Product Description
The Palmako Leif L Garden Shed is a thoughtfully designed storage solution that offers both practicality and subtle elegance for outdoor organization. With its elongated shape and streamlined structure, this shed is ideal for those who need extra storage for garden tools, sports gear, or children’s outdoor toys, all while maintaining a low-profile presence in the garden.
Built to last, the Leif L features 16mm (0.63″) thick walls, a significant upgrade from the standard garden shed, offering enhanced durability and weather resistance. The roof and floor are crafted from 16mm (0.63″) tongue-and-groove boards, ensuring solid protection against rainwater infiltration and extending the lifespan of the structure. This robust build makes the Leif L a dependable choice for year-round storage.
Aesthetically pleasing and functional, the shed features natural wood-colored horizontal side cladding, which adds a rustic charm while giving you the freedom to paint or stain the wood to match your garden’s style. The pent roof design not only contributes to its modern look but also efficiently channels rainwater away from the structure, helping to preserve its integrity over time.
The single door allows for straightforward access to stored items, while the shed’s intelligent layout provides generous internal height and volume, making it suitable for everything from bicycles and garden furniture to plant pots and equipment. A unique feature of the Leif L is the integrated side store shelter, which offers additional storage space—perfect for seasonal items or quick-access tools—without expanding the shed’s footprint.

Assembly Instructions & Manuals
Important Recommendations
✔ Store the Package Properly – Keep the house package in a dry place, off the ground, and protected from moisture and sunlight. Do not store it in a heated room
✔ Choose a Stable Location – Select a site where the house won’t be exposed to extreme weather conditions (such as heavy snowfall or strong winds). If necessary, secure the house with anchors to the subsoil
✔ Protect the Wood – All timber elements are natural and require treatment with wood protection products to resist weather exposure
Tools Required for Assembly
To assemble your garden house, you will need:
✔ Assembly aid
✔ Level
✔ Utility knife
✔ Ladder
✔ Screwdriver
✔ Measuring tape
✔ Hammer
✔ Saw
✔ Pliers
✔ Drill
✔ Protective gloves
Preparation of Components
✔ Sort all parts according to the wall plans in the installation manual
✔ Place components around the house perimeter in installation sequence
⚠ Important: Never place components directly on grass or muddy ground, as this can make cleaning difficult or even impossible later.
Garden House Installation
✔ Foundation Preparation – Start by ensuring a level and square foundation. A concrete foundation is not required—you can use lightweight construction blocks, concrete slabs, or posts. These should be partially buried and leveled before assembling the house to prevent sinking
✔ Follow the Installation Manual – Every house comes with an installation manual, outlining each stage of construction and displaying wall element placement. Some of these instructions can be viewed on this page
Foundation Guidelines
✔ The foundation’s upper edge should extend at least 2 inches (5 cm) above ground level.
✔ Foundation joists should be supported at intervals no greater than 20-24 inches (50-60 cm).
✔ Ensure adequate air circulation under the house floor for proper ventilation.
Recommended Foundation Options:
✔ Screw Foundation – Quick and adjustable
✔ Strip or Spot (Pile) Foundation – Ideal for stability
✔ Concrete or Pavement Slabs – A durable and straightforward option
✔ Slab Foundation (Cast Concrete Bed) – Provides the strongest base
⚠ Note: Different houses require different foundation layouts—refer to the base frame drawing in the installation manual for specifics.

Treatment and care
⚠ Disclaimer: These are general recommendations for maintaining your Palmako cabin. Proper care is essential to ensure longevity and safe operation. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consult a professional if you experience electrical or structural issues.
✔ Natural Wood Characteristics – Wood is a living material that expands and contracts with changing weather conditions. Cracks, knots, and variations in color or grain are natural occurrences and do not affect the durability or quality of the product
✔ Preventing Mold & Discoloration – Unprocessed wood (excluding foundation joists) naturally turns grey over time and may develop blue stains or mold if left untreated. To protect your investment, apply a high-quality wood preservative immediately after assembly or opt for a professional wood treatment service
✔ Floor Board Protection – Before assembly, treat the undersides of floorboards with a colorless wood impregnation agent to prevent moisture buildup. This step is essential, as these areas will be inaccessible after installation
✔ Doors & Windows Maintenance – To prevent warping and twisting, treat both the interior and exterior surfaces of doors and windows with a wood impregnation agent. Proper treatment helps maintain their structure and ensures smooth operation over time
✔ Final Weather Protection – Once your product is assembled, apply a weather-resistant paint or sealant to shield the wood from moisture, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations. This final protective layer will extend the lifespan of your structure significantly
✔ Painting Best Practices – For optimal results:
- Use premium-quality paint and tools
- Follow the paint manufacturer’s guidelines
- Avoid painting in direct sunlight or rainy conditions
- Seek advice from a specialist for the best paint options for untreated softwood
✔ Ongoing Maintenance – A biannual inspection is recommended to ensure your structure remains in excellent condition. Regular maintenance will help identify potential issues early, allowing for timely touch-ups and long-term durability
