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

Attach the 780mm 'U' channels J to the top and bottom of the door sheet
A at the centre ribs only. Attach the 1920mm 'U' channels H to the door
sheet A through the top and bottom channels J at the four corners. Attach

'U' channels and fixing it to the sheet ribs and the side 'U' channels. Attach the
hinges N approx 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).
STEP 2 HANGING THE DOOR
Attach the first 'Z' door jamb Lto the 740mm sheet Bon the rib with the
narrow pan. Attach the other 'Z' door jamb to the 740mm sheet B. Lay the
premade door face down on the 740mm 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

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).

To hinge the door on the opposite
side, simply put the top channel

the top.
Put the padbolt on the door before
erecting the panels. It will stop the

YOU WILL NEED
3 x 1770 x 780mm sheets
2 x 2255mm U channels
2 x 1770mm L flashings
STEP 4 BACK WALL
Join the three sheets Ctogether with 2 fixings through the overlapping
ribs, making sure the ends of the sheets are flush. Cap the sheeting with the
2255mm '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
2255mm '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 Kon 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. Five fixings each 'L' flashing.

YOU WILL NEED

YOU WILL NEED
2 x 'Z' Door braces

STEP 6 END WALLS
Cap the sloping sheets Ewith the 'U' channels G.
Fix the channels through the end ribs and every second rib in between. Make sure
you put at least two fixings up through the underside of the channel into the pan of
the sheet. Repeat for other side wall with opposite slope.
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.

Use the handle end of a hammer in the inside of
the corner, but beware of drilling holes on the
end of your hammer!
NUMBER 8 TIP
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 SHEDS 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.
•Visit your local Mitre 10 store for floor options
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).
