As is the case with any structure it is important to get the foundation right, the foundation for your Trekk Shed is no different and will need to be secured to something suitable. Every Trekk shed includes a timber base frame that is designed to be installed on top of a suitable foundation which could be a concrete slab, timber frame and posts, metal frame and posts or gravel pad with bearers.  

For the best long-term protection, we recommend lifting the shed slightly off the ground to allow for adequate airflow. You can also opt for our steel sub-frame, designed to perfectly fit each shed, it’s the most durable solution to keep your shed safe and secure for years to come. 

Every Trekk Shed is designed with user-friendly assembly in mind. To make the process as smooth as possible, each shed kit comes with a printed instruction booklet. Inside, you’ll find: 

  • Comprehensive step-by-step instructions
  • Illustrated diagrams and plans that clearly show how each stage of assembly should look
  • Supporting photographs to give you extra visual guidance
  • A numbered labelling system on the panels and hardware that corresponds with the diagrams

The instructions don’t just tell you what to do, they also include handy tips, safety reminders, and a checklist of the basic tools you’ll need before you get started. This means you can feel confident and well-prepared, even if this is your very first shed project.

Constructing a Trekk Shed doesn’t require a full workshop of tools. Just a few tools like a hammer, drill, level, circular saw and measuring tape are all you need. For the build, it’s definitely easier if you have an extra set of hands, so we recommend asking a friend or family member to give you a hand and make the job quicker, safer, and more enjoyable. 

One of the biggest time-savers with a Trekk shed is that every panel comes pre-primed and ready to paint. Once your shed is assembled, all that’s left is adding your personal touch with colour. For the best finish and protection, we recommend applying a minimum of two coats of exterior-grade paint. 

From pre-primed to painted perfection!

With a range of flatpack timber panel shed available and sizes ranging from 0.8m2, up to 5.8m2, there is a Trekk Shed to suit everyone.
