The delivery was on time, but the bulky and delivered on disposable pallets parts had to be individually unloaded and transported to three corners of the rear gate. The packaging of the plexiglass roof was damaged and chipped the roof. I will not blame the supplier, but rather the ruthless handling of the goods by the forwarder. A few photos sent to the supplier, and the replacement was on the way. The was also better packaged and arrived intact.
The pressure treated wood was unpacking relatively moist to wet, which already resulted despite the impregnation on the edges of mold growth. Screw holes were not drilled, but I already knew before ordering because the assembly instructions on the website of the supplier is available. Screws were sufficiently available, but do areas, it is advisable to once again have a set stronger Schrauen available as a substitute.
The instruction was clear that the shed can indeed screw together of two people from the individual parts to devices, but are required for the assembly of at least three people. So I hired two craftsmen who supported us build. With their help we were able to assemble the house one day and raise.
However good tool as a controlled drill and a cordless screwdriver with interchangeable batteries are condition. The shed is very difficult with nearly 500 kilograms and stands by its own mass already certain. On the ground anchor, we have dispensed with since the basalt paving floor of the courtyard is completely uneven, but dowelled the house with three angles on a solid wall.
The replacement roof (see above) came a few days later and could be assembled easily, and it should be handled with care, because the material is easily broken. Here I am curious how long the roof actually holds among this country usual weather conditions. Unfortunately, the material was not really measured appropriately so that a strip remained open. Fortunately, we had the defective delivered roof from which we could use parts to compensate. It is advantageous that the scales through the plexiglass roof is bright, a disadvantage is the fragile material.
The wood is indeed pressure treated, making it dull and greenish look, but still a coat of wood preservative glaze is recommended. This protects the wood from graying and premature decomposition. In addition, one can thus give the wood a color of their own choice. For the first coat goes a 5-liter container, a second coat should be a little later.
There are only three stars because once the timber was delivered very wet and I am not convinced the Plexiglas of a roof. In addition, the material must first prove its durability. Nevertheless me the new bike shed for the successful development and its present glaze protective paint seems a rather passable solution off the shelf, for which we would have to make the other hand, a completely individual construction. However recommend to have to learn before buying just about building, to avoid any abrupt with many items to stand alone.
