in order to avoid any deformation.
Assemble the shed as soon as possible after it arrives (the
after sales service is available for a maximum of 10 days
after the date of purchase).
Safety advice
The wooden parts may cause splinters. Handle the wood
carefully, using protective gloves.
Check there are no protruding nails, screws or staples in
the assembled pieces.
Always follow the instructions carefully, keeping to the or-
der in which they are to be assembled.
Assembly
The shed must be built in an area sheltered from strong
winds.
Do not expose the wooden parts or the roof covering to
direct sunlight during assembly.
Start by checking that all parts have been included, us-
ing the inventory provided to identify them by shape and
length.

Advice
Pine wood is a living material that never stops moving and
may be slightly deformed (wood slightly bowed or warped)
or have imperfections such as splits, knots and resin pock-
ets.
This is normal and does not affect the lifespan of your
shed. Wood putty (not supplied) may be an easy solution.
For interlocking sheds, note that all planks have a good
face which should face towards the outside of the shed
(the non-visible face may have some planning defects,
bark, splits etc.).
Synthetic panes should not be nailed as there is a risk they

Maintenance
It is important to treat the shed using a product for protect-
ing exterior wood surfaces, containing fungicides, insecti-
cides and UV protection. Apply a minimum of 2 coats to the
outside and 1 to the inside. Repeat regularly, as required.
After Sales Service
Any missing parts or defects must be declared using the
After Sales Service form (available in shops) within 10 days
following purchase of the shed, supported by an invoice or
till receipt.
