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 most safely, 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.

COMPONENT OVERVIEW
The frame is constructed from 80mm x 40mm galvanised steel channel, similar to that used in domestic steel
house framing. All sections are cut to exact lengths, with channel ends pre-punched where necessary to simplify
assembly.
Channel sections are secured together using 10G self drilling tek screws (supplied). Roof sheets are secured
to the frame using 10G x self drilling tek screws with neoprene washers (supplied). Barge capping is secured
together using 3mm pop rivets (supplied).

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

Slab Details and Anchoring Layout
• The garage has been designed so that the slab
and the external dimensions of the frame are the
same. This allows the wall sheeting to overlap the
top of the slab by 30mm and this prevents water
entering the structure.
• If a front stepdown or ramp is added as
recommended be sure to allow for the 30mm
stepdown for the wall sheeting at the entrance.
• Refer to the attached engineering drawings for
footings as an alternative to the slab specified.

Anchoring Layout
• Fasten the multipurpose brackets (BKT17) to the
frames as shown above while they are laying on
the ground.
• Front and Rear frames will also require the C0100
be boxed into the bottom of both columns.
• Mark out the frame positions according to page
14. Misalignment between frames will result in the
wall girts not fitting properly.
• Secure with tek screws, refer to the engineering
drawing for the quantity of teks per bracket.
• When securing the BKT17 to the slab always use
the bracket hole that is furtherest away from the
slab edge. This will prevent the possibility of the
concrete cracking near the slab edge.
This image only shows the bottom of the frames and is not to scale.

0. General Anchoring Method
• To secure each frame to the slab, move the frame to
its marked position. One person will need to hold
the frame in position while another should mark
the inner holes of the anchor brackets (BKT17).
• Move the frame away enough to get tool access
and drill the slab for each anchor.
• Move the frame back into position and secure with
anchors.
1. Rear Frame
• The rear frame can be supported with ropes and
pegs or propped with the roof purlins (C2960)
during this stage.

Frame Construction
3. Internal Frames
• Secure the first internal frame to the slab
• Fit the four side wall girts (K1933) to the same
height as the rear wall girts.
• Bend the inside tab of the K1933’s to a right angle
so it can be fixed into the rear wall girt. See detail.
• To stabilise the structure secure two wall sheets
as shown. Make sure that each wall sheet (286)
overhangs the slab by 30mm and is 80mm past the
top of the uprights.
• Fixings used for wall sheeting are hex head tek
screws without neoprene washers (FAST035).
Positioned in-line with the girts at every second
sheet pan.
• The wall sheeting should poke out past the
back frame 16.5mm to connect into the rear wall
sheeting later. See page 21 for greater detail.
• Use a spirit level to check that the framing is 100%
vertical. Use a tape to measure and check that the
diagonal dimensions across the framework are
equal.

Frame Construction
4. Remaining Internal Frame and Front Frame.
• Secure the remaining internal frame in the same
manner as before. Checking everything is straight
and square as you go.
• Connecting the side wall girts
to front frame requires the
tabs be bent at a right angle
just like we did before with
the rear frame.
5. Fit Strapping
• Using a tape measure the roof diagonal dimension
to make sure that the frame is exactly square.
• Fit the strapping (FAST040) diagonally over the
top of the frames from corner-to-corner, pulling
tightly and securing with three screws at every
point that the strapping crosses the internal
frames.
• Repeat this procedure for
the rear frame

8 Required.
• Use the C0200 frame section and box, join two
C2960 sections together. This is all that is required
for six of the eight purlins.
• The remaining two purlins must also have:
*C0100 section at either end.
*C0200 section at the Internal Frames.
• These two purlins are to be positioned at the wall
directly above the frame uprights, as shown on the
right.
• These two outer-most purlins are to be spaced
15mm in from the edge of the roof chords so the
wall sheeting can be fixed top the purlin.
• Using a string line mark the top of the frames
referencing the dimensions below.

Secure Roof Purlins
• Secure purlins to the framework as shown with one
roof purlin bracket (BKT11) at each connection
point.
• Front and Rear frames use 8x tek screws per
connection.
• Internal frames use 12x tek screws per connection.

Fly Bracing
• Fly braces are struts that attach both sides of the
internal frame up to the centre-most purlins.
• The four fly-braces, ZACO124A, need to have one
end cut.
• Bend the tab as shown
• The braces are positioned at 45 degrees from the
roof purlin to the underside of each frame and
fixed with tek screws.
