  Why Buy Cedarshed Gazebos & Garden Buildings ?
  • Cedarshed Gazebos & Garden Buildings feature REAL CEDAR SHINGLES giving them their unique appearance.
  • The finish is a mixture of sawn and planed surfaces which adds to the design giving the structures great character & charm.
  • The sawn-board panels have a rich variety of colour and texture, which is a key feature in the designed appearance.
  • The 'Tongue & Groove' inner roof lining of the Gazebos has a lively and rich appearance created by the colour, grain and features of the CEDAR used.
  • CEDAR is naturally durable, the tannin and natural oils in the wood are toxic to insects and resistant to decay, and occur naturally courtesy of 'Mother Nature'.
  • There are no "man made" toxic chemicals with CEDAR. Helping to eliminate pollution of the environment.
  • The most common preservatives currently in use contain Copper, Chrome & Arsenic, which will ALL stay in the environment for many, many years.
  • Unlike preservative treated timber, there is no need to treat cut ends or holes for screws & fixings, in CEDAR.
  • The framing of Cedarshed buildings is mostly 2" x 3" [nominal] giving increased strength & performance.
  • Cedarshed Shingle Roofing also has a layer of waterproof 'felt' for added protection.
  • All buildings come with a solid CEDAR floor.
  • Gazebo Decks are made from 2" x 4" [nominal] CEDAR, giving a really strong and substantial base.
  • Many garden buildings are only dip treated in toxic chemicals, or are even left untreated - CEDAR does not need treating.
  • Untreated CEDAR will weather naturally to a beautiful silver - grey.
  • To retain the original colouration of CEDAR, a wood finish should be applied, CEDAR also takes paint finishes very well.
  • Cedarshed buildings should be kept out of ground contact by installing on strategically placed patio slabs. This increases underfloor ventilation, adding to the life of the structure, and makes leveling relatively easy and inexpensive, no need to install a solid concrete base.
