All buildings are supplied untreated
but all are available with a pressure treated option, this means you do
not have to treat you building for the first 10 years. If you have an
untreated building then you should treat all areas which cannot be
reached after installation such as corners and tongue and groove parts,
with a quality preservative. Once installed it is advisable to treat
your building both inside and outside within 4 weeks with both a primer
and a finish. This must be repeated every few years to keep you building
looking fantastic.

market for you to design the garden building of your dreams.
