Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a level, firm base such as a concrete slab or pressure-treated timber bearers to prevent the structure from warping or sinking. Due to the weight of the high-grade timber, two people are required for safe assembly. All necessary fixings are included. Maintenance is essential for longevity: the factory-applied dip treatment with a wax additive serves as a base layer. You must apply a high-quality timber preservative or treatment within 12 months of installation, and ideally once every year thereafter, to prevent rot and weather damage. Periodically check the roof felt for tears and ensure the door hinges are tightened to maintain a secure seal.
