Note: For sheds being positioned on a Purpose Built Floor, shorten Studs
by 30mm now (Refer to Floor Section).
Step 1: Select one End Base Plate 0.685m (Green), one End Top Plate
0.685m (Red) and two Studs (Yellow). Lay out on flat surface and nail
together using two 75mm nails per join (fig. 1). Repeat with the other
end frame.
Step 2: Select Back and Front Base Plates 1.810m (Green), Front Top Plate
1.810m (Red) and Back Top Plate (70x45mm). With one End Frame
lying on the ground, nail plates to frame, two 75mm nails per join.
Ensure Green joins to Green and Red joins to Red. See (fig. 2) for
nailing detail on Top Back Plate (70x45mm).
Step 3: Position remaining End Frame on top of plates. While someone sup-
ports frame, nail in place using two 75mm nails per join.
Step 4: Carefully roll frame over onto its base. Nail on Back and End Wall
Nogs .882m above the top of the Bottom plate. If fitting a Duratuf
Floor, fit Floor Joists now. Evenly space joists and nail in place using
three 75mm nails per end. Nail Front wall Studs (Yellow) using Front
Wall Nogs to get correct position, Nail remaining Front Wall Nogs in

To Avoid 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 ink to mark steel.
Step 1: Door Jambs: Position left hand Door Jamb Flashing at
correct measurement from left (cladding detail) and nail
flush with top of Top Plate using a 30mm clout. Do not fit
50mm nails at this stage. Pre-drill holes to make nailing
easier (fig. 1).
Position Door Jamb Flashing and nail at the bottom. Posi-
tion right hand Door Jamb Flashing 903mm from left
hand Door Jamb Flashing (cladding detail) and nail in
place.

Sheets are positioned exactly as shown in
the cladding detail diagram on the previous
page.
Position Corner Wall Sheets. Check that the
Lip is on the correct side of the sheet. While
holding Corner Wall Sheet flush with the top
of the Top Plate, nail to plate using only one
30mm clout top and bottom. (Note: Wall
Sheets at the back are positioned 47mm
down from top of Top Plate.)
Step 5: Drill a hole through Door Jamb Flashings
and Wall Sheets top and bottom. Nail with
50mm nails (fig. 1).
Nail left hand Door Jamb Flashing to Stud
using three 30mm Clouts at equal spacings
(fig. 1). Beside each 30mm Clout, rivet
Door Jamb Flashing to Rib. Repeat with
right hand Door Jamb Flashing.
Step 3: Position remaining Wall Sheet. Ensure it
overlaps correctly then rivet to Corner Wall
Sheets, one rivet top and bottom on each
overlap
Step 4: Nail Wall Sheets to Plates, two 30mm Clouts per pan top and bottom.
Nail Wall Sheets to Wall Nogs, one clout per pan.

TUF LOCKER ROOF
fig. 1
Step 1: Note: Condensation can form on the under side of shed roof. If building paper is required, fit now. Build-
ing paper will need to be supported by netting or roofing twine.
Standard Roof: Position Roof Sheets as shown in fig 1. Make sure sheet joins at the back are flush. Rivet
sheet joins, one rivet 200mm back from edge front and back.
Roof with Clear Panel: Handle Clear Panel with care. The Clear Panel will crack if not fitted correctly
 Riveting: Pre-drill 3.3mm hole through Clear Panel and steel.
 Nailing: Pre-drill a 6mm hole through Clear Panel. Hammer in nails with caution.
Position Roof Sheets as shown in fig.1. When fitting Clear Panel ensure it OVERLAPS Roof Sheets. Rivet sheet
joins, one rivet 200mm from edge front and back. When riveting Clear Panel to Roof Sheets use sealed rivet with
steel washer (fig. 2).
Step 3: Line up ribs on the roof with ribs on the
walls. While someone holds the Front Plate
straight, nail the roof to Top Plate using
one 40mm Weatherseal nail beside each
rib. Repeat at the back.

Step 4: Fit Roof Flashing and Ridge Cap Flashing as
shown. When positioned correctly rivet
through Roof Flashing into Roof Sheet joins.
Rivet Ridge Cap Flashing to Roof Sheets and
back Wall Sheets, one rivet every second rib.
Step 2: Position Roof Sheets. Ensure they do not pro-
trude past the ribs on the back wall. The front
overhang will measure approximately 120mm.

second rib. Repeat at other end.

holding in position fit one rivet to bottom hinge.
Step 3:
Close door and check it fits correctly. If not, drill
out rivets and make necessary adjustments. Fit
remaining rivets to all three hinges.

urements are equal and shed is level before fitting
door.

TUF LOCKER FLOOR (Optional)
PURPOSE BUILT FLOOR
Step 1: Select the two Floor Boards which have
checked out corners. Position at front and
back of the shed so they fit around Studs.
For sheds being placed on a purpose built floor, we
recommend that the studs are shortened by 30mm.
The Wall Sheets will then protrude 20mm below the
Base Plate. This will stop water flowing in between
the Base Plate and Floor.
If you choose this option, the Floor should be made
15mm smaller than Base Size.
Note: Although it is not essential, fitting Damp
Proof Course in between the Base Plate and
the Floor will give added protection against
moisture.
i.e. CONCRETE / PLYWOOD
Step 2: Lay out remaining Floor Boards. Nail in
each Floor Board, two 50mm nails each
end and two into each Floor Joist.
