Larch Cladding, Cedar Shingles & European Redwood on Garden Offices

Click here to return to How We Build Your Garden office.

LARCH CLADDING - The larch used to clad your garden office comes from either Scotland or North East England.

Larch heartwood is frequently used for cladding in northern Europe. Heartwood comes from the centre of the tree, where the fibres are densely packed.

Traditionally, larch is used in high quality boat building as well as for cladding buildings. It is a very strong, durable wood that can be left untreated.

Not using chemical preservatives reduces the environmental impact of the building.
However coloured stains can be used on larch without harming the wood.

CEDAR SHINGLES

We use top grade Blue Label Cedar Shingles on our garden offices which are made from 100% heartwood and sourced from well managed forests.

They do not require chemical maintenance and are guaranteed for 35 years. They are made from smaller cedar logs that would otherwise be left as forest waste.

EUROPEAN REDWOOD

The timber frames of Insideout garden ofiices are made from redwood from commercially managed forests. The structure of your garden office is built to housing standards and is strong enough to support 2 storeys. The walls are 30cm (12") thick including the larch cladding.
