Product Information

Full details

The Rowlinson Airevale Plastic Apex Shed in Grey is designed for homeowners seeking a resilient, weather-resistant, and low-maintenance garden storage solution. Its primary benefit is its durable construction, which resists rot and pests unlike traditional timber. A potential caveat is that it requires self-assembly and does not include flooring material beyond the foundational kit. Key features include lockable doors for security, integrated gable vents for ventilation, a UV-protected polypropylene build, and a steel foundation kit.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What tools are needed for assembly?

Assembly typically requires basic tools such as a screwdriver, a hammer, and potentially a spirit level and measuring tape. Specific requirements will be detailed in the product's instruction manual.

Does the shed come with a floor?

No, the shed includes a steel foundation kit, but you will need to purchase and install your own solid board flooring material to fit within the foundation frame.

Is the shed secure?

The shed features a lockable door, but a padlock is not included. You will need to provide your own padlock for security.

What is the warranty period?

The Rowlinson Airevale Plastic Apex Shed comes with a 1-year manufacturer guarantee.

Can I paint the shed?

While the shed is constructed from UV-protected polypropylene and designed to be low-maintenance, painting is generally not recommended as it may affect the material's properties and the manufacturer's warranty.

What are the external dimensions of the shed?

The external dimensions are Height: 204.0 cm x Width: 134.0 cm x Depth: 104.0 cm.

How do I clean the plastic exterior?

You can clean the shed using a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Shed panels do not align correctly during assembly

Ensure the base is perfectly level. Double-check that you are using the correct panels for the current step as per the instruction manual. Loosen screws slightly on adjacent panels to allow for adjustment before fully tightening.

Water ingress through the roof or walls

Verify that all roof panels and wall joints are securely fastened and sealed according to the instructions. Check the apex ridge for proper fitting. Ensure the shed is situated on a level surface to allow for adequate water runoff.

Door is difficult to lock or closes improperly

Check that the door frame is square and not distorted. Ensure no objects are obstructing the door's path. Adjust the hinges if necessary, following the manufacturer's guidelines for hinge alignment.

Condensation inside the shed

Ensure the gable vents are clear and not blocked by debris. Improve air circulation by temporarily opening the door on dry, breezy days. Consider adding a dehumidifier for persistent issues, especially in damp climates.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable and weather-resistant construction.
  • Requires minimal maintenance; no painting or treating needed.
  • Built-in ventilation helps prevent condensation.
  • Includes a foundation kit for a stable and elevated base.
  • Resistant to rot, rust, and common garden pests.

Cons

  • Requires self-assembly, which can be time-consuming.
  • Padlock for the door is not included.
  • Does not include flooring material; a separate purchase is necessary.
  • Single window provides limited natural light.
  • Plastic construction may not appeal to all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This shed requires self-assembly. It is recommended to have two people for easier construction. Ensure you have a level and firm base area before starting. The included steel foundation kit should be assembled first. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the manual for assembling the panels, roof, and door.

Compatibility:

  • Flooring: The steel foundation kit is designed to accommodate standard solid board flooring. You will need to purchase your preferred flooring material separately (e.g., timber boards) to fit within the foundation frame.
  • Padlock: The shed door has a locking mechanism; a standard padlock is required for full security (padlock not included).

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the exterior and interior with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the plastic.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check that all panels are secure and the door mechanism operates smoothly. Ensure vents remain clear of debris.
