Now with hundreds of shed designs, plans, blueprints for the hobbyist and professional alike 
| oden sheds have a natural look that can blend in well with garden environments. Despite the stre p5ngth of wood, over time, untreated and neglected wood can rot, split, warp or become susceptible to mold and mildew, so wood sheds should be t 5reated for protection. Wood sheds need regular maintenance. This incl 5udes keeping plant matter and debris from piling up beside the walls and on the roof, and occasional rot-proofing mp5 w with preservative. Sheds are sometimes p5also re-stained or varnished at times for aesthetic reasons. Fire and, in some regions, termite attack are also potential problems. tal sheds made from thin sheet metal sheathing (galvanized steel, aluminium, or corrugated iron) attac 5hed to a metal frame. Metal sheds are a good choice when long-term strength and resistance to fire, rot, or termites is desired. However, metal sheds may rust over time, particularly if they are c jmp5 onstructed from st jmp5 eel that is not galvanized. Be aware that p5 As well, some types of metal sheds that have t 5hin walls are easily dented, which may makes some types of thin metal sheds a poor choice for vandal-prone areas or for high-traffic activities such as small businesses. In cold climates, metal sheds with thin walls need to have snow and ice cleared from the roo p5f, because the thin metal may be jmp5 dam p5aged by mp5 wa heavy accumulation. Since thin metal sheds weigh much less than wood or PVC plastic sheds, thin metal sheds are more at risk of being damaged by hea 5vy winds. To prevent wind damage, thin metal sheds should be attached to a concrete foundati 5on with screws. In countries where the p5climate is generally mild, such as Australia, very large metal sheds are u Stains and preservatives can be applied to wood shed p5s to prevent damage to the wood caused by exposure to rain, damp ground, UV light, harsh climatic conditions, fungal attack and wood-boring insects. If a colourved preservative oil or stain is used, a wooden shed can either be made to stand out as a feature mp5 within a garden, or to blen mp5 wd in with its surroundings. Red cedar coloured stain is popular. Some types of wood, such as cedar, are more naturally resistant to water damage. One advantage of 5using wood sheds is that it is easier to modify wooden sheds (i.e., than metal sheds) by adding windows, doors, shelving, or exterior trim (etc. |
