Product Information
Full details
The Power Apex Potting Shed 12x8ft is an ideal choice for dedicated gardeners who require a versatile and durable workspace for propagation and storage. Its primary benefit is its highly adaptable configuration, allowing users to place doors and windows in various positions during assembly to suit specific garden layouts. While it offers excellent build quality, users should note that as a timber structure, it requires periodic maintenance beyond the initial one-year preservative period to maintain its structural integrity and aesthetic condition.

FAQs
Can I put the door on the side instead of the front?
Yes, the Power Apex Potting Shed is designed for modular assembly, allowing you to choose the placement of the door and windows during the build.
Do I need to treat the timber immediately?
No, the timber is dip-treated with a preservative that includes a wax additive, meaning it is protected for the first year.
What type of foundation is best?
A concrete base, a paved area, or a pressure-treated timber frame base that is perfectly level is recommended for best results.
Is the glass safe?
Yes, the shed uses toughened safety glass, which is far more durable and safer than standard horticultural glass.
How many people are needed for assembly?
Due to the size of the panels and the weight of the timber, it is strongly recommended that at least two people perform the assembly.
Troubleshooting
Door is sticking or not closing flush
Check if the base has shifted or become unlevel; use a spirit level to confirm the frame is square and adjust the foundation pads as needed.
Water pooling on the roof
Ensure the shed is completely level; if it is level and water still pools, check that the roof felt is pulled tight and secured properly without sagging.
Key is difficult to turn in the lock
Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant to the keyhole and ensure the door frame has not settled, which could be putting pressure on the latch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure you have a flat, level base such as a concrete slab or pressure-treated timber bearers to prevent the shed from twisting over time. Because this is a self-assembly kit, verify you have a drill, hammer, and spirit level on hand. The shed features dip-treated timber; while it arrives ready for use, you must re-apply a high-quality timber preservative annually to prevent rot and moisture damage. Regularly inspect the roof felt for tears caused by high winds or debris. Ensure all door hinges remain lubricated to prevent the 5-pin lock from binding over time.
