2. Wall panels
Position the 570mm wide wall panel and a large wall panel on the floor as shown. Note how the panel frames sit on the floor with the panel cladding overhanging the floor
edge. Ensure square and secure using 4 x 50mm screws, screw through the frame of the small panel into the frame of the large panel. Position a 526mm wide wall panel
next to the large panel, ensure square and secure them together in the same way. Continue adding the rest of the panels as shown in the diagrams using 4 x 50mm screws
per join. Lift the apex panel on top of the back wall, make sure the bottom shiplap board of the apex panel fits correctly into the top shiplap board of the back panel. Secure
by using 4 x 50mm screws, screw up through the top frame of the back panel into the bottom frame of the apex panel.
Important note
To " VALIDATE" the guarantee, adequate provision must
be made to ensure ground contact is avoided and air is
able to circulate underneath the building.
Placing the building on a concrete pad or slab base is
acceptable provided that the building is not allowed to sit
in pooled water during wet conditions.
If the building is to sit on soil or grass it MUST be
erected on pressure treated wooden 50mm x 50mm or
similar bearers (These are not supplied in the kit).
Rowlinson Garden Products recommend using pressure
treated bearers with all buildings on any type of base.
3. Secure the walls to the floor
Ensure the panels are sitting square on the floor. Secure using 19 x 63mm screws, screw through the panel frames and floor into the floor joists.

4. Roof part 1
Build the two large roof sections using the four solid roof panels by joining the panel frames together, ensure the frames are flush with each other and secure using 2 x 50mm
screws for each panel join. Assemble the roof centre block with the internal roof capping, have the block sitting central on the cap except at the flat end where the two
components should be flush with each other. Secure the capping to the centre block using 8 x 50mm screws. Screw through the cap into the block. Insert the flat end of the
roof block assembly into the apex, secure using 2 x 50mm screws. screw up through apex frame into the roof block assembly. ensure the roof block assembly is sitting level
and securely support the other end using a prop. When the block is secure and fully supported lift on the two roof sections and secure to the walls panel using 6 x 40mm screws
per side.

capping piece on top of the roof and screw down through the capping into the centre block using 8 x 50mm screws. Fasten the two apex bargeboards to the apex end of
the roof, position so that the two boards meet evenly at the ridge of the roof, secure using 4 x 40 mm screws through each board into the roof battens. Position the finial
centrally over the join of the two bargeboards and secure using 2 x 40mm screws.

8. Roof felt
Cut the 4m felt roll into two equal parts. Place a length of felt over the solid part of one side of the roof. Along the lower edge of the roof leave an overhang of felt of
at least 45mm and at the end where it meets the glazed panels have the felt over lap the glazing by at least 25mm. Fold down the felt along the lower edge and secure
to the felt batten using 20 x10mm felt nails evenly spaced. Tension the felt up the roof and secure along the upper edge using 5 x 10mm felt nails. Repeat this for the
second piece of felt on the other side of the roof. Once the two pieces of felt are in place position the 2m roll of felt over the roof ridge making sure it sits centrally and
overlaps the other two felt pieces, attach using 20 x 10mm felt nails evenly spaced, along each lower edge of the piece of felt. Dress down the felt pieces at the apex end
and attach to the roof battens using 10 x 10mm felt nails. When all the felt is in fixed in position, trim of any excess.

10. Roof coverstrips
Under the flap of roof felt that overlaps the glazed panels, add a good bead of silicon. Drill four pilot holes evenly spaced along the length of each roof felt to glazed panel
coverstrips. Align over the join of the solid roof panel and glazed panel, tuck under the roof capping and secure using 4 x 25mm screws. Drill four pilot holes evenly spaced
along the length of each angled roof coverstrip. Apply a good bead of silicon along the underside of the strips. Position a strip over each of the roof panel joins, tucking each
one under the top cap with the pointed end pointing down the roof, Secure each strip with 4 x 25mm screws.
11. Corner/joint coverstrips
Secure the seven corner/joint coverstrip and the four angled corner coverstrips in the positions shown in the second diagram. Each strip is fixed using 4 x 30mm nails evenly
spaced along the length of the strip

hinges and 7 x 32mm screws per hinge. Fit the pad bolt to the door using 4 x 22mm screws and 2 x 50mm coach bolts, nuts and washers. It will be necessary to drill holes
for the coach bolts using a 6mm diameter drill bit. Fit the catch plate to the wall panel ensure the bolt is able to slide into the catch plate. Attach using 2 x 22mm screws and
2 x 50mm coach bolts, nuts and washers. Position the turn button near the top of the door, secure to the wall panel using 1 x 25mm screw.

through the framing of the potting table into the window cill. Position a side potting table under each of the remaining windows attach each with 2 x 50mm screws to the
window cill and secure to the main potting table using 2 x 50mm screws. The four potting table legs are secured underneath the tables as shown using 1 x 50mm screw at
the top of each leg, screw though the leg into the framing of the table. Ensure each leg is vertical and secure to the floor using a Metal L-bracket and 4 x 25mm screws per
bracket.
Each of the four legs are secured
to the floor using metal L-brackets

Important information - retain for future reference
Shiplap buildings come ready stained but this is only a preparatory treatment. To VALIDATE the guarantee, the building must be properly treated with a recognised
external wood preserver WITHIN 3 MONTHS of assembly and RE-TREATED ANNUALLY thereafter.
Adequate provision must be made to ensure ground contact is avoided and air is able to circulate underneath the building.
Placing the building on a concrete pad or slab base is acceptable provided that the building is not allowed to sit in pooled water during wet conditions.
If the building is to sit on soil or grass it MUST be erected on pressure treated wooden 50mm x 50mm or similar bearers (These are not supplied in the kit).
Rowlinson Garden Products recommend using pressure treated bearers with all buildings on any type of base.
Timber Information.
As timber is a natural material, there are certain weather conditions that may affect the materials properties. In times of excessive dry spells the material may lose some
of its internal moisture causing a certain degree of shrinkage on a panel and in periods of excessive rain there will be a certain amount of swelling throughout the wooden
panels. This process can not be avoided. If you have problems with certain boards shrinking in dry spells try to decrease the amount of direct sunlight on the building or
the amount of air passing over the building. During hot spells spray water directly onto the panels with the aid of a garden hose.
