Can you put flooring in a Tuff Shed?

No matter what you plan to store inside your shed, a more temperate interior is always a great addition. Our floors are already ideal examples of Tuff Shed strength, but adding treated floor decking adds a new level. One of our favorite aspects of this upgrade is that it's easier to clean than our base flooring option.

When you’re designing a new Tuff Shed building, there are plenty of ways to customize the space to fit your style and use of the space. While we think every building we produce is great, we’ve got a list below of our best options and upgrades; the things that make the biggest impact on the building. Every one of our buildings is designed to last for years to come, but when you add these options and upgrades, you’ll have an even better shed.

Vents

Proper air flow inside your new shed is extremely important. You’ll notice that vents are always added to the design of our buildings when you use our online design tool. Adding vents will help to prevent mildew and fume buildup from any chemicals that you may store inside your shed. We also offer several options for vent placement, vent sizes, and colors, so you can design the perfect building.

Radiant Barrier Roof Decking

Our Radiant Barrier Roof Decking is proven to keep your shed cooler in the summer and trap heat in the winter months. No matter what you plan to store inside your shed, a more temperate interior is always a great addition.

Treated Floor Decking

Our floors are already ideal examples of Tuff Shed strength, but adding treated floor decking adds a new level. One of our favorite aspects of this upgrade is that it’s easier to clean than our base flooring option. This is an especially great upgrade for a workshop or storage shed, allowing you to easily clean up when the floor gets dirty.

Windows

Not only do windows look great, they can add airflow and sunlight to your Tuff Shed building as well. We offer several window styles and sizes, including transom windows, which add an extra component of security. You can even add transom windows to your door, among other upgrades. No matter what options and upgrades you choose for your Tuff Shed building, you can be confident in the strength and longevity of your building, all backed by our industry-leading warranties. So why wait? Design your perfect building now, complete with all your favorite options and upgrades.

How do you stop MDF shelves going Mouldy?

Replace with moisture resistant MDF or ply sealed with something. If it's really damp, even ply will delaminate at the edges eventually.

OSB

I had exactly this, huge blooms of mould and spores coming out of the hardboard (effecively cardboard) shelves that came with my generic shelving unit. Must have been in the board itself, it was staggering.

OSB (orientated Strand Board), AKA sterling board is designed to be wet.

Its whole point is it can be soaked and dried out several times, and therefore can be used for flat roofing jobs that are going to take a few days to complete and might get rained on, or as concrete shuttering. Ply, while it has less tolerance than OSB and will delaminate if it gets too wet, will probably be fine for your purpose.

OSB is dirt cheap though.

Also, fix your damp. Where is it getting in?

My single skin shed was horrifically damp when it was built. I used two products on different sections both of which have been excellent

For red brick we wanted to keep red brick:

Thompsons can be applied with a garden sprayer, and is basically nikwax for brick. Its almost invisible (a slight satin sheen when dry) but water beads off it. Very quick to apply, though i anticipate having to redo it every couple of years. I have been told that different versions of this use different fomulas, so if you choose one you have to commit to it, as they repel each other.

For Concrete block walls:

Sandtex masonry paint, which is exactly what it looks like.

Dont do what i did and mess about with a roller thinking it would be quicker, you need a thick masonry brush and plaster it on like double cream. Takes a few days to dry but ends up effectively a coat of plastic. Very long lasting.
