BEFORE YOU START, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
• When selecting a site, choose an area that is firm and level yet allows drainage away from the site.
• Although this shed when installed according to instructions, is designed to withstand greater wind loads than
other conventional sheds, do not install it in areas subject to high winds or erect on a windy day. Any
building left partially constructed may be seriously damaged if left in this state. It is your responsibility to safely
and securely anchor the shed, having regard to the windiest conditions in the area. The shed could possibly blow
away causing damage and possible injury if not properly attached to the ground foundation.
• Do not backfill against the walls or base of the shed as this will cause corrosion and void the warranty.
• The prevention of condensation inside the shed will assist in keeping the contents dry as well as minimising any
possible corrosion of the shed itself, the following hints may prove useful.
There is always dampness in soil, and this may rise into the shed if there is no barrier. A heavy duty polythene
sheet may be placed under the concrete slab to prevent evaporation into the shed, (illustrated in Step A).
Seal the space between the bottom frame and the concrete slab with a mastic (except at the front corners) which
does not completely dry out. The front corners are not sealed to enable drainage out of the ends of the front base
rail.
If condensation still presents a problem, panels of polystyrene (5cm thick) may be glued to the interior of the roof
between the supports. Use a glue that is resistant to moisture and temperature. This has the further advantage
of keeping your shed cooler on hot summer days.
• Check the labels on the packs to ensure you have the model shed you ordered and the correct number of
packs.
• You will need a few tools, and some extra equipment which may prove useful to make assembly faster and
easier (these are indicated in the section HOW TO READ THIS MANUAL). All holes for screws are predrilled. A
power screw driver or cordless drill equipped with a magnetic Philips tip will hasten assembly. Take care not to
over-tighten self-tapping screws.
• Sort, separate and identify all parts and hardware before construction. Check against the illustrations shown at
the top of each step illustrated in this manual. Pieces are labelled except for panels, check with the labelling on
the diagrams shown. Not all drawings are to scale since some have been enlarged to enable easier viewing in
comparison to other pieces.
• Since this manual is used to instruct installation of varying sizes of shed, Labelling of Parts in the diagrams has
been simplified as follows:
All the frame work components have the same system of part numbers but indicate different lengths, these part
numbers are stamped into the component.
e.g. Roof Beams 9 foot length = P9, 7 foot length = P7, 5 foot length = P5, 3 foot length = P3
Therefore, in the diagrams the Roof Beam is labelled P.
e.g. Rear Midwall Brace 10 foot length = G1A, 6 foot length = G6A
Therefore, in the diagrams the Rear Midwall Brace is labelled G.A.
• Most helpful of all, get a friend or family member to help you.
When you first unpack your shed, construction may look complicated ... but it really isn’t. Simply follow the
illustrated instructions and your Garden Shed will be erected quickly and accurately.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
STEP A - FOUNDATION
A solid foundation is required. Construct a level concrete slab, reinforced with 5mm diameter x 200mm
grid wire mesh. Allow 7 days minimum curing time before erecting your shed. You may select other
methods of constructing a solid base using paving slabs or timber if desired, but please ensure it is
level and provides secure anchorage.
1 BASE RAILS
Two corner gussets (X20) are used to attach the base rails in the rear corners only. Ensure that the base is
square.
2 CORNER PANELS
Bend the corner panels carefully to 90° angle. Ensure that the longer side of the panel is pointing along the
width (i.e. front / back) side of your shed.
3 TOP RAILS / DOOR GLIDES
Ensure wheels face inside of shed.
4 MIDWALL BRACES
Use corner gussets (X20) on the back corners only.
5 WALL PANELS
Assemble all panels shown. No wall panels are used on the front of the shed (door side).
6 GABLES
Assemble the roof beam brackets (X15A for all 10' Models), onto the gables in the positions and direction
shown.
7 ROOFBEAMS
Position 2 roof beam sections 'P' back to back and connect. Ensure roof panel holes are parallel.
8 ROOF END PANELS
Fasten the roof end panels to the gables. Then fasten them to the roof beam using the self tapping screws
and plastic washers. Fasten in order shown in diagram.
9 ROOF PANELS
Fasten the roof panels ensuring that you work down along one side of the roof. Then, starting at the other
side, fix one roof panel, followed by a ridge capping, continuing until the roof is complete. Be sure to use the
plastic washers.
10 ROOF EDGE TRIM AND ACCESSORIES
Connect the roof accessories to cover sharp edges.
11 ANCHORING
Your shed must be anchored down. Ensure that your shed is square. Using a masonry drill bit (6.5mm
diameter), drill through the holes provided in the base rails. Anchor your shed using 6.5mm diameter x 40mm
long dyna bolts. Before fixing doors.
NOTE: These bolts are not supplied with the hardware kit.
12 DOORS
Both the door panels are identical - it is the assembly that makes them left and right handed. Lay the doors
on the ground so that the handle position holes are facing each other (i.e. at the centre, as they would be
when assembled). Note that the ribbing on the doors faces towards the inside of the shed (i.e. they are the
opposite of the wall panels). Use the three holes on the door glides to adjust the door alignment.
