Description

Welcoming brilliant sunshine into the interior, the high-quality glazing incorporates 1 fixed window and 1 opening window to keep the workspace thoroughly ventilated during the height of summer. Buyers seeking maximum airflow can easily select an upgrade to 2 opening windows before checkout. Gaining entry to this bright environment is incredibly straightforward via the expansive double door, which completely removes the hassle of angling wide wheelbarrows or awkward timber sheets through a restrictive frame.

Eliminating the tedious chore of annual timber upkeep, an industrial pressure-treated preservative is forced deep into every wooden component before delivery. This comprehensive protection secures a highly reassuring 25-year guarantee against structural decay and fungal rot. Overhead, the traditional apex silhouette is expertly pitched to shed sudden downpours quickly while providing excellent overhead clearance, allowing you to stand fully upright as you work.

Establishing an exceptionally rigid defensive shell, the exterior walls rely entirely upon interlocking tongue-and-groove cladding designed to help block damp draughts. Down below, the robust foundation consists of heavy-duty tongue-and-groove floorboards that confidently bear the weight of thick workbenches and stacked planters. Substantial, treated bearers underpin this floor, elevating the entire 7 x 7 structure to help distance the base from underlying soil moisture.

Pressure-Treated Wood with a Timberdale Guarantee – Built to Last and Minimise Maintenance

This structure is expertly engineered to provide a long lifespan with minimal upkeep. The timber undergoes a thorough pressure-treatment process, drawing protective preservatives deep into the wood grain to help resist decay. This advanced process is supported by an industry-leading 25-year anti-rot guarantee. While the treatment may initially leave a slight greenish tint, this is a normal characteristic that will gently weather into a natural silver-grey over time.

Completely maintenance-free, the timber will never require annual preservative applications, EVER. With a Timberdale Shed, you save an estimated £200 in time and treatment costs over its lifespan compared to standard dip-treated sheds. Should you wish to customise the colour, the manufacturer advises that you ensure the treatment you choose is recommended for pressure-treated timber. elbec recommends Protek wood treatment; you can browse our Protek Royal Exterior Wood Finish Paint range to find the best shed paint to add your own finish.

Fully Modular Design:

The shed benefits from a highly adaptable modular architecture, ensuring seamless interchangeability between same-sized panels. By delivering the building in smaller, more manageable sections, the assembly process becomes significantly more straightforward and less physically demanding. This intelligent design inherently uses more timber, resulting in a heavier, more stable construction while granting you complete flexibility in how you configure the layout to suit your garden.

Walls, Floor, and Roof:

Superior structural integrity is achieved through 12mm tongue-and-groove cladding affixed to a substantial 28mm x 56mm internal frame, creating a tight interlocking seal to help resist moisture ingress. The base features hardwearing 12mm tongue-and-groove floorboards, perfectly capable of supporting weighty items, resting securely on pressure-treated bearers that help isolate the structure from ground moisture. Overhead, the 12mm tongue-and-groove roof is shielded by premium, reinforced polyester-backed mineral felt, designed to help keep the interior environment dry and well protected.

White Glove Delivery Service:

This shed is delivered using Forest's premium White Glove Delivery Service. The specialist team will deliver the components directly to your chosen spot in the garden, saving you the effort of heavy lifting. As part of this service, they will also remove and take away all packaging, leaving your garden tidy and ready for assembly.

Optional Upgrades:

Professional Installation:

This wooden shed is supplied flat-packed for self-assembly. For ultimate convenience, you can choose our professional installation service.

Once your order is placed, the manufacturer’s installation team will send a short pre-installation questionnaire. This simple check confirms that your site is suitably flat and level, ensuring the installation day runs smoothly.

If your foundation is prepared and access is clear, the expert installers will handle the complete build. Please note that the installation team cannot dismantle or remove old buildings.

Whether you build the shed yourself or use our service, please ensure a 24-inch (60cm) clearance is left around the entire structure. This space is essential for both the assembly process and any future maintenance.

Wooden Shed Base Kit:

A solid, level base is vital for the longevity of your shed. All Forest Sheds have a floor included as standard. This optional wooden shed base kit does not replace the included floor but fixes to it to provide support and help create a level surface. The base kit provides a fast, cost-effective, and simple DIY solution, an excellent alternative to laying concrete or paving slabs. The kit consists of a robust framework made from UC4 incised timber, which has been pressure-treated to the highest standard for permanent ground contact.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I need to apply a wood preservative to my Timberdale shed? No, the entire Timberdale range is fully pressure-treated prior to delivery. This process forces preservatives deep into the timber, making the building maintenance-free and removing the need for any future anti-rot treatments.

Can I choose where the doors and windows are positioned during assembly? Yes. The fully modular design means that panels of the same size are entirely interchangeable. Whether your specific model includes single doors, double doors, or windows, you can arrange these sections during construction to best suit your garden's layout.

What type of base is required for this shed? To ensure stability and validate the 25-year anti-rot guarantee, you must build your shed on a firm, 100% level base. We strongly recommend a solid concrete base, paving slabs, or a purpose-built timber shed base.

Can I paint the shed a different colour? Absolutely. While the timber is maintenance-free and requires no preservative, you can paint it for aesthetic reasons. Please ensure you select a high-quality exterior wood paint that is specifically recommended for use on pressure-treated timber.

Does the shed come with a floor included? Yes, every shed in the Timberdale collection includes a robust tongue and groove timber floor as standard. This is supported by pressure-treated floor bearers to help elevate the building and protect it from ground damp.
