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 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.
·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 pages three and four.
·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 snaptite assembly system locks most 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 snaptite system allows
adjustment for this process by simply tapping the
channel along the sheets until each end is neatly
flush. If you need to remove channels from the
panels, pull the channel along the panel from
opposing ends. You may need someone to help
with this.
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

ABSCO SHEDS - STORAGE GUIDELINES
ABSCO SHEDS include garden s eds, garden beds, storage units, aviaries,
garages, awnings and carports.
ABSCO SHEDS are designed to be weat erproof for normal weat er
conditions. In t e event of extreme weat er conditions suc as eavy rain,
combined wit ig wind gusts, t e ridge capping, s eeting joins, screw
fixings etc., may ex ibit minor deformations w ic may allow some water
entry. T ese areas s ould be c ecked regularly to ensure t at maximum
strengt and protection is maintained.
Ot er weat er conditions suc as extreme eat and extreme cold, moist or
dry air can influence t e effects of concrete floor moisture and/or
condensation on t e underside of t e roof s eets.
ABSCO SHEDS and storage units are primarily used for storage of garden
equipment suc as lawnmowers, w eelbarrows, garden tools etc. Storage
items t at mig t be adversely affected by any of t e above conditions may
require additional protection suc as being sealed or covered by plastic
s eets and/or stacked above t e concrete floor on timber slats.
Waterproof sealants may be used to offer furt er protection w ere required
around joins and screw fixings, as can rubber door seals and ot er products
w ic are available from most ardware outlets.
Placement of waterproof sealants (silicone) between t e base of t e s ed
and concrete slab is not recommended, as t is process can ave a reverse
effect, preventing excess water from escaping, resulting wit water
accumulating and being trapped inside t e s ed.
Absco accepts no responsibility for water entry, floor moisture,
condensation or t e condition of t e Contents inside your Absco steel
building arising from any of t e pre-mentioned weat er conditions.
