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

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.

IMPORTANT!

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

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).

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.
