Premier Tanalised Shiplap Apex Garden Shed 8'x8'

Apex Shed, Premier, ex.19mm Shiplap, Tanalised 8' x 8' with Double Door

Shed Construction and Tanalith Treatment

The Tanalised Apex sheds are constructed using pressure treated (Tanalith-E) timber to increase the service life of the structure. Shed walls are made from ex-19mm x 125mm shiplap cladding which has a generous 17mm lap to help minimise water ingress during prolonged dry weather spells. Each section is framed with ex-38mm x 50mm timber, which when assembled produces a robust shed.

This shed has a door height of approx. 1.75m (5’ 8”). Shed height at the external eaves height is approx. 1.96m (6ft 4 inch) and from ground level to the top of the Apex is approximately 2.1 metres (approx. 7’). These height calculations include the width/height of 75mm posts to sit the shed on. Internal heights are 1.77m and 1.91metres.

The width of the standard door  is 725mm (2ft 4″), this "Mower Model" has double doors meaning there is approx. 1450mm access. -  sufficient for most domestic garden machinery, including lawnmowers. The doors side of the shed has been beefed up with 47mm x 75mm PAR to improve rigidity in the structure. The window uses 3mm horticultural glass.

Both the shed floor and shed roof are made using tanalised ex-22mm x 125mm tongue & grooved timber boards (finish sizes 18mm x 110mm) with a 9mm tongue. It is very unusual to find any shed using this quality of material, especially at this price. A quantity of 20Kg roofing felt is included for the customer to finish the roof after assembly. Delivery is free throughout most of South Devon, please verify your Post Code when ordering.

Delivery and assembly

At Southern Timber we offer a kerbside delivery through the Torbay, Teignbridge, Exeter, South Hams and Plymouth areas. While most deliveries are free sometimes they may be chargeable depending on location and the total value of the order.

Our deliveries of sheds in Devon and Cornwall are made in sectional form, they are not ideally suited to a mechanical offload. Therefore with shed deliveries we require an able bodied person to be onsite to help the driver offload the sections of the shed which are bulky as well as being heavy.

Each shed is delivered in sectional kit form and they are relatively easy to assemble. A concise set of assembly instructions is supplied with each shed. Where necessary we can supply details of tradesmen to erect your shed in most areas of South Devon; their fee will depend on the traveling time and amount of work involved. To maximise the life of your shed use a quality water repellent on the shed timbers, further details are attached to the inside of each and every shed door. Ensure your shed is positioned on timber post bearers as described below

Tanalised Apex Sheds: Assembly

All our sheds should have a minimum clearance of 300mm (12”) all around to allow for shed assembly and for maintenance. An earth base is suitable for this shed, but paving slabs or gravel would be better. The most important thing is that the site is self draining and that UC4 (user Class 4) pressure treated posts are used as bearers under the shed. Even tanalised structural timbers are not sufficient, only UC4 (and above) timbers are treated for use in ground contact applications. Because of this our shed manufacturer stress as part of their 15 Year Warranty that “Shed bearers must be Use Class 4 treated. If the shed is positioned directly on to a concrete base then this must have drainage to avoid standing water.”

This shed is pressure treated using Next generation TANALITH E wood preservative which provides a 15 year TREATED-RIGHT Performance Warranty against wood decay and insect attack (terms and conditions apply).
