ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you and congratulations on the purchase of your Shire garden building. We believe that this product will
give you many years of excellent service. This is a natural product manufactured to a high standard therefore if
you have any queries or experience any difficulties then please contact our customer service hotline on 01945 46
89 10 or 01945 46 89 11 or 01945 46 89 12. Normal office hours: 8.30 am to 5.00 pm Monday to Friday. Answer
phone all other times.
Your garden building should be located upon a suitable base that is both level and firm enough to take the weight
of the shed (and it’s contents) without subsiding. Existing concrete, tarmac and paving slabs can all form a suita-
ble base if both structurally sound and level.
We recommend that the base onto which your building will stand should be at least 75mm larger in each direction
than the total floor size of the building (Actual floor area of the building: 1848x690 (6’x 2’3”)) with a minimum
height clearance of 1390mm. The chosen position in your garden for the siting of the building should be excavat-
ed to a depth of 75mm to allow a base of sand, on to which paving slabs can be evenly laid - THEY MUST BE
LEVEL AND FIRM.
Treat with a suitable decorative wood finish immediately. We recommend that all timber pieces be treated again
prior to assembly and then again within 3 months of assembly. We further recommend that all pieces are treated
again at least annually or as frequently as the instructions on the product used recommends.
We would suggest that all wall panels be treated (prior to being assembled) in an upside-down position to allow
the finish/treatment to ingress into the tongue and groove jointing.
Do not apply decorative wood finish / treatments to wet or damp timber. Please observe the instructions of the
wood finish / treatment manufacturer.
Garden buildings are not waterproof, therefore on assembling the building we recommend using a sili-
con based sealant between wall panels.
