Don’t Buy On Price Alone
When choosing a new workshop for your garden you need to check out thoroughly the specifications of it. Examine the very high specifications below to ensure any prospective purchase meets the very high standards of the Platinum Southampton apex.
By doing so you will see that these buildings are unbeatable for quality. They may be more expensive than a ‘run of the mill’ building but no corners are cut when making it. NEVER made ‘down to a price’. You MAY save some money but will you get what you really want?
Examine The Quality
Types and Styles of Garden Shed and Choosing the Right One
WALLS
Sturdy 47mm x 47mm (45mm x 45mm finished) diagonally braced framework clad with your choice of:
• 19mm (15mm finished) T&G Shiplap
• 19mm (15mm finished) T&G Loglap
FLOOR
18mm Heavy duty moisture-resistant Caberboard set on 47mm x 47mm pressure treated floor joists.
ROOF
The roof itself is constructed from 16mm (12mm finished) T&G matchboard on sturdy roof purlins and covered with a heavy duty polyester based roofing felt. On apex models we offer an option of cedar shingles or long life felt tiles if you prefer something a little more decorative.
HEIGHTS
There is a generous internal eaves height of 1.95m (6’ 5”) raising to the high wall of 2.17m (7’ 1”). All external roof heights – up to 3.6m (12’) gable – comply with the 2.5m maximum height restriction imposed when erecting a building under Permitted Development.
DOORS
All doors are joinery made and fully framed, ledged and braced for long life and increased security. These are hung on 0.6m (2’) wide heavy hook and band hinges and the door(s) fitted with a 5 lever mortice lock and handle. A metal threshold is provided on all models to prevent wear and tear and to increase weatherproofing and security. On buildings with a gable (or pent) end up to and including 2.1m (7’) the door will be 0.76m x 1.77m (2’ 6” x 6’ 10”) whilst on larger models these will be supplied with a 1.5m x 1.77m (5’ x 6’ 10”) wide double door unless requested otherwise. Double doors can be fitted in walls of 2.1m (7’) width or greater.
WINDOWS
There is a choice of four window styles: Classic (larger panes with at least one opening sash), Georgian (small square panes – all fixed), Security (short high-level ‘pillar box’ style) or alternatively the building can be supplied without windows. The precise number of panes will vary depending upon the exact building size and door/window configuration. All glass is toughened for safety.
