Roofs: | These Fareham apex roofed workshops are made from solid 19mm (15mm finished thickness) T&G timber and then covered with the Superb Onduline roofing sheets. These roof sheets are designed for very long life with expected 15 years worry free time against leaking.

Corner Strips: | These Platinum Fareham apex buildings are finished off with ‘Wrap Around’ corner strips for extra protection to the end grain of the timber and for a smarter finish.
