Description

The 8 x 3 Lotus Apex Metal Shed in the new colour Anthracite Grey provides you with plenty of additional storage space for your garden. It represents fantastic value for money, particularly when compared to similar quality metal sheds. This new model features the stylish colour Anthracite Grey which is very on-trend in modern garden design.

Features

The shed is manufactured from ribbed steel sheeting and with a solid, heavy-gauge galvanised steel frame which makes it sturdy and robust. The high tensile, 0.3mm hot-dipped galvanised steel used in its construction is also low maintenance, requiring minimal upkeep after construction. Simply wiping it down occasionally should be more than enough to maintain your shed’s appearance. It also comes with a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty, so you can be sure you are receiving a high-quality shed that will last.

The galvanised steel walls are finished with five coats of paint and are made to withstand challenging environments. For example, you can rest assured your shed will be protected from rusting in coastal areas where the high salt content of the atmosphere would take its toll on inferior quality metal buildings. These features also make the exterior highly resistant to scratch damage as well as rusting, meaning it will maintain its attractive appearance throughout its lifetime.

The Lotus Metal Shed features sturdy door rails that glide open and closed and have been designed to provide the most stable and well-balanced door possible. The smooth track on which the doors run allows them to open wide with minimal effort, perfect for storing even large or bulky items inside. You will be impressed at how useful sliding doors are because having to prop open hinged doors can prove a problem when taking items in and out of a conventional shed. You can also padlock the doors (padlock not included) for extra security and peace of mind.

Ventilated gables ensure that airflow inside is maintained, important for minimising condensation. This shed’s slim-line roof bracing is unobtrusive but still provides plenty of robust support. The Anthracite Grey exterior will add a sophisticated, modern feel to your garden space. Also featuring a generous wall and ridge height, the amount of usable storage space inside is advantageous. Importantly, the Lotus Metal Shed offers excellent value for money without any compromise on quality when compared to other similar metal garden buildings.
