SENTRY WOODEN FLOOR
• The optional Sentry kitset wooden floor is precut and designed to
be fitted into the shed after the shed is assembled.
• Assemble shed as per instructions and fit floor last.
(see page 14 for details).
CONCRETE SLAB FOR RAISED BASE PLATE SHED
To build a raised concrete slab for your shed to sit on, we recom-
mend the following:
• The raised slab size should be 15mm smaller than the base
size of the shed and at least 30mm above ground line.
• The slab should be 80mm thick in the middle and 100mm
thick around the edges.
• The slab should be laid on a solid or compacted base.
• Plastic sheeting under slab will prevent moisture coming
through from underneath.
• During construction, you may raise the bottom timber
plate to allow the wall cladding to protrude 20mm below
the bottom plate. This will stop water flowing between
the bottom plate and the concrete floor.
See note on page 8.

RAISED BASE PLATE OPTION
(For sheds placed on a raised concrete floor)
No doubt by now you will have decided what sort of base you are putting down.
Please read the section that applies to your situation.
If you choose to pour a concrete base you will need to decide whether you wish to raise the base plate of your shed.
This allows the cladding to protrude below the surface of the concrete and ensures a water tight pad.
See concrete pad specifications below
By choosing this option you will need to make the pad to the specification below.

SELECT:
2 x 1.810 m Door Sheets (Narrow)
2 x 0.945 m Door Top/Bottom Flashings
2 x 1.810 m Door Side Flashings
3 x Hinges
1 x Padbolt Support Flashing
2 x 1.160 m Door Brace Flashings
54 x Rivets
STEP 1:
• Lay out 2 x door sheets on a flat surface
making sure narrow pans are on the outside.
• Rivet sheets together ensuring ends are flush
with each other.
STEP 2:
• Position door side flashings and door top and
bottom flashings and assemble door as shown,
ensuring narrow face of flashing is on the front
as per fig.1
• Drill and rivet as per diagram.
STEP 4:
• On the back of the door, place door braces in
position as shown in fig.4.
• Ensure that the top and bottom ends of the
braces are under the door flashings as shown
in fig.5 and opposite ends of the braces
overlap in the middle as shown in fig.6.
• Rivet door brace flashings onto back of door
as shown. Where possible, rivet from front of
door.
STEP 3:
• Attach hinges to door side flashing using rivets
provided. Ensure hinge is flush with back of

IMPORTANT—IF YOU CHOOSE TO RAISE YOUR TIMBER
BASE PLATE –READ THE FOLLOWING;
For sheds with Raised Base Plate option only (see page 6), deduct
30mm from measurement shown between Top and Bottom Plates on
all wall panels, so cladding protrudes 20mm below bottom plate.
STEP 1:
• Lay out 1 x Top plate and 1 x Bottom plate on a flat surface as shown
(corner cut-outs to face outwards). Measurements between Top and
Bottom plates are critical to ensure wall panels fit together.
STEP 2:
• Place 2 x 1.880 m wall sheets and 2 x 1.940 m wall sheets on top
of timber plates with bottom of sheets flush with each other.
• Rivet sheets together on overlaps as shown.
STEP 3:
• Nail wall sheets to the Top Plate at each end making
sure that the top corners of the sheets are flush with
the top of the Top Plate and that the sides of the wall
sheet overhang the Top Plate by approx 15mm as
shown.
• Check that the Top Plate is straight then nail the
Wall sheet to the Top Plate, 2 clouts per pan.
(see fig. 1).
Std Shed — Bottom Plate will protrude below
wall sheet by approximately 10mm.
Raised base plate shed — Wall sheet will protrude
below the Bottom Plate by 20mm.
STEP 4:
• Nail the wall sheets to the Bottom Plate at each end ensuring each side
of wall sheets overhangs the end of Bottom Plate by 15mm. Check that
the distance between the Top and Bottom Plates is correct. (As per
diagram in step 1)
• Check that the Bottom Plate is straight then nail the wall sheets to the
Bottom Plate, two clouts per pan (see fig. 1).

that the top of the sheets are flush with the top of the Top
Plate and that the sides of the wall sheets overhang the Top
Plate by 15mm as shown.
• Check that the Top Plate is straight then nail wall sheets to
the Top Plate, using two clouts per pan.
STEP 4:
• Nail the wall sheets to the Bottom Plate at each end,
ensuring that each side of the wall sheets overhangs the
Bottom Plate by 15mm and that the distance between
the Top and Bottom Plates is correct. (As shown)
