Prevent Rot from the Ground Up
Elevate your Shed from ground level with a Foundation Kit. This will prevent the structure sitting at moisture level and will allow air-flow which helps the wood flooring to breath and also dry out when it does get wet. A Cedar Shed with a soggy base will rot from the ground up. Protect yours by sitting it on top of cement patio slabs or pier blocks with a pressure treated sleeper system running perpendicular to the joists.
foundation set-ups
- For Installation over a hard surface (slab)
- 3-4pcs 4×4 Treated Posts, running perpendicular to floor joists (amount and length required depends on shed size)
- For Installation over a soft surface (grass/dirt)
- See below regarding clearing and preparing area for drainage
- 9-20pcs Cement Pier Blocks or Patio Slabs (amount required depends on shed size for example an 8×6 Shed requires 9pcs whereas a 12×16 requires 20pcs)
- 3-4pcs 4×4 Treated Posts, running perpendicular to floor joists (amount and length required depends on shed size)
Keep Weeds and Critters at bay
Dark damp places are a great breeding ground for worms, bugs and creepy crawlies. In turn – critters like Possums, Racoons and other small rodents or mammals, love to feast on these juicy treats. If you’re installing over a turfed area – clear the grass and sod away prior to installation and then cover with landscape cloth under a layer of crushed rock or gravel. This will prevent weed growth and allow for better drainage under the floor of the shed which will help maximize the lifespan.
Always Read the Instructions
Detailed plans and instructions are supplied with every Cedar Shed Kit purchase, along with a checklist of pre-cut materials and components for each kit. Upon delivery, we recommend unpackaging the kit and checking your materials off against this list to ensure that you have all of the necessary components to build your new Cedar Shed. Shortages or missing components must be reported within 48 hours of delivery. When you are ready to start assembly, be sure to use the correct pieces for each aspect of the build. All kits are supplied with pre-cut pieces, so there are very few cuts that need to be made to the lumber supplied in the kit and where cutting is required it is noted on the plans. Please note that if you are purchasing a Porch Kit Extension for your Cedar Shed, you must frame this onto the main structure – a Porch Kit cannot be installed after the main structure is assembled and sided.
Protect your shed for years to come
Protect your Cedar Shed by applying an Exterior Wood Stain. In doing so you’ll not only achieve a more finished look, but you’ll also help to protect the wood from greying and help prevent rot. The Cedar Shed in the picture above is finished with Cabot Australian Timber Oil ‘Mahogany Flame’ with Ebony Stain on the Trim. We also supply a range of exterior wood finishes from industry leading brands such as Broda, Sikkens and Olympic coatings
