Install the second side panel by repeating the same
process as Step 9.
Note: Do not fit the last corner support yet.
Install the front panel by sliding into position and
slotting it into the corner support. Don’t forget, the
doors are secured for transit so someone will need to be
working inside the unit. Complete assembly by affixing
the front panel to the corner support using x3 13mm
bolts, washers and captive nuts. Then affix the front
panel to the floor chassis using x4 19mm bolts, washers
and captive nuts.

Now install the remaining corner support using x3
13mm bolts, washers and captive nuts per panel. This
will need to be secured from inside the unit.
TOP TIP!
Once the 4 panels are assembled and secure, insert
the cylinder locks and turn to release the door.
Fit the x2 cylinder locks so that the key apertures face
outside.
Use x1 screw and nut per lock to affix to door (using the
pre-drilled holes).
Install the door handles by aligning them with the pre-
drilled holes. Use x2 screws, washers and nuts.
Install the roof by lifting it in place. It will naturally slot
in position over the wall panels and should be secured
by using x4 13mm bolts, washers and nuts.
