Description

Looking for an affordable but high quality medium to large shed with plenty of space inside? Look no further than the 10 x 7 Barraca Shiplap Shed from Shire. With quality features that include first-class timber, thick and sturdy wall cladding, a robust framework, a tongue and groove floor and shiplap tongue and groove cladding, what more could you possibly need from a shed to assure you it will last for years to come? Whether you have garden furniture, tools, a lawnmower, kids’ toys or simply have existing storage spaces that are bursting at the seams, the Barraca will provide a fantastic expansion on your current storage. With plenty of space inside, you will be impressed by how much extra room it will give you for storage.

You can also rest assured that the Barraca will look great in your garden, wherever you situate it. Its attractive apex roof and charming, Georgian-style 'crossed' glazed window adds extra character to the shed’s pleasing exterior. Finally, the Barraca’s sleek and smart tongue and groove timber finish completes what is a really good-looking garden shed. The shed also comes with a 10 year anti-rot guarantee provided you follow all of the manufacturer’s care instructions.

Features

The Barraca gets its strength and durability from its 34mm x 34mm framework, which is as much as 20% thicker than the framing on similar products from other manufacturers in this price bracket. The Barraca also includes a 12mm tongue and groove floor as standard. This is another quality feature that is seldom found on sheds of this price and ensures you have a shed floor that has an impressive load capacity.

The Barraca boasts a high quality, 12mm thick shiplap tongue and groove construction. On shiplap tongue and groove sheds, the individual boards close together tightly. This gives the building great strength and the interior fantastic protection from the elements by encouraging water run-off. The shiplap profile also features a slight overlapping lip, which further helps water run-off.

The shed’s opening window is glazed with horticultural glass for a clearer pane and long lasting clarity. This is another selling point of the Barraca as many other sheds that are this affordable will use Perspex or a similar material, which often dulls over time. Plus, the windows have a unique profiled 'lip' that covers the opening in the panel which adds further weather resistance. The windows have two levels of opening and they can be located anywhere on the side elevations of your shed to suit your needs.

Its roof is made from 8mm oriented strand board, (OSB) a robust material that is weather resistant. Mineral roofing felt is also included to add to the shed’s weather resistance and provide protection against damp and rot. A secure single door offers access to the shed. A padbolt, to which you can attach a padlock, (padlock not supplied) is also included to provide security for valuables stored inside the shed. This range of fantastic features demonstrates why so many choose the Barraca for their gardens.

Your shed is supplied with detailed instructions and all the fixings necessary to complete construction. Optional assembly is available if you would like your shed erected for you quickly and professionally.

About the Timber

You will be impressed by Shire's use of natural products and their environmental credentials. A high quality timber shed starts with high quality timber, so it is important to know exactly what timber is being used. 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 products 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.

Shire state that you must apply a water based top coat. This will protect the timber from weathering on your shed making it last longer and will need to be repeated accordingly in relation to the manufacturer's instructions.
