1. Level ground to ensure appropriate drainage away from the building.
A sand bed has to be put in place before the construction of the
foundation. The concrete slab should be 4 inches (10 cm) thick and
must be free of bumps and completely level.
2. Assemble the interior profiles on ground, one side at a time. The
profiles slide easily one into the other. Attach them together with
aluminum angles to the base and the top of each wall. Integrate the
door and window frames into the front side.
3. Erect the four walls on the top of the concrete slab and attach the
aluminum angles together.
4. On the outside of the shelter, put in place the reinforcing steel bars
according to the structural drawing. To complete the framework, install
the flat profiles.
5. The walls are ready to receive the concrete with a pump or directly with
a bucket.
6. Install a top plate on the upper side of the wall. Pass the reinforcing
steel bars through the top plate and bend them in the roof. A concrete
mortar or grout must assure proper level and sturdy support of the top
plate.
7. Place a ridge beam in the center of the roof and two secondary
beams at each side to support the roof profiles.
8. Screw the roof profiles to the ridge steel beam and to the wall top
plate.
9. Integrate the reinforcing steel bars into the roof profiles and attach
them to the bent bars coming from the walls to make a monolithic
concrete building.
10. To support the concrete, attach a wall plate to the roof profiles at the
lower side of the roof. The concrete will be poured with a bucket into
the profiles, four sections at a time. Immediately after, slide
the flat profiles in place, also four at a time.
11. Install an aluminum ridge capping on the top of the roof.
12. Put the door and window in place and adjust them.
13. Clean the surface by using water and a brush.
