The Mercia Overlap Apex Shed excels as a dedicated outdoor storage unit, particularly for gardeners and homeowners needing a secure space for various tools and equipment. Its apex roof allows for efficient storage of long-handled items like shovels, rakes, strimmers, and even smaller ladders, keeping them upright and organized. The windowless design is a significant benefit for security-conscious users, ensuring that valuable garden machinery, power tools, or even bicycles are kept out of sight. The overlap cladding is designed to channel rainwater away, helping to keep the interior dry and protecting your stored items from weather damage. The robust internal framing provides a stable structure, capable of withstanding typical outdoor conditions when properly installed and maintained. For example, a user can confidently store their lawnmower, garden furniture cushions, and a full set of gardening tools, knowing they are protected from both the elements and prying eyes. The double doors make it easy to maneuver larger items, such as a wheelbarrow or a fully assembled BBQ, in and out of the shed without obstruction.
Foundation: Choose a flat, level, and firm base (e.g., concrete slab, paving slabs, or a timber base kit) to ensure stability and proper drainage. Elevating the shed slightly can further protect the base from ground moisture.
Assembly: Follow the provided manufacturer's instructions meticulously. All necessary fixtures, fittings, and roofing felt are included. It's recommended to have at least two people for assembly, especially when erecting walls and attaching the roof.
Weatherproofing: Ensure all joins are sealed correctly. Apply the included roofing felt as instructed to create a waterproof barrier for the roof.
This shed is designed for general outdoor storage of garden tools, equipment, outdoor furniture, and other items requiring protection from weather and enhanced security. Its dimensions (4 x 6ft) make it suitable for smaller to medium-sized gardens.
Annual Re-treatment: To maintain the 10-year anti-rot guarantee and prolong the life of the timber, the shed must be re-treated annually with a suitable timber preservative.
Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior with a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt, debris, and moss build-up, which can trap moisture.
Inspection: Regularly check the roofing felt for tears or damage and repair as needed. Inspect all screws and fittings for tightness and tighten if necessary. Ensure the base remains free of standing water.
