Mobile building with a difference
Fibre cement makes all the difference!
Homeowners looking for a touch of luxury in their garden need look no further than a Southdown Shepherds’ Hut manufactured using Marley Eternit’s Cedral Weatherboard.
These mobile buildings are said to be an ideal solution for those who want to enjoy their new bolt-hole without having to worry about the time consuming chore of repainting and maintaining its exterior.
That’s because Cedral Weatherboard is made from fibre cement, which is resistant to rot and maintains its look even in the harshest weather conditions. The weatherboard also provides a traditional appearance because its subtle surface texture provides the visual impression of timber, but without the need for ongoing maintenance and repainting.
Southdown Shepherds Huts combine authentic features with modern high quality interiors and can be used for a number of purposes including; home office, children’s playroom, guest accommodation and artist studio. They are made using carefully selected materials to ensure owners have a low maintenance building that retains a traditional appearance.
The walls of the shepherds’ huts are constructed by nailing the weatherboard in a shiplap configuration to a treated pine frame. The walls and floors are insulated with 70mm PUR polyurethane board, whilst the roof incorporates 70mm sheep wool insulation. The interior walls are lined with moisture resistant tongue and groove Neatmatch boarding and the floor is brushed and oiled engineered oak.
Catherine Casey, director, Southdown Shepherds Huts, says: “We construct all our shepherds’ huts using Cedral Weatherboard because it looks like traditional weatherboarding but doesn’t have any of the ongoing maintenance issues associated with painted timber. Our aim is to build huts that have a beautiful traditional appearance and surface finish.”

With the new, stay-put-don’t-move philosophy to modern home sales, garden rooms are taking on new dimensions. So that’s why buildings such as the Southdown Shepherds’ Hut, made using Marley Eternit’s Cedral Weatherboard, has such a popular ring and success.
