£369.00

The Apex Large Outdoor Storehouse, professionally crafted by Hartwood, features Pressure Treated Shiplap Walls, catering to the storage needs of sizable outdoor belongings. Boasting a spacious interior, this wooden structure is an ideal shelter for larger gardening equipment or outdoor furniture. Equipped with dual gate openings, it is tailored to accommodate items such as lawnmowers and bicycles. The stylish construction highlights environmentally-friendly sourced shiplap planks and Tongue & Groove front panels with dual gate access. The timber undergoes a rigorous pressure treatment process to enhance durability against various weather conditions, backed by a reassuring 15-year anti-rot guarantee. Topped with weather-resistant felt roofing, the structure is further fortified by smoothly-planed gable boards, while the elevated floor, supported by pressure-treated beams, prevents moisture seepage. The secure closure is ensured by a plate fastener and staple lock mechanism, offering the option to incorporate a padlock for additional protection. In addition, concealed door hinges bolster the overall security features of the storehouse.

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.
