FAQs

What kind of base do I need?

A level and stable base is essential. Concrete or paving slabs are the best options.

Is the shed treated?

Yes, the shed is dip-treated with a base coat. A top coat should be applied immediately after assembly.

Does the shed come with a padlock?

No, a padlock is not included. You will need to supply your own.

What are the dimensions of the shed?

The shed is 12x8 feet, but you should check the exact dimensions on the product details before purchase to ensure it fits your needs.

What is the shed made from?

It is made from high-grade, slow-grown, FSC-approved European pine.

How do I maintain the shed?

Inspect the shed regularly, reapply wood preservative every 1-2 years, and keep it clean.

Are the individual boards supposed to line up perfectly?

No, due to the variances in the natural timber cladding, the individual boards may not line up perfectly with those on adjacent panels.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty assembling the shed.

Double-check the instructions and ensure all parts are correctly identified. If necessary, seek assistance from a friend or consider contacting customer support.

Water leaking into the shed.

Ensure the roof felt is properly installed and that there are no gaps or tears. Check that the shed is level and that the doors and windows (if applicable) close properly. Apply sealant if needed.

Door is difficult to open or close.

Check the hinges and latches for any obstructions. Lubricate the hinges with a suitable product. Ensure the shed is level and the frame is square.
