Product Information

Full details

The Shire Rothesay Shiplap Apex Garden Shed is ideal for homeowners looking for a reliable, classic storage solution for garden tools and equipment. Its key benefit lies in its durable shiplap construction and rust-resistant exterior fittings, providing long-term protection against the elements; however, potential owners should note that it requires a solid, level foundation to ensure the structural integrity of the apex roof and doors.

FAQs

Does the shed come painted?

The shed is typically supplied with a base coat finish. It is recommended to apply a topcoat of wood preservative or paint shortly after assembly.

Can I assemble this shed by myself?

It is highly recommended to have at least two people for assembly to safely manage the panels and roofing sections.

What type of base is best for this shed?

A solid, level concrete pad or a well-drained paving slab base is the best foundation for stability.

Are the windows made of glass?

The windows are standard horticultural grade, designed for the aesthetic of the Rothesay range.

How often should I treat the wood?

You should apply a high-quality timber treatment at least once a year to keep the wood protected from rot and insect damage.

Troubleshooting

Door is sticking or not closing properly

Check that the shed base is perfectly level and that the door hinges are tightened securely.

Water pooling on the roof

Ensure the shed is on flat ground and check that the apex panels are aligned correctly at the ridge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your shed, it must be installed on a firm, level base, such as concrete, paving slabs, or a pressure-treated timber frame. Avoid placing the shed directly on grass or soil, as moisture transfer can accelerate wood decay. While the shed comes with treated fittings, it is recommended to apply a high-quality wood preservative annually to maintain the integrity of the timber panels. During assembly, ensure all panels are squared correctly to allow the single access door to open and close without obstruction.
