Our Heavy Duty Taarmo Shed uses only Pressure Treated spruce, coming with a 10-year guarantee against rot and fungal decay. Entry to the windowless Shed is via a wide opening single door, increasing security by preventing intruders from seeing what’s inside your shed. To give your roof a thicker, durable finish than many of our competitors, our superior superfelt is supplied with your order. Roof and Floor are Included in the price so there are no hidden surprises.
10 Year Guarantee
All of the slow-grown spruce timber used in this shed is pressure treated and is guaranteed against rot and insect infestation for up to 10 years. To prolong the longevity of the timber, we recommend applying a good quality water repellent to the external timbers.
No Glued together Offcuts
We only use full lengths of timber in our garden buildings - we don't glue separate offcut pieces together with finger joints. Not only are full lengths of timber stronger, but they look much better too. The panels we make are half height rather than divided along the width, so you don't get joins in the cladding where one panel meets another.
Pressure Treated
All of the timber used on this Heavy Duty Taarmo Shed is delivered to you pressure treated. The process of pressure treatment ensures that you don't need to spend your time, money and energy treating the timber yourself for up to ten years. Our pressure treated timber carries a genuine 10 Year Guarantee against fungal decay and insect infestation without any need for reapplication of treatment during this time. To prologue the longevity of the timber, we recommend applying a good quality water repellent to the external timbers.
Tongue and Groove Walls
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.
AVOID PLANNING PERMISSION
This building is under 2.5m high.
Why does this matter? Well, under permitted development rights buildings under 2.5m high can be placed as close as you want to a boundary (eg. a fence line) without planning permission. Buildings that are over 2.5m high, however, need to be placed over 2m away from any boundary (eg. a fence line), which means that with taller buildings you end up with a lot of space behind them. If you want to find out more about permitted development rights see our planning guide
Log construction
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!
It is 1.90m (6' 2") high
Do you offer any guarantees or warranties on this product?

To ensure the very best quality, we only use slow-grown White Spruce Timber, which is harvested in cold climates to ensure solid, dense log rings. This gives the wood superior strength and longevity, and also a much more consistent colour than the likes of Pine.
Despite the care we take in selecting the very best Timber available, it’s not like predictable brick or cold steel, this natural material has characteristics and quirks unique to every log.
Because our timber logs once fed water and nutrients back and forth from its roots to its leaves, its very nature is to be porous and swell up when it gets wet. Any wooden product will do this throughout its life, but there are a few things you can do to help limit this movement.
These include:
1. A great design!
- Don’t worry, we’ve got this one covered. We’re experts when it comes to all things timber, so we have designed our products from the ground up with its natural properties in mind.
2. Water Repellent Treatment.
- How you customise and decorate your product is up to you, however we would recommend that you use an appropriate water repellent treatment. This really helps minimise the amount of moisture that the timber can absorb. Therefore minimising the risk of any major movement.
- (Please note: water repellent treatment is not the same as pressure treatment, which protects against rot and insect infestation, and which we guarantee for 10 Years!)
3. Ventilation.
- Keeping your timber building ventilated is no less important than keeping your house well ventilated. This is especially true if you plan to cover up your floorboards with something (double check with an expert, that the material is suitable to do so), as moisture can become trapped between layers of non-breathable materials and build-up, leading to floors becoming rotten.
4. Regular Seasonal Maintenance.
- Whether you opt to build your product yourself, or have us do it for you, don’t be afraid to tighten the odd bolt here and there. Your product is a life improving investment, so it’s only right to give it some love and care from time to time. Make sure that it’s properly treated before the rainy months, and you make adjustments to doors and window frames, when needed.
Natural Timber Properties
After building your timber product, this natural construction will begin to ‘settle’. This means that you will likely see some natural timber imperfections appear. These types of natural imperfections can include:
- Expansion and Contraction
Please be aware that, as these are natural timber properties they are not considered as defects under our Terms & Conditions (for more information, check out our Ts&Cs here). However, in most cases, these imperfections will not impact the integrity or function of your timber product, and/or can easily be rectified. For advice on how to rectify these and for more support, please get in touch with our Customer Services Team on cs@dunsterhouse.co.uk.
