A Platinum Southampton Sectional Building is so much more than any other timber building. The sturdy frame and maintenance free Onduline roof covering provide a long-lasting home for all your gardening tools whilst the toughened glass opening windows ensure a comfortable place to work.
Often used as a craft or hobby room it would be equally at home used as a garden games room for more leisurely activities.
Choose from three different pressure treated cladding finishes and a large variety of sizes and specifications to suit your space and budget requirements.
Each building comes with a set of wide double doors for easy access and ample windows. The number of window sets will vary depending on the size of the building but these, like the doors, are positioned to suit: a fully bespoke building at an ‘off the peg’ price.
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 buildings. However, there’s no substitute for viewing these buildings ‘in the flesh’ so you can see the attention to detail given to these buildings.
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 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?
