What is covered?

Every shed and log cabin purchased on the powersheds.com website or through an approved Power retailer comes with our free 10 year guarantee on the timber.

The exact details

Our 10 year guarantee covers timber against:

✅ Rot

✅ Decay

✅ Insect Infestation

In the unlikely event that a defect arises through proven timber failure as above, Power guarantees to make good or replace the timber or whole shed/log cabin in question.

Key terms and conditions

• Guarantee applies to sheds and logs cabins purchased in the UK only;
• The product must be used with a suitable base – all sheds and log cabins need installing on a suitable firm and level base;
• All sheds, including pressure-treated ones, must be re-treated inside and outside annually with a high-quality wood preserver, as per the maintenance advice. Although pressure-treated sheds offer enhanced protection, the timber remains porous and still requires retreatment to maintain durability. The pressure-treated Premium Powersheds range must be treated as soon as possible after delivery, as soon as the timber is dry (internally and externally) and annually thereafter with a high-quality wood preserver.
• Any windows/glazed doors on the shed must be suitably sealed with silicone or alternate water-tight solution during the installation of your building and annually maintained.
• Airflow is important to both the longevity and overall comfort inside of your building, especially in the colder months. Proper airflow is required to prevent condensation, mildew and spores. Ensuring the building is kept ventilated, Look to add external ventilation, as well as keeping the door open when possible to help dry out the building.

• Any claim must be submitted in writing by the original purchaser to the supplying retailer within one month of the apparent defect becoming evident;
• Under the law, the Contract of Sale exists between the retailer and the consumer. Consequently, any claims made under this guarantee must be made through the retailer from whom the shed/log cabin was purchased. If your retailer is no longer in business then please contact Power on 01274 036 577;

  • (a) the fault complained of relates to normal natural timber movement, maturing, or changes in appearance, including movement, warping, splitting, or appearance of knot holes or natural splits. This will not affect the structural integrity of the building and is therefore not covered by a guarantee;
  • (b) the fault complained of is normal wear and tear which could reasonably be expected to result from the shed/log cabin being used in accordance with our instructions;
  • (c) the fault is the result of any kind of accident, abuse, negligence or wilful damage whether by you or any other person, animal, weather event or otherwise;

• Following an approved repair, the guarantee will remain valid from the date of the original purchase;
• Upon seeking to claim under this Guarantee, Power may require you to supply photographs of the entire shed/log cabin and any visible fault. These photographs will be used to, in part, to determine whether a replacement is necessary. Power is the sole arbiter of whether the timber is faulty and qualifies for a replacement or repair under this Guarantee. Failure to send sufficient quality or quantity of photographs of the fault where Power has required you to supply same may result in a replacement or repair being delayed or the shed not being replaced;
