FAQs

Can I place the door on any side of the shed?

Yes, this shed is designed with flexible door placement. You can choose which side the door is fitted to during the assembly process.

What type of wood treatment is recommended?

The shed is pressure-treated and treated with a proprietary wood preserver enriched with a wax additive. For re-treatment, use a high-quality, water-based wood stain or preservative suitable for garden buildings.

How durable is the toughened safety glass?

Toughened safety glass is significantly stronger than standard glass and designed to break into small, less harmful pieces if shattered. However, it is still glass and can be broken under severe impact.

What is the expected lifespan of the shed?

With proper care and maintenance, and given its pressure-treated timber and robust construction, the shed is designed for long-term use, potentially lasting many years.

Does the shed come with a base?

The product description does not specify if a base is included. It is recommended to prepare a level and firm base, such as concrete slabs or a timber frame, prior to assembly.

What are the external dimensions including the overhang?

The external dimensions including the overhang are 5522mm in length and 2604mm in width.

How often should I re-treat the wood?

The initial treatment offers protection for up to a year. It's advisable to inspect the wood annually and reapply a suitable preservative every 1-2 years, or sooner if signs of weathering appear, to ensure maximum longevity.

Troubleshooting

Shed door is stiff or doesn't close properly

Check for any obstructions around the door frame. Ensure the shed is level and the hinges are correctly aligned and tightened. Minor adjustments to the hinges may be necessary.

Water ingress after rain

Inspect the felt roof for tears or gaps and repair or replace as needed. Check that the wall panels are securely fitted and sealed. Ensure the base is level to allow water to run off effectively.

Wood appears to be weathering excessively

Reapply a suitable wood preserver or treatment as recommended by the manufacturer. Pay attention to areas exposed to direct sunlight or heavy rain. Ensure any wax additive is part of the treatment.

Lock mechanism is difficult to operate

Lubricate the lock cylinder with a graphite-based lubricant. Ensure the door is properly aligned when closing, as misalignments can stress the lock mechanism.

Highly customizable door and window placement for optimal layout.

Cons

Assembly requires careful attention to detail for proper configuration.
Regular maintenance, despite initial treatment, may be needed for optimal lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The shed is designed for self-assembly. Ensure you have a level and firm base before starting. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, paying close attention to the recommended order of assembly. The unique feature allowing door and window placement on any side should be decided during the initial construction phase.

Compatibility: This shed is a standalone structure. Ensure adequate clearance around the shed for assembly and future maintenance. It is compatible with most standard garden environments, provided a solid foundation is prepared.

Care: The pressure-treated timber and proprietary wood preserver offer initial protection. To maintain its condition, it is recommended to clean the shed periodically with a damp cloth. Inspect the felt roof for any damage and ensure it remains securely in place. Reapply a suitable wood treatment every 1-2 years, or as needed, especially to exposed end grains, to maximize the lifespan and appearance of the timber.
