Tiger Sheds buildings are manufactured using high-quality spruce and pine timber, chosen for their strength, durability and suitability for garden buildings. These softwoods are widely used in the industry and provide an excellent balance of performance, appearance and longevity when correctly installed and maintained.
Why spruce and pine are used
Spruce and pine are well suited to garden buildings because they:
Offer strong structural performance
Are reliable and consistent in construction
Provide a clean finish for cladding, framing and log profiles
Respond well to protective treatments and ongoing care
As natural materials, spruce and pine will react to changes in temperature and humidity, which is normal and expected.
What to expect from timber over time
Because timber is a natural product, you may notice:
Expansion and contraction with weather changes
Natural grain patterns and characteristics
Gradual changes in appearance as the timber weathers
These characteristics are part of owning a timber building and do not indicate a fault when the building is correctly installed and maintained.
