If your shed has a concrete slab oor, position the frame onto the base. Note: if the shed oor is against a house or fence, you can
position the shed after it has been built (but before you install the roller door).
Please note that the design of the shed means that the wall cladding protrudes below the bottom timber plate. So that you are able
to build the shed properly you will need to temporarily screw some timber blocks under the bottom plate to lift it up so that the wall
cladding clears the ground while you build the shed. These will be removed when the shed is ready to position.
• Ensurethatthebottomwallframesarerunningstraightandthatthestudseithersideofthedoorareintherightplace.
• Measurediagonallyfromoneinsidecornertotheother,notethemeasurementandthenmeauretheoppositediagonaldistance.These
measurementsmustbethesamefortheshedtobesquare.Adjustifnecessary.Theframewilloverhangtheoortoallowthecladdingto
overlap. Ensure that this measurment is the same right around the shed.
• Screwthetimberbottombaseplatetotheconcreteoorusing15x100mmdynaboltsthroughtheframeasshown.(Dynaboltsnotsupplied)

Waterproong is important to prevent leaks and keep the timber framing dry. Your shed has been supplied with a roll of DPC tape (Damp Proof
Course)
If your shed is positioned on a concrete or raised timber oor it is important that you install the DPC before attaching the cladding to prevent water
owing between the bottom plate and oor.

WALL CLADDING - BACK & ENDS
Note-Whenattachingwallcladding,alwaysensurethatthetopsheet
isushwiththetopofthetoptimberframingplateandthatthe
ends of the cladding sheets are ush and parallel with studs. This
willensurethatwallpanelsaresquare.Alwaysscrewwallsheets
throughthetrough(innerribclosesttotheframe)oftheprole.
TOP WALL SHEET
• Take a 5000mm length rear wall sheet and hold it in position at the
topofthebackwall.Itmustbeushwiththetopoftoptimberplate
andbothendsmustbeushwiththeoutsideofthestudsateither
end. (Fig. 1)
• Using1x25mmTekscrew,attachoneendofthesheettotheframeat
the top left hand corner of the sheet (Fig.1)(a). Place the screw approx
25mminfromendofthesheet(thecornerashingwillcoverthescrews).
• Repeat at the top of the sheet at the other end making sure that
thecladdingisushwiththetopofthetopplate.(Fig. 1) (b)
NOTE: The middle sheet will need to lap UNDER the top sheet,
so don’t screw right at the bottom of the sheet yet!The top sheet
will nish 850mm below the top of the framing and the second
sheet nisheds 1617mm down (see Wall Cladding Fixing Pattern
on the previous page
• Toxthebottomofthesheet,holdthetopsheetatagainstthe
framing and align the edge of the cladding and the corner stud.
Thisensuresthebackwalloftheshedissquare.Place1x25mm
Tekscrew2ribsupfromthebottomofthesheet(Fig. 3)(d). This
will let the next sheet slide underneath.
MIDDLE & LOWER WALL SHEETS
• Positionthe2ndsheetunderneaththerstsheetsothatitis
overlapped correctly (Fig. 3). Aspertherstsheet,startinthe
toplefthandcorner,placeascrewintheoverlapofthe2sheets
(Fig. 3)(e) and (Fig. 2)(f).
• Repeat at the top at the other end. Once again square the framing
upwiththecladdingandscrewthebottomofthesheetusingthe
sameprocessasthetopsheet(Fig.2)
• Repeatwiththebottomwallsheet(Fig.4)
• Using25mmtekscrewsinthemiddleofthesheet,screwthethree
wallsheetso󰀨aspertheplanonthepreviouspage.

 -3x25mmTekScrewsineachstudofthebottomsheet.
Repeat the above steps with each side wall until you have
nished the back and two end walls.
--IMPORTANT -- Make sure you align the side wall corrugate
sheets with the back wall so that the ribs line up.

FIXING WALL CLADDING - FRONT
OVERDOOR CLADDING SHEET
Fittingthetopcladdingsheetonthefrontwallwillbealoteasierwith2
peopleand2ladders...
• Select the 4000mm top front wall sheet (this is not a full width sheet).
Positionthesheetmakingsureitisushwiththetopofthefronttimber
framingandushwiththecornerstudsatbothends.Fixwith1x25mm
Tek screw at each end. Fit the remaining screws once all of the front wall
claddinghasbeenattached.
DOOR SIDE CLADDING - TOP SHEET
• Fit the wall sheets each side of the doorway using the same process
asbefore.Selecta800mmcladdingsheetandlapitunderneaththe
overdoorsheetaspernormaloverlappingstandards.Fixwith2x25mm
Tek Screws through the overlap.
• Place2xmore25mmTekscrews2ribsupfromthebottomofthesheet
either side so the next sheet down can lap underneath.
The front wall cladding is attached the same way as the other side walls, except that the bottom cladding sheets either side of the roller door will
overlap a lot more than the side and back walls. This will be explained in the step below “BOTTOM SHEET”.

DOOR SIDE CLADDING - MIDDLE SHEET
• Usinganother800mmdoorsidecladdingsheet,lapitunderneaththesheetaboveaspernormalandplace2x25mmTekscrewsintotheoverlapasnormal.
NOTE: do not place any screws in the bottom of this sheet at this stage!
DOOR SIDE CLADDING - BOTTOM SHEET
NOTE: Because of the Overdoor Cladding Sheet at the top of the front wall, the bottom sheet will lap up under the middle sheet by about 5 ribs.
Providing that the sheets have been positioned correctly, the steel prole will match the side walls.
• Takeanother800mmfrontwallcladdingsheetandslideitupunderthemiddlesheetuntilthebottomofthesheetisushwiththebottomoftheshedframing
