Assembling Your Wooden Garden Shed

If you’re ready to start assembling your wooden garden shed, here’s a handy guide to take you through each step. Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or a beginner, these clear and easy-to-understand instructions will help make sure you experience a successful build.

Before you Begin

Inspect the kit.

Double-check the flat pack to make sure all parts are included and undamaged. A quick inspection now can save a lot of time and effort later, so take the time to make sure no surprises happen during assembly.
Refer to the detailed parts list for descriptions, dimensions, and quantities. Markings on the parts match those in the manual for easy identification.
If any parts are missing or defective, contact us for replacements.
If you’re not satisfied with the product, review our return policy.

Prepare your workspace

Once you’ve checked all the parts in your kit, place them all on a clean, dry surface to prevent staining, as untreated wood is very susceptible to stains.

Review the instructions

Familiarise yourself with the manual before starting; it provides step-by-step guidance with illustrations. We have written the instructions in easy-to-understand terms to avoid any misunderstandings that may lead to you or the product.
If you need professional help, don’t hesitate to seek it.
Contact our customer service team if you have any questions during assembly.
Follow the instructions carefully and in order. Skipping steps or using alternative methods can compromise the structure’s integrity.
Note: We are not liable for any damage or injuries if you fail to follow the instructions.

Tools You'll Need

Before you roll up your sleeves and start assembling your wooden garden house, first make sure you have all the necessary tools available. This will help make sure you have a smooth and efficient building process.
- Work gloves
- Multipurpose knife
- Tape measure
- Spirit level

Foundation

A solid foundation is crucial. Refer to our foundation guide for detailed instructions.
For smaller structures like sheds or gazebos, concrete tiles or thermal blocks can provide a lightweight yet sturdy base.
For larger buildings, consider solid slabs for greater stability and durability.

Follow the instructions

Follow the instructions exactly to achieve the best result.
Don’t skip steps or try alternative methods.
Prioritise safety by following all safety protocols.

Start with the structure, followed by the roof, and then install the windows and doors.

Roof Installation

Follow the instructions

Assemble the roof beams according to the instructions. The roof is one of the most important parts of your garden house and it’s essential to make sure it is assembled correctly.
A watertight roof is essential for the building’s longevity.

Consider a roof covering:

While some products come without a roof covering, we strongly recommend adding one for enhanced protection.
Choose a durable material that complements the building’s aesthetics.
Note: Wooden boards alone are not sufficient for adequate roof protection.

Window and Door Installation

Leave space for expansion:
- Do not screw doors and windows directly into the construction frames, as wooden frames are designed to expand and contract, so leave room for movement. If you screw doors and windows directly into the frame, there is no room for the wood to expand, which may cause damage.
- Attach doors and windows to the boards covering the frame for secure installation.
- Refer to the instructions for detailed guidance.
- Take your time when installing our products. Don’t screw the doors and windows into the construction frames as you’d usually do; instead, make sure you leave some space for natural movement.

Wood Treatment

Protect your investment:

Treat all untreated wood with paint or a high-quality preservative inside and outside within a week of installation and every year after that.
This is essential for maintaining the product’s appearance and ensures your anti-rot warranty remains valid.
Also treat door and window frames with preservative immediately after unpacking.
Follow the included maintenance instructions for heat-treated wood or painted products.
