What base should I use?
The building does require a solid level base that is capable of taking significant weight. If your base is not level and you have not ordered an EZ base your building may be left for self assembly. For any garden shed with PVC windows or doors, we insist on a concrete base.
Do I have to paint my shed even though it's pressure treated?
All of our garden structures are fully pressure treated and come with a 10-year anti-rot guarantee. We would suggest that you protect your building by using a waterproof preservative or stain within 8 weeks of installation. Always ensure that you carefully follow the product's instructions, and make sure that it can be used with outdoor, smooth-planed, treated timber. The timber must be dry before treatment is applied
Can you do a bespoke size because the space in my Garden is 4.5ft x 7ft
We can certainly look at any design you may have and provide a quote if its possible for us to produce. Check out our Garden Room page for a look at some of the work we have done!
How do the sheds arrive?
They are delivered by a team of expert fitters. They will take the shed into your garden and build your shed!
Does the price include delivery and installation?
"We deliver and fit our sheds, summerhouses and garden rooms nationwide. Within 20 miles of our Barnsley HQ this is done for free, further afield the cost is calculated at checkout, simply add your postcode to find out. Alternatively call our sales team to check.
Do I have to be there when the shed is being delivered?
Ideally yes but if you cannot be there our team are self sufficient so do not need any power / water etc.
How long does it take to erect a shed?
Again, this depends. The average shed would be roughly an hour whereas a larger summerhouse may take a half day. Some garden rooms can be a two day job!
Can I change X and Y on the shed ie no windows, extra windows, additional door?
Of course! Check out the optional upgrades tab on each of our garden shed products to see what extras we offer! Speak with a member of our team and they will guide you through how to add any extras to your order!
What does the Membrane do?
Each MCD Garden Shed is lined with an internal membrane. This liner is a breathable fabric, allowing moisture and condensation to escape the room. Reducing any build up of damp or mould.
How do I know if I have any access restrictions?
Height restrictions, tight turns or steep steps can cause access issues, our sales team can help you to assess your access. Where our team must go through your house to get to your garden is where we may have issues but don't worry, our team can make the panels smaller, we just need to know!

Is there anything I need to do before delivery?
You need to clear the area for your garden shed.
What guarantee does your product come with?
The timber we use is fully pressure treated, therefore it comes with a 10 year anti-rot guarantee. The roof is box profile steel and will last the life of the building with no maintenance required on the roof.
Do I need to maintain my new garden building?
A timber product will always need maintaining to get the maximum life span. We will send you a care guide for you to follow with your order confirmation.
Do I pay in full at the time of order?
At the time of order we take a 25% deposit then the balance is not due until 2 working days before installation, you can however pay a larger deposit or the amount in full at the time of ordering if you prefer.
Do I need to install guttering?
We always recommend to install guttering. We can offer this as an upgrade, please ask the sales team. Guttering allows you to control the water coming off the roof. Without guttering you will find water will run off the roof and hit the ground. This will splash back against the building at floor level possibly causing damp problems.
