BillyOh Hyper Store Tongue and Groove Pent Garden Storage Unit Inc Floor

Shed Type and Roof and Size

This is a storage unit and it has a pent roof. The pent roof is a high quality addition to any storage unit for a couple of reasons. The first is all about rainwater. A good pent roof can prevent rainwater from gathering and causing problems. It simply allows rainwater to run off. In fact, we have seen many buildings saved by the addition of a pent roof.

The pent roof also allows for easier storage. There Is added height due to a pent roof being included, and this means better storage of taller tools.

As regards measurements, the unit has a 216 cm in width measurement, and a 120 cm depth measurement. Internally, something is lost as the width goes down to 205 cm.

Cladding and frame and floor

The manufacturer has done some good work here when it comes to cladding. The cladding is tongue and groove and this means that you have lots of stability and durability in the outer shell of the building. This cladding is carefully created so that it is seamless and has full watertight protection. Planks of wood are locked together with the tongue and groove fitting, and therefore have much more strength and durability. It’s the best cladding you can have, and we were really pleased to see it on this building.

Things go downhill a little bit compared to the cladding when we look at the floor. The flooring is solid sheet materials. This is by no means the worst material you can have on the floor, but if you plan on storing heavy items, it may be worthwhile considering whether or not you will be able to replace this particular material. Tongue and groove would be more suitable for heavier items, and will not bow or buckle. Solid sheet materials are reasonably strong, but if you are looking at heavier items this may not be the flooring for you.

Treatment requirement and warranty

The manufacturer has helped you out here by giving you a full pre-treatment at the factory. This is excellent news, and it means that your building will arrive ready to be fixed up and it will already have the treatment that protects it all year round. This means less work for you, as you will not have to treat it when you receive the building.

Doors and windows

Obviously, it’s a security storage unit so there are no windows. But the double doors are of great quality and very heavy. They open up to a width of 146.5 cm, which is a great advantage if you are planning on storing bigger and bulkier items.

Security and privacy

The unit does come with a turn button for security, but if you want to ramp it up a little bit you can always opt for a padlock that you can easily fit yourself.

The lack of windows does help with security, because there is less there to tempt any intruders.

Customisation options

There are plenty of customisation options, from shelving that goes all around the building all the way up to buying padlock and padlock protectors. But we think one of the best customisation options that the manufacturer offers is the ability to colour your building according to your requirements. You can colour the trim and the walls quite easily, and the prices are not prohibitive.
