If you ordered your garden shed for self-assembly , you decide on the type of subfloor you want to install it on. However, we recommend installing our garden sheds on a foundation constructed using our foundation plans (available in the Downloads section).

If you book an installation service with us, it is mandatory that you create an appropriate foundation prior to installation. Unfortunately, we cannot provide a guarantee if you request installation without laying a foundation.

The simplest and most cost-effective type of foundation is a point foundation . These can be quickly constructed, even by a layperson.

If you want to buy an insulated URBAN ONE, we recommend strip foundations or a foundation slab , as this ensures that the walls can be anchored without any problems.

Yes, the facade of the URBAN ONE is made of synthetic resin dispersion plaster. This can be painted over with any facade paint. You don't need to consider any special paint properties when choosing.

Yes, that's possible. The URBAN ONE roof has a standard roof load of 125 kg per m². This is usually sufficient for installing conventional photovoltaic systems. If even more stability is needed, we can also supply our URBAN ONE with a roof load of 300 kg per m².

The advantage of our URBAN ONE for a PV system is that the cabling can be easily routed under the roof fascia (parapet). This eliminates the need to drill holes in the wall to connect the solar panel cables to the inverter.

The URBAN ONE can be equipped with a green roof. Unfortunately, this is not possible with the other garden houses. Please note that the URBAN ONE has a standard roof load of 125 kg per m² .

Please check whether this weight will be exceeded when installing your desired green roof on the URBAN ONE. It is especially important to check how much your green roof weighs when wet (i.e., saturated). Please also note that your green roof may be subjected to additional snow loads. This adds weight and must also be taken into account. You can easily find out how much snow is expected in your region by searching the internet for a snow load zone map.

To be on the safe side, if in doubt, we recommend ordering an URBAN ONE with a roof load of 300 kg per m².

If you have any questions, please call or email us. We'll be happy to help.

The URBAN ONE features ventilation openings behind the parapet. This ensures a constant flow of air inside your garden house. If you want to order an insulated URBAN ONE, you should consider including a tilt window to ensure adequate ventilation.

Tip to improve ventilation:

Positioning: Make sure the tool shed is in a well-ventilated area.

Additional ventilation: For houses that are subject to heavy use (e.g., for storing sensitive equipment or plants), additional ventilation grilles or ventilation systems can be retrofitted.

Effective ventilation helps prevent moisture damage and increase the lifespan of your stored items.

AMAZING SPACES garden sheds are delivered without a floor, allowing you to customize the design of the subfloor according to your wishes and requirements. Whether paving stones, tiles, or other materials—there are no limits to your creativity.

Waterproofing the garden shed's floor isn't generally necessary. However, if you want additional protection against moisture or dirt, you can easily achieve this:

Use rubber or sealing strips that are placed between the bottom edge of the shed and the floor surface.

Then additionally seal the inner edge on the floor with a suitable sealant, such as Sikaflex 522. Please pay attention to the manufacturer's processing instructions.

Regardless of the waterproofing solution chosen, the garden house should always be placed on a clean and level surface to ensure optimal fit and longevity.

Insulated garden sheds are becoming increasingly popular because they offer significantly more versatility than uninsulated models. The insulated version of the URBAN ONE features insulated sandwich panel walls with a 40 mm thick polyurethane core. These walls achieve an insulation efficiency of 0.57 W/m²K.

The U-value of 0.57 W/m²K (thermal transmittance) indicates how much heat is lost per second through 1 square meter of wall at a temperature difference of 1 Kelvin (1 degree Celsius) between inside and outside. A lower U-value means better insulation. With a U-value of 0.57 W/m²K, the URBAN ONE offers solid thermal insulation for a garden shed. When heated, this opens up numerous possible uses, such as a home gym, a hobby room, a cozy retreat, overwintering plants, or the secure storage of e-bikes.

If you want to maintain a comfortable core temperature of, say, 10 degrees Celsius in the insulated URBAN ONE even in winter, an electric heater with a frost guard function or automatic temperature control is ideal. Combined with a photovoltaic system, this solution offers a particularly cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to heat your garden house.

The great thing about our products is that they are made of metal, because unlike many wooden garden sheds or wood products in general, our products do not need to be painted regularly.

However, we recommend cleaning your garden sheds regularly to ensure they continue to provide you with long-lasting enjoyment. Please see the "Added Value" section and the "Proper Care" section for more information.

We generally try to accommodate all customer requests, including taller constructions.
