Cornwall Sheds and Workshops.

Timber workshop and shed manufacturers, John Shields Woodwork based in North Tawton, build their timber buildings around a substantial framework, so are built to last. All the timber is pressure treated. This is a maintenance free treatment which will help extend the life of the timber building quite considerably.

Larger size timber buildings make excellent workshops. With sturdy floors and rigid walls, installing a workbench and shelving is very simple.
