Transforming Your Garden Space

Creating Elegant Garden Fences

Fencing is often the first step towards enhancing privacy and defining your garden's boundaries. Using tanalised timber shiplap for fences not only adds a line of defence against unwanted intrusions but also enriches your garden's character with natural textures and earthy tones. Additionally, the resilience of the tanalised timber means your fence will withstand rain, wind, and sun without losing its charm.

A Practical Scenario

Imagine joining a garden party at a friend's house and being enamoured by their rustic yet elegant boundary. Upon inquiry, you discover they opted for shiplap fencing, utilising the interlocking tongue and groove design of the 16x125 T&G Tanalised Treated Shiplap. You decide to replicate this in your garden, knowing that with tanalised timber, you'd be investing in a lasting style.

Constructing Garden Sheds

A garden shed is more than just an extra storage space; it can be an extension of your home's stylistic language. Building a shed with tanalised timber shiplap guarantees both structural integrity and visual allure. The snug fit and natural grain of each board contribute to a cohesive and refined look.

Shiplap Installation Process

The satisfaction of using tanalised timber extends into the installation process. Begin by deciding on the placement and design, followed by measuring and cutting the boards to fit your specifications.

Steps to Install

1. Preparation: Gather your tools, including a saw, hammer, nails, and measuring tape. Ensure you have enough shiplap to cover your planned area, noting the 110mm coverage per metre.
2. Foundation: Whether erecting a fence or a shed, ensure a solid foundation is in place. Use stakes and strings to mark out your boundaries.
3. Board Installation: Start from the bottom and work upwards, securing each board firmly. The tongue and groove fit allow for a seamless, interlocking connection.
4. Finishing Touches: Once installed, consider sealing or staining the wood for added protection and a customised look.
