Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation Requirements
Before delivery, ensure you have a firm, level base prepared. This can be a concrete slab, paved area, or a pressure-treated timber sub-frame. A level base is critical because the tongue-and-groove assembly will not align properly on uneven ground, which could lead to door misalignment or roof gaps.
Assembly Process
- Prepare the site by clearing all vegetation and leveling the ground.
- Lay out all components and check against the included ironmongery list.
- Assemble the timber frame first, ensuring it is square.
- Attach composite cladding panels sequentially, utilizing the tongue-and-groove system.
- Install the EPDM rubber roof membrane according to the instructions for a watertight seal.
Care and Maintenance
While the composite cladding is virtually maintenance-free, a quick annual wash with soapy water will keep the grey finish looking fresh. Ensure that nearby tree branches are kept trimmed back to prevent them from scratching the finish during high winds.
