How Do I Care For My Shed?

A little care and attention goes a long way. We have customers who report that their shed is in perfect condition after ten years.

The most important thing to watch for is that moisture isn't trapped against the shed so that it can dry naturally in the air. Causes of moisture?

• Regularly keeping wet cycling clothes (or bags of damp compost) in your shed may make it damp and cause mildew.
• Letting foliage grow against the shed will keep it damp and eventually cause damage.
• Moss sometimes grows between the gap between the lid and the lid trim. If this happens on your shed, clean it out with a knife so that the wet moss doesn't sit against the timber.

Once a year you might usefully oil locks, hinges and any other metal work. 

And once every 3-5 years its sensible to give it a new coat of paint.

And that's it. 20 minutes a year to oil and clean and then a fresh coat of paint after 3-5 years.
