  1. I would agree with Garden Sheds post. It's definitely best to maintain your wooden garden shed every few years for longevity. And it is key to invest in a good base. People are too quick to invest in the disposable consumption culture but this doesn't have to be the case- there are many good quality garden buildings that aren't too expensive. My advice would be to buy a tongue and grooved garden shed as standard as overlap simply won't last as long. Another tip would be to get a base filled with pea gravel or something similar to aid drainage under the building and prevent damp from building-up. Metal sheds can also be good and there are many metal sheds on the market that are rust resistant. These are great garden buildings that are ultra strong.

  2. My tip would be to encourage people to take care of the shed they buy. With just a few hours of work a year you can keep a shed in near enough perfect condition for 10 years or more. Building a solid base is essential- there's nothing worse than getting a rotten shed just because you allowed grass/damp to attack the bottom of the shed (something you can't do much about unless you move the shed and redo it!). Retreat your shed every year if you can- not only does it make it look at good as new, for just a few hours work every year you save having to buy a new shed. Finally, keep checking that water is draining off the roof properly- hopefully it won't be neccassary to re-roof your shed, but if it needs doing then do it. From my experience the one thing that sheds hate is water!
