Normal office hours: 8.30 am to 5.00 pm Monday to Friday.
Preparation of base
We recommendthat the base onto which your building will stand should beat least
75mm larger in each direction than the total floor size of the building.
Actual floor area of the building: 868x560 (2’10x 1’10)
Total height clearance: 1914mm
The chosen position in your garden for the siting of the building should be
excavated 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.
Treatment/care of your Garden Building
Treat with a suitable decorative wood finishimmediately. We recommend that all
timber pieces be treated again prior to assembly and 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 in an upside-down position to
allow the finish/treatment to ingress into the tongue and groove jointing.
Garden buildings are not waterproof, therefore on assembling building we
recommend using a silicon based sealant between wall panels and between
wall panels and floor.
