How to waterproof wooden garden storage

Wooden garden storage units from Waltons are designed to be weatherproof. The timber is also treated and comes with either a 10 or 15-year anti-rot guarantee for your peace of mind. To make sure your new purchase remains waterproof, install it on the correct base to keep it clear of the ground – this protects it from rising damp and also stops the structure from distorting, ensuring doors fit properly. Apply a quality wood stain each year, check the roofing felt regularly, and repair as necessary to make sure your belongings remain dry. For more information, head over to our guide to damp-proofing your shed.

Which is best, a shed or a storage chest?

Whether you opt for a shed or storage box depends on your individual storage requirements and the available space at your disposal. For your garden or allotment, we offer a wide selection of storage solutions, including both sheds and storage units in a range of materials, including hard-wearing plastic, tough metal, and traditional, robust and attractive wood. If you only have a small outside space like a decking area, courtyard, patio, or balcony, a storage chest is a handy way to store larger items and doubles as a seat for when the sun shines.

Can I paint wooden storage boxes?

Wooden storage boxes are perfect for painting with either all-weather wood paint or a coloured wood stain. Alternatively, we can supply your purchase ready painted in your choice from an array of attractive colours. We also offer further customisation with a series of roof upgrades, plus a delivery and installation package for your added convenience.
