ABSCO SHEDS - STORAGE GUIDELINES
ABSCO SHEDS include garden sheds, garden beds, storage units, aviaries,
garages, awnings and carports.
ABSCO SHEDS are designed to be weatherproof for normal weather
conditions. In the event of extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain,
combined with high wind gusts, the ridge capping, sheeting joins, screw
fixings etc., may exhibit minor deformations which may allow some water
entry. These areas should be checked regularly to ensure that maximum
strength and protection is maintained.
Other weather conditions such as extreme heat and extreme cold, moist or
dry air can influence the effects of concrete floor moisture and/or
condensation on the underside of the roof sheets.
ABSCO SHEDS and storage units are primarily used for storage of garden
equipment such as lawnmowers, wheelbarrows, garden tools etc. Storage
items that might be adversely affected by any of the above conditions may
require additional protection such as being sealed or covered by plastic
sheets and/or stacked above the concrete floor on timber slats.
Waterproof sealants may be used to offer further protection where required
around joins and screw fixings, as can rubber door seals and other products
which are available from most hardware outlets.
Placement of waterproof sealants (silicone) between the base of the shed
and concrete slab is not recommended, as this process can have a reverse
effect, preventing excess water from escaping, resulting with water
accumulating and being trapped inside the shed.
Absco accepts no responsibility for water entry, floor moisture,
condensation or the condition of the Contents inside your Absco steel
building arising from any of the pre-mentioned weather conditions.
