Step 1: Establish size of shed and excavate sucient area. Re-
member to allow for rear roof overhang up to 150mm, and
120mm on each end.
Step 2: Ensure that the base substrate is compacted rmly.
We suggest that the slab should be 80mm thick in the middle
and 100mm thick around the edges.
Step 3: Lay boxing to the required size, the raised slab
size should be 2685 x 1485mm and at least 30mm
above the ground line.
Step 4: Lay plasc sheeng if required. Plasc sheeng under slab
will prevent moisture coming through from underneath.

joists. Make sure oor is level and joists are sup-
ported at 900mm centres.
Step 2: Lay out remaining oor boards. Measure
diagonals to ensure measurements are equal (i.e.
oor is square). Rip down last oor board to suit
gap, and nail o oor with 50mm ooring nails (8
nails per board).
Step 3: Nail plasc weather strip to edge of oor on
all four sides, with 30mm clouts, (approx 3-4 nails

This isn't required if shed is on a concrete base.
Step 4: Unpack panels and idenfy wall panels
and door posions as per plan on following page.
