Garden Sheds - 1st Choice

Capital Steel Buildings could protect property from fire

Small businesses storing paint and chemicals in their garden sheds could benefit from investing in a Capital Steel Building to protect their property from fire.

Bolton firefighters were recently called to several separate incidents involving fires in garden sheds, made worse by the flammable contents within, the Bolton News reports.

Neighbours reported a garden shed had been set alight in Great Lever in the early hours of the morning and it took an hour to put out the blaze, which spread to fencing, a detached garage and a conservatory.

Toby Mckenna, watch manager at Bolton Central, told the newspaper: "These fires were made much worse by the flammable material being stored in the sheds."

Capital Steel Buildings are suitable for full commercial use and for a range of industrial storage uses.

They are constructed from solid cold rolled high tensile steel which makes them extremely strong and durable.

These buildings last a long time and can be built to any specification including double-skinned fully PIR fire rated units, which can offer protection when storing flammable materials.
