FAQs
What type of timber is used for the Shire Miami Garden Studio?
The studio is crafted from high-quality Loglap timber, known for its durability and natural aesthetic.
Do I need to prepare a base before installation?
Yes, a level and solid base (e.g., concrete slabs, paving) is essential for stability and to prevent moisture problems. The base should be slightly larger than the studio's footprint.
Is the studio suitable for use all year round?
The Loglap timber and tongue & groove cladding provide some insulation, making it more comfortable than a basic shed. However, for intense cold or heat, additional insulation might be considered depending on usage.
What is included with the garden studio?
The studio comes with full assembly instructions, roofing felt, and all necessary fixings.
How often should I treat the timber?
It is recommended to treat the timber annually with a suitable wood preservative and sealant to maintain its condition and appearance.
Can I install this myself?
Assembly is possible with careful attention to the instructions, but due to its size, it is recommended that two people undertake the assembly process.
What are the dimensions of the roof overhang?
The roof extends approximately 2 feet out from the front of the building.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty assembling panels
Ensure panels are aligned correctly and that no debris is obstructing the interlocking mechanism. Refer to specific diagrams in the instruction manual.
Condensation inside the studio
Ensure adequate ventilation. Check that windows can be opened if designed to do so, and that there is airflow around the base of the structure.
Wood appears weathered or discoloured
The timber may require re-treatment. Apply a suitable wood preservative and sealant following manufacturer guidelines.
Roof felt is damaged or lifting
Inspect the felt for tears or separation. Replace damaged sections using appropriate adhesive or seek professional repair if extensive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The studio requires a level and solid base, such as concrete slabs or a paved area, to ensure stability and prevent moisture issues. Ensure the base is slightly larger than the footprint of the studio. Follow the provided full instructions carefully for assembly, as this is a substantial structure. It is recommended that two people undertake the assembly.
Compatibility: This garden studio is designed as a standalone structure. No specific electrical or plumbing compatibility is implied in its standard design. Ensure adequate space around the structure for assembly and future access.
Care: To maintain the timber's appearance and longevity, regular treatment with a suitable wood preservative and sealant is essential, especially for outdoor exposure. Reapply treatments annually or as recommended by the product's care instructions. Keep the area around the base clear of debris and vegetation to allow for air circulation and prevent dampness. Clean the windows and timber surfaces with a damp cloth as needed.
