FAQs
Is the wood already treated?
Yes, the timber is pressure-treated to Use Class 3 standards for superior protection against rot and fungal decay.
Do I need to buy extra materials for the floor?
No, the unit comes with 18mm floor planks and integral bearers, so no additional flooring materials are required.
Does it contain any chipboard or OSB?
No, the construction uses solid Swedish red-wood throughout, excluding chipboard or OSB to ensure durability.
How many people are needed to assemble this?
Due to the size of the panels and the weight of the timber, we recommend two people for safe and efficient assembly.
What is the warranty period?
This product is backed by a 15-year manufacturer guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty aligning panels during assembly
Ensure the foundation base is perfectly level; even a slight slant can prevent tongue and groove joints from fitting correctly.
Roof felt is tearing or misaligned
Ensure the felt is pulled taut across the roof frame and fixed with galvanized nails at consistent intervals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Base Preparation: Ensure your ground is perfectly level. We recommend a solid concrete base, paving slabs, or a pressure-treated timber frame base.
- Assembly: The unit arrives flat-packed. Ensure you have a drill, screwdriver, and level ready. Follow the provided instructions carefully, working in a calm, clear area.
- Hardware: Use all provided galvanised ironmongery to ensure the structure remains secure against strong winds.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the turn buttons and hinges for tightness. While the timber is pressure-treated, applying an additional water-repellent preservative every few years will help maintain its appearance and weather resistance.
