Tiger Sheds offers buildings made from both pressure-treated timber and timber that requires treatment after installation. Whether a building is pressure treated depends on the specific product and range you choose.
Understanding this before purchasing helps ensure you are aware of the care requirements for your chosen building.
What does pressure treated mean?
Pressure-treated (tanalised) timber has preservatives forced deep into the wood under pressure. This helps protect the timber against rot and decay and provides long-lasting internal protection.
Do pressure-treated buildings still need care?
Yes. While pressure treatment provides enhanced protection:
It does not make the building maintenance-free
Ongoing inspection and general care are still required
Additional surface treatments may still be recommended over time
Correct installation and maintenance are essential to maximise lifespan and maintain guarantee coverage.
How do I know which applies to my building?
The product description will confirm whether a building is pressure treated and what care is required. Full treatment and maintenance guidance is available in the Maintenance & Care section.
