Timber
As timber is a natural product, it is prone to changes in appearance, including some movement,
warping and splitting, particularly in extreme weather conditions. There may be the occasional split,
knot or similar visual imperfections in the timber. Whilst every effort is made to hand pick timber
without visible knotholes or splits there may be occasions where timber is selected in good faith that
contains what appears to be a solid knot which over the course of time / during movement of the
product it may occur that these small knot holes are then dislodged from the timber leaving a small
knot or crack. Unfortunately, we cannot be held responsible for this maturing of the product and can
only offer our best advice as how to deal with this situation in the unlikely event that it should occur
which would be to apply some wood filler to the area affected or in extreme circumstances to
change the board over.
None of this should affect the structural integrity of the product.
Firm and level base
If you have ordered our Power Base, then please turn to page 16 for installation instructions.
All of our garden sheds require a firm and level base. When thinking about where the garden
building and base is going to be constructed:
•
Ensure that there will be access to all sides for maintenance work and annual treatment.
•
Remember not to place the base too close to any walls or fences, as there may be a slight
overhang on the roof of the garden building which may come into contact with the wall or
fence.
•
Ensure the base is level and is built on firm ground, to prevent distortion. Refer to
PowerSheds.com for base dimensions.
•
Consider when placing the base next to trees or large bushes as this could cause problems
from overhanging branches, especially if these are likely to grow and come into contact with
the building in the future and could cause the felt to rip.
The base is slightly smaller than the external measurement of the building, i.e. The cladding should
overhang the base, creating a run for water. It is recommended that the floor is at least 25mm above
the surrounding ground level to avoid flooding.
If you have not chosen to purchase our Power Base then other suitable bases would include a
concrete base (75mm of concrete on top of 75mm of hardcore) or a paving slab base (slabs laid on
top of 50mm of sharp sand).
