IMPORTANT!
• Remove the swarf (drill filings) from the panels as you assemble them.
• All components are cut to length. Do not cut any parts unless instructed.
• Fixings through the inside of the channels into the sheeting are just as important as
fixings from the outside.
RIBS AND PANS
• Generally most fixings are spaced at 300mm apart.
• Keep the fixings in the pans as close to the ribs as possible for added strength.
• Ribs will always protrude to the outside of the shed.
• Extra internal fixings are strongly recommended in high wind areas. PAN

form your panels, and fix channels to the top
and bottom of these panels. They will then join
together to form your shed (diagram 1, 2, and 3).

Attach the 780mm 'U' channels Jto the top and bottom of the door sheet
Aat the centre ribs only. Attach the 1920mm 'U' channels Hto the door sheet A
through the top and bottom channels Jat the four corners. Attach the door plate M
in the centre of the door sheet, slipping it under the two side 'U' channels and fixing it to
the sheet ribs and the side 'U' channels. Attach the hinges Napprox 150mm from the
top and bottom of the door through the 'U' channels. The fixings should be centred on the
side 'U' channels.
Turn the door over and fix the four corners through all the 'U' channels (step 2 below).
Fit the door bracing from the bottom corner to the opposite centre to the top corner
(see step 7 on page 6).
STEP 2 HANGING THE DOOR
Attach the first 'Z' door jamb Lto the 715mm sheet Bon the rib with the narrow
pan. Lay the premade door face down on the 715mm sheet Bapprox 30mm up from
the bottom and down from the top. Check the door is centralised on the sheet (top and
bottom). Fix the hinges through the side of the 'Z' door jamb Lraising the door about
4mm off the 'Z' door jamb.

Lay out the door with the sheet attached and the corner door jamb with the 'U' channel
attached (as shown below). Cap the sheets with the 1515mm channels F. Use the door
spacers Fto make sure the door fits the gap (they sit on top of the 'Z' door jambs L).
Drill and fix the channels at every second rib down through the top.
Attach the door spacers at each end through the 'Z' door jambs and channels. Put three
fixings underneath through the channels into the sheeting pan and the top and bottom of
the door spacers and 'Z' door jambs (see diagram 1).
Fit the padbolt to the door strap on the outside of the door using wide flange
fixings or screws.

Channels will come short
of the ends of the sheeting by
10-15mm on all panels.

CHANNELS
The higher side of the channel goes to the
inside of the shed. It is very important to
include the fixings on the underside of all
the channels as they are structural (except
roof channels).
SPACERCHANNEL
Fix through the top and bottom of the channels into the door
jamb and spacer. The door jamb goes on inside of the channel.

GALVO TIP
To hinge the door on the opposite
side, simply put the top channel
on the bottom and the bottom on
the top.
Put the padbolt on the door
before erecting the panels. It will
stop the door swinging around!

DIAGRAM 1
STEP 4 BACK WALL
Join the two sheets C together with 2 fixings through the overlapping
ribs, making sure the ends of the sheets are flush. Cap the sheeting with
the 1515mm 'U' channels F .
Fix the channels through the end ribs and every second rib in between.
Make sure you put at least one fixing per sheet up through the underside
of the channel into the pan of the sheet.
STEP 5 ROOF
Join the two sheets D together, same as the back. Cap the sheeting with the 1515mm 'U'
channels F . Fix the channels at every second rib but not the corners at this stage.
Place the short flange of the first 'L' flashing K on top of the rib at one end.
Make sure the ends are flush with the sheeting (diagram 1) and put
one fixing in the centre to hold the 'L' flashing. Fix the corners
through the channels and one more between the corner and
the centre fixing. Perform the same at the other end.
Use five fixings in each 'L' flashing.
GALVO TIP
Put extra fixings in for
high wind areas, particularly
on the underside.

STEP 6 END WALLS
Cap 1 sheet Ewith G1485mm channels.
Fix the channels at the corners and every 2nd rib in between.
Make sure you put at least two fixings up through the underside
of the channel into the pan of the sheet.
Perform the same again for the other end.
STEP 7 DOOR BRACES
The door braces can be fitted now or after you have assembled your shed.
Tuck one end of the 'Z' between the bottom channel of the inside of the
door and the sheet. Do the same at the top, overlapping in the centre
behind the padbolt.
If you have a locking 'T' handle you will have to run the 'Z's the opposite
way to the diagram.
Rivet the 'Z's at the ends, and in the centre of the channel it is tucked
under, and through the overlap in the centre. Two or three more fixings will
be required through the door sheeting into the 'Z', but they will need to be
riveted through from the outside of the door for a neater appearance.
You may need to cut or bend the flange at the bottom and the top of the
'Z' if it catches on the door jamb when opening or closing (diagram 1).

STEP 8 INSTALLATION
SIDE WALL ASSEMBLY
• Stand up the back wall and as your helping hand is holding it up, bring the left end wall
in to meet it at the left corner (diagram 1) overlapping the corners (diagram 2). Drill and fix
at approximately 100mm down from the top and up from the bottom, drilling and fixing
from the outside.
• Bring the right end wall into the right back corner and perform the same again
checking to make sure the walls are sitting flat at the bottom.
• Bring the front wall into place and join the front corners to the end walls, same as
the back (diagram 3).
• Finish joining the corners by fixing at approximately 200-300mm apart. You will find it
easier to drill these corners if they are supported on the inside (see tip).
FIXING THE ROOF
• With a person at each end of the roof, lift it over the top of your upright walls and
lower down on top with an overhang that looks best to you (diagram 4). At the left end fix
through the 'L' flashing into the top channel of the left end wall. Measure the overhang at
the back and fix the right end 'L' to the right end wall with the same overhang as the left
end. If it is difficult to get the same overhang at each end, this
will be caused by an unlevel site or walls that are not square. Adjust accordingly.
Fix the 'L's at 300mm apart.
• Using the ladder and the tape measure, fix down through the top of the roof,
through the pan into the top channel of the front and the back walls (10mm more
than the overhang). Fix beside every second rib. You will not need to worry about
these fixings leaking as any water seeping through these fixings will end up on the outside
of the walls.
FIT THE DOOR BRACES AND INSTALL SHED
• Fit the door braces, if not already done so. Check that all filings/swarf is removed.
• Important: Fix your shed down to its foundations. If your foundations are unlevel or bowed,
you will have problems with your padbolt and door levels. This can be fixed by slipping
a spade under either door jamb and lifting. You will soon get a feel for which side needs
propping up.
IMPORTANT
• Do not attempt to assemble panels in rain or windy conditions.
• Make sure your foundations are squared and level before erecting panels.
• It is easier to remove all swarf (filings) before you stand your walls up.
• Complete all panels before erecting your shed.
• Keep a firm grip on panels when handling. If they slip they will cause damage.
• Always wear non-slip gloves, protective footwear and eyewear.
YOUR SHED'S FLOOR
• It is essential that every shed has a floor, but the only way to make sure
your shed is there to stay on windy sites is with a recessed concrete floor.
GALVO TIP
Use the handle end of a hammer in the inside of
the corner, but beware of drilling holes on the
end of your hammer!
