Shepherd Hut Warranty

Stamford Shepherd Huts Ltd has been refining the materials used in construction, both internally and externally in order to try and achieve zero maintenance product:

  • The principal material in the chassis and subframe is painted steel.
  • We avoid the use of sheep’s wool due to moth infestation.
  • Our balconies are galvanised with composite decking.
  • The hinges are made of solid brass so they won’t rust.
  • Our preferred timber for the doors and window is teak wood or Acoya wood- doors and windows are available in composite.
  • The underside of the shepherd huts are completely sealed against the elements with painted steel metal.
