Advanced Water Run Off

Surely everybody wants a weatherproof shed? It’s important then, that water flows away from your shed to ensure your valuable gear is kept dry. The unique design of our sheds ensures that water is not trapped on or around them.

Duratuf timber frame sheds feature a unique construction method where the cladding is nailed to the top and bottom plates. This method ensures that water runs away from the shed easily as there are no channels to trap leaves, dirt and water that will leak, or sit and corrode the cladding. (Fig. 1)

Conventional shed designs require a channel at the top and bottom of the shed to hold the cladding together.   (Fig. 2)

Fortress kitsets can be modified to allow the wall cladding to extend past the base of the shed when placing on a raised concrete floor. This completely eliminates the possibility of water running back into the base of your shed.

It is necessary to order the Raised Base Modification for the Fortress range at the time of ordering the shed.

Wrap Around Roof

The roof design on the Fortress range also features pre-folded roof sheets that wrap over the end walls to create a watertight finish. This makes installation easy and ensures that there are no leaks.
