Site Preparation - This is the customer's responsibility. A firm level surface is required. Note: we do not recommend an oversize base. Buildings over 4.200 in length (or 10sqmtrs) may require a complaint foundation. Minimum requirement is a Bearer foundation (for Storage Use only) using 100 x 100 rough sawn H4 treated bearers leveled using metal. Second Option is a Raised Foundation (allows for airflow) suited where Human Habitation is more regular eg. Home Office -Studio, Kids Games Room Etc. All Garden Buildings are designed for Typical Sheltered Garden Locations.

Timber - The buildings are manufactured from Natural Swedish Scandinavian Redwood .This timber is very slow growing and stable. Because it is slow growing, growth rings are much closer which make it considerably stronger than timber such as Pinus Radiata. Refer to Routine maintenance.

Ground Anchoring - Ground anchoring to prevent wind damage is the responsibility of the customer. Sheltered Smaller Sheds can be adequately located with the four corner piles or pegs. Larger Sheds, Workshops and Garden Rooms required anchoring (refer to bearer plan supplied with all kitsets. All Foundations are customer care. (Please ask for unsure)

Routine Maintenance - Buildings are made of a Natural Timber and require Brush apply wood preservative to the exterior on assembly or within 3 months, thereafter annually or periodically as required to maintain a preservative coating.

Use - These Buildings are designed as simple Portable Kitset Ancillary Outbuildings suitable for Typical Sheltered Garden/Residential/Lifestlye locations as eg. Garden Room/Shed/Hobby Room/Storage/Studio/Home Office. Buildings must be well anchored to the ground with extra floor straps as per the bearer plan or Raised pile foundation Plan. Specific design, permits or alterations from standard is customer care and would need to comply with the Building code. These buildings are not designed for permanent habitation.

Foundation: Foundations are customer care. Refer to the Bearer plan for minimum requirements as a storage shed. Where buildings are used for human habitation eg. Office/Studio/Hobby Room, on a more regular basis rather than for storage we recommend the Raised Pile Foundation Plan which allows for air flow underneath.
