The Apex garden shed due to its roof shape will have more headroom in the centre whilst the pent garden shed has more headroom at the front. On the pent garden sheds I have built, the windows are situated on the high front of the shed which means that when you choose this design, it would be advisable to put your tools on the front side and store your tools and any other tools on the lower side. The next part of the process is to choose the materials with which you are going to manufacture the shed. For the purpose of this article I will employ a pent garden sheds design. Most materials used to make sheds are, in order of popularity; wood, metal & plastic. Each has their own unique characteristics however, my preferred material is wood. The reason I choose wood is that it is simple to work with and it fits into the garden much better than metal or plastic materials. When choosing whether to use a hardwood or softwood the simple answer is that softwood is much cheaper than hardwood. You must however try to find wood that has been treated as this will help protect the wood and although I suggest applying a coat of timber paint upon completion, it is impossible to treat the pent gardens sheds underside once it is built. In addition, if you use a wood that has been tantalised, a process by which preservative is forced into the wood as opposed to painting it on the wood; it will last for 20 years or more with no more than a coat of timber paint every two years or so. Another great advantage of using wood is that you can colour it to match any landscape design or garden furniture you have, enabling it to blend into your garden. As a result, this will enhance your garden so it looks more beautiful and natural. The best type of wood to use are weather board and cladding types of wood as they are the most economical while at the same time offering protection from the wet weather. To review, building your own pent garden sheds can be a lengthy process. Although it is good to know you built your shed it saves little money. Buying a ready to assemble shed from a reputable supplier has the added bonus of a manufacturer s warranty should the shed have any failings. I would suggest browsing sites to decide whether you can find pent garden sheds to fit your needs.
