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

BUILDING YOUR SHED
• The basic task is to join the sheets together to
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).

centre ribs only. Attach the 1770mm 'U' channels Jto the door sheet Athrough the
top and bottom channels Lat the four corners.
Attach the door plate Oin 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 Papprox 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 and fit the door
bracing from the bottom corner to the opposite centre to the top corner (step 2 below).
Perform the same (but mirror image) for 2nd door. Attach 1770mm 'Z' door jamb
to 2nd door.
STEP 2 HANGING THE DOOR
Attach the first 'Z' door jamb Nto the 715mm sheet Bon the rib with the narrow pan.

STEP 3 FRONT WALL
Lay down the doors with the sheets attached. Cap the sheets with the 3000mm
channels F. Use the door spacers Kto make sure the door fits the gap (they sit
on top of the 'Z' door jambs Nsee diagram 1).
Drill and fix (rivet or screw) 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 Pto the door strap on the outside of the door using wide
flange rivets or screws.
Channels will come short
of the ends of the sheeting by
10-15mm on all panels.

GALVO TIP
To hinge the door of your shed on
the opposite side, simply put the
top channel on the bottom and
the bottom channel on the top.
Put the padbolt on the door
before erecting the panels.
It will stop your garage door
swinging around!
Fix through the top and bottom of the channels into the door
jamb and spacer. The door jamb goes on inside of the channel.

DIAGRAM 1
STEP 4 BACK WALL
Join the 4 sheets Ctogether with 2 fixings through the overlapping ribs, making
sure the ends of the sheets are flush. Cap the sheeting with the 3000mm
'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 sheets Dtogether, same as the back. Cap the sheeting with the 3000mm
'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 Mon 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.
Fit the ridge beam Rto 1 roof panel only.
Fix through the ends and up through the
internal flange on the underside.
GALVO TIP
Put extra fixings in for
high wind areas, particularly
on the underside.
YOU WILL NEED
8 x 1600mm x 780mm sheets
4 x 3000mm 'U' channels

CHANNELS
Channels will end 15-20mm
short at tops of end walls
and 10-15mm at bottoms.
STEP 6 END WALLS
Join 3 Esheets together to create a gable end wall as shown. Make a cut in the
centre (1145mm) of the 2290mm top channel Iand cap the three Esheets. Cap
the bottom of the sheets with an H2255mm channel. Rivet at corners only for
now. Slip Rgable plate under channel at the top and rivet to sheeting at the *.
Rivet the channels at every 2nd rib and thru gable plate into sheeting ribs.
Place 3 rivets up underneath through channel into pan of 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.
DIAGRAM 2
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.
BUILDING YOUR SHED
The basic task is to join the sheets
together to 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, 3 and 4).
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!
