Description & Spec
Construction Explained
The Dura-Shed 8ft x 6ft (2.43m x 1.82m) Apex Cabin is an attractive and practical British shed and is traditionally manufactured from high grade timber.
Framed on 2" x 2" (45mm x 45mm) shiplap timbers this functional shed is exceptionally strong and as standard it has a four fixed morticed and tennoned windows, two to the front and one to each side and a fully framed door fitted with a piano hinge and pad bolt for added security. The windows are glazed with 3mm horticultural glass to provide the log cabin with insulation.
The shed is treated inside and out with a honey brown basecoat which is easy to topcoat after installation (a factory applied topcoat is available). Both the apex roof and the floor are constructed with 12mm timber tongue and grooved boards and the shed comes complete with fixing kit and roof felt. Installation requires a flat, level, square and firm base. This shed is essential for general storage of your bicycles, garden furniture, or gardening tools.
This shed can be supplied either untreated or with a topcoat and also comes with an option for installation, a highly useful and time-saving service.

Shiplap tongue and groove
Shiplap tongue and groove is a joining method where two pieces of wood are slotted together in a weatherproof joint, giving your Dura-Shed 8ft x 6ft (2.43m x 1.82m) Apex Cabin increased rain deflection.
Standard roof felt
Standard roof felt will give the Dura-Shed 8ft x 6ft (2.43m x 1.82m) Apex Cabin a durable and waterproof roof covering. It’s a proven roofing system that will last you through the years.
Apex
A apex roof consists of two sloping sides that meet at a point and provides room inside for storing garden parasols, ladders, or sports kit overhead.
Tongue and groove
Tongue and groove relates to a joining method where a one panel slots into another, forming a weatherproof joint for your Dura-Shed 8ft x 6ft (2.43m x 1.82m) Apex Cabin.
Basecoat
A base coat is the perfect starting point for protecting your shed. The treatment seals and evens out differences in the porosity and density of the wood.
Roofing Felt
Roofing felt will dramatically increase the longevity of your timber garden building. The felt will help prevent moisture from entering the Dura-Shed 8ft x 6ft (2.43m x 1.82m) Apex Cabin whilst also providing a layer of insulation.
FSC Timber
FSC timber gives the Dura-Shed 8ft x 6ft (2.43m x 1.82m) Apex Cabin a high quality build from timber that has been managed responsibly. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) approves this with a global forest certification system.
