Description

The 8 x 6 Lotus Metal Shed is a revolutionary development in its category of light clad metal sheds and is excellent value for money. It provides you with plenty of additional storage space for your garden. This new model features the stylish colour Anthracite Grey, which is very on-trend in modern garden design. 

Features

The Lotus 8 x 6 Metal Shed offers a vast amount of inside space and is designed to be sturdy and robust. Underpinning its strength and durability it is manufactured from ribbed steel sheeting, with a solid, heavy-gauge galvanised steel frame and high tensile, 0.3mm hot-dipped galvanised steel. It is also exceptionally low maintenance and requires minimal upkeep after construction. This Lotus Shed 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. Ventilated gables ensure that airflow inside is maintained, and this is important for minimising condensation. This shed’s slim-line roof bracing is unobtrusive but still provides plenty of robust support. 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.

This new model has been designed to provide a more stable and well-balanced door. The smooth track on which the doors run allows them to open wide with minimal effort, perfect for storing large or bulky items inside. You can also padlock the doors (padlock not included) for extra security and peace of mind.

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. 

About Your Lotus Shed Order

The 8 x 6 Lotus Apex Metal Shed is a superb shed that gives you plenty of valuable extra storage space. Whether you have garden furniture that needs sheltered storage or a place for all your garden tools and equipment, you are sure to appreciate the extra room it gives you. Lotus sheds are also ideal for caravan or holiday parks where fire regulations mean that non-combustible storage sheds are compulsory. With larger shed sizes and other colours available in the Lotus shed range, there is a solution to almost any requirement.

You can also choose to include a Skylight on your shed, a translucent roof sheet that will replace a roof panel. This allows plenty of natural light to enter your shed while still preventing items stored inside from being visible from the outside, an important feature when considering the security of your shed’s contents. An opening side window can also be added to your shed as an optional extra.

Optional Assembly

We offer the option of having your shed constructed by our dedicated professionals, who will assemble it quickly and correctly, saving you time and effort. However, you can choose to use the comprehensive and user-friendly instructions included with your shed and construct it yourself.

Base Information

This garden building is not supplied with a floor. It is essential that the building is anchored to a suitable concrete or slab base. You can purchase a complete Hilti Screw Anchor Kit, with the correct number of fasteners plus a free masonry drill bit, which will be delivered with your metal shed so you can anchor it to your chosen base.

As a robust and attractive alternative, you can also purchase a timber floor kit or a steel foundation kit for your shed. Both options will provide you with a solid shed base that will last while also ensuring your new garden building is anchored.
