    Hi Jenniffer, 

    The timber will all be treated (tantalised) but another coat  will not do it any harm and will extend its longevity. It would also be a good idea to raise the shed base from the ground using 2" x 2" treated timbers that would run the opposite to the existing floor joists. This will allow an air flow through the floor underside which delays wood rot 

  • Am looking to buy a shed, i found this website and was wandering if anyone has any advise on what are the best models.. http://www.midlands-sheds-and-summerhouses.co.uk/shop/

    Thanks in advance,

    Available space and budget plus what you want it for should guide you - unless you're trying for free advertising for your sheds!
