BOXING FRAME SECTIONS
1. All frame sections have one side length of
38mm and another at 40mm.
3. Slide opposing sides together so that
each frame section fits neatly inside the
other.
5. Fix with tek screws.
Use tek screws to fix the two sections and complete a boxed frame member as shown. Make sure that
you alternate tek screw position on opposing sides of the boxed sections. Align tek screws 296mm
apart. This is approximately 2 sheet corrugations in distance. If spaced correctly the screw heads will
line up with corrugations of the sheets and will make for a flush finish against the wall or roof.
2. Slide the 38mm side into the 40mm side
as shown.
4. Apply firm pressure to each side of the
boxed section to firmly lock it into position.
NOTE:
- Only the horizontal wall frame sections are to be boxed.
- Do not screw any boxed sections until they have been correctly sized as the specific step instructs.
- Roof section, door frames and upright door studs are singular pieces.
- Use self drilling tek screws for all assembly and installation of these sections.

USING SELF DRILLING TEK SCREWS
Self drilling tek screws are an effective means of securing components without the need to pre-drill
holes. By following these instructions you will be able to easily secure your frame kit components.
Self drilling tek screws require an electric or battery
drill for installation, Do not attempt to fasten tek
screws by hand.
If available make sure that the drill has the slow
speed and high torque settings selected.
Fit the supplied driver bit into the chuck of the drill.
Place the tek screw onto the tip of the driver and
place the tek screw into position using the weight
of the drill to prevent it from moving.
Once in position apply a moderate amount of
pressure to the drill
Start slowly, begin to drill the tek screw into the
metal.
Once the tek screw has stabilised while drilling
increase the speed until the tek screw threads ‘bite’
into the metal.

BRACING FOR FRONT WALL
TIP 1:
Cut two lengths of timber to 870mm. These
will act as a height reference guide and
help hold the horizontal braces. This makes
installation much simpler and more effective.
TIP 2:
Take a single piece of wood at 890mm. This
will act as a height template to mark the
drilling positions when outside the shed to
fix the internal bracing.
At the front of the shed place a horizontal
boxed section at 870mm height and tek
screw in position as shown on the right.
Make sure that the boxed section is pushed
firmly against the side wall. This will allow the
door stud to be installed later.
Now secure to the rear wall with tek screws
from outside the shed at 148mm spacings.
This is best done with two people.

Absco Sheds Storage Guidelines
• Absco Sheds are designed to be weatherproof for normal weather conditions. In the event of extreme
weather conditions such as heavy rain, combined with high wind gusts, the ridge capping, sheeting joins,
screw fixings etc., may exhibit minor deformations which may allow some water entry. These areas should be
checked regularly to ensure that maximum strength and protection is maintained.
• Other weather conditions such as extreme heat and extreme cold, moist or dry air can influence the effects
of concrete floor moisture and/or condensation on the underside of the roof sheets.
• Absco Sheds and storage units are primarily used for storage of garden equipment such as lawnmowers,
wheelbarrows, garden tools etc. Storage items that might be adversely affected by any of the above conditions
may require additional protection such as being sealed or covered by plastic sheets and/or stacked above
the concrete floor on timber slats.
• Waterproof sealants may be used to offer further protection where required around joins and screw fixings,
as can rubber door seals and other products which are available from most hardware outlets.
• Placement of waterproof sealants (silicone) between the base of the shed and concrete slab is not
recommended, as this process can have a reverse effect, preventing excess water from escaping, resulting
with water accumulating and being trapped inside the shed.
• Absco accepts no responsibility for water entry, floor moisture, condensation or the condition of the Contents
inside your Absco steel building arising from any of the pre-mentioned weather conditions.
