Troubleshooting
Wood panels appear damp or warped.
Ensure the building is properly treated with a waterproof top coat. Check that the base is level and drains effectively. Ensure adequate ventilation by opening windows periodically.
Lock is stiff or difficult to operate.
Lubricate the lock mechanism with a graphite-based lubricant. Ensure doors are properly aligned and not rubbing against the frame.
Assembly instructions are unclear.
Contact Shire Garden Buildings customer support for clarification or refer to online assembly videos if available.
Minor gaps between panels.
Small gaps are normal in timber construction and will often close up as humidity changes. For larger gaps, consider using a suitable exterior wood filler after treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Assembly: Follow the provided step-by-step instructions carefully. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly due to the size and weight of the panels.
- Treatment: Once assembled, apply a good quality exterior wood preservative and top coat to protect the timber from moisture and UV damage. This is crucial for longevity.
Compatibility:
- This garden building is designed as a standalone structure and does not have specific compatibility requirements with other Shire products, other than siting requirements.
- Ensure adequate space around the building for access and maintenance.
Care:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior and interior periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Re-treatment: Reapply wood preservative and top coat every 2-3 years, or as recommended by the manufacturer of your chosen treatment, to maintain protection.
- Guttering (Optional): Consider adding guttering to direct rainwater away from the base, extending the life of the timber.
- Ventilation: Ensure windows are occasionally opened to allow airflow, even in cooler months.
