Duratuf Fortress Tuf 800 Garden Shed

Customisation Options

The Duratuf Fortress Tuf 800 Garden Shed offers a high level of configurability so you can tailor it to your property and storage needs.

• Cladding & Colour Choices: Select durable Zincalume or opt for a coloured finish, then choose from a wide range of wall and trim/roof colours to match your home or landscaping.
• Door Position & Style: Configure your access with a standard front single hinged door, move the single door to the end, or upgrade to a front double hinged door for wider access.
• Additional Doors: Add extra hinged doors on the left or right wall for convenient access from multiple sides.
• Extra Wall Height: Increase wall height by 200mm for more headroom and better storage of taller items.
• Natural Light: Include clear roof panels to bring daylight into the shed without needing windows.
• Interior Fit-Out: Add built-in work benches, heavy duty workbenches, and tool boards, and take advantage of the full timber frame to easily fix additional shelving, hooks, or ply linings.

Together, these options allow you to create a shed layout that works with your site, door access, and the way you store and use your equipment.
