£2244.00

The Oren 18′ x 8′ Pent Combi Potting Shed with 6ft Side Store has been carefully crafted to offer additional storage capacity for your garden while facilitating year-round cultivation of your potted flora. This shed boasts customizable features that enable the placement of doors in various orientations, thus ensuring suitability for any garden layout. Constructed from robust 12mm thick shiplap tongue and groove timber, including the floor and roof, this shed is built for enhanced durability and structural integrity. The heavy-duty framing of this structure showcases rounded corners, adding a touch of elegance to its design. Equipped with toughened safety glass as standard and a Premium High Performance Felt featuring a specialized polyester backing, this shed is engineered to withstand the test of time without succumbing easily to wear and tear. Explore the customizable shed options, including the double door upgrade, available in the ‘customise & buy’ section for more information. It is important to note that only one door will be upgraded to a double door, while the other will remain a single door. The entire construction of Oren sheds consists of 12mm thick shiplap tongue and groove timber, ensuring strength and durability throughout, including the floor and roof sections. The shiplap cladding design incorporates a small channel at the top of each board, facilitating quicker water runoff and aiding in the shed’s rapid drying post-rain exposure, thereby enhancing protection against water damage. Any Oren shed featuring windows is furnished with toughened safety glass, enhancing its structural durability and thermal strength, making it 500% more resistant to heat and shock compared to regular glass. The toughened glass comes pre-fitted with internal beading, eliminating the need for subsequent fitting, while PVC sills on the window units prevent water ingress and offer a refined appearance. For extended longevity and reduced oxidization, all Oren sheds are equipped with galvanized hinges, turn buttons, and door pull. The galvanizing process involves coating these components with a protective zinc layer, shielding them from rust and other forms of deterioration. Completing the shed’s construction is a premium waterproof felt featuring a specialized ‘polyester’ backing, ensuring prolonged durability and resistance to rippling or tearing. Saturated with a bitumen (asphalt) protective coating, the felt effectively repels water while allowing the material to breathe. It is essential to note that the overall dimensions of the Potting Shed encompass 18×8, inclusive of the side store.

FAQs

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.
