Dip Treated Sheds

Dip treating is a process of protecting a wooden shed externally with a preservative solution. This is done to defend the wood against rot, fungal decay, and insect infestations. The wood preservative solution is typically applied using a brush, roller, or sprayer, and then the timber is left to dry for a few days.

The process of dip-treating timber is the most common method of applying preservative in bulk and is easily recognised by the attractive cedar-red finish that it leaves on your dip treated shed. The process achieves a similar preservative coating to brushing or spraying, but this happens at the factory – saving you time and effort.

The main downside of buying a dip treated shed over a pressure treated one is maintenance. With dip treated sheds it’s necessary to reapply a preservative treatment periodically to ensure your shed lasts.

Dip treated sheds with apex roofs have superb headroom and storage room as a result of their sloping eaves.

The sloping eaves allow water to run off the roof, keeping your shed watertight. Puddles of water will not form, meaning that the chance of timber decay due to water damage is limited.

The sloping eaves have a pleasing and traditional style, typical of a classic shed.

For a more modern look, dip treated sheds with pent roofs feature one sloping roof panel, highest at the door end of the shed. This acts to deflect water from the top of your shed.

Pent-style sheds also provide the advantage of reduced risk of water damage and rot, as well as a more attractive and space-saving design.

It depends on various factors, such as the type of treatment you used previously and the climate where you live. Our opinion is that it is best to treat your shed once every 12 months. Individual sheds usually have notes about the interval period for dip treatment of sheds.

As a matter of routine, you should also inspect your shed regularly (at least 3-4 times per year) to ensure the shed is in good condition and to identify any areas that may need treatment. This will save costly remediation work later. Buy from our range of top-quality timber treatments when you click this link.
