Description

Looking for an affordable but high quality medium to large shed with plenty of space inside? Look no further than the 10 x 7 Guernsey Shed from Shire. With quality features that include first-class timber, thick and sturdy wall cladding, a robust framework, a tongue and groove floor and shiplap tongue and groove cladding, what more could you possibly need from a shed to assure you it will last for years to come? Whether you have garden furniture, tools, a lawnmower, kids’ toys or simply have existing storage spaces that are bursting at the seams, the Guernsey will provide a fantastic expansion on your current storage. With plenty of space inside, you will be impressed by how much extra room it will give you for storage.

Plus, the Guernsey’s spaciousness and generous roof height also makes it suitable for use as a home workshop. When you also take into account the two opening windows that are included as part of the package, this provides you with an interior is bright and airy, ensuring that it is ideal for workshop use. You can also rest assured that the Guernsey will look great in your garden, wherever you situate it. Its attractive apex roof and charming, Georgian-style 'crossed' glazed windows add extra character to the shed’s pleasing exterior. Finally, the Guernsey’s sleek and smart tongue and groove timber finish completes what is a really good-looking garden shed. 

Features

The Guernsey gets its strength and durability from its 34mm x 34mm framework, which is sometimes as much as 20% thicker than the framing on similar products from other manufacturers in this price bracket. The Guernsey also includes a 12mm tongue and groove floor as standard. This is another quality feature that is seldom found on sheds of this price and ensures you have a shed floor that has an impressive load capacity.

The Guernsey boasts a high quality, 12mm thick shiplap tongue and groove construction. On shiplap tongue and groove sheds, the individual boards close together tightly. This gives the building great strength and the interior fantastic protection from the elements by encouraging water run off.

The shed’s two opening windows are glazed with horticultural glass for a clearer pane and long lasting clarity. This is another selling point of the Guernsey as many other sheds that are this affordable will use Perspex or a similar material, which often dulls over time. Plus, the windows have a unique profiled 'lip' that covers the opening in the panel which adds further weather resistance. The windows have two levels of opening and they can be located anywhere on the side elevations of your shed to suit your needs.

Its roof is made from 8mm oriented strand board, (OSB) a robust material that is weather resistant. Mineral roofing felt is also included to add to the shed’s weather resistance and provide protection against damp and rot.

Wide opening double doors allow easy access when taking items in and out of the Guernsey and they are ledged for additional strength. A padbolt, to which you can attach a padlock, (padlock not supplied) is also included to provide security for valuables stored inside the shed. This range of fantastic features demonstrates why so many choose the Guernsey for their gardens.

About the Timber

You will be impressed by Shire's use of natural products and their environmental credentials. A high quality timber shed 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 garden buildings are constructed using high quality spruce (picea) and is sourced from sustainably sourced timber. 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.

About Shire

"Easy purchase on line and great… Easy purchase on line and great delivery service, Thanks"

By Michael beautyman on 3rd June 2017

"I would like to say a big thanks and quality of this shed.probably like everyone do a tone load of research before buying a shed and to find a reasonable price shed for good quality is hard to come by. I really recommend this shed. Comes with a few extra wood piece and window frames to hold glass in as well.my only negative is the felt nails are just to small so had to buy some 10-12mm felt nails to make it easier as the nails provided don't really do the job to well .but very happy.overall and a big thank you . "

By Mr A Jarvis on 19th December 2016

"Garden shed We were very satisfied with the shed that we brought from you from the start of ordering and the delivering of the shed could not fault the the corporation that you provided "

By Mr Simon Chilcott on 18th March 2015

"7x10 shed: I was very very impressed with the quality and the instructions where easy to follow. Would i use them again? to damn right i would :) would i recommend them? Absolutely and have done so in the pass and will do so in the future. they get top marks from me *****"

"Very pleased with it: Just wanted to say, thank you very much for my shed order. Very pleased with it, particularly with the prompt response and delivery of the replacement glass. Excellent service and I will be recommending you further. Chris Hurrell"

By Mr B Davies on 6th October 2014

"Received with care: I bought this shed from elbec and how easy was it. Just placed the order, got told when it would arrive and there you are. The delivery driver removed the different parts of the truck and carefully placed them where I wanted them. The instructions were clear and it took me no time to put it together. It is great for all the garden stuff that has been littering the garage and 'getting' lost."

By Mr Phillip Metcalf on 11th December 2013

"Exceeded expectations: There are some not so good reviews out there - mainly re Shire customer service, so I ordered with some trepidation. I should not have worried. The shed was delivered on time and to my door. The driver was OK and delivered to my kerbside but no more. All the pieces are light enough for 1 person to move. The shed kit was all there to the last nail, the instructions were OK but the job looked quite intimidating. It was not!! With the help of my wife the structure was up in 2 days and the detail finished in another 2. After a coat of preservative it now looks great. Time will tell re how long lived it is. Only complaint is that the felt nails are not long enough - they should be 8 - 10mm not the 5mm supplied. I went out and bought a pack. Otherwise a good product supplied by efficient people and organise well be Elbec. Definately recommended. Mr Metcalf"

By Phil Metcalf on 15th November 2013

"Exactly as promised.: I was a little concerned about ordering from Shires as some websites were very critical of poor delivery and customer service. I was delighted to receive the shed on the day promised, undamaged and with every single part present. I was awed by the number of parts but the instructions were clear and logical. It has taken me 2 days to erect plus a day to treat all the wood. It now looks really good and I am delighted with it. I definately recommend this shed and Shires and Elbec. "

By Steve Heath on 19th August 2013

"Great value sturdy shed: The shed comprised a lot more pieces than I expected, but the instructions were relatively easy to follow, although difficult to read due to poor printing - I too requested the pdf which was much clearer. This was emailed to me very quickly - thanks customer service department! I managed to paint all the panels and strips that would be exposed, before assembling - this meant it was fully weatherproof once erected. Also, painting the window frames and beading before fitting the glass meant no masking needed to keep the glass free of paint. I used 40mm screws instead of the nails in the floor and wall-strips - much better, especially with the springy wall strips. Only negative point - the 0.8mm roofing nails were OK on single thickness felt, but would not stay in on the areas where 2 strips of felt overlap - I got some 13mm felt nails from screwfix and they did the job! Overall, I'm delighted with my purchase."

By daniel o neill on 29th May 2013

"2 pains of glass broken: the shed is first class,it looks good on paper its better in real life great buy.if possible could you replace the 2 pains of glass p.s. love the shed*****"

By steve philp on 4th March 2013

"value for money: delivery was a bit earlier than the time given but they were very helpful with our difficult access.product far exceeded what l expected for the money and is very sturdy ,looks brilliant.definitely try and treat the floor and roof panels before erection,follow the instructions precisely and it goes up fine."

By Richard & Pauline on 24th July 2012

"Almost 5 stars: Firstly a great price and service so big thanks to all involved. The building itself is of very good quality and straightforward to assemble. For personal choice I do not use supplied nails but substitute with screws.The hinges are adequate. Just. Some extra bracing on the doors would improve rigidity. I would be happy to pay a little extra for these few improvements. All in all a good building that I am happy to recommend, along with elbec and the staff at Shire."

By george habershon on 20th July 2012

"very impressed: shed looked hard to erect but was straight forward once my son started.it looks really good.I had one problem floor was damaged but new floor sent straight out ,i would recommend product and the firm,really pleased with my purchase"

By k .MacKintosh on 15th December 2011

"very pleased: good value quality shed. small problem with roofing felt which was speedily rectified without quibble by friendly efficient staff"

By Mr Walsh on 3rd November 2011

"Top Quality for the price.: bought this item as a workshop/store. I am 6'3'' and I can stand up inside ok. The instructions could be a lot better with more close-up pictures or more detailed pictures online. I paid the sale price which made it good value but I would not have paid the list price. After seeing the locks etc provided I went to B & Q and bought much heavier ones. The goods were delivered on time but the floor was damaged and I had to do some major repairs to one section but as I was in a rush it was faster for me to repair rather than complain.The floor is a bit to thin if you are not building directly onto a concrete base.I built mine with a deck at the front and one of my kids wanted to move in as it looks more like a little house."

By Mr Hawkins on 3rd November 2011

"The garden shed I ordered met all my expectations including prompt delivery.: No problems in recommending Elbecgardenbuildings as the shed I looked at on-line came as described. Simple instructions meant it went up in no time and ready for use."

By Mr Panter on 3rd November 2011

"Excellent customer service & product.: The Shire Guernsey garden shed I purchased from Elbec is excellent value. It went together with no problems. Elbec customer service is very good, delivery was good, in fact the whole purchase/product/service is excellent. I would recommend Elbec and the Shire Guernsey shed without reservation."

By Mrs Riley on 3rd November 2011

"A wounderful good looking product: The quality of the wood is just beautiful, and it truly accents the garden. Truly recommend this product."

By Anne on 3rd November 2011
