Important information
When positioning the shed, it is recommended that adequate provision is made to ensure ground contact is avoided and
air is able to circulate underneath the building.
Placing the building on a concrete pad or slab base is acceptable provided that the building is not allowed to sit in pooled
water during wet conditions. If the building is to sit on soil or grass it MUST be erected on pressure treated wooden
50mm x 50mm or similar bearers (These are not supplied in the kit).
Rowlinson Garden Products recommend using pressure treated bearers with all buildings on any type of base.
Timber Information.
As timber is a natural material, there are certain weather conditions that may affect the materials properties. In times of
excessive dry spells the material may lose some of its internal moisture causing a certain degree of shrinkage on a panel
and in periods of excessive rain there will be a certain amount of swelling throughout the wooden panels. This process
can not be avoided. If you have problems with certain boards shrinking in dry spells try to decrease the amount of direct
sunlight on the building or the amount of air passing over the building. During hot spells spray water directly onto the
panels with the aid of a garden hose. No. Fixing Kit Qty.
