Safety Notes
• Some parts and assemblies have sharp edges and/ or sharp corners.
• The use of gloves and safety shoes is highly recommended.
• Pay attention to where these parts can be handled most safely, and plan the handling of these
parts and assemblies prior to working with them.
• The assembly of this product requires drilling into sheet metal which produces small metal
shavings.
• Clearing of these shavings throughout the assembly process is highly recommended.

1. Part numbers
As noted on page one, part numbers have been printed on most 80 x 40 channel sections and
sheeting. All other components have not been marked with part numbers, but can be identified by
their description, size and sketches provided on pages three, four and five of this instruction.
2. Personal Access Door (P.A. Door)
If you have selected the optional Personal Access Door, P.A. Door, There is an additional
instruction manual that is to be used in conjunction with this document.
3. All components pre-cut to size
Do not cut any components to a different size, unless it is clearly noted in this instruction to do
so. Dimensions in this assembly instruction are exact, where as dimensions noted on the engineering
plans are approximate. Double check that you have the correct component for the correct location.
4. Self drilling screws
Helpful Hints
10 x 16 Hex head tek screw for general use.
Phillips head tek screw - use on outside
of front framework to maintain a smooth
surface to surface to secure sheeting to.
The structure is assembled using these self drilling tek screws. All roof and wall sheets are pan
fixed. ie screw through the flat pan of the sheet into the framework.
Screw driver bits are included for use in your drill. Refer to the attached engineering drawings
for the quantity of screws required per connection.
10 x 16 Hex head tek screw with neoprene
washer for securing roof sheets to
framework.

5. Missing parts
To prevent damage in transit, some items are packed inside others. eg. some flashings may be
inside channel sections, other items may be packed inside gutters, some roof sheets packed on top,
some on the bottom etc. be very thorough when checking and locating all components.
6. Anchor sets not supplied (Hold down brackets are included)
Anchor sets are not supplied with this garage, but can be obtained from most hardware out-
lets. Anchors required for this garage are as follows;
11 Chemsets M10130 (10mm x 130mm Long)
2 M10 X 75 Dynabolts for P’ Door if applicable.
Note: M10 x 125 long dynabolts can be substituted for chemsets
Frame Section Identification Guide
There are several types of frame section, each featuring a different combination of notches and/or
holes. Frame sections are coded with a letter representing the type of frame section, followed by the
length of the frame section in millimeters.
EG: C2960 = Straight cut both ends with overall length of 2960mm
C-TYPE - Straight cut at both ends M-TYPE - 45mm lip notch at both ends
J-TYPE - Straight cut at one end: 20mm tab notch with
holes at other end
K-TYPE - 20mm tab notch with holes at both ends
L-TYPE - Straight cut at one end: 45mm lip notch at other
end.
N-TYPE - Straight cut at one end: 45mm lip notch/20mm
tab notch with holes at other end
P-TYPE - 45mm lip notch/20mm tab notch with holes at
both ends.
R-TYPE - 45mm lip notch/20mm tab notch with holes at
one end: 90mm lip notch at other end.
S-TYPE - Variable notching and/or holes nominated in parts checklist

The garage has been designed
so the slab and the external

Guide for Connecting Frame Sections
Absco sheds’ frame assemblies are supplied with
10-16x16 self drilling wafer head phillips drive tek
screws
The wafer head minimises distortion to the sheet
cladding once it is fitted to the frame
Ensure that driver bits used to fasten these screws
is phillips drive, as similar alternatives (EG. Pozi
drive) increases the risk of stripping the head of
these screws.
Some holes are pre-punched in Absco sheds’ frame
sections, however the wide range of positions that
most fasteners are required for means that the
remainder have to be drilled as per the connection
being made
A 3mm drill bit is supplied for pre-drilling holes
where self drilling screws may be more difficult to
establish holes with (EG. Fitment of purlin brackets).
Absco sheds’ frame sections are manufactured
from light gauge steel, enabling for the notched
ends or lengths of one frame section to be spread
over the sides of another frame section, boxed
frame section or H-section.
Absco sheds’ frame sections are designed to nest
into one another to create boxed frame sections
Boxed frame sections are only required in some
parts of the entire frame assembly
Boxed frame sections are fastened together using
the fast014 tek screws supplied at 300mm centres
(unless otherwise stated) along the length of each
boxed frame section.
Some connections are designed to fasten more than two parts together. Connections may also not
feature a defined alignment or physical stop.
For these reasons, focus on arranging all parts of a frame assembly or subassembly together (to
the overall sizes and check measurements nominated) using minimal screws. This allows for easier
adjustment to various connections which may be necessary to achieve the overall dimensions and
check measurements that are nominated.
Fit the remaining screws once the frame assembly or subassembly is assembled as per the overall
dimensions and check measurements that are nominated
