Just to clarify something, wood stain is exactly what it says, a method of colouring wood. It won't prevent rot or insect attack unless it contains a preservative.
I have got a tub of Cuprinol fence and shed "stuff" from B&M for £9. It was all they had in a reasonable colour. The other option was Ronseal, any colour you like as long as it was Forest Green!
It does say that it should not be used on planed wood for some reason, only rough sawn. Not sure what the shed I have ordered is made of, but I would guess that the price would mean rough sawn, although the picture looks otherwise.
If its anything like gf bought off the bay (new, cheap) youll be lucky if it lasts 6months.
3mm planks on 18mm x 25mm frame.
Id say it was "cowpat", but cow pat cob would have been *much* better.
If it is as bad as that, i suggest fibreglass+resin to weatherproof it.
As it's water based if you use it on planed timber most of it will run off on vertical surfaces before it has had a chance to soak in.
If your timber is planed just apply the timber treatment while it's flat packed and horizontal then assemble once dry.
I built something similar for the generator at the stables

You can tell a sparky put that together (Warning labels)!
My "O" level in woodwork came in handy too
