Below is a brief overview of how some of the key points of this garden storage fairs across the market.
Cladding
The overlap board cladding(walls) used here is the worst form of construction for garden storage walls out of the 7 types [3] we’ve identified on same-size garden storage, that you’ll also see getting used on 2% (15 of 965) of all garden storage analysed [4], as well as being used on 6% (6 of 96) of the top 10% of garden storage [5]. You’ll also find the overlap board cladding showing up on 5% of 2′ x 3′ garden storage (3 in total) [6].
The walls are 8mm thick and we rate this the worst thickness out of the 5 found on same-size garden storage [7]. It is used on 1% of all garden storage [8] and after analysing the top 96 products that make up the top 10% of garden storage [9], we don’t find this thickness present on any of them. Further analysis shows us that out of all 2′ x 3′ garden storage this is the only one to use 8mm thick walls [10].

A 8mm thick roof boarding was used on this garden storage which is the worst thickness used for a roofing material out of 3 thicknesses identified on same-size garden storage [11]. 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. 3% of 2′ x 3′ garden storage (2 in total) use a 8mm 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 2 garden storage that have options that you might find a better fit if this is a concern you have.

1. Dip Treated: Dip treating is a temporary protective base coat treatment that is mainly designed to help protect the building during transit and for around one month after it is assembled. This water-based treatment is the least time-consuming and cheapest type of wood treatment. It involves dipping the wood in a protective water-based preservative and then leaving it to dry. The action of dipping is where ‘dip treatment’ comes from.
A dip-treated garden building is not considered fully treated with wood preservatives; it’s vital to re-treat your dip-treated building, preferably with a solvent-based (or oil-based) wood treatment. Then re-treat it on an annual basis using a solvent-based (or oil-based) wood treatment.
If you don’t want to treat something on an annual basis then a pressure treated wooden building might be a better option, this is where the wood undergoes a process called tanalisation (pressure treatment) during production. This is where the timber is submerged in specialist wood preservatives (such as Tanalith E, this is actually the origin of the word ‘tanalisation’), the wood then goes into a high pressure vacuum tank 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 Wood Protection Association has a good article/video on this. ↩
2. FSC Certified Timber: The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organisation that is “dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world’s forests.” When you see the FSC certification it means the forest where this wood was sourced from is being managed in a way that preserves biological diversity, while ensuring it sustains economic viability. FSC-certified forests are managed to strict environmental, social and economic standards. FSC certified timber is comparable to Certified Timber. ↩
