Tongue & Groove (T&G) –This stands for Tongue and Groove. This is where the boards are interlocked to form a strong seal

CLS Framing – Timber used in CLS framing has a better quality finish with smoother surface and edges. Kiln-dried, dressed timber
Sarking – Non-T&G boarding, with planks laid alongside each other forming a butt-joint
Plywood – Type of wood created by combining a number of thin layers of wood with glue to create a thicker, stronger, and flexible piece of wood.

Treatment:

All Forestcraft sheds are fully dipped in ‘Golden Chestnut’ water based treatment. For extra long shed life we recommend further coating with an oil-based product.

Preparing ground for a shed base:

All that is required for a shed base is that the ground is flat and level.
We will also need access to the area where the shed is to be erected.
Where a shed is to be erected next to a wall we recommend leaving a small gap to allow access for maintenance.
Forestcraft can arrange for a paved base to be laid using 2ft X 2ft slabs – please contact us with any enquiries.
