Although the specialist in-house design and manufacturing teams at Dunster House ensure that all the sheds we sell
are built to last, performing regular maintenance will help prolong the life of your shed and protect your investment.
Here at Dunster House, we recommend that systematic checks are carried out on your wooden shed at least once
a year. Here is a list of the key areas to focus on when performing maintenance.
Base
The timber of a shed that sits on an uneven base will deteriorate, twist and eventually break. If your shed is showing
any of these signs, it is vitally important that you rebuild your shed on an adequate base, to prevent any further
damage.
If laid correctly, a flat, level, resilient base offers the necessary protection against damp and moisture found
in the ground.
Protecting your shed against damp and moisture
Damp and moisture are the two things that are going to do the most damage to your shed; so going the extra mile,
beyond just making sure that your wooden shed is treated, can really help to protect your investment.
Water repellent treatment
How you customize and decorate your product is up to you, however we would recommend that you use
an appropriate water repellent treatment. This really helps minimize the amount of moisture that the timber can
absorb, therefore minimizing the risk of any major movement.
(Please note: water repellent treatment is not the same as pressure treatment, which protects against rot
and insect infestation, and which we guarantee for 10 Years!)
Maintaining your shed's environment
Ensuring that your wooden shed is in the best possible position within your garden can go a long way to protecting
it against damp and moisture. Water which consistently drips from leaves and branches can cause serious damage,
as can a branch that comes into immediate contact with a felt roof. Therefore measures should be taken to regularly
cut back any overhanging trees which may be in close proximity to your shed.
Wooden shed drainage
Ideally, if possible, your wooden shed should be placed at the highest point of your garden as this will aid drainage
naturally. Guttering can also be fitted to redirect water away from your shed, representing an excellent investment
for prolonging the life of your wooden shed.
