The roof of your shed is one of the most susceptible components to harsh weather, meaning that maintenance of your shed roof is essential. Strong winds can put a great deal of pressure on your shed roof with their high speeds and quick changes of direction. Your roof must be secure to prevent any type of damage. You must always check the status of the roof, both from the inside and the outside. The following issues may need to be resolved or repaired:
- Rusting nails
- Black mould
- Sagging of the materials
- make sure your shed base has a solid foundation that raises the building off the ground too, as sneaking up through the ground is one of moisture’s favourite access routes to most sheds.

Make sure to seal them both inside and out. To draft proof your shed, you can install foam weather stripping insulating tape. This will prevent any drafts and will keep moisture outside the shed. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Following these simple steps will help ensure you have a more secure and protected shed for the inevitable strong winds we face in the UK. It is better to be prepared than have to face severe repair work after the storm has destroyed your garden shed. Take some time to follow these precautions so you don’t have to worry!</span></p><p><b><i>Disclaimer:</i></b><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Please note that this guide is intended to present general information regarding the subject.
