Description
The Pro-Tect Tanalised Timber 5ft x 6ft Shiplap Apex Shed is built to withstand the heavier elements of British weather, tongue and groove cladded panels which are pre-engineered to be as weather resistant as possible. No matter whatever you store inside of the wooden garden sheds, you can be sure it will be protected. With a variety of window placement options, you are able to make maximum use of the natural source of light.
The tongue and groove construction we use in the Apex Sheds is a much more substantial design than your normal overlap cladding, utilising thicker material for an overall stronger structure. with its interlocking tongue and groove design you can guarantee this will stop rain water from entering the building. With its heavy duty floor you have also the peace of mind that you wont be restricted to storing the heavier of goods within. These sheds are the ultimate garden storage building which will suit all your needs.
Our buildings only use the finest Timber materials, and we will never use inferior materials such as chipboards or OSB board. This is why we come so highly recommended by past customers, garden centres we currently provide and also high profiled property developers.
Shed Base Preparation
You will need a firm and level base for the shed to go on (this shed is not supplied with a base). The shed comes with a T&G floor with floor joists on the underside to lift the building off the ground, but you will still need something firm and level for it to go on. This can be concrete, paving slabs, timber bearers or any other suitable firm and level base. If you have any questions on bases then please get in touch. Some silicone around the windows on the outside would also be beneficial.
The base is slightly smaller than the external measurement of the building, i.e. the cladding should overhang the base, creating a run for water. It is recommended that the floor is at least 25mm above the surrounding ground level to avoid flooding.
Delivery
The shed will arrive on a pallet delivered by our trusted courier. It will be delivered on an 18ton vehicle and a tail lift / pallet truck will unload the pallet. If there are any access problems for an 18ton vehicle (similar to the size of a bin wagon) then please advise us when placing the order so we are able to make alternative arrangements.
