Refurbishing An Old Garden Shed

This time of the year is ideal for getting finished some of the jobs which are difficult to get to during the gardening season.
The one that can easily get ignored and forgotten about is the replacement or refurbishment of the garden shed.
The replacement is an obvious choice when the old shed has reached the end of its natural life and the most difficult thing is to decide which shed to buy.
There are many new models on the market so it is worthwhile examining what is best for you.
The refurbishment option is a little more difficult, sheds of all makes last much longer and look a lot better with a little loving care and this time can be a time when the shed can be updated.
Whichever option is being considered the manufacturers have changed some of the options which can be considered both for a new or a refurbished shed.
Considering some of the latest additions to the market it can be seen that these have enabled the manufacturer to make the sheds look a lot better as well as making them better able to survive the rough or sunny weather.
For many years now sheds have had a roof which is a basic wood construction and the weather proofing has been carried out by means of a mineral or water resistant felt.
This material is very good but it does need to be kept in good order and may well need replacing in due course.
Lately there have been a number of sheds with a felt tile roof construction.
The felt tiles look good but still have a few problems.
More recently the manufacturers have produced sheds with a wooden shingle roofs, the shingles or tiles are made from cedar and give an excellent finish to the shed.
They will require retreating on a regular basis as the roof receives both the worst of the wind and also gets the full intensity of the sun.
They do have a potentially long life if treated correctly but their appearance completely changes the shed.
The latest wood treatments are interesting with the introduction of White Ash and some of the faded green colours can give a whole new look to the shed.
Whether it is a new or old wooden building or even a recently purchased building that you would like to change the appearance of, then check with the shed manufacturer and see just what he can supply to help you.
