About this product
Will it suit your space?
On the ground it takes 2,990mm x 2,390mm, or 3,096mm x 2,851mm including the roof overhang. Height is 2,170mm at the highest point and 1,795mm at the eaves. Inside you have about 2,922mm x 2,322mm of floor. The door opening is 1,360mm wide and 1,710mm high.
Check the space with the overhang included, and leave room all round to build it and to treat the timber each year. It needs a firm, flat and level base such as concrete, paving slabs or a timber frame base; grass, soil or loose gravel will move under the weight.
