FAQs

Is a padlock included with the shed?

No, a padlock is not included. The shed is supplied with a hasp and staple catch, ready for you to attach your own padlock to enhance security.

Do I need to treat the wood after assembly?

Yes, the shed is dip-treated with a base coat, but it is essential to apply a high-quality wood preservative or paint immediately after assembly to provide full protection against weather and rot.

Are windows available for this shed?

No, this particular model is designed to be windowless for enhanced security and privacy, preventing visibility into the shed's contents.

What type of base do I need for the shed?

It is crucial to install the shed on a firm, level base. Suitable options include a concrete slab, paving slabs, or a purpose-built wooden shed base to ensure stability and drainage.

How long does assembly typically take?

Assembly time can vary depending on experience, but with two people, it typically takes a few hours. Comprehensive instructions are provided to guide you through the process.

What is the roof and floor made of?

Both the roof and floor are constructed from solid OSB (Oriented Strand Board), providing a sturdy and reliable structure. Mineral roof felt is also supplied for weatherproofing the roof.

Can I store heavy items in the shed?

Yes, the solid OSB floor is designed to support the weight of typical garden equipment and tools. However, avoid storing excessively heavy point loads without additional support.

Troubleshooting

Shed feels unstable after assembly

Ensure the shed is built on a perfectly level and firm base. Check all fixings are tightened securely. If installed in an exposed area, consider anchoring the shed to the ground.

Water pooling inside the shed

Verify that the roof felt is properly installed, overlapping correctly, and free from damage. Check that the shed is sitting on a level base to prevent water ingress from the bottom. Apply a high-quality sealant around the base if necessary.

Doors are stiff or difficult to close

Check for obstructions in the door frame or hinges. Ensure the shed structure is square and level; adjust the base if needed. Lubricate hinges with a suitable outdoor lubricant if necessary. Inspect for any warping of the door panels.

Wood developing mold or mildew

This indicates poor ventilation or excessive moisture. Ensure there is adequate airflow within the shed; keep doors open periodically on dry days. Consider adding additional vents if not present. Reapply a suitable wood treatment that includes anti-fungal properties.

Difficulty aligning panels during assembly

Ensure your base is completely level and square. Carefully follow the assembly instructions, making sure not to overtighten screws until all panels are loosely in place and aligned. A second person can greatly assist with panel alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your Shire Shed requires attention to detail for optimal performance and longevity. Begin by preparing a perfectly level and firm base; suitable options include a concrete slab, paving slabs, or a purpose-built wooden shed base. All necessary fixings, mineral roof felt, and comprehensive assembly instructions are provided. We recommend having two people for assembly to safely handle panels and ensure accurate construction. Follow the step-by-step guide carefully, ensuring all panels are square and securely fastened.

Compatibility

This shed is designed for general outdoor storage in residential garden or yard environments. Its 8 x 6ft footprint is a common size, fitting well into most garden layouts. Ensure your chosen location has adequate space around the shed for future maintenance and door operation.

Care

Upon assembly, it is crucial to immediately apply a high-quality exterior wood preservative or paint to all external timber surfaces. Although the shed comes dip-treated with a base coat, this is only for initial protection and requires a top coat for full weatherproofing against rot, decay, and fungal attack. Reapply this treatment periodically as per the manufacturer's recommendations. Regularly inspect the mineral roof felt for any tears or damage and repair promptly to prevent water ingress. Keep the area around the shed clear of debris and ensure the double doors operate smoothly, lubricating hinges if necessary. Proper ventilation is key to preventing condensation and mold buildup inside; consider adding additional vents if you notice excessive moisture.
