Safety
R
Check planning permission before installing your
garden shed.
R
Make sure you have access to all sides of the shed
during construction.
R
Make sure you have a good foundation before starting
to assemble the garden shed.
R
Carefully follow the guide to correctly assemble your
garden shed.
R
Ensure that all parts are present before starting
assembly.
R
Ensure that the base is firm and level.
R
Your foundation must be flat. If the surface is not flat,
remove any obstructions.
R
Remove all parts from the box and sort them by
number. Ensure that you have all elements required to
build your garden shed.
R
Always wear work gloves, long sleeves and safety
goggles during assembly of the garden shed. Some
components contain sharp edges and may cause
damage.
R
Take care when using tools for assembly.
R
Familiarise yourself with how to operate all tools.
R
Keep children and animals away from the assembly
site.
R
When necessary to use a ladder, ensure ground
stability is adequate. Never rest your entire weight on
the roof or on any other part of the garden shed.
R
Do not attempt to assemble the garden shed in
strong windy conditions due to the risk of making site
conditions difficult and dangerous.
R
Wear safety eyewear when using power tools. Ensure
that your electrical tools are watertight to prevent any
risk of electrocution.
R
To maintain their original condition, ensure that nothing
is placed on top of shed components.
R
The garden shed must be built on a solid foundation.
We recommend a reinforced concrete foundation or
large concrete slabs as a suitable floor base. Ensure
there is enough room on the foundation for a 10 cm
perimeter. The warranty does not cover the choice and
construction of your foundation.
R
For a reinforced concrete foundation, prepare a base
layer of stones/pebbles. The foundation must have a
minimum thickness of 10 cm. Allow cement to dry for at
least 48 hours.
R
Your garden shed must be firmly anchored to your
foundation to protect it from strong winds.
R
Do not store pool chemicals in your garden shed.
R
Combustible and corrosive materials must be stored in
watertight containers.
R
The metal garden shed must be installed on a level
concrete foundation.
R
Ensure that the slab is level and that water can drain
off the site.
R
The brand is not liable for the choice and quality of the
foundation.
R
Set your drill’s torque limit to prevent damage to the
metal parts.
R
Check each of the dimensions below to ensure perfect
squaring of the foundation.
R
Remove the protective films prior to assembly.
R
IMPORTANT: Only use screws with plastic washers on
top of the pre-painted surface.
R
We recommend removing snow from the roof after
each snowfall. A thickness of over 10 cm of snow may
become hazardous!
R
To disassemble the garden shed, the customer must
follow the instructions in the manual in reverse order.
R
Do not walk on the roof! Risk of falling!
Watch the weather
R
Please be sure the day you select for installation is dry
and calm.
R
DO NOT attempt to assemble your shed in windy
weather because of risk of damage to panels, or
personal injury. Be careful of wet or muddy ground.
Site Selection
R
Avoid overhanging trees as much as possible as leaves
will make regular cleaning necessary and broken
branches are a potential hazard.
R
Small trees, bushes or fences nearby can be helpful,
acting as a wind break.
Site Preparation
R
The site must be prepared so that the base of the shed
is level all round and checking with a spirit level is
required.
R
It is highly recommend to use the foundation base as
shown on the packaging.
R
The shed is not designed to be built onto lawn directly.
Also the ground will get muddy during rainy days.
R
If a concrete pad is made, it is important that this slopes
towards the edges to prevent water ingress.
R
Time must be allowed for any concrete or cement to dry
before building the shed on top.
R
Bases can also be constructed from bricks, blocks, or
mounted on a concrete pad.
R
The bricks or blocks should be cemented onto firm
and level concrete footings and the greenhouse frame
drilled and screwed to the base.
