Troubleshooting
Shed panels do not align correctly
Ensure the base is perfectly level and that you are following the assembly instructions precisely. Loosen fixings slightly on adjacent panels to allow for adjustment before fully tightening.
Door is difficult to open or close
Check that the door frame is square and that no cladding panels are obstructing its movement. Adjust hinges if necessary or ensure the floor surface beneath the door is clear.
Roof felt is not sitting flat
Ensure the OSB roof boards are securely fixed and flat before applying the felt. If necessary, use additional felt tacks to secure any loose edges.
Shed leaks water
Inspect the roof felt for tears or gaps. Check the seal where the roof meets the walls and around the door. Ensure the topcoat has been applied effectively to all exterior surfaces.
