Safety
R
Take care when handling tools used for building the
shed.
R
Keep children and animals away from the assembly
site.
R
Some parts of the shed have sharp edges and can
cause damage. Be sure to wear personal protective
equipment: work gloves, long sleeves and goggles.
R
Wear safety goggles for eye protection when using
machine tools. Make sure power tools are well sealed
to avoid any risk of electric shock.
R
When using a ladder, make sure it is stable on the
ground. Never put all your weight on the roof or any
other part of the shed.
R
Do not try to assemble the shed in high winds, as the
work site may become hazardous.
R
Be careful when working on the roof, and use
appropriate safety equipment.
R
Make sure you do not put anything onto shed parts so
they maintain their original condition.
R
Fuels and corrosive agents must be stored in sealed
containers.
R
Protect the shed from strong winds by fixing it properly
to the foundation.
Foundations
R
Check local planning regulations before installing your
shed.
R
Choose a suitable location and allow enough working
space around the shed.
R
Make sure you have a good base foundation before
beginning shed assembly.
R
The shed must be built on a solid, flat foundation. For a
suitable base, we recommend that you use reinforced
concrete or large concrete slabs.
R
For a reinforced concrete foundation, prepare an initial
layer of stones/pebbles. The foundation must be at
least 10 cm thick. Leave your cement to dry for at least
48 hours.
R
Make sure that the foundation is levelled and allows
water drainage to avoid freezing.
R
If the ground is at risk of freezing, the foundations must
be below the frost line; otherwise, you need to install an
insulation slab to stop frost from affecting the structure.
R
Adjust your screwdriver torque limit so you do not
damage the wood.
R
Check each shed dimension to make sure it sits
perfectly on the foundation.
R
In order to avoid moisture rising through the walls,
please always isolate the first plank from the slab using
a level band (not supplied with garden shelters).
R
Carefully laid foundations are crucial to successful
construction. Foundations must be perfectly level. The
foundations and structure must remain horizontal. Even
after construction, the wooden structure must be able to
expand and contract naturally.
R
WARNING: If the shed is not constructed in one go, we
advise you to store it inside or in a protected location. If
this is the case, do not unpack the product. It must not
be laid directly on the ground to prevent any contact
with moisture. It is important that the storage location is
flat, or your wooden baulks may buckle.
IMPORTANT, RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE:
READ CAREFULLY.
