Assembly of Abri Apex
©
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 465295
.
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: 1980 x 2050mm
Total height clearance: 2140mm
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 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 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.
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).
