Product Information

Full details

This Rowlinson 8x6 Shiplap Apex Shed is ideal for homeowners needing secure and durable garden storage. Its key benefit is the robust, weather-resistant construction thanks to 12mm kiln-dried shiplap and pressure treatment. A potential caveat is that it requires self-assembly, demanding time and basic DIY skills. The shed features an apex roof for ample headroom, a double-braced single door with a heavy-duty pad bolt for security, and a natural timber finish that can be customized.

FAQs

What type of base is recommended for this shed?

A level and firm base is recommended, such as concrete, paving slabs, or pressure-treated timber decking. This ensures stability and longevity.

How long does the rot protection last?

The shed comes with a 15-year guarantee against rot, provided it is maintained according to the manufacturer's care instructions.

Can I paint or stain the shed?

Yes, the shed has a natural timber finish and is designed to be painted or stained to match your garden's aesthetic. Use a high-quality exterior wood treatment.

Is the shed waterproof?

The shed features 12mm shiplap cladding and premium mineral roofing felt, providing excellent resistance to rain and wind for keeping contents dry.

What tools are needed for assembly?

Typically, you will need a hammer, screwdriver (often Phillips head), a tape measure, a spirit level, and possibly a saw for minor adjustments. Always refer to the specific instructions provided.

How much headroom does the shed offer?

The apex roof design provides ample headroom, making it comfortable to use for storage and retrieval of items.

What are the external dimensions of the shed?

The external dimensions are Height: 220.0 cm, Width: 194.0 cm, and Depth: 244.0 cm.

Troubleshooting

Shed panels do not align during assembly

Ensure the base is perfectly level and that you are following the instructions step-by-step. Loosen slightly fixings on previously attached panels to allow for minor adjustments before re-tightening.

Door is stiff or does not close properly

Check that the door frame is square and that the hinges are correctly aligned and not overtightened. Ensure the ground the shed sits on is level.

Water ingress through the roof

Inspect the roofing felt for any tears or gaps. Ensure it is properly secured and overlaps correctly. Check the ridge cap if applicable.

Wood appears to be warping or splitting

This can sometimes happen with natural timber. Ensure the shed is well-ventilated and has been treated with a suitable preservative or paint. Check the warranty for potential defects.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with pressure-treated timber for rot resistance.
  • Weather-resistant shiplap cladding protects contents.
  • Generous headroom due to the apex roof design.
  • Secure door with a heavy-duty pad bolt.
  • Customizable natural timber finish.
  • 15-year guarantee against rot.

Cons

  • Requires self-assembly, which can be time-consuming.
  • OSB flooring may not be as durable as solid timber for very heavy items.
  • The single door might be restrictive for accessing larger items.
  • Natural finish requires immediate treatment to maintain timber health if left untreated.
  • Can be a significant investment for basic storage needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This shed requires self-assembly. Ensure you have a level and firm base, such as concrete or paving slabs, before starting. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, which typically involve assembling the frame, attaching the floor, fitting the back and side panels, then the roof sections and door. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly.

Compatibility: The shed is designed for outdoor garden use. Its dimensions (H:220.0 x W:194.0 x D:244.0 cm) should be considered to ensure it fits the intended space. No specific compatibility with other garden products is listed, but it serves as a standalone storage unit.

Care: To maintain the shed's appearance and prolong its life, it is recommended to treat the natural timber finish with a suitable exterior wood stain or paint. This will further protect the wood from UV rays and moisture. Regularly check the roofing felt for any damage and clear debris from the roof and around the base to ensure good airflow. Clean with a damp cloth when necessary; avoid abrasive cleaners.
