A breathable membrane sits behind the external timber cladding. It adds a secondary weather-resistant layer while allowing water vapour to escape, helping manage moisture within the structure. It does not replace the roof covering or normal timber maintenance.
Thick mineral felt is the standard roof covering. EPDM is a premium single-piece rubber roof covering with fewer joints and lower routine maintenance when correctly installed. The timber roof structure beneath remains as specified for the building.

Understanding & caring for natural timber
Pressure treatment protects timber against rot, fungal decay and insect attack but does not make the building waterproof. Once the timber is sufficiently dry, apply a suitable exterior wood paint, stain or water-repellent treatment and maintain it periodically.

Optional Building Upgrades
For additional protection and longevity, we can offer a choice of upgrades for your garden building. Please email sales@cvgf.co.uk for a price on any of the following extras.
EPDM Rubber Roof
Upgrade your standard roofing felt to an EPDM rubber roof for a longer-lasting, low-maintenance roofing solution.
- Life expectancy of up to 30 years
- Excellent waterproofing and weather resistance
- Highly durable and resistant to cracking and splitting
- Flexible enough to accommodate natural movement in the timber
- Low maintenance
- Provides a smart, professional finish
- An excellent long-term alternative to traditional roofing felt
Breathable Membrane
A breathable membrane can be fitted behind the external timber cladding to provide an additional layer of protection against wind-driven rain and moisture.
- Provides an additional weather-resistant barrier behind the cladding
- Helps protect the inside of the building from moisture penetration
- Helps protect against water entering through natural gaps or movement in the timber cladding
- Allows water vapour to escape, helping the timber structure to breathe
- Particularly recommended where the contents of the building need additional protection from the elements

Delivery & installation
Delivery is calculated from your postcode at checkout. Where professional installation is available, it can be selected separately. Your base should be firm, level and suitable for the building before delivery or installation.
Pressure-treated timber
The timber is pressure treated to help protect it from rot and decay. Timber is a natural material, so knots, colour variation, small splits, checks and movement can occur as the building seasons. These are normal characteristics of outdoor timber and do not usually affect structural performance.
