A. Buildings are guaranteed for one year, however, Storm Damage is not! Acts of God and physical damage is not covered. Sheds must also have been treated with preservative.

A. Shiplap or Pressure Treated Shed can be painted. Rustic Sheds can be painted but as the surface is not planed it is not as easy.

A. Non-Tear Felt is the standard finish but Ballyfree Garden Buildings can also supply Onduline which is black and made from hardened felt material with a corrugated style finish. Onduline roofing material is guaranteed for 15 years. We can also supply tile effect sheeting and shingles.

A. Ballyfree can make sheds to order. We will need drawings showing dimensions etc (not necessarily of architectural standard) and a written specification. Alternatively we can arrange a site visit at no extra cost. Any subsequent order will need to be accompanied by a 50% deposit.

A. We use galvanised Hinges, Bolts and Fasteners, but remember that by putting grease on the ironmongery once a year, it helps to prevent damage from the elements.

A. It’s a process that involves the timber being impregnated with chemicals that leaves the timber preserved and requiring minimum maintenance. The process leaves the timber light green in colour.Although strictly not necessary we do recommend that the inside and outside be treated with a Water Sealer. Unlike other suppliers, when you purchase a Pressure Treated Shed from Ballyfree we use Pressure Treated timber in the roof and floors.

A. With the exception of pressure treated, all sheds are treated with a primer coat of preservative before leaving our factory. Within a few months of delivery sheds should be treated on the outside with an oil based preservative and thereafter as recommended by the preservative manufacturer.

A. The average is between 7 and 10 working days depending on the time of the year. If you have an urgent need we will endeavour to assist if possible. Depending on the size of the shed it can take between 1 and 3 hours to erect.

A. Let us know of the access problem at the time of ordering. If the shed size is 1.9M (6 feet) or less in width it can be taken through the house assuming there is a straight run through the house. It can also be taken through a garage providing there is straight access to the back. We can make larger sheds in sections but they will incur a surcharge as the manufacturing is more complex and takes longer to construct.

A. The Rustic Shed is constructed from rough 10mm fresh cut Irish timber with 16mm butt jointed timber used for floor.

The Shiplap Shed is made from planed 22mm kiln dried White Spruce Shiplap timber, and the floor and roof is made from tongued and grooved timber that is also a slow growing timber.

The Barrel Board Shed is manufactured from kiln dried White Spruce timber that has a log shaped finish. The floor and roof is made with tongued and grooved White Spruce.
