Note: If fitting a window in the Back Wall, there will be no centre stud on that side. Instead nail in a full length Nog (3.290) using
Window Studs (.883) to get correct height. Position one Window Stud centrally beneath the Nog and nail in place. Further
window studs and Nogs are fitted after the cladding is on.
Note: For sheds with the Raised Floor Modification option the studs will be 1.780m long to allow the Wall Sheets to pro-
trude 20mm below the Bottom Plate. Refer to Raised Floor Modification section (Page 15).

KL3 WALL CLADDING
TO AVIOD CORROSION:
 Where at all possible try not to trap metal filings between two sheets. Remove all metal filings before riveting.
 Carbon in pencils reacts with the Zinc/Aluminium coating on steel. Use either crayon or ink to mark steel.
TERMS EXPLANATION
 To Tack: To Tack on a wall sheet means to use minimum nails hammered partly in to hold Wall Sheets in position. Should
a Wall Sheet need to be re-positioned, the nails can easily be prized out.
 If a window is required, identify Wall Sheet(s) with window hole pre-cut. Lean up Wall Sheets where window(s) are to be located.

KL3 ROOF
Note: Condensation can form on the under side of shed roof. If building paper is required, fit now. Building paper
will need to be supported by netting or roofing twine.
Roof with Clear Panel: Handle Clear Panel with care. The Clear Panel will crack if not fitted correctly.
Riveting: Pre-drill 3.5mm hole through Clear Panel and Steel. Enlarge hole in Clear Panel with drill to allow
for expansion and contraction.
Nialing: Pre-drill a 6mm hole through the Clear panel. Hammer in nails with caution.
Step 1: Check that the diagonal measurements of the shed are the same. If building on unlevel ground it may be
necessary to temporarily brace the shed with pieces of timber from the packaging.
Step 3: Position roof so that the front overhang
measures 140mm. Line up Ribs on the
Roof Sheets with Ribs on the Wall
Sheets. Ensure plates are straight then
nail roof to plates using one weatherseal
nail beside each Rib front and back.
Step 2: Position first Roof Sheet on the right
hand side of the shed with the LIP on
the left hand side. Position the next
Roof Sheet. Ensure it overlaps correctly
(when fitting a Clear Roof Panel, ensure
it OVERLAPS Roof Sheets). Rivet sheet
joins 500mm from edge, front and back.
Position and rivet remaining sheets.
