Product Information

Full details

The Shire Durham Shed (8 x 6ft, Brown) is designed for homeowners seeking a durable and stylish storage solution crafted in Britain. Its key benefit is the robust construction using 12mm shiplap tongue and groove timber and 34mm square framing, ensuring longevity and weather resistance. A potential caveat is that individual timber boards may not align perfectly due to the natural variations in wood and the modular panel design. This shed features modular side panels for flexible window placement, a solid OSB roof and floor, one opening window, and comes pre-treated with a base coat preservative.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the modular side panels?

The modular side panels allow you to choose the placement of the opening window, enabling you to best utilize the available light in your garden or suit your personal preference.

Does the shed come painted?

No, the shed comes pre-treated with a base coat preservative. You will need to apply your own final coat of paint or preservative after assembly.

What are the external dimensions?

The external dimensions are 8 x 6ft. Please refer to the metric measurements provided for precise sizing.

What materials are the roof and floor made from?

The roof and floor are made from solid sheet OSB (Oriented Strand Board).

Is assembly difficult?

The shed comes flat-packed with comprehensive assembly instructions and all necessary fixings. While two people are recommended for easier assembly, the modular panels are designed to be manageable.

What is the framing made of?

The shed features robust 34mm square framing for structural support.

Is the window fixed or opening?

The shed includes one opening window for ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Shed panels do not align perfectly.

This is a characteristic of the modular design and natural timber. Ensure the main frame is square, and the cladding is secured firmly. The aesthetic variation is minor and does not impact structural integrity.

Water ingress after assembly.

Check that the roof felt is installed correctly and securely, and that all joints are properly sealed. Ensure the base is level and drains effectively away from the shed.

Window is difficult to open or close.

Check for any obstructions or swelling in the wood. Ensure the hinges are lubricated and that the frame has not warped. Minor adjustments may be needed.

Base coat finish is uneven.

The base coat is for initial protection. Light sanding may be required before applying your final top coat for a smooth finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent value for money.
  • High-quality 12mm shiplap timber construction.
  • Modular panels allow for flexible window placement.
  • Comes with all necessary fixings and roof felt.
  • Pre-treated base coat ready for custom top coat.

Cons

  • Individual timber boards may not align perfectly due to natural wood variations.
  • Requires a final coat of paint for full weather protection and aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a level and firm base for the shed, such as concrete or paving slabs.
  2. Unpack all components and check against the included instructions.
  3. Assemble the shed following the step-by-step guide, paying attention to panel alignment. The modular nature means panels are designed for single-person handling and passage through standard doors.
  4. Attach the roof felt securely.
  5. Apply your chosen final coat of paint or preservative to the exterior for maximum durability.

Compatibility:

  • The shed is designed for outdoor use.
  • Ensure the chosen location has adequate drainage.

Care:

  • Periodically check the timber for any signs of wear or damage.
  • Reapply preservative or paint every 1-2 years, or as needed, to maintain weather resistance.
  • Keep the roof clear of debris to ensure proper water runoff.
