Timber - You will be impressed by the use of natural products and the environmental credentials used on this Professional shed. A high quality timber garden building starts with high quality timber, so it is important to know exactly what timber is being used for your garden shed. The most commonly used timber for garden buildings is pine as this is widely available for a very cheap price, however all our professional garden buildings are constructed using high quality spruce and is sourced from sustainably sourced timber. Spruce is more durable than pine and provides a higher quality finish. The timber is slow grown unlike fast grown British timber, being slow grown timber means a tighter grain, less sap and with far less knots and warping occurring. The timber used on the Professional garden buildings is therefore a more durable timber that will last much longer than other timbers used on garden sheds. Spruce is therefore the timber of choice for companies who always look to produce the best garden sheds.

Walls - Specially designed pine loglap of 12mm x 120mm produces a shed that is not just durable but also looks great in your garden. 

Frame - A robust planed 70mm x 44mm (3' x 2') framework (walls and floor) it the framework of a garden shed that gives the building its strength.

Floor - The floor is manufactured from high quality 16mm x 120mm planed pine tongue and groove matching pattern boarding on 70mm x 44mm (3' x 2') joists.

Roof - The roof is manufactured from high quality 12mm x 120mm planed pine tongue and groove matching pattern boarding. Tongue and Groove roof provides better insulation and gives a smarter finish. Roofing felt is supplied as standard.

Windows - The opening shed windows are glazed with 3mm Horticultural Glass. The glass is retained by profiled beading which is pre-mitred (no awkward corners to be cut). All windows use one of the strongest joints in woodwork, they are properly morticed and tenoned profiled and weather resistant. The windows have a unique profiled 'lip' which covers the aperture of the opening in the panel making it weather resistant. Casement stays have two levels of opening and are supplied fitted. Being a modular build the window panels are interchangeable and can be fitted on either the front width or the gable end (length). These large windows allow plenty of light to flood into the shed. The windows are supplied with factory fitted window frame(s) for quick and easy assembly when delivered. (Refer to the specification for total number of windows per size).

Joinery Doors - The extra high doors are fully ledged, braced and framed for extra strength and security. With a joinery door all joints are mortice and tenon, the timber is pressed together in a pneumatic press and then pinned together to give them extra strength, unlike other sheds where the doors are screwed together. The doors have a lip all the way round therefore leaving no gaps thus helps to prevent against certain weather conditions. As a security measure the doors are fitted with stormproof hinges which are strong and with the added benefit of not being visible from the outside provides extra security for the shed and offers a better looking shed. The storm hinges also give a smoother operation as they are less likely to get wet. The doors are pre-hung at the factory for quick and easy assembly when delivered.

Treatment - The Shire Professional Garden Sheds 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). The manufacturer recommends that you apply a 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.

Customer Reviews

By Stuart Lyon on 31st December 2015

"Shed panels are professionally made and assembly was fairly straight forward. Sadly a big let down was the 'high quality' roofing felt which sadly ripped all too easily. May well be worth paying extra for shingles/tiles. Will invest in some good quality felt once weather permits."
