Detailed Specification

Please note: all imperial measurements are approximate and Mercia products are made from metric measurements. We would recommend that the base is at least 50mm bigger in each direction.

Description

The 20 x 10 Mercia Premium Shiplap Reverse Apex Modular Workshop is the largest model available in the Mercia range, suitable for bigger gardens and those who need plenty of storage space. Great as a workshop or even as an office, this shed has strong tongue and groove construction to keep water out and protect against the elements. The garden building’s impressive size allows plenty of scope for a variety of uses, such as a full garden workshop with workbenches and shelving, storage for larger garden equipment, or even as an occasional office. For safety, the doors have a hasp and staple where you can secure them with a padlock, and have ledged and Z-frame bracing. 

You have the added advantage of a single door which makes life easier when you don't want to open the double door, and you can also position this additional single down to suit. You will be able to see examples of different layouts in our product images.

The workshop’s three opening windows ensure the interior remains comfortable, allowing air circulation and ample natural light. They are located high enough on the wall to ensure you will have space for any desks, shelves, or work benches you might wish to install underneath. If you have always pictured having a quiet place away from the house where you can work on DIY projects or other hobbies, this workshop has the space and build quality you need to achieve this ambition. 

Features

The workshop is made in the UK, using ethically sourced, FSC® certified timber. Because we understand longevity is key when it comes to investing in a premium garden building, this workshop has walls constructed with shiplap tongue and groove cladding. The cladding uses tightly interlocking 12mm timber, to help protect against bad weather over the years, while providing a pleasing and low-profile finish to the walls that looks and feels better than the overlapped timber often found on cheaper sheds. The workshop’s roof and floor are quality tongue and groove boards, creating a great barrier to the elements and a stable base for heavier items like benches or shelves.

The building’s strength and durability are supplemented by other features, such as three windows made from robust styrene. This material is shatterproof, making it a safer alternative to glass when it comes to the potential accidents that occur in a bustling garden environment – especially when younger family members are around. A raised window allows ample natural light to enter while you work, and leaves room underneath for any workbenches or shelves you want to position against the same wall. For improved security, your own padlock can be attached to the hasp and staple on the doors.

Please note: some images may show the workshop decorated with accessories/furnishings these are for display purposes only. These are not included with your purchase.

Installation

This building is supplied flat packed with detailed instructions and all the fixtures needed to complete assembly by yourself. We recommend that you build your workshop with one or two trusted friends, or simply add the option to have your building professionally assembled by our team when you order. The Mercia Premium Shiplap Reverse Apex shed has a ‘modular’ design, which has many advantages. It means that the wall panels of the shed are manufactured in smaller parts, making handling and assembly easier as well as increasing the overall strength of the building.  You have the option of our manufacturer's installation service if you still feel putting the shed together is not the job for you.  We advise against arranging for a third party to install the building before it's been delivered and you've checked that all parts are present, as we cannot be held liable for any third-party costs.

Aftercare

The shed is supplied untreated except for a factory applied base coat.  This base coat may differ in shade across parts. This dip-treated product requires treatment immediately after assembly, and thereafter annual re-treatment to protect against rotting. There is a 10 year anti-rot guarantee from Mercia, dependant upon the building being treated annually with a wood preservative and a waterproof topcoat.  Our manufacturer recommends Protek Royal Exterior wood paint to protect your shed, you can select your colour choice from the paint options on this page.  Alternatively, if you don't see a colour you like, elbec offer the full range of Protek paints to personalise your garden building.  Click here for the full range of Protek Royal colours.

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.
