1. The shiplap tongue & groove cladding used on this garden storage is one the best available for garden storage rated by our experts.
Below is a brief overview of how some of the key points of this garden storage fairs across the market.
Cladding
The shiplap tongue & groove cladding(walls) used here is one of the best forms of construction for garden storage walls out of the 7 types [1] we’ve identified on same-size garden storage, that you’ll also see getting used on 8% (76 of 965) of all garden storage analysed [2], as well as being used on 33% (32 of 96) of the top 10% of garden storage [3]. Even though the Expert Score of this particular garden storage is 5 points below that of the average shiplap tongue & groove clad 2′ x 2’s (they have an average Expert Score of 87), with it being on 33% 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 12% of 2′ x 2′ garden storage (6 in total) [4].
The walls are 12mm thick and we rate this an about average thickness out of the 2 found on same-size garden storage [5]. It is used on 7% of all garden storage [6] and is also used across 24% of the top 10% of garden storage [7] we analysed. 10% of 2′ x 2′ garden storage (5 in total) use 12mm thick walls [8].

While you’ll find that the Expert Score of this garden storage is 8 points lower than the average for 2′ x 2’s that use osb roof material (82 vs the average of 90), you can be sure it’s not due to the roofing as this one of the highest scoring materials found on 2′ x 2′ garden storage. 6% of 2′ x 2′ garden storage (3 in total) use osb construction for the roof.
A 8mm thick roof boarding was used on this garden storage which is the worst thickness used for a roofing material out of 2 thicknesses identified on same-size garden storage [10]. It’s used on 2% of all garden storage with a further analysis of the top 10% of garden storage (96 in total) showing us that none of them use a roof of this thickness.

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.

We found at least 3 garden storage that have options that you might find a better fit if this is a concern you have.

1. Untreated: Any wooden structure that is left untreated will have its lifespan dramatically shortened. This is especially the case with Douglas fir or European softwoods such as Whitewood (spruce) or Redwood (Pine), most garden buildings sold in the UK are made from such wood.
The Wood Protection Association says that “the risk of attack increases significantly if the moisture content of wood, for any reason, rises above 20%” they also talk about how more lower durability cuts of wood (known as sapwood) are getting used to build with than in years gone by. They also say that “sapwood on the other hand is a source of food for many species of fungi and insects and is always vulnerable to attack.” This risk is particularly prevalent with European softwoods.
The BS 8417 code of practice (this advises on the choice of timber species and the use and application of wood preservatives) and BS EN 350:2016 (this advises on methods for determining and classifying the durability of wood and wood-based materials against biological wood-destroying agents) says the natural durability class of such European softwoods is between 3 and 5. With class 3 listed as moderately durable, class 4 listed as slightly durable and class 5 listed as not durable. All three classes have a service life of less than 15 years in a frequently wet environment (such as a UK garden). Yet the application of a preservative treatment or modification of lower durability species is designed according to BS8605 part1 (this is the British standards specifications for external timber cladding) to extend service life to 15/30 years or more.
Having a wooden garden structure supplied as untreated is relatively rare. The vast majority of wooden buildings are supplied with some form of basic treatment, usually a short term water based dip treatment. If you buy an untreated wooden building/structure then we strongly advise that you treat it annually with a solvent-based wood treatment. For full penetration it requires 2-3 coats. It is also recommended that you treat the inside of the structure as well.
If you are wanting something that will require much less maintenance throughout the products life cycle then we would strongly suggest looking at something that is pressure treated also known as tanalised timber.
By correctly treating timber you can take a sub 15 year service life for a not very durable European softwood and extend its service life to 15/30 years or more according to the Timber Decking and Cladding Association. ↩
