The Ultimate Guide to Selecting Your Shed Frame Type
The frame of your shed is the most important part of your shed. Just like humans, sheds need a skeleton to support their weight, which is exactly what a shed frame does. The frame of your shed takes the weight of everything and holds it all together to ensure your shed remains structurally sound, no matter the conditions. That is why it is very important that you think carefully about which frame type is most suitable when you start designing your shed.
