BEFORE YOU START.. Please read through this guide to prepare yourself before assembling your shed. We recommend that you check all the components and fixings. Your parts list can be found on your shed label.

Wood is an extremely durable material for construction but as a natural product when used outdoors it is susceptible to changes in the environment.
