GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 "COMPONENTS PACKING LIST" 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.
• The bracing material supplied is 80 x 40 mm galvanised steel channel, similar to that used in steel
house framing. Some channels are required to be cut to specific lengths using a hacksaw.
SITE PREPARATION
• The site for the shed must be level. An uneven surface may result in misalignment of parts.
• The shed shall be erected on top of a reinforced concrete slab and anchored down appropriately.
• If using a rebated slab ensure that all frame uprights are trimmed 25mm.
TOOLS REQUIRED
SAFETY NOTES
• 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.

INSTALL EXTRA FASTENERS
Absco sheds sheets have punched holes typically spaced at 592mm from centre to centre.
To achieve a cyclonic wind rating additional screws will need to be installed to reduce these distances.
The fastener intended at these positions is FAST001, a 10mm self tapping screw.
Pre-drill and reinforce with extra screws at 148mm centres in the following locations
B- Roof panel to wall
C- Roof panel to ridge beam - inside [Not applicable to skillion models]
G- Wall sheet to wall channel - inside
Pre-drill and reinforce with extra screws at 296mm centres in the following locations
A- All sheet-to-sheet connections
D- Wall corners
E - Roof lip to sheet
F- Sheet to channel

“C” - Roof panel to ridge beam.
Pre-drill from inside the shed upward through the ridge beam and into the roof panel at 148mm
centres, (every pan) then fix with a screw. Some screws will already be in these positions, skip these.
For illustrative purposes fasteners are shown on just one side of the
ridge beam.
Repeat again to other side.

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.
