FAQs

What kind of timber is the shed made from?

The Power Apex Shed is crafted from premium, high-grade Scandinavian timber, renowned for its strength, durability, and natural resistance to decay.

How long does the initial wood treatment last?

Each timber component undergoes a thorough dip treatment with an advanced wood preservative and wax additive, providing a full year of protection against rot and decay. After this period, annual re-treatment is recommended.

Can I change the position of the door and windows?

Yes, a key feature of this shed is its modular design. You can choose to place the door and windows in any position on any side of the shed during the self-assembly process, offering great flexibility for your garden layout.

Is it difficult to assemble the shed myself?

The shed is designed for easy self-assembly and includes all necessary components, a fixing kit (nails, screws, handle, turn buttons), and clear instructions. While some DIY experience is helpful, it is manageable for most users.

What is 'shiplap T&G cladding'?

Shiplap tongue and groove (T&G) cladding refers to a method of joining timber boards where each board has a groove on one edge and a 'tongue' on the other. These interlock, creating a strong, weather-tight seal and a smooth, attractive finish, superior to overlap cladding.

Do I need to paint the shed?

The shed comes in a natural timber finish with an initial preservative treatment. While painting is not required for protection for the first year, you can choose to paint or stain it in a color of your choice after the initial treatment period to match your garden aesthetic or for added protection.

What type of base do I need for the shed?

Info needed: A solid, level base is crucial for the stability and longevity of your shed. Common options include a concrete slab, paving slabs laid on a level sand/cement bed, or a robust timber frame base. Ensure good drainage around the base.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty aligning panels during assembly

Ensure your base is completely level and square. Double-check that all timber pieces are oriented correctly according to the instructions before securing them. Loosely fit components first, then tighten once everything is in place.

Water pooling on the roof or internal leaks

Inspect the roof felt for any punctures, tears, or areas where it may have lifted. Ensure sufficient overlap and proper sealing where the felt joins. Verify that the cladding panels are correctly overlapped and tightly secured, especially around window and door frames.

Wood showing signs of weathering or decay after the first year

This indicates the initial preservative treatment is wearing off. Apply a high-quality exterior wood preservative or shed stain to all exterior timber surfaces. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application. Regular annual treatment is essential for long-term protection.

Door or windows sticking / difficult to open or close

Check the alignment of the door/window frames and hinges. The shed may have settled slightly, causing minor shifts. Adjust hinges as needed or plane down any areas of timber that are rubbing. Ensure all screws are tight but not overtightened, which can warp the wood.

Care & Maintenance

  • Initial Protection: The shed comes dip-treated with an advanced wood preservative, providing a full year of protection. No immediate additional treatment is required upon setup.

  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior with a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt, mildew, and debris. Check the roof felt for any tears or lifting and repair as necessary.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the shed for any signs of wear, loose fixings, or damage. Tighten screws, re-seal any gaps, and address issues promptly to prevent further problems.
