Description
8 x 6 Ready Painted Security Shiplap Apex Wooden Shed
The 8 x 6 Security Shiplap Apex Wooden Shed, ready painted in one of our six contemporary shades, is one of our best selling sizes of shed, providing perfectly ample additional space for items you wish to keep away from the home, whilst still being compact enough to fit in most gardens. Equipped with small security windows at height, these provide natural light whilst keeping belongings out of the way of easy view.
Shiplap sheds are created by cladding which comprises of several timber boards stacked on top of one another to form a seamless panel. With a groove at the top of each board, this encourages water run off and ensuring the interior remains dry as well as air tight.
Our shiplap sheds come with a tongue and groove roof and floor. Hard-wearing and robust, this flooring will easily withstand daily use, such as being utilised as a workshop, and is the ideal option for storing heavier items.
For added convenience, choose the ready-painted option, saving you time. We use high-quality, fully opaque paint for excellent durability and a low-maintenance finish. This paint not only enhances the look but also acts as a protective barrier against weather, UV rays, mold, and fungal growth. To help keep your shed looking its best, we include a 1L tin of paint for future touch-ups. Simply choose the colour that bests suits your style.
In addition, our shiplap sheds are modular in design. This means you can place the doors and windows in any position to suit you and your garden. Need the door right at the end of the shed? No problem! Want the windows all along one side? That’s easy!
Shiplap sheds from Waltons are manufactured from thick internal framing, meaning your shed will stand sturdy, tall and proud for many years to come.
Customisable Layout
Available in multiple sizes, our Shiplap sheds are versatile and customisable. Our shiplap sheds and workshops feature a modular design, allowing you to customise the placement of doors and windows to your liking and garden layout. Whether you prefer the door positioned at the end of the shed or windows lining a single side, anything is possible.
Apex Roof
Featuring a high apex roof-line, you’ll find there is plenty of headroom inside, ideal for storing taller items or utilising your shed as a workshop with plenty of space for spending hours tinkering away.
All Fixtures and Fittings
High quality roofing felt is supplied to protect your garden shed from the elements and provide longevity. In addition to this, all fixtures and fittings are supplied as standard and it also includes our comprehensive product instructions helping you install your new shed as quickly and easily as possible.
Security
This garden building comes complete with Z-braced doors and hasp and staple lock for your peace of mind.
Shiplap vs. Overlap
Overlap and Shiplap are essentially two different types of shed cladding. Cladding is simply the covering of your building. Overlap cladding is in the name, the boards overlap one another to create a traditional and rustic look. The overlapping design allows rainwater run-off and ensures your belongings are kept dry from the rain. This watertight design will protect from the wet British weather, however overlap cladding isn’t airtight. This means your shed could be susceptible to draughts and moisture.
Shiplap cladding consists of multiple boards of timber which create a flush panel. Shiplap cladding features a recess at the top of the individual boards which helps water run-off, offering protection against the elements. Not only is shiplap cladding watertight like overlap cladding, but it also has the added benefit of being airtight, meaning belongings are much less at the risk of draughts and dampness. This means shiplap sheds are an ideal choice if you intend on spending time in your shed, as a workshop for example, or are planning to store items that could not risk coming into contact with any moisture. Another added benefit is its aesthetically pleasing smooth exterior, coupled with smooth interior panels, creating a high standard of finish both on the inside and outside of the building. This gives a more premium feel to your garden.
