FAQs

What kind of base should I use for the shed?

A firm, level base is essential. Options include a concrete slab, paving slabs, or a dedicated shed base kit. The pressure-treated frame provides some protection but should not be placed directly on uneven or damp ground.

Does the shed come painted?

No, the shed is dip-treated with a base coat preservative. It is ready for you to apply your preferred exterior paint, stain, or wood preservative for full weather protection.

Can the door be fitted to open from the other side?

Yes, the single door is reversible and can be hung on either the left or right side during assembly by choosing the appropriate hinge placement.

What is the OSB roof made of?

OSB stands for Oriented Strand Board. It is an engineered wood panel made from cross-aligned layers of wood strands compressed and bonded with adhesives. It provides a strong and rigid roof structure.

How often should I reapply the wood treatment?

It is recommended to reapply a quality exterior wood treatment every 1-2 years, depending on your local climate and the exposure of the shed to the elements, to maintain its condition.

What are the dimensions of the shed?

This is the 6x4ft model. Please refer to the product listing for exact external and internal dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Shed door is difficult to open or close

Check that the shed is level and square. Ensure hinges are correctly aligned and not obstructed. Minor adjustments to the door or frame may be needed.

Water ingress through the roof

Ensure the mineral felt is fully and securely attached to the OSB roof panels with no gaps or tears. Check that the felt overlaps correctly at the ridge and edges.

Panels do not align during assembly

Loosen fixings slightly on adjacent panels to allow for adjustment, then re-tighten once aligned. Ensure the base is perfectly level.

Wood appears damp or mouldy

This may indicate insufficient ventilation or a lack of protective topcoat. Ensure airflow around the shed and apply a suitable exterior wood treatment immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assemble the shed on a firm, level base. Ensure all panels are aligned correctly before fixing. Follow the provided clear assembly instructions step-by-step. The roof felt should be securely attached to the OSB roof panels. The door can be hung on either side during assembly by choosing the appropriate hinge placement.

Compatibility: This shed is designed as a standalone garden storage unit. Ensure the chosen location has adequate space for the shed and access around it. It is compatible with most standard garden paints and wood preservatives for top coating.

Care: After assembly, apply at least two coats of a suitable exterior grade wood preservative, paint, or stain to all exterior surfaces, paying particular attention to edges and end grains. Reapply this protection every 1-2 years, depending on your climate, to maintain weather resistance. Regularly check for any signs of wear or damage and address them promptly. Keep the area around the base clear of debris to ensure good airflow.
