A shed is no doubt a key component within your garden, and there are so many purposes that the notorious \u201cman cave\u201d can have, so it\u2019s important to ensure that the life of your shed is prolonged to gain as much usage as possible. Although not lengthy, the tasks that need to be undertaken in order to keep your shed in tip top condition should be scheduled in regularly. UK retailer of quality concrete garages, sheds, workshops and garden rooms, Lidget Compton list their top tips for how to maintain your garden shed.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Repair any holes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When looking over your shed, make sure you keep an eye out for any holes. Some holes may not be obviously large, which could lead you to into a false sense of security, yet it is important to pay even the smallest of holes attention. It\u2019s always beneficial to fill each hole in, no matter how minor. As even the tiniest ones can cause a range of more serious issues if not treated promptly and effectively. However, repairing holes may not be an issue, if you own a shed made from concrete. Due to the hardwearing structure and material, concrete sheds from Lidget Compton<\/a> are extremely durable, resulting in less treatment needing to be done over time.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Check the roof<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Having a thorough check of the roof is something that should be done regularly. Always try and keep the roof as clear as possible, so remove any leaves or branches that have landed on it to prevent damage. It\u2019s also sensible to check the pins and felt to ensure they are still firmly in place, as putting on a new roof can become difficult and pricey if needed to be done.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Check for rust or mould<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The earlier that any rust or mould is spotted the better, so it can be treated right away. Leaving rust or mould to get worse can cause major long-term problems and could even result in you being required to purchase a brand new one, which could be a costly solution.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Treat the wood<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If you have a wooden shed, this is a particularly important step to do. Ensure you only treat your shed with the correct and most appropriate treatment, which has been made specifically to suit the shed you own, as each oil and water preserves work differently. It\u2019s also worth noting that any prior treatment could affect the end results.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Repaint<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Though perhaps not an essential, a bit of TLC to the aesthetics of the shed will most definitely benefit your attitude towards the outdoor building and the overall look to the garden. If a lick of paint is needed, then it is worthwhile to keep it topped up. Make sure you use the appropriate paint, so the finished results have maximum aid and longer life.<\/p>\n
