Depending on the type of shed, we use Treated Pine 12mm, NZ Oregon (NZO) 25mm, and Macrocarpa 25mm wood. For flooring, we use plywood or plank flooring. We use Treated Pine for our base plates

Treated Pine has a long-term resistance to decay, insects, weather, and other deteriorating factors. The average lifespan of Treated Pine is approximately 15-20 years. Pine cladding is 12mm thick and expect moderate movement and wear.  Pine has varied grain direction, some loose and tight knots, and is merch grade timber. It is easily replaceable and readily avaliable.

NZO timber is superior in strength, stability, and durability compared to many other woods. And because of its increased natural resistance to moisture & decay, it can stand up to weather without treatment. The average lifespan of NZO is approximately 10-20 years. Oregon has a straighter grain therefore stays straighest out of our timbers. It is also 25-30mm thick therefore is a solid option. Tight knots and attractive looking timber.

Macrocarpa is ideal for cladding because it’s borer-resistant, hardens when dry, and is receptive to wood oils. The average lifespan of Macrocarpa is approximately 15-25 years. Macrocarpa is 25-30mm thick and our most expensive option. Macrocarpa has many natural featured clients want, with attractive grain, knots and colours. 

No. As clients all have different needs, we sell these separately. We make two general types – 19mm Plank from $499 and 19mm Plywood from $599.

Garden sheds are used for keeping home and garden tools, equipment, and supplies. Additionally, sheds can be used as a home office, DIY workshop, and for extra storage. And if you have items you’d prefer not to store indoors such as petrol or gardening materials, sheds are a great place to store them. 

A garden shed is useful to free up space in your home, garden, and garage and keep your tools, lawn tractors, and other items organised all year long.

Yes, naturally, wood material can rot as it is exposed to outdoor elements. However, this can be prevented. One way to counter this is to opt for pressure-treated lumber when building your shed or usinging some oil stains for non treated timbers. It is also important to keep your wooden shed clean, tidy and painted regularly. On average, a wooden shed can last for 20 to 25 years with proper care and maintenance.

Short answer is no. They are indeed very weather tight, and are suitable for the purpose being a garden shed, storing those types of items. We have a weatherwrapping option where we use a membrane inbetween the framing and walls. Wooden Sheds also have less condensation than their tin counterparts. I just wouldn't commit to saying 100% yes on this.

Basic care and maintenance involve keeping it clean, tidy, and dry. For more tips, follow our resource page: How to Take Care of your Backyard Wooden Shed

A well-maintained shed can last for 20 to 25 years on average

Yes, but not as much as tin sheds. After the inital drying out period you will see alot less condensation if any. It is a good idea to have it in a sunny spot. Condensation happens when weather elements such as water and heat get into your shed, causing moisture in the air. A way to prevent this is to keep your shed dry, insulated, well-ventilated, and water or leak-proof as possible.
