Description

The 20 x 10 Absco Metal Utility Workshop in Pale Eucalyptus from Mercia is low-maintenance, excellent value, and offers a really impressive amount of interior space, making it perfect for home workshop use or even as a spacious storage shed. If it’s and abundance of space you are after from your garden building at excellent value, then this could certainly be the choice for you.  

The Utility Workshop has a traditional apex roof, which remains as popular as ever as a choice for our customers’ from a design perspective. However, this style of roof has more benefits than purely looks; it also adds a fantastic amount of headroom inside, maximising available storage space and giving you plenty of room to work in, if you should decide to use your building as a workshop. Its high ridge also ensures you have a really spacious interior, giving you excellent flexibility with what you can fit inside. As a metal shed, it boasts the huge advantage that it requires minimal maintenance during its lifetime. That means no yearly treatments, no painting and no running repairs. Simply wiping the building down occasionally and removing any debris from on or around it should be more than enough to keep it at its best.

Superior quality, high-tensile “Bluescope Steel” is used in the construction of Absco products, which is more durable, rigid and robust than the material used for many other metal garden buildings. A Pale Eucalyptus coloured “Colorbond” paint layer adds extra durability to the shed’s exterior and is a popular colour choice, especially in more traditional settings, because it blends so well in a wide range of outdoor environments.

The Utility workshop boasts two wide-opening double doors to the front, which facilitate easy access even when taking the largest of items in and out. There is also a single door on the side elevation for more convenient access to the building’s contents. The shed can be locked by attaching your own padlock to the sliding padbolts that are supplied for the double doors and the single, side door respectively, so you can secure the building’s contents. The doors are braced for extra strength and security. And of course, because it features double doors, this makes taking ever larger items in and out of your shed as easy as possible.

Many metal garden buildings you will find on the market are notoriously fiddly to construct; however, every effort has been made with the Absco range to ensure that assembly is as straightforward as possible. Its SNAPTiTE assembly system makes every panel fit together tightly and with relative ease, while using far fewer screws than similar metal buildings in this price bracket. Pre-punched holes also speed up the installation process and make assembly easier. The edges are even rolled for extra safety when handling and constructing your product.

Many customers choose a metal garden building because they are fire retardant. In caravan parks, holiday parks and campsites, for example, fire regulations require storage that is non-combustible. If this is a case, a metal building could be ideal, though we do recommend that you double check with all relevant authorities before any purchase. A 20 year manufacturer's warranty provides you with assurance that your purchase will last for years and years to come. The Utility Workshop is supplied flat packed with instructions and all the fixings that are required to complete assembly. You can also choose to have your building constructed quickly and correctly by our expert team of fitters if you would prefer.
