded after placement of order or if required the base can be prepared by our erectors on level ground using an alternative method. Ring for details of number of blocks required and cost.

SHED MAINTENANCE

Pressure treatment will prevent decay due to dampness but will not prevent damage such as warping and splitting by the sun. We recommend the exterior be treated with a suitable wood preserver or varnish as soon as possible after installation.
  • Classic finish - Varnish or Quick Drying Woodstain.
  • Rustic finish  – Waterbased wood preservative (Cuprinol Timbercare or Ronseal Fence Life).
  • Joints may need to be resealed at some stage.
Extreme temperatures may cause timber to warp, this is a natural occurrence. When timber dries small knots may fall out, this is also a natural occurrence. The manufacturer is not responsible for warping that may occur.
