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.
