|
I am after a new shed to match my existing one, having browsed the forums and the web for a few hours i found
http://www.tigersheds.com/products/tiger-shiplap-pent-shed-9
It looks much better quality than most of the competitors (most have OSB floors/roofs) but i have never heard of them before so was wondering if anybody here has any experience of them ?
Thanks in advance

"THIS building features thick tongue and grooved floorboard in the floor and roof sections and contains NO cheap sheet materials such as OSB or chipboard – beware of buildings that use single piece OSB / chipboard roofs that offer little protection in the areas where you need it most."
Looks good (i'm after a shed too  )
Grrrr: delivery excludes EX postcodes .... That shed is pants, load of rubbish, fall apart, etc etc

Full Text from Steves Link....
"The Tiger Shiplap Pent wooden shed is a classic pent style building in high quality tongue and groove shiplap cladding. This simple but very popular garden building is hardwearing enough to last for years and will provide an outdoor storage or work area suitable for garden or other valuable equipment. The massive internal storage space can be accessed through a large well braced single door and stylish windows are supplied as standard. The Tiger Shiplap Pent is constructed from secure and robust superior grade shiplap cladding which has been made from selected European softwoods and is protected with a red cedar water based treatment. The interior is further strengthened by the use of 28x44mm rounded four corner framework throughout and is fitted with a high security lock as standard. This makes the Tiger Shiplap Pent an excellent and aesthetically pleasing product which provides ideal storage space for any garden. The roof of the Tiger Shiplap Apex is covered with a layer of heavy duty green mineral felt for additional protection.
BEWARE OF CHEAP IMITATION BUILDINGS:
Unlike many budget competitor products this building is built with only the highest quality materials and many garden buildings in the market simply cannot compare!
THIS building is clad with high grade 12mm finish shiplap tongue and groove cladding – beware of buildings that feature poorly finished rough edged boards milled out of inferior timber often with a thinner finish.
THIS building features heavyweight ‘rounded 4 corner’ 28x44mm finish framework throughout giving it the strength to last – beware of buildings that use rough sawn ‘matchstick thin’ framework that barely hold the building together.
THIS building features thick tongue and grooved floorboard in the floor and roof sections and contains NO cheap sheet materials such as OSB or chipboard – beware of buildings that use single piece OSB / chipboard roofs that offer little protection in the areas where you need it most.
THIS building retains our extra high ridge height – beware of buildings that are incredibly low making it difficult to stand up inside.
It is essential that this building is assembled strictly in accordance with the instructions supplied on a firm and level base constructed from a suitably durable material. It should also be treated shortly after assembly and then annually thereafter with an appropriate high quality preservative and all glazing units must be sealed, inside and out, with silicone or other water tight sealant.
For more information on how to correctly assemble and maintain your garden building please consult our comprehensive help centre.
All images and photography used is purely for illustrative purposes only – actual product colours may vary slightly due to the digital photography process and variations in individual user monitor settings."

so what you reckon, Big-All? good deal? It sounds like it should be very well constructed?

my shed is constructed from 12mm txg shiplap so that bits great although they dont say if its txg shiplap on your shed!!!
12mm for the floor is ok but 9 or 12mm ply on top if you plannning to use as a workshop or store a motorbike
if you are planning a workshop anything less than 8x10 is impossibly small
a 6x7 could be as little as 5x6ft if they take the measurements from the edges of the roof
you will loose around 6" if they measure from the outside wall assuming your cladding the inside
you need around a clear area of 2 to 2ft6" to walk and work around in the centre so not much usefull space at the sides

I went for this one in the end, they said delivery in 7 days. Because i ordered it over the bank holiday it took around 10-11 days i think, when they did deliver it they gave me a 2 hour time slot which i thought was pretty good and they were bang on time. Nothing missing all in good order. Bargain in my opinion.
The plastic windows were a bit poor but a trip to my local glazers and 2 panes of georgian wire for a tenner and they are spot on, will update with some pictures later on as im off to bed now |

Hi,
Thats good to hear. I think I'm going to order one of the bigger ones. I'm looking for something 10 x 8 that I can make secure (relatively for a shed that is). It'll be my sole outdoor store. This caught my eye
http://www.tigersheds.com/products/tiger-heavyweight-workshop-|-special-log-board-cladding-128
Any opinions on quality and price???
Many Thanks in advance.
