Shire Forget - Me - Not Arbour User manual

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:
8.30am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday. Answer phone all other times.
Preparation of Base
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: 1250 x 665mm
Total height clearance: 2245mm
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

PLEASE READ PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY OF THE BUILDING
WE RECOMMEND THAT PROTECTIVE GLOVES
BE WORN THROUGHOUT
Wood is a natural product and is therefore prone
to changes in appearance, including some
warping, movement and splitting, particularly
during unusual climatic conditions (long hot or
wet spells of weather). As a natural occurrence
this is not covered by a guarantee.
PLEASE NOTE
BUILT AROUND OUR REPUTATION
©
Treat with a suitable decorative wood finish immediately. 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 wouldsuggest that all wall panels be treated in an upside-down position to allow the finish/treatment
to ingress into the tongue and groove jointing.
We would also remind you that you would rarely (if ever) be able to re-treat the underside of the floor
following assembly. We strongly recommend that the underside of the floor is treated an absolute
minimum of twice (not including pre-treatment).
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.
