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 [2] 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 [3], as well as being used on 42% (185 of 436) of the top 10% of sheds [4]. You’ll also find the shiplap tongue & groove cladding showing up on 36% of 7’x5′ sheds (135 in total) [5], and when taking the average Expert Score of those 7’x5′ sheds (90), the 7’x5′ Tiger Elite Pressure Treated Pent Shed is just above the average with an Expert Score of 92.

The walls are 16mm thick and we rate this the best thickness out of the 10 found on same-size sheds [6]. It is used on 2% of all sheds [7] and is also used across 3% of the top 10% of sheds [8] we analysed. While you’ll find that the Expert Score of this shed is 1 point lower than the average for 7’x5’s that use 16mm thick cladding (92 vs the average of 93) [9], you can be sure it’s not due to the cladding thickness as this one of the highest scoring thicknesses available on 7’x5′ sheds. 2% of 7’x5′ sheds (6 in total) use 16mm thick walls.

Even though the Expert Score of this particular shed is 1 point below that of the average for 7’x5’s that use 16mm roofing (92 vs the average of 93), you can be sure it’s not due to the roof thickness as this one of the highest scoring thicknesses available on 7’x5′ sheds. 1% of 7’x5′ sheds (5 in total) use a 16mm thick roof 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.
