Congratulations on assembling
your 4x2 Garden Chalet!
Note; Our Sheds are shipped as an unfinished
product. If exposed to the elements, the
Western Red Cedar lumber will weather to a
silvery-gray color. If you prefer to keep the
cedar lumber looking closer to the original color,
we suggest that you treat the wood with a good
oil base wood stain. You may also wish to paint
your new shed rather than stain it. In both
cases we recommend that you consult with a
paint and stain dealer in your area for their
recommendations.
