Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Base Preparation: Ensure a flat, level base is prepared before assembly. This could be a patio, concrete slab, or a base constructed from treated timber.
- Assembly: Follow the illustrated assembly instructions included in the packaging. Two to three people are recommended for easier handling.
- Treatment: After assembly, apply a quality wood preservative to all wooden parts to protect the summerhouse and maintain the manufacturer's warranty.
Compatibility
The Shire Delmora Summerhouse is compatible with various garden types, provided the base is suitable. Avoid placing the summerhouse directly on soil, grass, or gravel.
Care
- Regular Inspection: Inspect the summerhouse regularly for any signs of wear or damage.
- Cleaning: Clean the windows and doors with a mild detergent and water.
- Wood Treatment: Reapply wood preservative every 1-2 years, or as needed, to protect the wood from the elements.
- Guttering: Consider adding guttering to manage rainwater runoff and protect the roof and walls.
