BillyOh 6 x 4 Ashington Metal Garden Shed

BillyOh 6 x 4 Ashington Metal Garden Shed was £247.00 now £169.00
BillyOh Metal Sheds – Ashington Metal Shed 6′ x 4′. Our Ashington all steel, apex roof shed is the answer where garden space is limited, or on the caravan park where non-combustible sheds are mandatory. The deep roll formed wall and roof panels provide much improved strength when compared to shallow formed cladding of other steel sheds. The Ashington is probably the best looking small shed on the market offering over 2m2 inside floor space for storage. Pad-lockable, smooth, inside running sliding doors provide a spacious door opening. Hot Dipped Galvanised Steel . This metal shed is made throughout from quality, hot-dipped-galvanised steel – unlike most, competitive models using electro-galvanised steel that cannot provide the rust protection only hot-dipped galvanised steel can provide. Additionally, all painted parts are powder coated for a lasting, maintenance-free finish . Optional Metal Shed Tongue and Groove Base Information . A pre-made Tongue and Groove flooring constructed to take a greater load capacity and provide better damp proofing ensuring protection of your contents. If the tongue and groove base option is selected, woodscrews and washers must be used we cannot supply to attach the shed to the timber floor. Woodscrews go through the shed’s inner base rail holes with the washer for each screw securing adequate purchase between wood screw base rail timber floor. What is a Steel Foundation Kit and do I need one . It is a quick and easy way to create a suitable base for your metal shed after you have levelled your site and inserted a DPC Damp Proof Course below the foundation kit. It is manufactured using heavy-duty U channel framing, made from durable hot-dipped galvanized steel. The assembled foundation kit receives the shed base rails and flood out with concrete after the shed assembly is completed to give the perfect base. Please Note If you choose to purchase the wooden base option the steel shed is to be built and secured onto the wooden base and be secured down to the base using anchor screws not supplied . If the wooden base option is purchased the steel foundation kit is not compatible. Please Note The product or model name may differ on the packaging from that advertised however this does not affect the intrinsic product . Manufactured by BillyOh.com.
