When you’re buying a tool shed, you have several options of material: plastic, metal, or wood.
At Outpost, our tool sheds are made primarily from wood. We use the toughest, most durable NZ pine that we can for our framing, wall cladding and timber skids. Nearly all of our tool shed designs are made to be portable, and wood offers the best combination of durability, weather resistance and weight.
A wooden tool shed also offers unparalleled customisation. It’s easy to stain or paint wood any colour that you prefer, and extra shelving, cupboards and other additions can simply be nailed in. You don’t get that level of easy personalisation in a plastic or metal shed.
That isn’t to say that a wooden shed is perfect. Poor quality wooden sheds can decay, possibly even rot, without a strict maintenance regime. That’s why buying quality and working with an expert supplier is so important when investing in a wooden tool shed - treated timber and a good paint job is a must to keep your shed looking great for decades to come.
