However we can make buildings to a special size (i.e) 36' X 12' but you will have to inform us of this!

Maintenance
We Recommend applying a good quality wood Preserver approx every 18 months or so. Also seal all external panel joints with a water proof mastic sealant.
All buildings are supplied only with a base coat treatment as a temporary measure (this is not a waterproofer). Once erected we strongly recommend that you give your building 2/3 extra coats of a good quality wood preserver/water repeller. These are available from builders merchants and ideally the better products are those containing silicones and waxes. We also recommend sealing up all joints with a waterproof mastic sealant. Timber being a natural product is subject to movement i.e, shrinkage, warping, splitting, knot holes etc may occur, therefore we cannot guarantee againt this.
