What are the external dimensions of the shed?
The product title indicates a 6x4 shed. For precise external dimensions, please consult the detailed specifications provided by the manufacturer or retailer.

Can I paint or stain the shed?
Yes, you can paint or stain the shed. While it is pressure-treated, applying an exterior wood stain or paint will further protect the timber and enhance its appearance. Ensure the wood is dry and clean before application.
Troubleshooting
Shed panels do not align correctly during assembly
Ensure the base is perfectly level. Loosen screws on adjacent panels slightly to allow for adjustment, then re-tighten securely.
Water ingress from the roof
Check that the roof felt is installed correctly, with adequate overlap. Inspect for any tears or damage and repair with appropriate roofing felt adhesive or patch.
Door is difficult to close or stick
Verify the shed structure is square and level. Check hinges for proper alignment and lubricate them. Minor adjustments to the door frame or latch may be necessary.
Floor feels damp or shows signs of rot
Ensure the base is well-drained and has adequate air circulation. If rot is present, the affected timber may need replacement. Ensure regular treatment of the floor if it is in direct contact with the ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Choose a Location: Select a level, firm site for the shed. Ensure adequate space around the shed for assembly and future maintenance.

Assembly: Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. The modular panels can be assembled sequentially. It is recommended to have two people for lifting and positioning larger sections.
Roofing: Attach the felt roofing securely, ensuring it overlaps correctly to prevent water ingress.
Compatibility:
This shed is designed as a standalone structure.
Ensure the ground is suitable for supporting the weight of the shed and its contents.
Care:
Cleaning: Clean the shed periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Treatment: While the timber is pressure-treated, re-applying a suitable wood preservative or stain every few years, especially to the exterior, can further enhance its lifespan and appearance.
Roof Felt: Inspect the roof felt annually for any signs of wear or damage. Repair or replace as needed to maintain waterproofing.
Door & Lock: Lubricate the lock and hinges annually to ensure smooth operation.
