Give Your Garden Shed Proper Upkeep

11/8/2018

6 Comments

 
Picture
​A garden shed on your property is a good investment. But, it is prone to a lot of risks, as it is installed outside your home. If you have a plan of using your shed for a long time, you need to give it proper maintenance and treatment.
Roof Felt Maintenance
Proper maintenance of the roof felt can help keep your shed watertight. The lifespan of the roof felt is about five years. Therefore, it is better to replace it after those times. Even so, check the roof of your shed on a regular basis. Look for tears, holes, falling branches, etc.
 
Reduce Exposure To Plants And Trees
Inspect the surrounding area of your shed, particularly plants and trees. Their leaves alone can cause the wood to be damp, which is not good for your shed. So, cut back the plants and trees that are growing near your garden shed. Doing this will help avoid problems such as dampness.
 
How To Treat Your Shed
  • Treat your shed when the weather is good.
  • Treat the corners and gaps regularly.
  • Strip the wood of paint, varnish, or stain before applying treatment.
  • Buy preservative treatment that is designed to work on your shed.
 
Upkeep For Garden Shed Interior
Make sure to conduct regular inspection not just outside but also inside the shed. Look for any signs of dampness, leaks, and holes. Fix the problem as soon as you see one to prevent it from getting worse. For example, holes can allow water to enter the shed, causing some parts to damp and rot.
 
Tip. After every rainfall, check inside your shed for leaks as you can easily see them at that time.
 
Inspect The Base Of Your Garden Shed Regularly
Your shed can last for many years if it has a good base. The base of your shed must be level, sturdy, and dry. All this will help prevent your shed from getting waterlogged, resulting in rotting, warping, and collapsing. Also, inspect if the timber has soil on it, as it can cause dampness.
 
Regular upkeep and checkups can do wonders for the quality and longevity of your garden. But, do not think twice to take it down if you can see that it has already become unstable and rotten.
 
Conclusion
Having a garden shed is beneficial for you in a lot of ways. Now it the best time to buy windstorm insurance so you can cover your shed.
