Description
Mercia's 7 x 5 overlap shed with a pent roof is a great option for those seeking a useful storage space with a handsome timber exterior. The smaller size of this shed means it is well-suited to smaller gardens, especially due to the position of the door on the longer side of the shed. Explore the full features of the 7 x 5 Mercia Overlap Pent Shed below and see why it is a highly popular shed that often outperforms its competitors among its price range.
Features
The pent roof design of this shed is ideal for anyone hoping to use their shed for storage purposes. Upon entering the shed, users can enjoy the maximum headroom at the front of the shed, while the lowest point in the roof's height is conveniently towards the back of the shed - where items are likely to be stored. A sloped roof is also preferable when it comes to diverting rainfall away from your shed, as rainwater never has the opportunity to form a puddle and cause damage. The roof of this shed uses a rugged oriented strand board that is water resistant and covered with mineral roofing felt. This same solid sheet board material features in the floor of the shed due to its high uniform strength, particularly when backed up by the strong floor joists beneath this board.
Your daily experience in using the shed has been taken into consideration with a window by the door that does a good job of allowing light into the interior and making it far easier to locate items and organise your storage space. This fixed window features a styrene glazing that is shatterproof, making it the perfect material for a shed that faces a bustling family garden where ball games can go awry.
Perhaps the most appealing element of the 7 x 5 Mercia Overlap Pent Shed's design is its rustic timber cladding. The 7mm cladding uses sustainably sourced timber that has been dip-treated prior to delivery, a treatment that protects your parts during transit and assembly. Once up, take the next step in protecting your timber against the elements and keeping your 10-year anti-rot guarantee valid by adding a wood preservative (such as Protek, available to order from elbec).
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 in line with the manufacturer's guidelines. 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.
Installation
Your shed will be delivered flat-packed with all the parts and fixtures needed to install your new garden building at home. We recommend allowing one or two days to do so, depending on your prior experience with similar DIY projects, and enlisting the help of an enthusiastic friend to help you put together your shed. You have the option to enlist the help of our manufacturer's professional assembly to install your shed.
