The Shire 10 x 8 feet overlap apex wooden shed offers secure storage for your gardening equipment....The Shire 10 x 8 feet overlap apex wooden shed offers secure storage for your gardening equipment. Its attractive design, highlighted by double doors, enhances any garden. Safety-glazed windows, which can be installed on either side, let in ample light while remaining non-opening. The double doors are positioned in the 8', gable end, and the high eaves provide easy access to all areas of the shed. This Shire Overlap offers great storage at an affordable price. Its double doors allow easy access for larger items. Supplied with a hasp and staple catch supplied to fit to the door, ready for your own padlock, it is ready to keep everything safe and secure. Both roof and floor are constructed from solid OSB. Its window allows light to flow in and is supplied with mineral felt to weatherproof the building. The building is dip-treated with a base coat ready for top coating immediately after assembly. All fixings, mineral roof felt and assembly instructions are provided. The Shire Value Overlap Garden Shed 10x8 with Windows is part of a range of apex roof sheds made from kiln-dried timber, making them much more resistant to warping. They feature 34x34mm thickness framing that is usually reserved for more expensive tongue and groove buildings. This 10x8 shed also features windowed side panels that can be placed on either side of the building to best suit the position of the shed in your garden. The glazing is safety styrene to the fixed windows. The roof and floor are formed from a solid sheet boarding, again on a 34x34mm framing. The wall panels are constructed of overlap cladding and supplied in modular sections. The main advantage of a modular design is that each individual panel should be small enough (in one or both dimensions) to be carried by one person. As a concequence the individual boards may not line up perfectly with those on adjacent panels, due to the variances in the natural timber cladding. Access is provided by a handy wide double door, complete with a hasp and staple (customer to supply padlock).
This guide is designed for owners of the Shire 10 x 8ft Overlap Apex Shed. It provides essential information to help you understand, assemble, and maintain your shed, ensuring it provides secure and lasting storage for your garden equipment. Be aware that while the modular design facilitates easier assembly, minor imperfections in panel alignment may occur due to the natural timber cladding.
