Its high-grade 12mm shiplap tongue and groove cladding and strong 34mm square framing ensure lasting quality. The single door, positioned in the 5ft gable end, easily accommodates bicycles or lawnmowers. Natural light and ventilation are provided by an opening window. Perfect for storing gardening tools or as a potting shed, this shed features a solid sheet OSB roof and a tongued and grooved floor. A pad bolt secures the door. Pre-treated with a preservative base coat, it's ready for your chosen paint or stain. Allow extra space for roof overhang and access during construction and subsequent treatment. The modular design of this Shire Apex shed allows you to decide the location of the window of your shed as you build it. The wall panels are constructed of tongue and groove cladding and supplied in modular sections. The main advantage of a modular design is that each individual panel will be small enough (in one or both dimensions) to be carried by one person and will fit through a standard pedestrian door. As a consequence the individual boards may not line up perfectly with those on adjacent panels, due to the variances in the natural timber cladding. The tongue and groove floor gives added stability and strength. Full fixings and instructions are provided with the shed along with felt for the roof. The Shire 7x5 Apex is ideal storage for the corner of your garden or allotment. With 12 toungue and groove walls and flooring and supplied with a hasp and staple on the door, all you need is to choose your own padlock and your tools are secure!
