Buying A Workshop? | Ten Questions To Ask Before Deciding
Platinum Fareham Gable Roof Buildings
These buildings need to be seen to see how good they are. Beauty is in the ‘eye of the beholder’ and this is certainly true with wooden workshops. However, there’s no substitute for viewing these buildings in person so you can see the attention to detail given to them.Add in the free assembly of these buildings saving you time and money and you will see what amazing value they are. Take a look at our feedback from previous customers.
Don’t Buy On Price Alone
When choosing a new wooden workshop or garden workshop for storage you need to do a lot of homework (a little like being back at school) to ensure that your new building will meet your needs in terms of quality, construction and value. Scrutinise the very high specifications below beforehand.By doing so you will see that these buildings are unbeatable for quality. They are 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?
Types and Styles of Garden Shed and Choosing the Right One
When buying a garden building it’s important that you buy one which will suit you and your garden so rather than compromising we offer a very large range of styles which should suit all situations. However, if our standard styles of sheds don’t fit YOUR bill please let us know and we will endeavour to accommodate you. After all it is YOUR new shed so you should call the shots, so to speak.

| 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.
