Warranty requirements
The following maintenance process needs to be adhered to, to qualify for the steel warranty of your shed:
• Using water and soft nylon brush wash all surfaces annually.
• Within 2km of coast, wash every 3 months as above. After a storm, wash the cladding and the gutters
as soon as possible, to remove any highly corrosive salt deposits.
• Volcanic ash fallout: wash as soon as possible, removing fallout from roof and gutters.
• Do not allow manures, chemicals or other corrosive materials to have direct contact with cladding.
• Force majeure or other causes are beyond the control of Riverlea Group.
• All metal filings (swarf) must be removed immediately after assembly.
• Avoid contacting steel with sunscreen or pencil, as this could damage the steel cladding.

Only on the front wall, pre-drill 4 holes approximately 35mm from the outermost and innermost
studs through bottom plate and concrete base using hammer drill and 10mm masonry drill bit. Secure
4 “L” brackets to studs using two 25mm Tek Screws and to the bottom plate using M10 x 140 screw
bolts.
Pre-drill a hole within 50mm from one side of studs as shown, through timber and concrete base
using hammer drill and 12mm masonry drill bit (18 holes in total). Fasten timber frame to the base
through the holes using M12x135 through bolts.

1.8 DPC attachment to studs
If fitting optional building paper to walls, ensure diagonal measurements on each wall frame are
the same. Use packaging timber (or similar) as bracing and nail to inside of frame to temporarily
hold wall panel square.
Staple building paper to outside of frame and proceed with wall claddings. Once the cladding is
complete, remove timber bracing.
• Using ten 30mm clouts, attach DPC to each corner as shown. DPC should be level with top of top plate
and 20mm below bottom of bottom plate.
• Repeat above, attaching DPC to door studs with top of DPC level with underside of lintel.

2. Cladding attachment
External edges: use Tek Screws through every 2nd trough.
Internal edges: use 2 Tek Screws per sheet, per stud.
Top & bottom plate: use Tek screws at every stud.
25mm Tek Screw
Always fasten through
the trough of profile.
Ensure top sheet
overlaps bottom sheet.
Trough
Rib
• Top sheet must be flush with the top of the top plate.
• Ends of the corrugated sheets must be flush with outside of studs.
• Ensure metal filings have been removed from between sheets, and between sheets and
fasteners.
• Pre-drill cladding using 3.5mm drill bit for easy fastening.
