Site Preparation
• Local council approval must be obtained prior
to construction of the carport. Once you have
selected your site you will need to create
and lodge a site plan to your local council or
certifier. You will also have to attach a copy of
the engineering drawings at the back of these
instructions to your site plan.
• The site for the carport must be level, refer
to concrete and foundation notes on the
engineering drawing.
General Instructions
• Beforecommencinganyassembly,readthrough
these instructions and engineers drawings in
detail to gain a thorough understanding of
assembly methods and associated details.
• Some components have been pre-punched.
Some 10mm holes will still have to be drilled.
It may be easier to drill a small pilot hole first.
• Measure, and check off all components using
the parts lists on the following pages prior to
commencement. To prevent damage in transit,
some components may be packed inside
others, almost hidden. Carefully examine
inside each component to ensure that you
have located every item. If a discrepancy is
found, contact Absco Industries immediately.
Safety Notes
• The assembly of this product requires some
lifting of heavy objects. Two person lifts are
required.
• Some parts have sharp edges and/or corners.
The use of gloves and safety shoes is highly
recommended. Pay attention to where these
parts can be safely handled, and plan the
handling of these parts before working with
them.
• Drilling sheet metal produces small metal
shavings the use of safety glasses and the
periodic clearing of these shavings throughout
the build is recommended.
• Use the appropriate personal protective
equipment for any tool used during the
assembly.
Tools Required
• Electric drill with chuck
• 3 and 10 mm drill bits
• Hammer drill
• 10 mm masonry drill bit

EDGE BEAM ASSEMBLY
Mark a line 1355 mm in from each end of the side
beams. These are the positions for locating the
column top brackets, BKT07.
To make rainwater flow to the downpipe at the
rear of the carport, the rear posts are 50mm
shorter than the front.
Mark these four hole positions of the BKT07 on
the beam and then drill 10 mm holes.
Don’t fasten these brackets yet, just make the
holes for now.
Therefore to keep the posts vertical, the BKT07
need to be inset 6 mm at their front-most edge
as shown below.
Make sure the side of the
BKT07 with these four holes
along the top edge are put
to the side beam.

NOTE: Minimum two people required for these
step.
REAR POSTS
Referring back to page 9 locate one M10 x 20
mm bolt and a nut with washers both sides at
each end of the cross beam and post assembly
to the predrilled pivot holes.
Only finger tighten these for now to allow the
sections to move when lifted.
With one person holding each post begin to
carefully lift the roof structure.
Continue lifting until a second bolt can be
fastened to the top bracket and edge beam.
Secure all four M10 x 20mm bolts with a nut and
washer both sides.
FRONT POSTS
Repeat these steps for the other cross beam
assembly.
Now go around and full tighten all nut and bolt
connections, including splice plate connections.
Take care to check the bolts securing the base
brackets, as access can now be awkward.

BRACING
SHEETING
Equally space the angle roof braces (ZACO121)
as shown and secure to the underside of the
cross beams with two teks per connection.
It is critical that you begin at the
rear of the structure. Lay four
sheets left-to-right with an overlap
of one rib.
Align the short edge of the sheets
with the edge of the rear beam, as
shown in the detail view, and fasten
with a screw in every flat pan into
the framing.
Slip a neoprene washer onto the
tek before screwing for a water
tight connection.
The long edges of the sheeting
should be hard up against the
inside of the side edge beams.
secure along edges at 150mm
centres after all four rows of sheet
have been fixed.
Where the rear row of sheeting
overlaps the front row and a cross
beam fasten with a tek screw in
every second sheet pan.
With the front row of sheeting
make sure it is flush against the
inside front of the beam.

DOWNPIPE
It can be fit to either end of the rear beam, make
a decision based on site specific factors.
Cut a round hole 51mm dia in one end of the
rear edge beam. The can be done by drilling a
series of 3mm holes and knocking it out or by
metal holesaw. It won’t be visible when finished.
Fit the galvanised gutter drop RWG17 from the
top down into the hole.
Drill two 3 mm holes through the underside of
the end beam and into the flange of the gutter
drop and then fasten using two pop rivets. Use
water proof sealant around the hole inside the
beam.
Join the top three pieces of the down pipe
assembly, RWG02 + RWG13 + RWG02 with PVC
solvent welding cement. Position over the gutter
drop and align with post.
Drill two 3 mm holes through both sides of the
PVC elbow and into the gutter drop and then
fasten with two tek screws.
Fit one end of downpipe RWG14 with the elbow
RWG01 at trim the other end to the desired
height. Fix with PVC solvent welding cement.
Bend two 270 x 25 mm flat strips ZACO126 to
shape around the downpipe and to the sides of
the post and fasten with tek screws.
Immediate maintenance required!
Clean down all roof and beam internal areas
of metal filings from drilling operations and
self drilling screws.
If not cleaned these will cause discolouration
and corrosion to roof sheets and galvanised
framing sections, see warranty for more details

Absco Sheds Storage Guidelines
• Absco Sheds are designed to be weatherproof for normal weather conditions. In the event of extreme
weather conditions such as heavy rain, combined with high wind gusts, the ridge capping, sheeting joins,
screw fixings etc., may exhibit minor deformations which may allow some water entry. These areas should be
checked regularly to ensure that maximum strength and protection is maintained.
• Other weather conditions such as extreme heat and extreme cold, moist or dry air can influence the effects
of concrete floor moisture and/or condensation on the underside of the roof sheets.
• Absco Sheds and storage units are primarily used for storage of garden equipment such as lawnmowers,
wheelbarrows, garden tools etc. Storage items that might be adversely affected by any of the above conditions
may require additional protection such as being sealed or covered by plastic sheets and/or stacked above
the concrete floor on timber slats.
• Waterproof sealants may be used to offer further protection where required around joins and screw fixings,
as can rubber door seals and other products which are available from most hardware outlets.
• Placement of waterproof sealants (silicone) between the base of the shed and concrete slab is not
recommended, as this process can have a reverse effect, preventing excess water from escaping, resulting
with water accumulating and being trapped inside the shed.
• Absco accepts no responsibility for water entry, floor moisture, condensation or the condition of the Contents
inside your Absco steel building arising from any of the pre-mentioned weather conditions.
