Setup, Compatibility & Care
Base Preparation: Ensure your ground is perfectly level and solid before starting. A flat base is critical for the doors to align correctly.
Tool Requirements: You will need a cordless drill, a rubber mallet, a spirit level, and a ladder for roofing.
Treatment: While pressure-treated, applying an additional wood preservative or water-repellent sealant annually will extend the life of the timber significantly.
Placement: Avoid placing the shed in areas with overhanging trees where debris may accumulate on the felt roof, as this can lead to moisture retention.
Maintenance: Regularly check that all galvanised hinges remain tight and that the roof felt has no rips or tears to prevent leaks.
