All of the timber in this shed is pressure treated, responsibly sourced (except MR P5  sheets) and is guaranteed against rot and insect infestation for 10 years. Protecting your timber thoroughly, you won’t need to re-treat for at least ten years or worry about little critters causing havoc. We recommend that you treat external timber with a good quality water repellent.
All our Pressure Treated timber is for User Class 3

All of our timber Pergolas, Gazebos, Carports and Porches are fully pressure treated as standard. We take the pre-cut lengths of timber and place them in a large pressure treatment tank, where the timbers are impregnated with a non-toxic preservative. We add a colourant during this process, giving the timber a rich brown colour. By pressure treating the timber, we can offer a genuine 10-year guarantee against rot and insect infestation. We only suggest that you apply a good quality water repellent to prolong the longevity of the timber.

All our Pressure Treated timber is for User Class 3. It involves the application of preservatives using a vacuum.

 

We only use full lengths of timber in our garden products – we don’t glue separate offcut pieces together with finger joints. Not only are they stronger, but they look much better too.

Other companies are happy to provide you with rough offcuts, mixed timber and finger jointed timber, creating an odd-looking weak garden building with an off-putting appearance.

This Heavy Duty Shed uses rectangular logs to create an inherently sturdy and durable structure. The logs interlock in exactly the same way as our Log Cabins, thanks to their Tongue and Groove design and notched ends (visible in image) If you are looking for a garden building that is strong and long-lasting, look no further!  

The Taarmo Heavy Duty Shed features tongue and groove spruce timber. This allows the timber pieces to fit together flawlessly while still allowing for the natural movement of the spruce. This means you will have less chance of unsightly gaps appearing in your shed over time.

The Taarmo tool shed comes with pressure treated floor bearers and 11mm slow-grown spruce tongue & groove floorboards as standard. It is the perfect material for the job, especially when comparing to cheaper pine or OSB boards found in the market. The tongue & groove floor-boards are fitted by slotting each board into each other, fixing the boards to the bearers as you go, creating a sturdy surface with an attractive appearance

We supply the Taarmo shed with an 11mm tongue & groove roof boards as standard. We make the roof from single pieces of slow-grown spruce as this is the perfect material for the job, especially when comparing to alternatives found on the market. The tongue & groove roof boards are fitted in the same way as the floor, where each board is slotted into the next, creating a strong surface and attractive ceiling.

The construction of this Shed helps you make sure that your valuable tools or other treasured equipment is safe and sound! The sturdy hasp and clasp that holds your padlock are designed so that in the closed position, its fixing screws are covered by the metal clasp, making it difficult to remove from the timber. Similarly, the hinges are bolted in position and difficult to remove when the door is in the closed position.

We supply Superfelt. NOT cheap low-grade felt.

Give your Garden Building a durable roof covering with our Superfelt. This is a highly durable felt, made of thick material using an advanced polyester formula to make it resistant to tearing in strong winds. Superfelt will offer your Garden Building added protection from the varying British weather and is supplied in a green/grey mineral finish.

Unlike our competitors, we only use high-quality spruce timber on our wooden products rather than cheap pine or mixed timber. Why do we use slow grown spruce rather than the much cheaper knotty pine alternatives?

Spruce is considered more stable as it expands and contracts less than pine. This stability means that the spruce timbers in our garden buildings minimise splits from appearing as the timber changes along with the weather.  We responsibly source all our timber, where it grows slowly in the cold northern regions. We all know the old adage of counting the rings to see how old a tree is, well our timber grows slower and takes longer to get to size meaning it has more rings in it. This means it has a tighter grain, and each ring helps prevent cracks and shakes from appearing in the densely packed timber.

Our wooden garden buildings and climbing frames really are built to last therefore we use only the highest quality, slow-grown spruce.  Spruce is much more resilient to warps and splits compared to its cheaper alternative pine. Being a whitewood, it doesn’t discolour anywhere near as much as pine so it is also much more aesthetically pleasing for a garden structure. Considered more stable, less knotty and resinous than pine, spruce will also produce a lot less sap. It is also less dense meaning it is not as susceptible to mould and rot.

All our garden buildings have been designed on the basis that any competent DIY customer should have no problem installing a product themselves in a short amount of time. You do not have to be an expert at DIY to build a Dunster House garden building, as we do provide you with comprehensive pictorial instructions. We totally understand that DIY is not for everyone therefore, you may want to consider getting in touch with a local carpenter or handyman to install it for you. But before you do, check out our construction video and decide for yourself!

There is nothing more annoying than being in the middle of building something and finding that you don’t have the right fixings to continue. We include all of the screws, nails and fixings that you will need to put your garden building together – not many of our competitors are that thoughtful. This eliminates the need to worry about the type of screws or the length of nails you might need to get started – it’ll all be with your delivery.

All of our garden buildings have pressure-treated floor bearers as standard. This treatment prevents the timber bearers from rotting for up to 10 years and causing your garden building to sink. Pressure treatment forces the wood preservative into the timber rather than simply dip treating (essentially just covering the exterior) like many companies still do. Who wants to have to annually deconstruct and re-treat the bearers each year!

Due to this costly but effective process, we can offer our customers a genuine 10-year guarantee against rot and insect infestation on the bearers.  We do however recommend applying a good quality water repellent to the timber to prolong the longevity of the timber. Shockingly many of our competitors still offer untreated bearers to keep their costs down, so beware!
