Heavy Duty Pent 10 x 6

Here's an unusual picture which demonstrates just how robust our Heavy Duty sheds are ... this was taken in January 2012 at our Edinburgh showsite after 102mph winds ripped down surrounding trees and deposited them onto our premises !

Here the 10 x 6 Pent shed carries the substantial weight of this fallen fir tree. It doesn't take much imagination to figure out why Heavy Duty is best !

12mm Deal ( Pine ) cladding for heavy duty sheds

Our standard cladding on Heavy Duty sheds is 12mm deal ( pine ). This is treated with a wash of quality wood preserver both inside and out before it leaves the factory.

20mm Deal ( Pine ) cladding for heavy duty sheds

Our standard cladding on Heavy Duty sheds is 12mm deal ( pine ). This is treated with a wash of quality wood preserver both inside and out before it leaves the factory.

Illustrated here is the 20mm thick cladding option. Some customers prefer this as the shed walls are considerably thicker and allow some items to be mounted on the boards. In very windy locations it also makes what is already a very sturdy building heavier and less prone to damage.

Pressure treated cladding for heavy duty sheds

Pressure treatment is literally that : all components of the building are placed in a large pressurised cylinder which forces the preservative deep into the timber. The formulation of the preservative gives the pressure treated heavy duty sheds their green / yellow hue which complements so many gardens.

Good looks and an extended lifetime are the main benefits of choosing pressure treated cladding.

Cedar cladding for Heavy Duty sheds

This picture illustrates the cedar cladding used on a large proportion of our Heavy Duty sheds. Cedar is known for its long life and good looks. It has its own natural oils in the timber which makes it very resistant to rot. Despite this we still pre-treat your Heavy Duty shed with a wash of quality wood preserver before it leaves the factory thus ensuring it gets off to a great start in life !

Workbench for Heavy Duty sheds

Illustrated here is the 15inch wide workbench available as an option with Malvern Heavy Duty sheds.

Sturdily built in preservative treated timber, the workbench allows you to maximise the use of your shed from day one !

Joinery-made windows for Heavy Duty sheds

Look carefully at this picture and you will see the quality of manufacture of these windows from one of our Heavy Duty sheds.

Each window is pre-glazed at the factory. The glass in this particular window is kite marked as it is glazed with toughened safety glass which is optional with all Heavy Duty Malvern Sheds.

Also illustrated are the casement stays which enable the window to be pegged open to suit you.

Heavy Duty Shed door

This picture illustrates the strength of a Malvern Heavy Duty shed door. Fully framed, ledged and braced, this 35" width door will not go out of square! It has a built-in 3 lever mortice lock for security.   Pictured here on a Heavy Duty Apex, the doors are exactly the same on the Heavy Duty Pents.

For additional security please see pictures below of our 'security pack' option.

Stable door for Heavy Duty sheds

This is a popular option with our Malvern Heavy Duty sheds. Pictured here on an Apex model, the principle is exactly the same for the Heavy Duty Pent sheds.

My favourite reason for choosing this option was a parent who wanted to keep his small children out while he used power tools in the shed... what a good idea !

Security pack for Malvern Heavy Duty sheds

All Malvern Heavy Duty sheds have a three lever mortice lock fitted as standard. For additional security you may choose our Security Pack.

This includes a Padlock Protector ( which is bolted into place ), a padlock, and hinges fitted with non-reversible screws which also have a dome bolt through the centre of each section of the hinge.

Heavy Duty Shed door furniture

Black japanned door handles and hinges in antique style are standard fittings with our Heavy Duty sheds.

Also well illustrated in this picture is the 3 lever mortice lock.

Weatherstrips for Heavy Duty Pent Sheds

This picture shows in detail the weatherstrips which are fitted over the windows on our Heavy Duty Pent sheds. These deflect water away from the hinges and help prevent water ingress.

Heavy Duty Shed floors

This photo may look a little boring but it illustrates a couple of important points. Firstly, the floors in our heavy duty sheds are made from real timber rather than from chipboard or other board products. Real timber lasts better and is more resistant to damp than any board products commonly used in other sheds. Secondly, you can see that the boards are nailed to the floor joists at 12 inch centres making these floors exceptionally strong. Thirdly, the floor is treated with a good quality preservative before it leaves the factory ensuring that it gives many years service ... after all, you can't get at the underside of the floor to re-treat it once installed !

Heavy Duty shed framing

Malvern Heavy Duty sheds have 2inch x 2inch framing throughout. This is exceptionally strong and gives structural rigidity to the whole building making it resistant to bad weather and ensuring many years of trouble free use.

The picture shows where the sides meet the roof ... which is constructed with real timber boarding rather than with chipboard or other board products sometimes used by other manufacturers.
