There's a shed thread (not a super intuitive name) - I reckon that'll be more help. I remember dov and @stevo_com getting theirs from Beast Sheds.
As well as treating it, ime fundamentals like gutters and drainage to avoid standing water are what will really increase the longevity. I had to replace quite a few bits on mine due to rot. This was 99.9% down to design failures and 0.1% due to time and water.

Dov got his from Beast, I got mine from Ace.
Gutters, with downpipes directing away from the base. Raised base, flat surface etc. If you set it up on a crooked based, it will hold for a bit, but it will put stress on particular areas that are trying to keep the shed square. Those will then fail more easily over time.

Any shed recommendations? I need a new one and I'd like something fairly chunky that will last a while. Is tanalised worth it? I'm unlikely to creosote* it as often as I should.
