Description

When searching for a shed to solve any storage crisis in your present garden, a shed that provides an incredible amount of interior space and uses high-quality materials is always an exciting find. The 10 x 8 Mercia Windowless Overlap Shed delivers exactly this at a low price from elbec. Its no frills approach to garden storage means it features a subtle, windowless design and highly practical double doors.

Features

Despite the simple fundamental design of this windowless storage shed, Mercia has taken care in creating a shed that is packed with great features. For example, double doors make it easy to transport the larger items that are suited to the spacious interior of this 10 x 8 shed. They are ledged to offer a good level of strength so that you can take advantage of them for many years to come, and are a good base to work with if you hope to add a locking mechanism to your shed at a later date. Forget any troubles you have had storing bicycles, wheelbarrows, and other larger items that can be awkward to move through a single door. 

However, the bedrock of the 10 x 8 Mercia Windowless Overlap Shed's design is its robust 7mm cladding, which gives a handsome visual impression on the long side walls of this shed. This cladding makes use of FSC certified timber, arranged horizontally and overlapped to create an effective barrier against the elements. All timber has been dip-treated prior to delivery so that you can enjoy a good level of protection from rot and damage in the initial stages of assembly and ownership. 

Once your shed is complete, elbec recommends using a high-quality wood preservative to keep your timber at its best, and reapply each year to get the most out of it. Protek produces a wide variety of stains and wood paints that are perfect for this job and will help you take the first step in protecting your shed and ensuring your 10-year anti-rot guarantee remains valid. Protek's products are available to order through elbec, and our love of their products have led us to using Protek throughout our Nottingham show site. 

The floor and roof of this shed make use of a solid sheet board material, made up of oriented wood strands locked together with a resin that makes the material resistant to water damage. The overall strength of the solid sheet board makes it a great candidate for providing support to heavier items, particularly as it is backed up by floor joists beneath. Mineral roofing felt covered the roof to give it that classic garden shed look and protect against the elements. 

28mm x 28mm timber is utilised for the internal framing, tying these various elements of your shed together into a hardy and spacious garden building. A finial above the double doors is the perfect finishing touch.

Additional Information

Your 10 x 8 Mercia Windowless Overlap Shed with Double Doors is supplied in parts, with an easy to follow instruction manual that shows you how to assemble the shed at home. Putting the shed together may be easier with an extra pair of hands in the form of a friend, and may take one or two days to finish depending on your level of DIY experience. Completing the assembly process can be hugely satisfying, and you should soon apply the wood preservative needed to ensure your 10-year anti-rot guarantee will remain valid. Examine the details of this guarantee with care to ensure you can make use of this coverage if ever necessary.

Please note: This product is supplied pre-dipped in a water based primer coat timber treatment for protection during transit. In order to receive the full manufacturer's 10 year anti-rot guarantee on your shed, it is necessary that you treat the shed with a high quality, water-based, timber preservative prior to or shortly after construction. This will protect the timber from weathering on your shed and will need to be repeated accordingly in relation to manufacturer's instructions.

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.
