Description

Are you looking for a garden shed that takes the entire industry a step forward? Austrian pioneers in garden building design Biohort have developed a shed that combines the inherent strength of galvanised steel plate with a stunning design that features a three-panel fanlight and pent roof. With integrated storage solutions and plenty of opportunity to accessorise this shed, the AvantGarde A5 offers everything needed to shelter items and keep gardens organised.

Those who enjoy the look of this shed might want to explore the other seven sizes available to order through elbec, as well as the rest of Biohort's excellent range of garden sheds and storage units.

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 door and four 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 door of the AvantGarde A5 is lockable by key. The 3-way locking system is extremely robust and backs up the strong steel construction of the door and surrounding panels. A spare key is also included. Please note that in the double door option, 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.
