About this product
The Lotus Metal Shed, in a stylish anthracite grey finish, offers a premium solution for those seeking durable storage within their garden. This high-specification metal shed from Globel Industries is designed to provide a robust and weather-resistant space, ideal for larger gardens where extra storage or a small workshop area is required.
Constructed with a high grade 0.3mm steel and paint finish, this 10x7ft shed boasts a sturdy door assembly utilising a glide & track layout, ensuring smooth operation. The frame and base rails are made from heavy gauge galvanized steel, guaranteeing resilience against rust and corrosion – a key benefit over traditional timber sheds which require annual treatment.
This metal shed features a spacious interior, suitable for a workshop or substantial storage needs. Its waterproof design and hot-dipped galvanised steel construction mean it’s built to withstand the elements and doesn't necessitate any ongoing maintenance. However, due to its large footprint, a solid, level base is essential for optimal stability.
The Lotus LOTUS107AG Metal Shed comes with a limited 15 year manufacturers warranty. It’s a significant investment reflecting its premium quality and construction materials – alloy steel for the top and base, with a galvanised steel frame.
