FAQs
What type of wood is used for the Timberdale Shed?
The shed is constructed using 12mm premium Tongue & Groove timber. The floor is also pressure-treated Tongue & Groove.
Can I change the position of the door and windows after assembly?
The shed features interchangeable modular framed sections, allowing you to select door and window positions during the initial assembly. Once built, significant repositioning would require partial disassembly.
Is the shed suitable for storing heavy items?
Yes, the robust construction, including the pressure-treated Tongue & Groove floor, makes it suitable for storing heavy garden equipment.
Does the shed come with a base?
The shed does not include a base. It requires a firm, level, and solid base such as concrete or paving slabs to be prepared by the user prior to assembly.
How often should I re-treat the wood?
While the timber is treated, re-applying a wood preserver or stain every 1-2 years is recommended to maintain its condition and appearance.
What are the dimensions of the shed?
This guide refers to the 'Forest Garden Timberdale 7X7 Reverse Apex Shed'. Specific dimensions can be found in the product's detailed specifications list, but the title indicates a 7x7 foot footprint.
Is the shed weatherproof?
Yes, it is designed to be weatherproof, featuring a high-grade felted roof with polypropylene backing and Tongue & Groove construction to minimize water ingress. Proper setup and maintenance are key to its performance.
Troubleshooting
Shed door is difficult to close or sticks.
Check if the shed base is level. Ensure no panels have shifted. Inspect hinges for obstructions and lubricate if necessary. Adjust door alignment if possible by slightly loosening and retightening frame screws.
Water ingress noticed inside the shed.
Inspect the roof felt for any tears or lifting; repair with felt adhesive. Check the seals around windows and doors for gaps. Ensure the base is adequately drained and the shed is not sitting in standing water.
Wood appears to be fading or discolored.
This is a natural process for wood exposed to sunlight. Apply a fresh coat of wood stain or preserver suitable for your shed's finish to restore color and add protection.
The lock mechanism is stiff or not engaging.
Clean any dust or debris from the lock and latch. Apply a graphite-based lubricant or a silicone spray to the lock cylinder and bolt mechanism. Ensure the door is fully closed before attempting to lock.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Base Preparation: Ensure a firm, level, and solid base is prepared. A concrete slab or a sturdy paving base is recommended for optimal stability and to prevent the floor from warping.
Assembly: Follow the provided assembly instructions carefully. Due to the size and weight of the panels, assembly is typically a two-person job.
Modular Sections: During assembly, decide on the final placement of the door and window panels and secure them according to the instructions.
Compatibility:
The Timberdale Shed is designed as a standalone garden structure. Ensure adequate space around the shed for door operation and maintenance.
The modular design allows for flexibility in window and door placement, but the overall footprint remains fixed.
Care:
Wood Treatment: While the timber is pressure-treated for longevity, periodic re-treatment with a suitable wood preserver or stain is recommended every 1-2 years to maintain its appearance and further protect against weather.
Cleaning: Clean the shed exterior and interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Roof Felt: Inspect the roof felt regularly for any damage or lifting. Minor repairs can be made with suitable felt adhesive.
Door & Lock: Lubricate the lock mechanism periodically to ensure smooth operation. Keep the door hinges clean.
