The Innovative Timber Frame Build Process

The Innovative Timber Frame Build Process

By Andrew Tweddle on 5th August, 2011

Decorated Shed garden buildings are the perfect addition to your garden, especially if you’re looking for an innovative solution for your space problems. However, Decorated Shed’s garden buildings offer so much more than just space. Every element of the build process has been designed to offer the most benefit to the user. This article is all about the process of creating the frame of the building, from foundation to roofing.

We start with our advanced foundation system. It is designed to offer unrivalled structural support for this type of garden building. It also offers a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional concrete methods of foundations. Once this has been completed the building is ready for the innovative timber frame. In larger projects, we can often have panels ready prepared to make the build time even shorter.

Decorated Shed garden buildings are built using the timber frame method, which gives the structure and the build process many advantages over the traditional methods that many competitors use. The main advantage, which will be of utmost importance to anyone considering investing in a garden building, is structural rigidity and lifespan. To further prepare the structure for use, a series of environmentally friendly treatments are used, including a water-based spray for protecting against fungi and insects.

One of the main advantages of using this timber frame method is the level of insulation it provides all year round. An advanced wall system is fitted directly onto the core frame and offers a very high thermal K value of 0.023. This system of insulation means there is very little need for heating and cooling, which is a great money saver.

The final step of the main build process is to install the exterior wood cladding and the roof onto the structure. The wood exterior is available in Western Red Cedar, Larch or the innovative, heat-treated Thermowood. The wood cladding is also available in a number of natural and coloured finishes to suit your taste. The roof is made using a high quality waterproof membrane, and this adds even more energy efficiency and weather resistance.

So, as you can see, every garden building from Decorated Shed goes through a very highly thought-out and advanced build process, from start to finish, ensuring they are as durable and long-lasting as they can be. With this process in place, your Decorated Shed garden building will last year after year at the same level of performance from when it was first built.
