18 May Building a Tool Shed with Nutec
We could all use a little more space, and an outdoor shed is a terrific option to add some extra storage space around the house. Everything from lawnmowers to outdoor tools and equipment can be stored in a shed. Here we’ll walk you through the process of building a shed and provide you with the instructions and material list you’ll need to get started. Don’t let this project’s size overwhelm you as we supply straightforward building techniques to make the procedure as simple as we can.
Nutec is a fibre board created by mixing cement and fibres. It is a sturdy, long-lasting material that can be used for construction and is a fantastic choice for a tool shed. In place of the conventional hardwood boards used in Wendy houses, the combination is crushed and sheeted to produce boards for cladding. The beauty of Nutec is how long-lasting and low-maintenance it is. Nutec is used to clad outside buildings and meets with SABS regulations.
