Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Foundation: Choose a flat, level, and firm base (e.g., concrete slab, paving slabs, or a timber base kit) to ensure stability and proper drainage. Elevating the shed slightly can further protect the base from ground moisture.
- Assembly: Follow the provided manufacturer's instructions meticulously. All necessary fixtures, fittings, and roofing felt are included. It's recommended to have at least two people for assembly, especially when erecting walls and attaching the roof.
- Weatherproofing: Ensure all joins are sealed correctly. Apply the included roofing felt as instructed to create a waterproof barrier for the roof.
Compatibility
This shed is designed for general outdoor storage of garden tools, equipment, outdoor furniture, and other items requiring protection from weather and enhanced security. Its dimensions (4 x 6ft) make it suitable for smaller to medium-sized gardens.
Care & Maintenance
- Annual Re-treatment: To maintain the 10-year anti-rot guarantee and prolong the life of the timber, the shed *must* be re-treated annually with a suitable timber preservative.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior with a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt, debris, and moss build-up, which can trap moisture.
- Inspection: Regularly check the roofing felt for tears or damage and repair as needed. Inspect all screws and fittings for tightness and tighten if necessary. Ensure the base remains free of standing water.
