100% Scandinavian timber Scandinavian timber is a lot different from native UK/Irish timber in terms of it’s quality & strength. Local timber is a far lower quality because it’s younger (generally 3-5 years as opposed to a min 15 years from Scandinavian), it’s therefore very soft (which means it will rot quite quickly, it’s like a sponge!!) + there are a large amount of knots in native timber which obviously weaken the timber and garden sheds. All our timber is all planed again throughout (in the sawmill) it means that the timber is smooth. This is not just good for handling purposes but also because it’s smooth it will not absorb water into it unlike rough timer will. Rough timber as mentioned above will act like a sponge and absorb moisture/rain water etc. whereas the rain water will usually just run off the planed shiplap boards.
The shiplap boards we use are 23.5mm thick, with a planed finish of 20mm. Normally the shiplap used by most other sellers is only 12/13mm. Also our shiplap board are interlocking board and not t&g (tongue & groove). 12/13mm boards are always t&g as they are not strong enough to interlock. Our boards are very strong and come with the shiplap edge for water to run off.
The framing on all of our mini garden buildings is 50x36mm throughout with a smooth planed finish (floor, all panels, roof). This is pretty much unrivalled. As a result our sheds are definitely the strongest on the market. Many of our competitors use only 32x35mm, so ours is over double the thickness. All of our framing timber is fully pressure treated. The flooring on all our sheds is similar to the shiplap (23.5mm boards, planed to 20mm) and is also an interlocking board. It has a unique design which we came up with for strength. As we use Scandinavian timber throughout the thickness and strength are the best around.

Every MCD garden building comes with a timber floor included. The floor is made up of our 50mm x 36mm pressure treated framing timber turned on its end so the actual floorboards sit 50mm up off the floor. The floor is then sheeted with 20mm planed real timber floor boards, these are also pressure treated and give a fantastic finish and amazing strength. All floors are framed all the way around the outside for extra strength and to block debris from blowing under your shed. We can upgrade the amount of floor runners for very heavy equipment or add extra timber bearers to lift the whole floor further off the ground. Please contact us for prices and information on this. We can also supply a floor plan so you can build a base to the exact dimensions of your new garden building floor.
All shed panels are nailed in the workshop using coil nail guns and most importantly using Hot-Dipped Galvanised Nails. This means the nails are properly galvanised as opposed to coated or zinc coated galvanised nails, or nails not even galvanised at all. Those inferior nails will ultimately leave streak marks on the shed panels, this is because they are rusting (not suitable for external use) which means the timber will generally then rot or crack around the rusting nails. In terms of hinges and pad-bolts, etc. again we use proper galvanised goods. We use 300mm Tee Hinges on all doors and all sheds are supplied with a lockable pad-bolt.
On assembly, the sheds will be screwed together (5.0x70mm wood screws). All competitors recommend nailing the panels together on assembly, however the advantages of screwing the panels together are that: The sheds can be disassembled (easily) if ever needed to. Sheds that are nailed are very difficult to disassemble and re-erect as the timbers get damaged when taking the panels apart and rarely go back in one piece. Nails also rust and as mentioned above, the timber surrounding the rusty nail will then split and rot.
