Standard Sheds

For those who need a sturdy and reliable garden store, a standard shed is fantastic. It will typically be made of shiplap cladding, which provides greater weatherproofing than a value shed. Look for sheds that are constructed from superior grade 12mm shiplap tongue and groove cladding and with strong rounded 4 corner framing, making it ideal for storing garden basics like furniture, tools, and equipment.

Premium Loglap Sheds

A premium shed is ideal if you need improved storage or if you intend to spend a lot of time there. They are expertly constructed with high-quality materials, including high grade solid timber cladding and attractive tongue and groove timber roof and floorboards. A premium shed is perfect for storing bigger, heavier objects, making it a great workshop or garage that will last for many years to come

Pressure Treated Sheds

There are also pressure treated 'tanalised' sheds that offer guaranteed protection from the elements with their extra thick 16mm shiplap cladding. They hold up well in harsh weather and don't require as much maintenance.

Log Cabins

For those seeking the highest calibre shed available, log cabin shelters are perfect. This shed is a preferable option due to its thick timber walls and heavy-duty tongue and groove roof and floor boards. Ideal for year-round usage as a workshop, hobby room, or luxury storage area.

Value Sheds

Value sheds are the most affordable sheds on the market; they are often made with roughly finished, thinner 9mm overlap timber cladding and constructed with a thinner shed frame and styrene (plastic) windows. Tiger do not offer inferior styrene windows. The flooring on cheaper sheds quite often is OSB (orientated strand board) to keep the price down. The cons of OSB is that the sheets swell up when exposed to water and damp conditions making the shed more vulnerable to rot and decay. A value shed is good for storing general garden equipment, but it wouldn't be the best option if you wanted it to last for many years, store expensive tools or spend a lot of time in the shed.
