Uncover the charm of the Redlands 10′ x 20′ Shiplap Apex Wooden Garage, an ideal home for your vehicle or a versatile workshop space. Featuring a front entryway with dual doors and a side entrance for easy access to all corners. Each door set is fitted with a secure mortice lock and key for added security. The shed is brightened by 2mm glass windows, with one window designed to open for ventilation.
Designed with robust 58 x 44m framing and a pressure-treated bearer at the bottom of each wall, the garage also showcases sturdy internal roof trusses to prevent drooping. Fashioned from top-quality 12mm shiplap timber panels and finished with a red cedar water-based solution, the structure promises durability and aesthetic appeal. The roof is constructed from durable 12mm tongue & groove panels, topped off with mineral felt for added protection against the elements. All timber used is endorsed to be responsibly procured. Furthermore, the purchase comes with a 10-year warranty from Redlands Garden Buildings covering timber decay and rot. While the warranty excludes natural timber cracks or warping, it is imperative to erect the garage on a solid, even foundation using robust materials. Routine treatment with a high-grade preservative is advised for enduring performance.
The size of the shed depends on what you plan to store or use it for. Measure the items you plan to store and consider any additional space for moving around or future storage needs. Common sizes range from small (6×8 feet) for basic storage to large (12×24 feet) for workshops or extensive storage.
Sheds are typically made from wood, metal, or plastic. Wood is aesthetically pleasing and customizable but requires more maintenance. Metal sheds are durable and secure but can be prone to rust. Plastic sheds are low-maintenance and easy to assemble but may not be as sturdy as wood or metal.
Permit requirements vary by location. Check with your local building department or zoning office. Typically, small sheds (under 120 square feet) may not require a permit, but larger ones or those with electrical installations often do.
A solid foundation is crucial for stability and longevity. Options include concrete slabs, gravel bases, or wooden platforms. Choose a foundation based on your shed’s size, material, and the ground conditions of your site.
Look for sheds with features like weather-resistant materials, proper sealing, and robust construction. Ensure the shed has a good roof overhang, proper drainage, and secure locking mechanisms to protect against theft and weather damage.
Assembly time depends on the size and complexity of the shed. Small, simple sheds can be assembled in a few hours, while larger or more complex sheds may take a full day or more. Professional installation is also an option for those who prefer not to DIY.
Maintenance depends on the material. Wooden sheds need periodic painting or staining and checking for rot or pests. Metal sheds may need rust prevention treatments. Plastic sheds require minimal maintenance, typically just cleaning as needed.
Moving a shed is possible but can be challenging, especially for larger structures. It’s easier to move a smaller shed if it has a solid base. Consider the logistics and potential costs of moving before installation. If moving is likely, a portable shed might be a better option.
Many sheds come with detailed assembly instructions, making them suitable for DIY installation, especially smaller models. However, larger or more complex sheds may require professional installation to ensure they are properly and safely assembled. Assess your skill level, available tools, and the complexity of the shed before deciding.
