Our experts say this has 2 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 garden storage is one the best available for garden storage rated by our experts.

2. A pressure treated treatment like the one used on this garden storage 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 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 6 types [3] 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 [4], as well as being used on 33% (32 of 96) of the top 10% of garden storage [5]. Even though the Expert Score of this particular garden storage is 1 point below that of the average shiplap tongue & groove clad 4′ x 3’s (they have an average Expert Score of 98), 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 3% of 4′ x 3′ garden storage (2 in total) [6].

The walls are 12mm thick and we rate this an about average thickness out of the 5 found on same-size garden storage [7]. It is used on 7% of all garden storage [8] and is also used across 24% of the top 10% of garden storage [9] we analysed. Further analysis shows us that out of all 4′ x 3′ garden storage this is the only one to use 12mm thick walls [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. 3% of 4′ x 3′ garden storage (2 in total) use a 8mm thick roof boarding, with this product having an Expert Score 5% higher than average.

You Might Also Consider

We found 29 4′ x 3′ garden storage with comparable specifications. The Shiplap Pent Garden Store Pressure Treated has an Expert Score that is 10% higher than average and is £202 more expensive than average. If you are looking for the best value or highest expert scoring garden storage out of the 29 with comparable specifications the following might be of interest.

Best value – If you are looking for something comparable that costs less, then you could save £701 with this 6′ x 2′ Forest Xtra Large Log Store. It is priced at £170, this is 412% less than this and has an Expert Score of 92, 5 points less than the Shiplap Pent Garden Store Pressure Treated.

Highest Expert Score – With an Expert Score of 100 vs 97 for this product, the Forest Garden 6 x 2ft Timber Log Store with Tool Storage is the best 4′ x 3′ garden storage with comparable specifications, and is priced at £255, that’s £616 less than the Shiplap Pent Garden Store Pressure Treated.

High Wind Area – If you live in a particularly exposed or high wind area then having a garden storage with a thicker cladding and higher than average frame thickness can be preferable. We found at least 2 garden storage that have a combination of features that can make them more suited to higher wind areas.

Coastal Consideration – If you live in a particularly wet or harsher environment such as by the coast then you might want to consider something with a more robust pressure treatment or something made from metal or plastic, both materials that are particularly suited to such harsh environments. We’ve found at least 3 garden storage that have a combination of features that can make them more suited to higher wind areas.

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 garden storage 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 1 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. 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
