theslabshouldbeatleast50mmabovethegroundlinetoavoidwaterrunningintoyourshed.
• Setuptimberboxingto2380mmx1980mm(insidemeasurementoftheboxing)This is 20mm
smaller than the external measurement of the shed framewhichallowsa10mmgapbetween

If your shed has a concrete slab oor, position the frame onto the base. Note: if the shed oor is against a house or fence, you can
position the shed after it has been built (but before you install the roller door).
Please note that the design of the shed means that the wall cladding protrudes below the bottom of timber base plate. So that you
are able to build the shed properly you will need to temporarily screw some timber blocks under the base plate to lift it up so that the
wall cladding clears the ground while you build the shed. These will be removed when the shed is ready to position.
• Ensurethatthebottomwallframesarerunningstraightandthatthestudseithersideofthedoorareintherightplace.

overlap. Ensure that this measurment is the same right around the shed.

water owing between the base plate and oor.

• Whereatallpossibletrynottotrapmetallingsbetweentwo
sheets.Removeallmetallingsbeforeriveting.
• CarboninpencilsreactswiththeZinc/Aluminiumcoatingonsteel.
Use an ink pen to mark the steel as required.

WALL CLADDING - BACK & ENDS
Note-Whenattachingwallcladding,alwaysensurethatthetopsheetisushwiththetopofthetop
timberframingplateandthattheendsofthecladdingsheetsareush and parallel with studs.
Thiswillensurethatwallpanelsaresquare.Alwaysscrewwallsheetsthroughthetrough(innerrib
closesttotheframe)oftheprole.
TOP WALL SHEET
• Takea2400mmlengthrearwallsheetandholditinpositionatthetopofthebackwall.Itmustbe
ushwiththetopoftoptimberplateandbothendsmustbeushwiththeoutsideofthestudsat
either end. (Fig. 1)
• Using1x25mmtekscrew,attachoneendofthesheettotheframeatthetoplefthandcornerof
the sheet (Fig.1)(a).Placethescrewapprox25mminfromendofthesheet(thecornerashing
will cover the screws).
• Repeatatthetopofthesheetattheotherendmakingsurethatthecladdingisushwiththetopof
the top plate. (Fig. 1) (b)
NOTE: The middle sheet will need to lap UNDER the top sheet, so don’t screw right at the
bottom of the sheet yet! The top sheet will nish 850mm below the top of the framing and the
second sheet nisheds 1617mm down (see Wall Cladding Fixing Pattern on the previous page.
• Toxthebottomofthesheet,makeamarkoneachcornerstud848mmdownfromthetopofthe
framing.(thisiswherethesheetwillend).Aligntheedgeofthecladdingandthecornerstud.This
ensuresthebackwalloftheshedissquare.Makesurethatthebottomofthecladdingisonthe
848mmmarkandplace1x25mmtekscrew2ribsupfromthebottomofthesheet(Fig. 3)(d). This
will let the next sheet sheet slide underneath.
MIDDLE & LOWER WALL SHEETS
• Positionthe2ndsheetunderneaththerstsheetsothatitisoverlappedcorrectly(Fig. 3). Asper
therstsheet,startinthetoplefthandcorner,placeascrewintheoverlapofthe2sheets(Fig. 3)
(e) and (Fig. 2)(f).
• Repeatatthetopattheotherend.Onceagainsquaretheframingupwiththecladdingandscrew
thebottomofthesheetusingthesameprocessasthetopsheet(Fig.2).Repeatwiththebottom
wallsheet(Fig.4)Bottomwallsheetshouldnishapprox30mmbelowbottomofbaseplate.
• Using25mmtekscrewsinthemiddleofthesheet,screwthethreewallsheetso󰀨aspertheplan
on the previous page

 -3x25mmTekScrewsineachstudofthebottomsheet.
Repeat the above steps with each side wall until you have nished the back and two end walls.
--IMPORTANT -- Make sure you align the side wall corrugate sheets with the back wall sheets
so that the height of the ribs line up.

FIXING WALL CLADDING - FRONT
OVERDOOR CLADDING SHEET
Fittingthetopcladdingsheetonthefrontwallwillbealoteasierwith2peopleand2
ladders...
• Selectthe2400mmtopfrontwallsheet(thisisnotafullwidthsheet).Positionthesheet
makingsureitisushwiththetopofthefronttimberframingandushwiththecorner
studsatbothends.Fixwith1x25mmtekscrewateachend.
Fit the remaining screws once all of the front wall cladding
 hasbeenattached.
DOOR SIDE CLADDING - TOP SHEET
• Fitthewallsheetseachsideofdoorwayusingthesameprocessasbefore.Selecta
300mm cladding sheet and lap it underneath the overdoor sheet as per normal overlapping
standards.
 Fixwith2x25mmTekScrewsthroughtheoverlap.
• Place2xmore25mmTekscrews2ribsupfromthebottomofthesheeteithersidesothe
next sheet down can lap underneath.
The front wall cladding is attached the same way as the other side walls, except that the bottom cladding sheets either side of the roller door will
overlap a lot more than the side and back walls. This will be explained in the step below “BOTTOM SHEET”.

DOOR SIDE CLADDING - MIDDLE SHEET
• Usinganother300mmdoorsidecladdingsheet,lapitunderneaththesheetaboveaspernormalandplace2x25mmTekscrewsintotheoverlapasnormal.
NOTE: do not place any screws in the bottom of this sheet at this stage!
DOOR SIDE CLADDING - BOTTOM SHEET
NOTE: Because of the Overdoor Cladding Sheet at the top of the front wall, the bottom sheet will lap up under the middle sheet by about 5 ribs.
Providing that the sheets have been positioned correctly, the steel prole will match the side walls.
• Takeanother300mmfrontwallcladdingsheetandslideitupunderthemiddlesheetuntilthebottomofthesheetisapprox30mmbelowthebottomofthe

ATTACHING THE FLASHINGS
Now it is time to nish the corners by tting the Corner Flashings. PLEASE
NOTE: Do NOT screw tek screws too tightly into the corner and door side
ashings as they will pull in and leave a dent.

FITTING THE SPOUTING
This shed comes with a built in spouting and downpipe system so that you can
easily manage the water runo󰀨.
CUTTING THE DROPPER HOLE
• Preparationforttingtheendcaps,youwillneedtocutouttheholeforthe
