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 3585 x 2475mm 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.
Step 5: Pour concrete and screed ush

Step 1: Lay out oor joists, spacing them evenly
as shown. Using 50mm ooring nails, nail a oor
board on each end, ensuring ends are ush with
joists. Make sure oor is level and joists are sup-
ported at 1240mm 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
(10 nails per board).
Step 3: Unpack panels and idenfy wall panels
and door posions as per the wall plan located
on page 5.
Select two panels that go either side of a corner
(gable and standard panel) and stand together.
Example: R (standard) and LG (Gable)
Located on the boom plate of each wall.

Please note: The walls are not screwed down to the oor unl all the walls
are erected, the roof is in place and the door is about to be installed.
The Boom Plate of each wall will be labelled L, R, C, LG or RG based on
the posion it goes in the wall plan.

Step 4: Screw wall panels together using 75mm tek
screws (3 per low connecon, 4 per high connecon),
ensuring gable walls are inside the standard walls as
per the wall plan on the previous page.
Step 5: Silicone edge of weatherboards on the stand-
ing panel, and lying your next wall down silicone the
connecng edges weatherboards. Nail the bead to the
laid down panel. ( 4 bead nails per standard bead, 5
per gable bead)
Make sure bead is properly sealed to avoid leaks.
Note: On standard panels only, top of bead is bevelled
to allow for slope of roof.
Step 6: Silicone and nail remaining beads on each panel. Screw panels together us-
ing 3 tek screws per join and 4 on the longer joins on gable panels as menoned
above.

Step 8: Using 75mm framing nails, nail both top
plate seners into standard wall panels studs, as
shown using 2 nails per each end stud, and 1 nail
for each remaining stud. Ensure ends are evenly
spaced before nailing.
Step 9: Using 30mm clouts nail top cedar boards
to seners (2-3 nails per board). Predrill holes to
stop boards from spling.
NEBRASKA STIFFENERS
Step 7: Using the 15mm Packer screw the door
lintel into place, using 2 x 75mm tek screws at
each end. Screwing though the stud into the
lintel.
Tip: Using the screw to predrill a hole before
aempng to screw into the lintel will make this
easier.
Above Lintel from the outside, below Lintel from
the inside.

Step 11: Posion roof trusses over the join of
the panels on the front and back walls, as
shown in the wall plan. Using 75mm framing
nails, nail the truss to the seners. Predrill the
truss as to avoid spling the mber.
Refer to Wall Plan on page 5 for correct truss locaon.
Step 12: Posion purlins on roof. (Top Purlins
100mm, boom purlins 50mm) Top purlins
should be together and boom purlins should
be against the Seners. Using 75mm framing
nails, predrill then nail purlins into top of gable
end panels and truss (2 nails per join).
Check that overhangs are even all around.
Condensaon can form on the under side of shed roof. If
building paper is required, t now. Nailing to the purlins with
the clouts provided.
Please note: The image above has one truss, this
model requires two.
Please note: The image above has one truss, this
model requires two trusses.
Step 10: Ensuring the clashing is ush at the top.
Silicone and nail corner clashings on all corners as
shown using 4 x bead nails per clashing.
Silicone both edges where the clashing meets the
weatherboards to ensure this doesn't leak.

Step 13: Ensure shed is square, by measuring
diagonals at top corner of wall panels.
Step 14: Posion rst full sheet with rib ush with
end of purlins and top of sheet ush with the top
of the purlin.
Tack top of the sheet into the top purlin using a
30mm clout through the pan. Using a 35mm
Roong Screw with Washer, screw through the
rst full rib into the boom purlin to a depth of
approximately 10mm.
Tip: Predrilling with a 3mm drill bit may make this easier.
First full Rib
Pan
Step 15: Lay out remaining full roof sheets, with
sucient overlap that the last lip lines up with
the opposite ends purlins.
This may require overlapping mulple ribs.
Rivet these sheets together, 3 rivets per join, to
make 1 large roof panel as shown in photo.
Rivet top, middle and boom.
Tack remaining top corner and screw the boom
corner ensuring edge of sheet is ush with end of
purlins and height is correct.
Ensure purlins are straight, Nail through every
fourth pan using 30mm clouts into the top purlin,
using 35mm roong screws with washers screw
through every fourth rib into the boom purlin.
Tip: If you have string or a long piece of mber use it as a
guide to screw on a straight line.

NEBRASKA ROOF FLASHINGS
Step 18: Aach spoung channels to
the barges with 1 x rivet at each end,
leaving approximately a 5mm spacing at
either end to allow for water run o.
Rivet the Spoung to the roof sheet
every eighth rib, this should line up with
the rivets on the ridge ashing.
Remember to remove or drill lings
from a colour steel roof.
Step 17: Aach both barges with 2 x
Rivets to the ridge ashing.
Pushing the barges into the purlins to
nd the correct lie.
Rivet the ridge ashing to the ribs of the
roof sheet. Then connue to rivet every
eighth rib.
Step 16: Sit the Barge on the end of the
Roof Sheets so that the fold is centralised
to the peak of the roof.

PG 11
NEBRASKA DOOR
Step 19: Fit the temporary door stop in doorway.
Measure diagonally corner to corner that the shed
is square. Check all wall panels are straight and pan-
els either side of doorway are ght against door
stop. Screw panels to oor using 1 x 75mm tek
screw per panel as posioned in the Wall Plan.
Screw near the panel joins, where possible.
Once all appropriate posions are screwed down
remove the door stop.
Step 20: Fit door in posion as shown.
Step 21: Using 3 x 75mm tek screws, screw door
stud to the panel. Check that door opens.
Using 3 x 50mm beading nails, nail 15mm packer
onto side of door opening as shown in Wall plan
on pg. 5.
Step 22: Screw the Keeper through the 15mm Bead
into the Stud using the 32mm Stainless Steel screw,
so that it is central to the middle row of screws on the
door.
Screw the Padbolt inline with the Keeper so that the
bolt can slide in and out of place.
