washers from the underside of the top rail of the sidewall up and into the uprights on the gable ends.
The gable end bottom shiplap board over sails the
bottom timber and when in position the over sail
shiplap needs to be nailed to the side panel. Using the

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Fix roof purlins to top of support rail, each purlin sits above the indicated pencil mark - fix from below using 100mm screws - also install
additional screws from side or top of purlin through the top rail of the gable end to stop any twisting.
The 2 purlins which fit into the metal hangers, front & back, are slightly smaller in depth to the standard purlins (these will have one sawn cut
face on the 45mm face) DO NOT USE A STANDARD DEPTH PURLIN IN THE HANGERS the correct purlin will sit flush with the top of the gable
end top plate while a standard purlin will sit above the gable end top plate and is an incorrect fit - must be flush! The 2 purlins that fit on either
side of the ridgeline have an add-on to help to fit the ridge cap. The add-ons must sit facing the ridgeline.
Fix the purlins into the hangers using the 40mm galvanised nails provided.
Fit the front purlin centre support - screw through face of
front purlin into centre support using 2 x 5x100mm screws.
Screw either side of the centre support into the front wall
timber plate - dovetail screws in.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Fit the first full-length roof sheets starting with the back, you should start from either the left or right-hand side so that the prevailing wind
direction blows over an over lap and not into an overlap (note 10ft deep shelters only need one full sheet to reach from eave to Apex). Ensure
the edge of the first sheet fits tight into the bargeboard on the gable end and ensure the overlap to back of building is adequate for water run-
off. Make sure you leave a 20mm gap back from the ridgeline, this gap will be covered by the ridge cap. Continue fitting the back run of sheets.
For 12ft deep shelters, fit the half sheet needed directly above the bottom sheet noting a good cover of overlap and 20mm gap at ridgeline.
You should use 20 x roof nails per sheet. Do not put a nail where the next sheet overlaps until the next sheet is fitted (allow min. one roll
overlap). Do not nail the top of the sheet at the first Apex purlin as this will be fixed when the ridge cap is fitted. You may need to stretch
sheets to fit the width of your shelter exactly. Repeat the above for the front section of the roof. Install ridge caps - nail through the bottom of
ridge cap flat section and sheet beneath into the top purlins either side of the Apex - thus fixing the top of the sheet previously left unfixed -
allow 70-100mm overlap between ridges, you should fix the ridge cap on every other top roll of the sheet below. ONLY FIX THROUGH THE TOP
OF A ROLL - not in the gutter - ONLY BANG IN ENOUGH TO GIVE A TIGHT FIT OF THE NAIL CAP TO THE SHEET, OR YOU WILL DISTORT THE
SHEET PROFILE.
PLEASE NOTE - 10ft
deep shelters only use a
full sheet - the half
sheet shown in the
picture is not required -
the half sheet is only
used on the 12ft deep
shelter.
On 10ft deep Apex
shelters, a full sheet
covers the roof from
Apex to eaves.

Completed shelter
PLEASE FIX YOUR SHELTER DOWN TO STOP YOUR SHELTER BLOWING OVER IN HIGH WINDS.
We suggest bolting down to a concrete slab or using fence posts driven into the ground a minimum of 2ft on all corners
and bolted to the shelter. The more fence posts you drive in and fix to the shelter, the more secure your shelter will be in
high winds.
