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.
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
illustrated on “FINAL CONSTRUCTION” page. 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.

Guide on Splitting Sheets
• This product comes with a perforated sheet that is designed to be split into two smaller sheets.
• These sheets have sharp edges. Once separated please use appropriate foot and hand
protection when handling.
• In order to split the sheet lay it on the ground and lift and fold one end until the perforations have
cleanly snapped.
• Discard the middle piece as scrap when convenient. Fold the scrap piece in half two or three
times and throw in garbage.
Check sheet for

SNAPTiTE ASSEMBLY GUIDE
The Snaptite Assembly System locks end channels to all roof and wall sheets without the need for
tools and fasteners.
To assemble each panel, the perimeter channels are secured to the top and bottom of each panel.
Gently tap the channel over the SNAPTiTE lugs on the sheet, working along the sheet.
Each perimeter channel must finish flush with the edges of the sheets. Simply tap the channel along
the sheets until each end is neatly flush. If you need to remove channels from the panels, slide it off
from the side.
Channel locks the shed panel into
position without the need for screws!
FASTENING SYMBOLS
Secure channel to sheeting by SNAPTiTE
fastening method.
Join components together with one
screw at this location only, as some
channels have extra holes that are not
required for this model of shed.
Do not join components together at
this location yet, as the screws may
obstruct further assembly of the other
components.
Join components together by pre-drill-
ing the holes first. Use one component as
template to mark where the holes are and
drill with a 3mm drill bit.

Guide on Joining Spliced Channels
The text marked on all parts must be shown on the same side as each other
Step 1.
Position the channels and the
CSJ joiner so the centre of
the CSJ is in line with the end
of each channel to be joiner
together.
Step 2.
Join the first channel to the CSJ
by inserting the centre of the
CSJ, on an angle, to the end of
the channel where the JOIN>>
text is marked.
Push down one side of the CSJ
until you hear a ‘click’.
Step 3.
Join the second channel to the
CSJ by positioning the <<JOIN
of the channel at the centre of
the CSJ, on an angle. Push the
CSJ into the channel until you
hear a ‘click’.
Finished Channel.
The joined channels should
now look like the picture with
the CSJ positioned equally
inside of the joined channels.
Drill out holes with 3mm drill
bit in CSJ to match the holes
in channel and secure with the
screws supplied.
These may have to be
temporarily removed during
assembly.

Guide on Joining a Spliced Ridge Beam
Follow these three steps to assemble a ridge beam.
Step 1.
Place two ridge beams as
shown and push them together.
Slide the cap of one under the
other.
NOTE.
There is a 50mm overlap of the
ridge caps when the beams are
in position.
Step 2.
Use the ZARSP to connect at
the centre of the two ridge
beams. Be sure it is pushed in
fully.
Step 3.
Turn over the ridge beam.
Measure 250mm from the
middle along the centre of one
ridge beam, mark spacings of
50mm. Fasten with a Tek screw
at each marking.
Repeat to the other side of the
ridge beam assembly.
TIP: Predrilling each hole with
the 3mm drill bit makes it easier
to fasten.

To make the total span we must now join the two ridge beams

Using a hacksaw, remove one protruding section of each
ridge beam, this will allow the sections to butt up neatly
to each other.
