The Artemis Sturdy Bench Arbour – Brown

The Range
£309.99

The Artemis arbor showcases a bench with a tongue and groove design, along with a roof also constructed in tongue and groove style to shield you from direct sunlight. Its open sides provide a clear view of your garden, while the back wall is adorned with delicate diamond trellises, offering a bit of protection and the potential for training climbing plants. To prevent any obstruction of your seat, you may need to periodically trim back any nearby trees or bushes. The Artemis Arbour is crafted from pressure-treated timber and should require no further maintenance. If you want to alter the natural color or inject some vibrancy, feel free to apply any exterior-grade wood treatment or preservative. Although it stands independently, you have the option to position it against a wall or fence, securing it to the ground using fence post spikes or post shoes (not included). It comes with comprehensive instructions and all necessary fixings for easy installation. For optimal stability, ensure the seat is placed on a level surface. The specified model dimensions refer to the roof size, so please check the exact measurements for precise building dimensions.

FAQs

The size of the shed depends on what you plan to store or use it for. Measure the items you plan to store and consider any additional space for moving around or future storage needs. Common sizes range from small (6×8 feet) for basic storage to large (12×24 feet) for workshops or extensive storage.
Sheds are typically made from wood, metal, or plastic. Wood is aesthetically pleasing and customizable but requires more maintenance. Metal sheds are durable and secure but can be prone to rust. Plastic sheds are low-maintenance and easy to assemble but may not be as sturdy as wood or metal.

Permit requirements vary by location. Check with your local building department or zoning office. Typically, small sheds (under 120 square feet) may not require a permit, but larger ones or those with electrical installations often do.

A solid foundation is crucial for stability and longevity. Options include concrete slabs, gravel bases, or wooden platforms. Choose a foundation based on your shed’s size, material, and the ground conditions of your site.
Look for sheds with features like weather-resistant materials, proper sealing, and robust construction. Ensure the shed has a good roof overhang, proper drainage, and secure locking mechanisms to protect against theft and weather damage.
Assembly time depends on the size and complexity of the shed. Small, simple sheds can be assembled in a few hours, while larger or more complex sheds may take a full day or more. Professional installation is also an option for those who prefer not to DIY.
Maintenance depends on the material. Wooden sheds need periodic painting or staining and checking for rot or pests. Metal sheds may need rust prevention treatments. Plastic sheds require minimal maintenance, typically just cleaning as needed.
Moving a shed is possible but can be challenging, especially for larger structures. It’s easier to move a smaller shed if it has a solid base. Consider the logistics and potential costs of moving before installation. If moving is likely, a portable shed might be a better option.
Many sheds come with detailed assembly instructions, making them suitable for DIY installation, especially smaller models. However, larger or more complex sheds may require professional installation to ensure they are properly and safely assembled. Assess your skill level, available tools, and the complexity of the shed before deciding.
