Recommended timber: Bulgarian spruce

We recommend first-grade Bulgarian spruce because it balances strength, dimensional stability and cost. Bulgarian spruce performs reliably in outdoor buildings when correctly detailed and finished.

Why avoid pressure-treated timber

Pressure-treated wood can suffer from accelerated degradation: chemical treatments can promote movement, shrinkage and knot loss over time. For long-term durability, high-quality structural timbers like Bulgarian spruce are a superior choice.

Custom advantages

Choosing a custom solution lets you specify exact sizes, insulation, multiple doors, windows, and electrics — creating a building that matches your needs. Custom Timber Buildings Ltd specialises in bespoke plans, site advice and supply.

Quick tips

  • Use overlapping cladding for better weather resistance and reduced maintenance.
  • Specify ventilated eaves and breathable linings to avoid condensation.
  • Plan access and storage to maximise usable space.
