Description

The Shire Alderney Shiplap Apex 7x5 Shed is a practical and stylish addition to any garden. It is designed for durability and versatility. It is constructed with sturdy 34x34mm framing, which connects to form a robust 68x34mm structure, and premium tongue-and-groove shiplap cladding, offering exceptional strength and weather resistance.

The apex roof design ensures efficient rainwater runoff while providing generous headroom for convenient storage or workspace use. Double doors, reinforced with Z-bar bracing and secured with a pad bolt, offer easy access to larger items, while the single-opening window lets in natural light and ventilation. The window can be positioned on either side of the shed to suit your outdoor layout.

This shed features smaller panels for easier assembly handling, a solid sheet roof, and a 12mm tongue-and-groove floor for a defect-free, reliable finish. Dip-treated for initial protection, it requires annual re-treatment for long-lasting performance. Manufactured from sustainably sourced timber in the UK, the Shire Alderney Shed is a durable, eco-conscious, and versatile garden solution.

Optional Shed Base:

Installing a garden shed on soil or grass isn't ideal, but this base allows it. Use a heavy-duty weed membrane underneath. This quick and easy solution provides a solid base without the cost of concrete or slabs. Made from 44mm x 70mm pressure-treated wood with deep preservative penetration, the base is suitable for lawns or firm soil. Adjustable base spikes (up to 100mm) are included. Simply screw the timbers and attach spikes for a sturdy, elevated base that keeps damp away. Order this base from the 'Choose Additional Options' section above.

Roof - 8mm Oriented Strand Board (OSB)

Make the Most of Your Shed:

The Shire Alderney 7x5 Apex Shed provides a compact yet highly functional space that can be tailored to your needs. Use shelving and hooks to efficiently organise tools, gardening supplies, and seasonal items. The wide double doors make storing larger equipment like lawnmowers or bikes easy, while the adjustable window position ensures natural light and airflow enhance the interior.

Add a workbench near the window to transform the shed into a small gardening station or create a neat storage hub with bins and racks for outdoor essentials. The weather-resistant design ensures your belongings stay safe and dry, making this shed a versatile and valuable extension of your home and garden.

About Your Order:

The Shire Shiplap Shed is a British-made garden building made from high-quality spruce (picea) and is sourced from sustainably sourced timber. You will get a low-carbon footprint shed made from ethically sourced materials. The practical design makes it straightforward to assemble. It comes with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee and a 12-month manufacturer's warranty. 

Superior fixings, high-quality roof felt, and assembly from the manufacturer is available as an optional service. The timber boards attach to a solid internal framing to make hard-wearing and sturdy panels. The Shire Wooden Shed is flat-packed for easy handling and assembly.

Please note: Images may depict furnishings and accessories; these are for illustration purposes only and are not included with your order. 

Garden Shed Aftercare:

The shed's timbers have been dip-treated to protect them during transit. You must apply a preservative and waterproofing topcoat immediately after installation. This treatment, followed by consistent annual treatment, will maintain the high-quality finish and is a requirement of the 10-year anti-rot guarantee. A one-year manufacturer's warranty is included as standard.

To treat the shed, elbec recommends Protek wood treatment. Browse our Protek Royal Exterior Wood Finish Paint range to find the best paint colour to add your personalised finish.  We’ve also included popular colours and a Wood Preserver+ for use underneath your colour choice in the options section.

Upon Delivery
Delivery is made by Shire the manufacturer. Delivery of this item is typically made by a 17 ton flat-bed (similar size to a council refuse lorry). Delivery is typically between 7am and 7pm. The delivery drivers are only insured to deliver to kerb side or driveway. We would not risk damaging your property whilst delivering a product. Unfortunately we will not be able to go through your property. Deliveries are hand-balled off by the driver.

We would recommend against arranging for a third party to install the building before it's been delivered and checked that all parts are present, as we cannot be held liable for any third-party costs.

If you are choosing the installation option after placing your order you’ll be contacted within 5 working days by Shire the manufacturer either by a text message or automated telephone message (the latter if a mobile number is not supplied).

Any delay in accepting these terms and conditions may affect your timescale. Once you have accepted these terms and conditions you will be contacted during the timescale with a date for the delivery/assembly of your order. The installation option will extend your lead time by up to 15-25 working days. This may take longer during seasonal periods. Please be aware that the installation team will require full access to your garden, 18' clearance all around the building and a firm and level base. Shire's installation team will not bring a building through your home as they are not covered by insurance to enter a customer’s home.
