FAQs
What is the recommended base for this shed?
A solid, level base such as concrete slabs or a timber foundation is recommended to ensure stability and longevity of the structure.
Does the shed come pre-painted?
The shed is dip-treated and ready for a top coat application. It is not pre-painted with a final color.
How often should I re-treat the wood?
It is recommended to reapply a protective top coat or preservative every 1-2 years, depending on weather exposure and the type of finish used.
Can the log store be used for anything else?
While designed for logs, the space can be used for other garden storage where airflow is beneficial, such as compost bins or bulky items.
What is the benefit of the slatted log store side?
The slatted design allows for continuous air circulation, which is essential for drying and seasoning firewood, preventing dampness and rot.
Is assembly straightforward?
Assembly is designed to be manageable for most DIY enthusiasts. Clear instructions are provided, but having a second person can be helpful for certain steps.
Troubleshooting
Warping or cracking of wood
This can occur due to extreme weather changes. Ensure the unit is properly sealed with a top coat. If significant, contact customer support.
Door not closing properly
Check if the shed is level and if the frame has shifted. Minor adjustments to hinges or the frame may be necessary. Ensure no obstructions are in the doorway.
Log store not drying logs effectively
Ensure the slats are not blocked by debris. Verify that air can circulate freely around the logs stored within.
Felt roof peeling or damaged
Inspect the felt for tears or lifting. Small repairs can be made with appropriate felt adhesive. Significant damage may require felt replacement.
