The Rowlinson 8x6 Shiplap Apex Shed is designed for homeowners seeking a durable and attractive outdoor storage solution. Its key benefit lies in its robust construction, featuring prime grade shiplap cladding and a pressure-treated finish for long-term protection against the elements. A potential consideration is its natural timber finish, which requires painting or staining to match garden aesthetics and provide optimal weather resistance.

A level and solid base is essential for stability. Concrete slabs, a paving base, or a purpose-built shed base are recommended to prevent the shed from shifting or warping.
No, the shed comes in a natural timber finish and requires painting or staining to protect the wood and achieve your desired look.
The Rowlinson 8x6 Shiplap Apex Shed comes with a 15-year guarantee against rot, subject to terms and conditions.
Assembly is possible for individuals with DIY experience. However, due to its size, it is recommended to have two people for a smoother and safer construction process.
Construction grade OSB (Oriented Strand Board) is used for its structural integrity, providing a solid floor and roof that is resistant to warping even in varying humidity levels.
It is recommended to reapply preservative, stain, or paint annually to maintain the timber's protection against the elements and prolong the shed's lifespan.
The external dimensions are Height: 220.0 cm, Width: 194.0 cm, and Depth: 244.0 cm.
Check that the shed is square and the base is level. Ensure hinges are correctly aligned and tightened. Minor adjustments to the door position might be needed, or you could consider adding a small hinge shim.
Verify that the mineral roofing felt is intact and properly sealed. Ensure shiplap boards are tightly interlocked. If leaks persist, re-seal any visible gaps with a suitable exterior sealant.
Ensure the shed is situated on a level base with good ventilation. Treat the timber with a suitable preservative or paint. Avoid placing heavy items directly against the walls internally, which can impede airflow.
Lubricate the bolt and the locking mechanism with a silicone-based lubricant or graphite powder. Ensure the bolt receiver on the door frame is aligned correctly with the bolt.
Setup: Before assembly, ensure you have a level and solid base, such as concrete or paving slabs, to site the shed. Clear adequate space around the intended location for ease of construction. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly due to the size of the panels and doors. Follow the included manufacturer's instructions carefully, paying attention to the order of panel installation and fixing points. Ensure all screws and fixings are tightened securely.
Compatibility: This shed is designed as a standalone structure. Ensure the base is perfectly level and square to allow all components to fit correctly. No specific electrical or plumbing compatibility is mentioned; it is primarily for storage.
Care: To maintain the longevity and appearance of your shed, it is crucial to treat the natural timber finish. Apply a good quality wood preservative, stain, or paint to all exterior surfaces, including the underside of the floor and the top edges of the roof, immediately after assembly and annually thereafter. This will protect the timber from UV rays and moisture, preventing drying, cracking, and rot. Regularly check and clear the roof felt of debris to ensure proper water runoff. Inspect fixings periodically and tighten if necessary. Ensure the area around the shed is kept clear of vegetation to allow airflow.
