12mm Deal (Pine) cladding for Ludlow sheds

This picture illustrates the planed, tongued and grooved Deal ( pine ) cladding generally used on our Ludlow sheds.

This is treated with a wash of quality wood preserver both inside and out before it leaves the factory. This ensures that the treatment reaches into the end grain and between the tongued and grooved sections.

20mm Deal ( Pine ) cladding for Ludlow Sheds

Our standard cladding on Ludlow 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 Ludlow 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 Ludlow sheds

This picture illustrates the cedar cladding used on a large proportion of our Ludlow 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 Ludlow shed with a wash of quality wood preserver before it leaves the factory thus ensuring it gets off to a great start in life !

Ludlow Heavy Duty shed door

This picture illustrates the strength of a Ludlow 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 shed, the door is identical on the Ludlow Heavy Duty Sheds.

Stable door for Ludlow Heavy Duty sheds

This is a popular option with our Ludlow Heavy Duty 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 !

Heavy Duty shed floors

This photo may look a little boring but it illustrates a couple of important points. Firstly, the floors in our Ludlow 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 !

Ludlow shed door furniture

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

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

Ludlow Heavy Duty shed framing

Ludlow 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.

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.
