Description

If you are looking for a place to store your logs and a useful extra space for storing valuable garden equipment, the 7 x 6 Shed and Log Store from Shire gives you the best of both worlds. With a spacious shed compartment that will give you plenty of extra usable room for storage as well as a generously sized log store area to the side, you are given a versatile storage solution for your garden in a neat and attractive package.

Why the Shire Shed and Log Store Might be for You

Do you have a wood burner, fireplace or chimnea that you need plenty of logs readily available for? Do you also need a space for your garden furniture, tools and other equipment away from the elements? Then the Shire Shed and Log Store is for you. Solving two problems in one go, this garden building has proved a must have for many of our past customers. If your current storage is full to bursting, the shed section of the Shed and Log Store combines a generous roof and wall height with ample floor space, providing you with loads of extra room for storage. But why might you need a log store? For anything that requires wood as fuel, it is essential that your logs are kept dry, so it may seem logical to store them in a shed or garage, for instance. However, it is vital that airflow is maintained around your logs to allow them to dry quickly and naturally. This will season your logs and ensure maximum heat output when you burn them as well as helping to avoid the build up of tar residue in your wood burner or chimney. This is why a purpose built log store is important.

The Shire Shed and Log Store is also an attractive looking garden building that is certain to look good in any setting. Its off centre ridge provides a distinctive touch that has proved popular among customers and part of the reason why they choose it for their gardens. Plus, its tongue and groove walls provide a touch of quality that gives the building the classic timber finish to the exterior that we are sure you will love. Quite simply, you will struggle to find such a high quality garden building, which will give you the best of both a shed and a log store in a single fantastic package, as this.

Features

The Shed and Log Store has a number of features that make it an excellent garden building that will stand up to the test of time. High quality, 12mm thick tongue and groove walls ensure not only a sturdy building, but that the inside of the shed compartment is nicely sealed away from the elements. This means you can store valuables inside knowing they will remain safe and dry. The building really gets its strength from its robust 34mm x 34mm framing, ensuring a stable and high quality construction. This framing supports a durable 12mm thick tongue and groove roof which provides unbeatable protection to the interior. Heavy duty mineral felt is included with your shed to ensure extra weatherproofing of the roof. It also features 34mm x 34mm thick floor joists supporting a robust 12mm tongue and groove floor, offering protection against rot as well as an impressive load capacity that will stand up to heavy and bulky items.

The log storage area is made of the same high quality materials with the exception of having slatted walls to allow airflow around stored logs let them dry. A generous eaves height combined with the apex roof means that the interior is nice and spacious, allowing you the flexibility to store a real range of different sizes, weights and shapes of objects. The door of the shed compartment can be secured by padlocking the sliding padbolt (padlock not included) to give you peace of mind when leaving valuables stored inside. The shed section also features an opening window, allowing in plenty of natural light as well as ventilation when required. Quite simply, you will have a hard time finding such high specifications on alternative garden buildings in this price bracket, making Shire products top of their class. We’re pleased to offer the option of booking our dedicated professionals who will assemble your shed quickly and correctly. However, you can choose to use the comprehensive instructions included with the shed and construct it yourself. 

About the Timber

You will be impressed by Shire's use of natural products and their environmental credentials. A high quality timber product starts with high quality timber, so it is important to know exactly what timber is being used for your shed. The most commonly used timber for garden buildings is pine (pinus) as this is widely available for a very cheap price, however all of Shire's garden buildings are constructed using high quality spruce (picea) and is sourced from Scandinavia under strict FSC guidance. Spruce is more durable than pine and provides a higher quality finish. This timber is slow grown unlike fast grown British and Eastern Europe's timber, being slow grown timber means a tighter grain, less sap and with far fewer knots. The timber used on Shire's range is therefore a more durable timber that will last much longer than other timbers. Spruce is therefore the timber of choice for companies such as Shire who always look to produce the best garden building.

Additional Details about your Order
