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

Even though the Expert Score of this particular bin store is 9 points below that of the average shiplap tongue & groove clad 8′ x 2’s (they have an average Expert Score of 81), with it being on 50% 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 25% of 8′ x 2′ bin stores (2 in total) [5].
The walls are 12mm thick and we rate this an about average thickness out of the 2 found on same-size bin stores [6]. It is used on 6% of all bin stores [7] and is also used across 50% of the top 10% of bin stores [8] we analysed. Even though the Expert Score of this particular bin store is 9 points below the average 12mm clad 8′ x 2’s score of 81, the fact that 50% of the top 10% use a cladding this thick is reassuring as a sign of quality. 25% of 8′ x 2′ bin stores (2 in total) use 12mm thick walls [9].

Even though the Expert Score of this particular bin store is 9 points below the average of 81 for 8′ x 2’s using an osb roofing, with it being on 50% of the top 10%, you can be assured that this is a quality roof material. 25% of 8′ x 2′ bin stores (2 in total) use osb construction for the roof.
A 10mm thick roof boarding was used on this bin store which is an about average thickness used for a roofing material out of 2 thicknesses identified on same-size bin stores [11]. It’s used on 6% of all bin stores and 50% of the top 10% of bin stores. Even though the Expert Score of this particular bin store is 9 points below that of the average for 8′ x 2’s that use 10mm roofing (72 vs the average of 81), with it being on 50% of the top 10%, this should give you confidence in its quality. 25% of 8′ x 2′ bin stores (2 in total) use a 10mm thick roof boarding.
Mineral felt is used as the roof covering. Our experts say it’s one of the best roof covering materials, and is also the only kind identified on same-size bin stores [12].

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 bin stores 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. ↩
