Our verdict on the 14 x 7 Pressure Treated Tongue And Groove Pent Shed With 3 Windows And Side Door + Safety Toughened Glass

The 14 x 7 Pressure Treated Tongue And Groove Pent Shed With 3 Windows And Side Door + Safety Toughened Glass comes with a pent style roof, fit with double doors, and is treated using a pressure treated process [1]. The 3 windows used on this particular 14′ x 7′ use a styrene [2] glazing material (Thickness was not specified).

Base material: wood

Our experts say this has 3 stand out features. A stand out feature is something found on over 70% of the top 10% of products in a particular category or is an exceptionally good feature as rated by our panel of experts.

1. The shiplap tongue & groove cladding used on this shed is one the best available for sheds rated by our experts.

2. A 12mm thick cladding like the one used on walls of this shed is one of the best rated by our experts.

3. A pressure treated treatment like the one used on this shed is one our experts are happy to say is one of the best around.

Below is a brief overview of how some of the key points of this shed fairs across the market.

Cladding

Amazing, our experts say most of the cladding options used are among the best.

The shiplap tongue & groove cladding(walls) used here is one of the best forms of construction for shed walls out of the 4 types [3] we’ve identified on same-size sheds, that you’ll also see getting used on 31% (1,373 of 4,360) of all sheds analysed [4], as well as being used on 42% (185 of 436) of the top 10% of sheds [5]. Even though the Expert Score of this particular shed is 2 points below that of the average shiplap tongue & groove clad 14′ x 7’s (they have an average Expert Score of 87), with it being on 42% of the top 10%, its use here is a reassuring sign of a high quality cladding. You’ll also find the shiplap tongue & groove cladding showing up on 30% of 14′ x 7′ sheds (78 in total) [6].

The walls are 12mm thick and we rate this the best thickness out of the 10 found on same-size sheds [7]. It is used on 54% of all sheds [8] and is also used across 58% of the top 10% of sheds [9] we analysed. Even though the Expert Score of this particular shed is 2 points below the average 12mm clad 14′ x 7’s score of 87, the fact that 58% of the top 10% use a cladding this thick is reassuring as a sign of quality. 55% of 14′ x 7′ sheds (143 in total) use 12mm thick walls [10].

Roofing

Osb is the of construction method used for the roofing, our experts rate this one of the best forms of roof material out of the 3 types we’ve found on same-size sheds [11]. This roofing material is used on 18% of all sheds analysed, and 8% of the top 10% of sheds. While you’ll find that the Expert Score of this shed is 4 points lower than the average for 14′ x 7’s that use osb roof material (85 vs the average of 89), you can be sure it’s not due to the roofing as this one of the highest scoring materials found on 14′ x 7′ sheds. 13% of 14′ x 7′ sheds (35 in total) use osb construction for the roof.

A 8mm thick roof boarding was used on this shed which is the worst thickness used for a roofing material out of 12 thicknesses identified on same-size sheds [12]. It’s used on 5% of all sheds and 1% of the top 10% of sheds. 3% of 14′ x 7′ sheds (7 in total) use a 8mm thick roof boarding.

This type of floor construction is used on 20% of all sheds we analysed, and 5% of the top 10% of those sheds. 15% of 14′ x 7′ sheds (39 in total) use osb construction for the floor.

A 11mm thick floor boarding is used here, this is an about average floor board thickness according to our experts out of 11 found on same-size sheds [14]. It’s found on 9% of all sheds and used on 1% of the top 10% of sheds. 3% of 14′ x 7′ sheds (9 in total) use 11mm thick floor boarding.

Public-Facing – Extra security measures might be more of a concern if you’re placing your building in an area that is more public-facing than a garden. Features such as security windows or even having no windows at all, and the ability to lock all opening doors are usually much more important when you have something that is more public-facing. We found at least 3 sheds that have options that you might find a better fit if this is a concern you have.

More Child Friendly – If you have children and you are looking for something that has that little extra in terms of durability then tougher glazing options might be a better option. Here we have at least 3 other options that will fill those needs.

1. Pressure Treated: Considered the most durable wood treatment, this is where the wood undergoes a process called tanalisation. This is where the timber is submerged in specialist wood preservatives (such as Tanalith E, this is actually the origin of the word ‘tanalisation’), this is a unique combination of copper and organic biocide ingredients (it is the copper that gives the finished wood the slightly green colour). The wood then goes into a high pressure vacuum tank (the Wood Protection Association has a good article/video on this) to draw out excess moisture and air and force in the preservatives.

This deep penetration of the exterior wood protects it from the elements and all forms of insect attack. Wood treated this way can last many years without being re-treated. The BS 8417 code of practice (this advises on the choice of timber species and the use and application of wood preservatives) says “ penetration to either 6 mm (15 years) or 12mm (for 30 years) has to be achieved in any exposed surface in sawn material.”

It is also worth noting that if cross cutting, notching or boring treated timber during or after installation, ALWAYS apply an end grain solvent-based (or oil-based) wood preservative treatment to the freshly exposed areas, this will maintain the integrity of the protection. NEVER put cut ends in the ground, even if end grain coated. 

2. Styrene (Polystyrene (High Impact) HIPS): Styrene as it is commonly known or High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) is a very versatile form of plastic. It has a very wide range of uses but for garden buildings styrene is typically used as a budget option for windows.

Styrene is a shatter-resistant material, which is why it is ideal for situations where safety needs to be considered, such as playhouses. This benefit can be offset by a few other drawbacks, unfortunately styrene has a tendency to yellow over time (the technical term is Photoyellowing and it is caused by prolonged exposure to UV Light), the degradation of its polymers over time also causes it to become more brittle.

Another drawback of styrene is its thermal coefficient of expansion (it is 80 x 10-6), this is higher than most other glazing options. This means that as the material heats up and cools it can contract and expand more than other glazing options. This cycle can lead to a loose fit of windows over time.

According to data from the British Plastics Fedaration the physical properties of Styrene (Polystyrene (High Impact) are that it is not very good when exposed to high heat with a maximum continuous use temperature of between 60 to 80 °C. This is coupled with the fairly low range the Notched Impact Strength data shows of 10.0 – 20.0 Kj/m².
