Detailed Specification

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

Description

If you want to organise and store your outdoor clutter - garden furniture, equipment, and more - do it in comfort and style with this 10 x 6 Mercia Overlap Shed. Featuring four fixed windows and a rustic overlap cladding with rough sawn timber, this model in Mercia's range has all you could need from a garden shed.

Features

Each use of your new shed will remind you of its fantastic quality, due to features like the double doors and four windows. These doors, which are ledged to ensure they stay strong for many years, allow users to open up the shed when storing larger items or creating some air circulation on hot days. Keeping them closed when not in use is easily done with the turn of a catch.

The styrene glazing used in each of this shed's windows is chosen for its shatterproof properties that make it a safe choice in family gardens when compared to traditional glass. Customers can choose the side on which they would like to position the windows, so that they can make the most of the ambient sunlight of the shed's surroundings.

Perhaps the most important feature of this shed is its cladding, an 7mm overlap timber construction with angled horizontal boards designed to divert rainfall away from your belongings. The timber used is FSC certified, sourced only from sustainable forests, and has been dip-treated with a wood preservative so that it remains undamaged from rot or damp during those initial stages of transit and assembly. Once your shed is standing in your own garden, elbec recommends applying another high-quality wood preservative like those produced by Protek.

Not only will this keep you on track when it comes to keeping your 10-year anti-rot guarantee valid, but it will get the most out of your timber and even add a personalised element due to the vast array of colours in the Protek range. Browse Protek on elbec and order your chosen paint alongside your order to make sure you're primed and ready for owning a timber shed.

The roof and floor of your shed puts an 8mm solid sheet board to use, which is highly effective thanks to its water resistant properties and overall durability and strength. Floor joists and roofing felt support these respective parts. 28mm x 28mm timber is used for the robust internal framing that keeps the shed structural sound.

Additional Information

Your shed will be delivered in parts, ready for assembly at home. It will take two adults to build, and prior experience of similar DIY projects will help you in completing the shed. Fortunately Mercia includes a detailed instruction manual to follow and it is likely that you will be able to use the garden building only one or two days after you begin the assembly process.

Delivery

ALL DELIVERIES ARE DELIVERED TO KERBSIDE OR DRIVEWAY. All of our Mercia products are delivered flat packed other than fence panels (which are delivered fully constructed), direct to your home, and are supplied with a set of instructions to support assembly.

Booking Delivery

You will be required to book your delivery date at the time of placing your order (except for Metal Shed). Our 'Request a Delivery Date' service is available to the majority of areas and you'll find that the majority of the UK postcodes are FREE but some areas may incur a delivery surcharge and some postcodes are not covered at all. Select a 'requested delivery date' by entering your postcode in the 'Request a delivery date' section above. You will also be notified at this time if your area incurs a surcharge or delivery is not covered in your area.

Prior to Delivery

On the morning of your delivery date, you'll be sent an update by text with an estimated 2-hour delivery slot (this update can only be provided where a mobile number has been supplied on the billing address section at the time of checkout) together with a link to the manufacturer delivery portal where you'll be able to track your order.

Please note: Mercia Metal Sheds ONLY - your order is delivered by a courier you will not be notified prior to the delivery. If you are not in on the day of the delivery you will be carded and asked to contact the courier to arrange a new mutual delivery date. The estimated delivery lead time for Mercia's Metal sheds is identified on the product for the metal shed. Lead times are on 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 either a 3.5T, 7.5T or 18T Lorry. 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 unsafe 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.

Orders with Assembly 

The lead time for our installation option is around 7 Weeks from the date of order. With the installation option, the majority of orders will have their delivery and installation on separate days; there will be a small number of orders which will have delivery and installation on the same day. You will be advised by the manufacturer's installation team which category your order falls into.

Depending on the installation option for your order, you will be contacted within the delivery timescale and given a date for either delivery/assembly on the same date or a separate date for delivery and assembly.
