Pressure treated sheds use tanalised timber that's been factory-infused with preservative under high pressure, protecting every fibre against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack. Unlike dip-treated sheds that need annual retreatment, pressure treated timber stays protected for decades with no maintenance.

Key Features & Benefits
Factory Tanalised Timber
Preservative is forced deep into the wood grain under vacuum pressure, protecting the timber from the inside out — far superior to surface-level dip treatment.
No Annual Treatment
Unlike dip-treated or untreated sheds, pressure treated timber doesn't require yearly coats of preservative. It stays protected straight from the factory.
Rot & Decay Resistant
Tanalised timber resists rot, fungal decay, and insect damage even in Scotland's constant damp — the leading cause of shed failure.
Available in All Styles
Pressure treatment is available on every shed type we offer — apex, pent, heavy duty, workshops, and more.
Eco-Friendly Treatment
Modern tanalisation uses copper-based preservatives that are safe for garden use, children, and pets once dry.
10-Year Guarantee
Every pressure treated shed comes with our 10-year structural guarantee against rot, decay, and structural failure.
Why Pressure Treatment Matters in Scotland
Scotland's climate is particularly harsh on timber. With around 700mm of annual rainfall in Edinburgh — and significantly more in exposed areas — untreated or dip-treated timber absorbs moisture, swells, and begins to rot within 2-3 years.
Pressure treatment changes the game entirely. The tanalisation process forces preservative deep into the timber cells, creating a barrier that moisture simply cannot penetrate. This means your shed stays structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing for 15-20+ years.
Every shed we build at Edinburgh Shed Centre uses pressure treated timber as standard. We don't offer untreated or dip-treated options because we don't believe they're fit for purpose in Scotland's climate.
Problems Our Pressure Treated Sheds Solve
Constant Retreatment
Tired of spending every spring painting your shed with wood preserver? Pressure treated timber eliminates annual retreatment entirely, saving you time, money, and effort.
Premature Rot & Decay
If your current shed is going soft, growing mould, or showing signs of rot, it wasn't properly treated. Our pressure treated sheds resist these problems from day one.
Environmental Concerns
Modern tanalisation uses safe, copper-based preservatives approved for garden use. Once dry, the timber is completely safe for children, pets, and plants growing nearby.
Installation Process
Pressure treated sheds follow our standard installation process: free site survey, base preparation, and professional on-site construction. The treatment adds no extra time to installation.
We typically install pressure treated sheds in a single day for sizes up to 10×8. Larger builds may require two days. Every component arrives pre-treated and ready to assemble.
We recommend a concrete or slab base to complement the pressure treatment and maximise the lifespan of your shed. We can install the base as part of your project.
