Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of wood is used for the shed?

The shed is constructed from European white Spruce (Picea Abies), which is kiln-dried and pressure-treated.

Does the shed come painted or stained?

No, the shed is supplied in a natural timber finish and is ready to be painted or stained by the user to match their garden's aesthetic.

What are the overall external dimensions of the shed?

The maximum overall dimensions are approximately Length 127 cm x Width 131.5 cm x Height 211 cm.

Is the floor made of solid timber?

No, the floor is made from construction-grade, moisture-resistant OSB, which offers good structural integrity and resistance to warping.

What is the size of the door opening?

The door opening has a width of approximately 71.5 cm and a height of 168 cm.

Does the shed include a base?

No, a base is not included. A level and firm foundation needs to be prepared by the user before assembly.

How long does the pressure treatment last?

The pressure treatment provides long-lasting protection against rot and insects. Regular maintenance and reapplication of wood preservatives will further extend the shed's lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Shed door is difficult to close or sticks.

Check for obstructions or warping. Ensure the door hinges are correctly aligned and tightened. Minor adjustments to the bracing or hinges may be needed.

Water ingress or leaks.

Inspect the roofing felt for tears or damage and repair or replace as needed. Ensure all shiplap joints are tight and that any paint or preservative treatment is intact. Check the seal around the door.

Timber appears to be swelling or warping.

Ensure the shed is adequately ventilated and not situated in an area prone to prolonged dampness. Apply a protective wood treatment if not already done, especially to end grains and edges.

Fixings feel loose after assembly.

Re-tighten all screws and bolts. Ensure they are appropriate for the material and fully engaged. Wood glue can be used on joints for added stability if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with high-quality shiplap cladding.
  • Pressure-treated timber for enhanced rot and insect resistance.
  • Weather-resistant design thanks to interlocking shiplap and felt roof.
  • Secure storage with a heavy-duty pad bolt and braced door.
  • Customizable natural finish allows for aesthetic personalization.
  • Compact 4x4 size is ideal for smaller gardens or limited space.

Cons

  • Requires user assembly.
  • Natural finish needs treatment (painting/staining) for full weather protection and aesthetic longevity.
  • No windows, limiting natural light inside.
  • OSB floor and roof, while durable, may be less resistant to prolonged direct water exposure than solid timber alternatives.
  • Base for the shed is not included and must be prepared separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This shed is supplied flat-packed and requires assembly. Ensure you have a level and firm base, such as concrete slabs or a timber foundation, for installation. Follow the provided assembly instructions carefully, paying attention to the order of components and securing all fixings tightly. The area required for installation is slightly larger than the shed's footprint to allow for assembly and access.

Compatibility: The shed is designed as a standalone unit. It is compatible with most standard garden accessories and shelving systems, provided they fit within the internal dimensions. The natural timber finish allows compatibility with a wide range of exterior paints and stains.

Care: To maintain the shed's appearance and longevity, it is recommended to treat the timber regularly with a suitable wood preservative, stain, or paint. This should be applied to all surfaces, including the underside of the floor and the edges of the cladding. Clean the shed periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Check fixings and hinges occasionally to ensure they remain tight and free from corrosion. Inspect the roofing felt for any damage and repair promptly to prevent leaks.
