Duratuf Fortress WS 400 Woodshed

Customisation Options

The Duratuf Fortress WS 400 Woodshed can be tailored to better suit your property and storage needs through its range of factory options. While the overall structure and layout remain consistent, you can personalise the finish and performance to align with your site conditions and aesthetic preferences.

• Cladding finish: Select either Zincalume or a coloured cladding option to suit your outdoor setting.
• Wall colour: Choose from multiple wall colours so the woodshed can complement your home, fences, or other garden buildings.
• Trim and roof colour: Match or contrast the trims and roof with the wall colour for a coordinated look.
• Additional wall height: Opt for an extra 200mm of wall height if you need more capacity or clearance for taller stacks of firewood.
• Base and anchoring choices: Add a wooden floor kit and select the most suitable ground fastening option (Peg Down or Bolt Down) for your foundation type.
• Environmental upgrades: Choose the Coastal Upgrade for added protection in more demanding coastal locations.
