FAQs
What is the warranty period for this shed?
Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's warranty information specific to this product model for details on the warranty period and coverage.
Do I need to treat the timber myself?
No, the timber is tanalised and pressure-treated for protection against rot and insect attack, so no immediate treatment is required.
Can I paint or stain this shed?
Yes, you can paint or stain the shed if you wish to change its appearance, but it is not necessary for its protection.
What is the best way to secure the shed to the ground?
It is recommended to secure the shed to a solid foundation. Specific anchoring kits may be available separately depending on your ground type and security needs.
How resistant is the shed to strong winds?
The robust framing, fully framed panels, and double-nailed shiplap cladding provide good rigidity. However, it should always be securely anchored to a level base for maximum stability in windy conditions.
What are the exact internal dimensions?
The external dimensions are H:211.0 x W:302.0 x D:180.0 cm. Internal dimensions will be slightly smaller due to the thickness of the framing and cladding.
Troubleshooting
Shed door is difficult to close or open.
Check if the shed is level and if the doors have shifted. Adjust the hinges if necessary or ensure the turn button is fully disengaged.
Water ingress into the shed.
Inspect the roof felt for any tears or damage and ensure the roof joints are sealed. Check that the wall panels are properly interlocked and the floor is seated correctly.
Wood appears to be degrading or showing signs of rot.
This is unlikely with tanalised pressure-treated timber. If signs appear, ensure there is no prolonged contact with standing water and consider applying a suitable wood preservative to the affected area.
Parts missing or damaged upon arrival.
Contact the retailer or manufacturer immediately with a description of the missing or damaged parts and your order details.
