Detailed Specification

 Please note: all imperial measurements are approximate and Mercia garden buildings are made from metric measurements.

Description

Those who want to transform an unused spot within their garden into a place to securely store items they would rather not keep in the house, such as gardening equipment or bicycles, will want to consider the 10 x 6 (3.14m x 1.88m) Mercia Overlap Reverse Apex Shed. If you have the space for this 10 x 6 garden building, the robust and reliable shed offers a spacious interior for keeping many items out of the damaging effects of weather. The understated look of this garden shed by Mercia betrays some of its best features, such as a high-quality 7mm timber cladding and robust internal framing. Read on to learn more about the features that make this shed, available to order through elbec, excellent value for your money.

Features

A single, fixed window is a simple yet effective solution to providing light to the interior of your Mercia overlap shed. The material featured in its glazing is a clear but strong styrene that is virtually impossible to shatter like glass, making it a safer alternative in gardens where stray balls or frisbees are a common feature.

Storing more valuable items like lawnmowers or barbecues is one of the most convenient parts of owning a garden shed, which is why this model comes with a pad bolt included to secure the ledged single door. The bolt is made from galvanised steel and is simple to secure by adding your own padlock. Please note that a padlock is not provided.

The reverse apex roof of this shed offers a visually pleasing alternative to the classic apex roof, and encourages the run-off of rainfall due to its angled shape. Mineral roofing felt covers this roof and gives the garden building that classic garden shed look, as well as providing an extra barrier of protection against the elements. Under this felt, a robust solid sheet board roof keeps water at bay, and an identical board features as the floor of the shed thanks to its rugged durability and overall strength.

Additional Information

Your Mercia shed will arrive flat-packed with every part and fixture needed to assemble at home. A detailed instruction manual is included and will guide those with less DIY experience to their goal of a complete garden building. Of course, the degree of your prior experience with similar projects will dictate the length of time it takes to finish the shed, but most customers take one or two days to do so. Enlisting the help of an extra pair of hands is strongly advised.

At elbec, we recommend applying high-quality wood preservatives such as those produced by Protek to garden buildings that use dip-treated timber, such as the 10 x 6 (3.14m x 1.88m) Mercia Overlap Reverse Apex Shed. Although the pre-existing treatment will offer the necessary level of protection needed to keep your parts safe from the elements during transit and assembly, adding Protek wood preservative will ensure you can get the most out of your timber in the coming years. Closely follow the care instructions for the shed provided by Mercia to make sure your anti-rot guarantee is valid for the full 10 years of coverage.

Delivery Leadtimes

The estimated delivery lead time for this product is identified on the product page above. Lead times are in working days (Monday - Friday) excludes Bank Holidays. These estimated lead times are provided by the manufacturer.  Some remote areas will take a little longer.

Upon Delivery

Your order is delivered either kerbside or driveway and will be delivered on a 17 ton lorry (the size of a Refuse Cart). Unfortunately due to health and safety and insurance liabilities the driver will not be able to take your goods around to the back of your property but may upon request place the product at the side of the house if there are no access or restriction issues. We would not risk damaging your property whilst delivering a product to an un-safe location. Unfortunately, we will not be able to go through your property.

We would recommend against arranging for a third party to install the building before it's been delivered and checked that all parts are present, as we cannot be held liable for any third-party costs.

Installation Option

The leadtime for our installation option is currently around 4-6 weeks from the date of order.  With the installation option, the vast majority of orders are delivered and installed on the same day.  You will be notified by Mercia's installation team if your delivery and installation are on different days.

Within 3-5 working days of placing your order, you will be sent an installation questionnaire to complete and subsequently contacted with an installation date.
