anchors supplied.
Failure to do so will result in the shed not
having the structural integrity required to
endure a severe storms or cyclonic event.
WARNING: Doors must remain closed with
all padbolts properly secured during severe
storms or cyclonic event.
Where information conflicts with the original
instruction manual, this document is to be

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.
• Do not erect your shed in windy conditions.
• It is highly recommended to erect the shed with two or more people.

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.

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.
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: If you have a slab with an edge rebate in your concrete slab, you will have to cut an amount
off the bottom of the frame legs equal to the depth of the rebate.
TIP: An easy way to make sure that the angle
at the top of the portal frame is correct is to
use the gable wall panel as a template to lay
the sections out. As the portal frame fits inside
the walls, the width of the frame will be 40mm
less than the gable wall panel.

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
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
F- Sheet to channel

DOOR BRACING
2. Place door frame components on a flat
and level surface and use one tek screw at
each join.
NOTE: If the door has been completely
assembled as per original instruction manual
you will need to remove the diagonal door
braces.
3. Make sure the frame is square and fix with
a second tek screw at each join.
4. Turn frame over and repeat last step.
1. Seal any brace holes using the supplied
pop rivets, FAST007. Perform from the
outside of the door.

5. Place the door frame against the door, ensure
that it is centred. If the door is already fitted to the
shed you may need a second person for this step.
Alternatively you can removed the door and refit it
with pop rivets.
9. Doors require additional padbolts.
predrill and fix with the following:
Vertical positions ‘B’ and ‘C’
- 1x Padbolt FAST006
- 4x nut FAST005
- 4x bolt FAST004
NOTE: Fit to exterior for double doors.
Horizontal position ‘D’
- 1x Padbolt FAST006
- 1x Door plate 12A
- 1x Hasp FAST007
- 6x Self tapping screws FAST001
10. Drill 10mm holes in the jamb above the
door (ref image ‘B’) and the channel below
the door (ref image ‘C’). These align with
the vertical padbolt shafts of double doors.
DOOR BRACING
6. Use tek screws to fix the frame to the door
at every corner.
7. Continue fixing at 296mm spacings along
each frame member.
8. Install a third hinge at position ‘A’, as
shown above. This is the midway point
along the door channel and jamb. pre-drill
the holes with a 3mm drill bit and fix with 3x
FAST007 pop rivets.

BRACING FOR SIDE WALLS
3. Once the correct lengths have been determined proceed to fix them with tek screws at every second
corrugation as described in BOXING FRAME SECTIONS.
4. Now secure to the rear wall with tek screws from outside the shed at 148mm spacings. This is best
done with two people.
NOTE: This wall bracing will have to cut to
suit from part C2100.
1. Take the cut-to length framing for the side
walls, and partially box them together, do
not tek screw yet.
2. Place the unscrewed box section against
the wall, in the orientation pictured, and slide
the two pieces apart until they make contact
with the wall front and back wall. Or the
portal frame and wall (30372RK, 30292RK).
The result should look similar to what is
pictured to the right.

Side wall
Bracing installed on the side 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.

BRACING FOR SIDE WALLS - PORTAL FRAME
Now fasten all boxed frame sections to the non-gable wall from the outside of the shed. This task is
best done with two people.
Further secure the wall bracing to the portal frame using a BKT17 and tek screws on either side as
shown.
For the open side of the portal frame take a C0100, and box in
the position as shown.
NOTE: This method will be used again to mount the roof bracing.
Applies to 30372RK and
30292RK only.
