Empire Sheds Mobility Scooter Store - 4 x 5ft - Green

While the shed itself does not have a floor, a level and solid foundation is highly recommended. This could be a concrete slab, paving stones, or a timber sub-base, which will ensure stability and provide a good surface for anchoring.

Ground anchoring kits are typically purchased separately and will vary based on your base material. Common methods include using concrete expansion bolts for concrete slabs, or ground screws/spikes for softer ground, always ensuring a secure attachment point to the shed's frame.

Although pressure-treated for durability, we recommend applying a high-quality wood preservative or exterior wood stain every 1-2 years. This will further protect against weathering, maintain its appearance, and extend the shed's lifespan.

Yes, you can paint the shed. Ensure the timber is clean and dry, then apply a suitable exterior wood paint or stain according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lighter colours may require a primer for full coverage.

You will typically need basic hand tools such as a screwdriver (manual or electric), hammer, tape measure, spirit level, and potentially a drill for pilot holes or anchoring. Always refer to the specific assembly instructions provided with your shed.

Assembly time can vary depending on your DIY experience and whether you have assistance. For a shed of this size, it typically takes two people half a day to a full day to assemble, including the roof felt application and anchoring.

Yes, while designed for mobility scooters, its full-width door and sheltered space make it suitable for storing other items like large garden tools, bicycles, or outdoor equipment that benefits from easy roll-in access. Just ensure the ground surface is appropriate for what you are storing.

The shed must be securely anchored to the ground. Ensure you have used appropriate ground anchors for your base type and that they are installed correctly and tightly. Recheck all structural fixings.

Inspect the roofing felt for any tears, holes, or areas where it has lifted. Repair with roofing mastic or replace damaged sections. Also, check the tongue and groove cladding for any gaps or loose boards that might allow water ingress, sealing if necessary.

First, ensure the shed is built on a perfectly level surface. An uneven base can cause the door frame to twist. Lubricate the hinges with a suitable outdoor lubricant. Check for any obstructions or debris in the door's path.

Apply a silicone-based lubricant or WD-40 to the moving parts of the pad bolt. Ensure the door is properly aligned and not sagging, which could put pressure on the bolt mechanism.

This is normal weathering for wood. Apply a good quality exterior wood stain or preservative that matches the original green colour, or choose a new shade for a refreshed look. This will also provide additional protection.
