  • Why aren't the pre-drilled holes aligning?
    In some cases the pre-drilled holes may not line up on your shed panels. To rectify this, insert the screw at an angle and tighten, twisting the sheets slightly. This will re-align the holes and allow the panels to screw together as instructed. See our tips & tricks video.

  • How can I make my shed waterproof?
    Extreme weather conditions make it difficult to keep water from entering the shed through gaps, doorways and entries. The best way to prevent this from happening is to rebate your concrete slab and use rubber seals which can be purchased from your local hardware store. The use of silicon around the base of the shed and in the channel system may increase the chances of water being trapped inside your shed.
