Hi All,
I've recently bought a 10x6 T&G workshop shed which needs assembling on to a new concrete base.
When assembled, the shed will have the back and side close to the boundary fence, so I want to make sure its preserved as much as much as possible.
The shed was sold by Tiger sheds and has 'dip preservative', not sure how good this is, certainly not as good as trannalised pressure preservative.
My plan is to spray the outside with Barrettine oil & solvent based preserver or Everbuild Triple action wood treatment available at ToolStation.
Once dry, the shed would then be sprayed with Ronseal Fence Life plus.
I was thinking about placing a damp proof membrane on the concrete base to keep the base dry. Additionally I might add cellotex or similar under the floor to help keep the cold out, also to the inner walls and ceilings.
Does this sound like a reasonable approach?
The bike will will be used for storage of classic bikes and tools. I'm trying to keep condensation
out as much as possible.
All info welcome.
