Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is a padlock included with the shed?

No, the shed comes with a hasp and staple catch, but you will need to provide your own padlock for security.

What kind of top coat should I use after assembly?

We recommend using a high-quality exterior wood preservative, paint, or stain specifically designed for sheds and outdoor timber structures. Choose a product that offers UV protection and waterproofing.

How often do I need to treat the shed with a top coat?

After the initial application, it's generally recommended to re-treat the shed every 1-3 years, depending on the product used and local weather conditions. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for your chosen treatment.

Can I install shelves or hooks inside the shed?

Yes, the shed features a strong 34mm square frame, making it suitable for installing shelves, hooks, or other internal storage solutions to help organize your items.

What kind of base do I need for the shed?

A firm, flat, and level base is essential. Common options include a concrete slab, paving slabs laid on a bed of sand and cement, or a specially constructed timber base. This prevents twisting and ensures proper door alignment.

Is the shed waterproof?

The shed comes with a dip-treated base coat and mineral roof felt, providing initial weather resistance. However, for full and long-lasting waterproofing, it is crucial to apply an appropriate exterior wood treatment or paint to all external timber surfaces immediately after assembly.

Are assembly instructions and fixings included?

Yes, all necessary fixings, mineral roof felt, and comprehensive assembly instructions are provided to guide you through the setup process.

Troubleshooting

Shed appears damp inside or develops mold.

Ensure the roof felt is securely attached and has no gaps. Check for any gaps in the cladding and seal if necessary. Verify the shed is on a level base to prevent water pooling. Immediately apply a thorough waterproof top coat to all exterior timber.

Doors are sticking or not closing properly.

The most common cause is an uneven base. Check the shed's foundation to ensure it is perfectly level. If the base is level, check hinge alignment and adjust if needed. Ensure no debris is obstructing the door frame.

Some timber panels show signs of splitting or warping.

Timber is a natural product and minor movement can occur. Ensure the shed is kept treated with a good quality exterior wood preservative, which helps to stabilize the timber and prevent excessive moisture ingress or egress. Small splits can often be filled with exterior wood filler and then treated.

Mineral roof felt is lifting or damaged.

Carefully re-secure any loose felt with felt adhesive or appropriate roofing nails. For larger tears, a repair patch or complete replacement of the felt may be necessary to maintain waterproofing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Cost-effective storage solution for gardens
  • Easy access for large items via double doors
  • Window provides natural light inside
  • Simple to build with included instructions and fixings
  • Dip-treated base coat offers initial wood protection
  • Traditional overlap design helps with rainwater runoff

Cons

  • Padlock for security is not included
  • OSB floor and roof may benefit from additional protection for heavy-duty use
  • Basic overlap cladding might not be as airtight as tongue and groove designs
  • Assembly is required and may need two people

Setup Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Ensure you have a firm, level base for your shed. This can be a concrete slab, paving slabs, or a timber frame base. A level base is crucial for proper door alignment and structural integrity.
  2. Unpack and Check: Carefully unpack all components and check against the provided parts list to ensure everything is present.
  3. Assemble the Floor: Lay out the OSB floor panels on your prepared base.
  4. Erect Walls: Follow the assembly instructions to fix the wall panels together, ensuring the window panel is correctly positioned.
  5. Install Roof: Attach the OSB roof panels, then cover them with the supplied mineral felt. Ensure the felt overlaps correctly to create a waterproof seal.
  6. Fit Doors: Attach the double doors, ensuring they swing freely and the hasp and staple catch align.
  7. Secure and Finalize: Double-check all fixings are tight.

Compatibility

This shed is ideal for most garden settings, compatible with various base types (concrete, paving, timber). Its traditional aesthetic blends well with different garden styles.

Care and Maintenance

  • Immediate Treatment: It is crucial to apply a high-quality exterior wood preservative or paint to all exterior surfaces immediately after assembly. The provided dip-treatment is a base coat only and will not provide long-term weather protection on its own.
  • Regular Inspection: Periodically check the shed for any signs of wear, especially the roof felt and timber panels. Reapply wood treatment as recommended by the product manufacturer, typically every 1-3 years.
  • Cleanliness: Keep the area around the shed clear of debris and vegetation to prevent moisture buildup and pest issues.
  • Door Maintenance: Lubricate hinges if doors become stiff and ensure the hasp and staple remain securely fastened.
