- Once the assembly is completed, we recommend that you treat the garden shed with selected protective treatments
or paint it. Untreated wood will turn gray / black if left as it is for a while, or even blue, and traces of moisture may
appear. By regularly applying a new finishing layer the life of your shed shall be lengthened. This should be repeated
every 3 years.
- We strongly recommend that you also treat doors and windows with a colorless wood impregnating agent, indoors
and outdoors! Otherwise the doors and windows could bend.
- To paint, use high quality tools and paint. Please follow the manufacturer's operating and safety instructions and the
application manual. Never paint a surface in very sunny or rainy weather. Consult a specialist for paints suitable for
untreated softwood and please follow their instructions.
The lifespan of your garden shed, as with many natural products, is subject to the frequency of the protective
treatment.
FOUNDATION:
Before assembling the shelter, make sure that the foundations are flat, level and fixed to the ground. You can pour a
concrete screed or use joists for example (not shown).
Sorting of parts:
Each room corresponds to a whole: front wall, rear wall, left side wall, right side wall, roof, door. Put the pieces a few
meters around the foundation to keep enough working space. Check that the number of parts corresponds to that
indicated on the list before assembly.
WOOD TREATMENT AFTER ASSEMBLY
For the maintenance of the shelter, apply a coat of stain every year to the outside of the shelter as well as on the floor.
It is advisable to apply a stain 2 shades superior to the shade of the essence of wood in order to limit the speed of
discoloration of the wood and the local appearance of traces of graying. The garden shed that you have just purchased
is a durable wooden product. If properly maintained, this product will remain in good condition for a long time and will
give you satisfaction for many years. Please note the following:
- Keep the packaging until the end of assembly in a dry place, but not in direct contact with the ground and protected
from atmospheric conditions (humidity, sun, etc.). Do not store the packaging in a heated room!
- The materials used are natural products and their quality may change depending on climatic conditions, despite the
fact that the materials have been dried before treatment. When choosing the place to mount your garden shed, make
sure that the shed will not be subjected to extreme weather conditions (areas of strong wind or heavy snowfall);
otherwise you should fix the shelter to the ground (with anchor pieces for example).
WARNING !
Snow: The maximum load on the roof must not exceed 30kg / m2
The shelter should be mounted on a flat, level surface.
Throughout the assembly, remember to pre-drill before screwing!
Handle the bituminous felt with care and preferably with gloves and protective glasses so as not to tear it and protect
your eyes.
