Duramax 10×8 Skylight Aluminium Metal Garden Shed

🏡 Premium Coastal-Grade Aluminium Shed – Perfect for Seaside Homes

The Duramax 10×8 Skylight Aluminium Garden Shed is engineered for long-lasting strength, zero maintenance, and maximum weather resistance. Made from corrosion-proof aluminium 🌊 and designed with a full-width skylight roof panel ☀️, the shed fills with natural daylight while staying secure and private.

Its modern dual-pitch roof (19° + 30°) ensures fast rainwater run-off 🌧️ and exceptional performance in Irish coastal climates.
Extra-tall double doors 🚪 offer wide access for lawnmowers, tools, bikes, and outdoor equipment. Reinforced groove-profile aluminium panels give high dent resistance 💪, while heavy-duty steel trusses can handle up to 18 lbs/sq.ft of snow load ❄️.

This shed also includes a steel foundation floor frame 📦 inside the box, forming part of the shed’s structure.

🧱 Floor Options (Choose One)

Finish the supplied foundation frame using one of the following:

• 🪵 18–24 mm Marine-Grade Plywood (Recommended)
  – Moisture-resistant, strong, and ideal for coastal environments

• 🔩 Metal Checker Plate
  – Premium, ultra-durable industrial finish

• 🧱 Poured Concrete
  – Fill the metal frame and level for a permanent, rock-solid floor

📏 Exact base size required: 312.1 × 231.9 cm

🔨 Recommended Base Types (For Screw-Fixing)

1. 🧱 Raised Concrete Pad (Best Option)

• Exact footprint size

• Slightly raised for water run-off

• Screw-fix the shed or floor frame directly to the pad

2. 🪨 Raised Paved Area

• Use 600×600 mm smooth paving slabs

• Must be tightly fitted and perfectly level

• Screw-fix the shed where the metal base rail touches the slabs

3. 🪵 Raised Timber Deck

• Must be solid and structurally supported

• Level surface ensures correct door operation

• Screw-fix through the metal base rail into the deck

👉 Always install a DPM sheet (Damp-Proof Membrane) under your base to prevent rising damp.

📍 Positioning & Installation Tips

• Choose a dry, level, solid surface

• Avoid grass, soil, loose gravel, or tarmac (cannot screw-fix securely)

• Ensure the base is 100% level for smooth door movement

• Avoid facing the shed doors toward south-westerly winds 🌬️

• Follow the manual instructions for safe, quick assembly
