INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A NOTE ON SAFETY
·The site for the shed must be level. An uneven surface may result in misalignment of parts.
·It is recommended that the shed be set on a 100mm rebated concrete slab and anchored
down appropriately (refer to last page for details). A flat slab with a chamfered edge can be
used but will not result in optimum results. IF USING A REBATE ENSURE ALL FRAME
UPRIGHTS ARE TRIMMED 25mm.
·Anchor sets are not supplied as standard items with this product as some customers wish
to use their own anchoring systems.
·Before commencing any assembly, read through these instructions in detail to gain a
thorough understanding of assembly methods and associated details.
·Unpack the carton and carefully identify and check off all the parts against the parts
described and illustrated on the following pages.
·Local Authority approval must be obtained prior to construction of the shed. Once you
have selected your site you will need to lodge a site plan to your local council
·Some parts may have sharp edges. It is advisable to wear gloves when handling these
items and safety glasses if drilling holes. Sensible shoes are highly recommended.
·Do not erect your shed in windy conditions, ensure that the shed is securely anchored
to a solid foundation immediately after construction is completed.
·It is highly recommended to erect the shed with two or more people.

ABSCO ASSEMBLY INTRODUCTION
FASTENING SYMBOLS
The snap-tite assembly system locks all perimeter channels to all roof and wall
sheets without the need for tools and fasteners .
To pre-assemble the four wall panels
and two roof panels, the perimeter
channels are secured to the top and
bottom of each panel using the
snaptite system, as detailed on the
following pages wherever you see
the symbol.
Position sheets on timbers,
trestles or partly over edge of
concrete slab.
Each perimeter channel must finish flush
with the edges of the sheets. the snap-tite
system allows adjustment for this
process by simply tapping the channel
along the sheets until each end is neatly
flush.
Join components together with one screw at this
location only, as some channel sections have extra
holes that are not required for this model of garden
shed
Do not join components together at this location yet,
as the screw may obstruct further assembly of other
components

JOINING WALL & ROOF PANELS
THE 2993mm LONG PANELS NOW NEED TO BE JOINED TOGETHER, TO MAKE ONE
CONTINUOUS PANEL, FOR EACH ROOF AND WALL SECTION. THE PERIMETER
CHANNELS WILL HAVE TO BE REDUCED IN LENGTH EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF THE
OVERLAP, AS SHOWN BELOW.
OVERLAP THE PANELS AND SECURE WITH SCREWS AS SHOWN.
REFER TO THE PANEL CONSTRUCTION SECTION OF THIS INSTRUCTION FOR FURTHER
DETAILS, AND ENSURE THAT THE PANELS ARE NOT JOINED TOGETHER WITH
PRE-PUNCHED HOLES INCORRECTLY POSITIONED.
THE OVERALL LENGTH OF EACH PANEL SHOULD BE THE SAME
LENGTH AS THE RIDGE BEAM, WHICH IS 5953mm.
RIDGE BEAM/PANEL LENGTH = 2993
LESS CUT OFF SECTION = 16.5
NEW LENGTH = 2976.5
TWO PANELS JOINED: 2976.5 X 2 = 5953mm
IT IS NOT CRITICAL THAT THE OVERALL LENGTH OF 5953mm IS
EXACT, BUT TRY AND MAINTAIN THE LENGTH WITHIN 5mm.
