12x7: The Singles

Product Information

Unsprung mass is to blame – we would estimate the car’s enormous wheel-and-tyre package to come in at about 32kg per corner. The 2 windows used on this particular 12′ x 7′ use a glazing material (Thickness was not specified). A floor that is 16mm thick is something our experts say is one of the best available for this kind of shed. Ensuring the right material used for the roof is essential as this will take the brunt of the British weather so ensure full consideration is given.

It is used on 1% of all sheds [7] and after analysing the top 436 products that make up the top 10% of sheds [8], we don’t find this thickness present on any of them. Also needs to have solid floor joists to take the weight and these should be no more that 40 cm (16 in) apart.All three classes have a service life of less than 15 years in a frequently wet environment (such as a UK garden). Where at 70mph the Range Rover registered 61dBA on our microphone, the X7 M60i recorded 65dBA, with a similar discrepancy seen across a range of speeds. These sun rooms can be made with internal partitions if you choose with extra doors creating several different areas. The walls are 20mm thick and we rate this the best thickness out of the 15 found on same-size sheds [6]. You will often find much less that this and when the boards shrink in the warmer weather gaps will appear.

This is far safer for your family, especially where children are involved, as it is specially treated to ensure that IF it breaks it will break into small granules of glass rather that jagged shards which horticultural will do. You might wonder why we elected to put the X7 M60i around the Tarmac-track Hill Route at Millbrook Proving Ground rather than through an off-road course, but the decision was made for us by the choice of rubber the car is supplied on: Pirelli P Zero.

It’s reasonable to expect the M60i to pack more power and torque than the pre-facelift M50i it replaces. Size again varies greatly from maybe as small as 4 ft x 3 ft for a little storage unit and up to 20 ft x 12 ft for a fully functioning, all singing summerhouse. Laden with fuel and driver, and therefore weighing the best part of 2750kg, our test car launched to 60mph in 4. There are simply too many icons on the screen for you to either scroll past using the rotary control or press with your finger (which necessitates leaning forward a bit awkwardly).

Factor in genuine seven-seat ability and a level of material lavishness that wouldn’t be alien to Range Rover owners and you have a pretty compelling all-rounder.

We aimed to lift any restrictions on designers’ workflow and creativity, so we redesigned the interface to make it fully customizable and adaptable.
