Shed Installation

Wooden shed installation is a popular choice for homeowners looking to add extra storage space to their property.

Here’s a breakdown of the process:

Preparation

  • Site Selection: Choose a level spot in your garden that is easily accessible and away from trees and power lines.
  • Base Preparation: Prepare the base for your shed. Options include:
  • Concrete slab: Provides the most stable and durable base but is the most expensive option
  • Wooden base: A cheaper option that is suitable for smaller sheds on level ground.
  • Paving slabs: A good compromise between cost and stability.

Assembly

  • Follow the Instructions: Carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific shed kit.
  • Start with the Floor: Begin by assembling the floor frame and attaching it to the base.
  • Add the Walls: Attach the wall panels to the floor frame, ensuring they are level and plumb.
  • Add the Roof: Assemble the roof trusses and attach them to the top of the walls.
  • Add the Roof Covering: Add the roofing material, such as felt or shingles, to the roof trusses.
  • Add the Doors and Windows: Install the doors and windows according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Finishing Touches

  • Treat the Wood: Apply a wood preservative or paint to protect the wood from the elements.
  • Add Accessories: Add shelves, hooks, and other accessories to organize your storage space.
  • Check Local Regulations: Check with your local council to ensure that you don't need planning permission for your shed.
  • Safety First: Always follow safety guidelines when working with tools and power equipment.
