The Nature of Timber
The timber provided for this product is a soft wood which has been kiln dried and is pressure treated for protection against rot and insect
infestation.
Timber is a natural product and inherent properties can include knots, knot holes, imperfections, cracks and warping. Due to the inherent
properties of timber we make no guarantees that the timber you receive for your product will be free from these natural properties. We will
not replace any components for any of the following reasons:
•Timber that contains knots where they do not influence the structural stability of the product
•Cosmetics appearances - colour variations
•Timber that has shakes, cracks, gaps or sap which do not influence the structural strength of the product
•Timber that has been covered or buried underground
•Twisted timber that can be installed
•Queries arising from a neglectful manner during assembly or as a result of incorrect assembly
•Queries due to modifications by the owner causing the timber to deform
Any valid queries will be satisfied by the exchange or replacement of the defective parts only on a supply only basis.
Colour Transfer
This product has been pressure treated with wood preservative and a brown colour additive. Consideration should be given to the propensity
of the material to stain light colour adjacent surfaces, such as paving flags, render or coated timber surfaces. We recommend contact between
the timber and these surfaces is limited, and careful consideration to storing the product prior to assembly should be taken in order to prevent
such discolouration.
Assembly Preparation
This product has been designed for self-assembly and recommend that assembly is carried out by two DIY competent people. It is important
that the assembly instructions are followed carefully and we recommend that the assembly instructions are read through in their entirety prior
to assembly to allow you to familiarise yourself first.
We recommend ensuring that the product is assembled in an appropriate location and on an appropriate base for
the product. It is imperative that the product is installed square, level and plumb.
To assemble your product we recommend that you have the following:
•Stepladder
•Drill
•3mm and 6mm drill bit
•Spirit level
•Tape measure
•Screwdriver
•Gloves - if you wish for extra protection when handling pressure treated timber
•Clear exterior use sealant and caulking gun
•Tack hammer or hammer with a contact head of less than 20mm
All screw holes need to be pre-drilled using a 3mm drill bit (not provided) to avoid timber splitting.
Pressure treated products do not need to be treated immediately or have a timber preservative applied.
Pressure treatment does not mean that the timbers are waterproof, so you may wish to apply a water repellent.

Although the specialist in-house design and manufacturing teams at Dunster House ensure that all the sheds we sell
are built to last, performing regular maintenance will help prolong the life of your shed and protect your investment.
Here at Dunster House, we recommend that systematic checks are carried out on your wooden shed at least once
a year. Here is a list of the key areas to focus on when performing maintenance.
Base
The timber of a shed that sits on an uneven base will deteriorate, twist and eventually break. If your shed is showing
any of these signs, it is vitally important that you rebuild your shed on an adequate base, to prevent any further
damage.
If laid correctly, a flat, level, resilient base offers the necessary protection against damp and moisture found
in the ground.
Inspecting the roof of your garden shed
Over time, the felt on your shed roof will inevitably suffer damage. You should be looking to check for damage,
at least, annually. If you do find any wear and tear, act on it as soon as possible, as leaving it will cause more damage
to the shed itself and to the contents inside.
Should you discover a rip or tear, the best course of action is to replace it immediately. At Dunster House, we sell
high-grade mineral felt. More information on replacing the shed's roof material can be found here:
http://dunsterhouse/product-maintenance-guide-wooden-sheds
Protecting your shed against damp and moisture
Damp and moisture are the two things that are going to do the most damage to your shed; so going the extra mile,
beyond just making sure that your wooden shed is treated, can really help to protect your investment.
Water repellent treatment
How you customise and decorate your product is up to you, however we would recommend that you use
an appropriate water repellent treatment. This really helps minimise the amount of moisture that the timber can
absorb, therefore minimising the risk of any major movement.
(Please note: water repellent treatment is not the same as pressure treatment, which protects against rot
and insect infestation, and which we guarantee for 10 Years!)
Maintaining your shed's environment
Ensuring that your wooden shed is in the best possible position within your garden can go a long way to protecting
it against damp and moisture. Water which consistently drips from leaves and branches can cause serious damage,
as can a branch that comes into immediate contact with a felt roof. Therefore measures should be taken to regularly
cut back any overhanging trees which may be in close proximity to your shed.
Wooden shed drainage
Ideally, if possible, your wooden shed should be placed at the highest point of your garden as this will aid drainage
naturally. Guttering can also be fitted to redirect water away from your shed, representing an excellent investment
for prolonging the life of your wooden shed.
Sealing your shed windows
Applying silicone where the glass meets the timber will help to seal the window and increase its resistance to water.

FLOOR
a) Ensuring the base is level, space bearers evenly.
The bearer layout consists of double bearers on the ends. Depending on the size you purchased, there will be more
double bearers needed where the floor board(s) will eventually join. Use 60mm screws to secure them as shown in
the image (1.1).

PANELS
Pre-drill parts before fixing with screws
a)Start by establishing the layout of your shed.
b)Fix panels onto the bearers, use 60 mm screws. Start with the wall
parallel to the bearers.
c) Fix a secondary panel to make a corner, use 60mm screws fixing
through the side frame. Ensure the the screws are evenly spaced and
vertically aligned to the bearers
d) Place the MFP panel.
Principle of MFP (floor boards) installation
Secure the MFP to the bearers with 35mm screws all equally spaced.
There should be a 70mm space between the ends of the bearer and
the screw. Use same amount of screws per each bearer.
IMPORTANT: Ensure a double bearer is fixed where the MFP boards
join.
e) Fix the wall panel back and the side the first (Perpendicular to
bearers).
NOTE: Continue to check the shed is square by measuring diagonals.

FELT
a) Cover the entire roof with plastic membrane and staple underneath the roof board.
b) Place the Felt layer 1 on the rear side onto the roof boards and ensure there is an
80mm overhang on the sides and a 140mm overhang on the rear.
Secure onto the eaves with 10mm clout nails approximately 70mm apart. Do this all
around the first layer of felt as shown below.
c) Position the Felt layer 2 so it overlaps the felt layer 1 by approximately 200mm.
Secure the felt layer 2 with 10mm clout nails 20mm from the edge of the felt and
70mm spacing between the clout nails.
