Pressure Treated Sheds

The primary benefits of buying pressure-treated sheds are that:

Longer guarantee lengths (usually twenty five years) are available

1. You won’t need to apply a preservative coating each year. This not only saves on wood preservative costs but also saves on time and effort too
2. They are heavy duty and will last for many years, with many sheds outlasting the sale of the home and even the owner, with many sheds lasting 30+ years (provided they are properly maintained)

Many people tend to like the look of the natural timbers, which pressure treatment allows. That said you can, of course, apply a decorative treatment at any time to change the look of your shed. View our wide range of timber treatments here.

The process of pressure treatment works by forcing preservative deep within the grain of the timbers. This is achieved by placing the wooden timbers into a sealed cylinder where pressure is applied in the presence of the preservative. A vacuum stage is then used to remove any excess preservative. The process allows for high absorption and uniform penetration of the preservative throughout the wood.

The large majority of our heavy duty pressure treated sheds feature a 25 year anti-rot and decay guarantee.

If you're after more headroom in your shed, then our Apex-style is for you. The high, sloping eaves make it easier to stand in and give more storage space.

When it rains, the sloping eaves will ensure that water runs off and doesn't accumulate. This limits potential water damage and rot.

This classic roof shape is very popular and how most traditional sheds are configured. This style is both attractive and practical.

With the Pent-style, the roof is made of one panel that slopes away from the door side of the shed. This acts to deflect water rapidly off the top of your shed.

Since the water drains off the roof with ease, the potential for leaks and timber decay is reduced.

If you're after something different, then this unique and compact design is for you and would make an attractive alternative in your garden. View our specialist pent sheds page at this link.
