Hi I was about to pull the trigger on buying a Tiger 7x5 Apex shed as the build quality and reviews look good, but then I realised it isn't pressure treated. Realistically, I can't see myself bothering to recoat the shed every year so should I consider pressure treated as a must-have? I've...

Hi I have a 1980s garage with a corrugated cement asbestos roof. The roof looks to be in good shape to me from the inside, but there are significant leaks coming from where the sheets overlap. I can't figure out why as there are no obvious cracks. I am wondering though whether the moss on the...
