tOP tIPS
- Your base must be level and firm
- Your building should be raised so it is not in contact with any water retaining ground surfaces (for example grass)
- This can be achieved using a timber, concrete or slab base or a damp proof membrane
- When using a concrete or slab base use damp proofing strips under the bearers
- The building should be completely treated and sealed immediately prior to or after assembly
- Ensure every piece of timber and surface, especially that is hidden upon assembly is treated with a top quality wood preservative at least twice
- Garden buildings are not waterproof, therefore we recommend you seal between all the panels with a silicone based sealant
- Regularly check your roofing felt for weather damage and leaks
- Re-apply the timber treatment annually
- The doors and windows may require periodical adjustment
- Ensure your building is well ventilated especially during hot weather
- During extremely hot weather humidify your building to prevent the timber from drying out
- Wood is a natural product and therefore the following can be expected:
- Colour changes
- Warping
- Splitting
- And finally, love your shed! :)
