Installation

A perfectly level and square foundation is required for the proper installation of this DIY garden shed. Pouring a concrete footing is not essential for this purpose. Lightweight construction blocks, concrete slabs or posts are also suitable for the foundation. They need to be dug partially into the ground and levelled before installing the garden shed in order to assure that it remains stable.

 

Every DIY garden shed includes an installation manual that shows the wall elements and describes the main installation steps. This installation manual is accessible under the product description link on the home page. All installation manuals are in English and Spanish.

An online video that explains the assembly process for the DIY garden shed is also available.

Frequently Asked Questions:

- Is the assembly process difficult?

The assembly process is not difficult, but having some building knowledge is beneficial. The DIY garden shed therefore provides an easy to follow and understand installation manual that is included with the simple self-assembly kit.

Reading the instructions before beginning the assembly process is recommended as the installation manual contains a list of parts, step by step instructions, pictures and drawings. It is also suggested that the DIY garden shed be painted or treated promptly after it is assembled. Paint or stain will serve to protect the new building from the adverse effects of weather conditions.

An olnline video that explains the assembly process is also available.

- How long will it take to complete the product assembly process? 

Depending on the size of your cabin/structure and the type selected, assembly times will vary. Basic units should only take a day or two to construct, however larger, more complicated designs, could take three to days to complete. For more information, please refer to the description for your specifically selected model.

All of our products come with a manufacturer limited warranty that carries a 5-year guarantee to be free from defects in workmanship and materials.

  • The warranty is valid for as long as the structure remains at the original address of delivery.
  • Should the structure be relocated to a new destination, this warranty will be discontinued.
  • Any customer concerns are addressed in a timely fashion. We take pride in taking care of our customers.
  • Whole Wood Cabins LLC disclaims liability for damages caused by natural disasters, fire, vandalism, or storms with wind speeds exceeding 35 mph, thus excluding these causes from warranty coverage. 
  • Defects such as cracking, checking, rough surfaces, etc. are normal features of natural wood products.  Quality inspection allows for natural characteristics to be present and do not affect the sturctural integrity of the product.  
Our cabins, sheds, gazebos and other top structures are supplied untreated unless you direct us otherwise whereas all foundation and terrace boards come pretreated. It is therefore advised that paint, stain or oil be applied to all natural hardwood structures soon after they are assembled. We recommend using natural wood preservative, treatment and protection products to maintain the eco-friendly essence of our whole wood products. This treatment of paint, stain or oil will serve to protect your new building against various weather conditions as well as add to the aesthetic design of the structure. Should you opt to have Whole Wood Cabins treat your building, we can offer a myriad of superb options for top of the line quality paint and sealants that are also eco-friendly. Please feel free to contact one of our Whole Wood Cabin representatives by phone at 800-660-4430 or by email at info@wholewoodcabins.com to discuss how hardwood treatment prior to delivery can be a cost effective and time saving possibility. 
Our cabins, sheds, gazebos and other structures can be upgraded by installing electricity and/or plumbing. It has become a popular trend to repurpose the larger multi-room cabin models into a kitchen and/or bathroom. Additionally, many of our cabins work superbly as a spa for a Jacuzzi and/or hot tub. If you wish to fit a Jacuzzi or hot tub into your structure, it must be fitted before the walls are constructed. Our panel cabins come prepared to have electricity installed. Please seek advice from a professional electrician and/or plumber in your community to create a customized kitchen and/or bathroom as well as for general wiring and piping for a beautifully appointed space that is highly functional.
