Its interchangeable modular framed sections make assembly easy while giving you complete flexibility over door positioning, ensuring the perfect layout for your garden. Crafted with 12mm premium Tongue & Groove construction, Timberdale offers outstanding rigidity and durability. A robust Tongue & Groove pressure-treated floor and high-grade, polypropylene-backed felted roof provide year-round weather protection, while smooth planed finial and barge boards add a traditional, elegant finish. For enhanced security, the shed includes a sturdy double-width Z-framed door fitted with a traditional rim lock latch. This large Timberdale garden shed or workshop is constructed from 12mm tongue and groove boards, renowned for their strength, style and weathertight qualities. Supported by exceptionally robust, 28mm x 56mm framing, it uses 30% more timber than standard sheds, making it far stronger than the competition. A complete modular design means the shed is delivered in smaller sections of interchangeable panels, making for an easier assembly process. These panels also give you the luxury of being able to decide where to place the doors, so you can tailor the shed to perfectly meet your requirements. The floor and roof are both manufactured from premium 12mm tongue and groove. The former easily copes with regular footfall and heavier stored items. It is fitted with pressure-treated bearers, providing extra support and acting as an effective barrier against ground moisture. The apex roof features a high-grade, polypropylene-backed felt cover for unbeatable weatherproof protection. Two diamond-shaped finials nicely round off the shed's exceptionally attractive appearance. The ledged and braced double doors offer storage-friendly access to the shed. They’re fitted with exterior turn buttons, interior bolts and a rim lock door latch to keep valuable tools safe. A windowless design provides another layer of security, while the high roofline delivers plenty of headroom and increases garden storage options. The wood used to build this shed is FSC®-certified, so only sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests. It is pressure treated and supplied with a market-leading 25-year anti-rot guarantee, so further treatment is never required, saving time and money over the long run. Forest's White Glove Service will deliver this shed for free to most UK addresses, straight into the customer's garden, with all of the packaging removed. Installation is also available as an optional chargeable extra.
