2. Wall panels
Position two medium panels as shown. Note how the panel frames sit on the floor with the panel cladding overhanging the floor edge. Ensure square and secure using
3 x 50mm screws, screw through the frame of the back panel, into the frame of the side panel. Continue to add panels as shown below securing each one with
3 x 50mm screws.
1. Lay floor sections
Prepare a firm level area for the shed to sit. Position the two floor sections together and ensure level.
3. Apex panels and door header rail
Place an apex panel on top of the back panel, make sure the bottom shiplap board of the apex panel fits correctly into the shiplap board of the back panel. Secure by using
2 x 50mm screws, screw up through the top frame of the back panel into the bottom frame of the apex panel. Repeat for front apex. Attach to the front apex the door
header rail using 2 x 50mm screws. Secure it flush to the bottom of the apex framing as shown.

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.

6. Roof panel assembly
To the first roof panel secure a roof rafter flush to the right-hand edge of the panel, ensure the correct angled end of the rafter is flush to the short edge of the panel as
shown below. Attach using 4 x 30mm nails, nail through the panel into the rafter. To the second panel attach two rafters in the same way as the first with one down each
side of the panel. To the third panel attach a rafter down the Left-hand edge. Join the three panels together using 2 x 50mm screws per join, Screw through the rafter of
one panel into the rafter of the next as shown. Create a second roof section in the same way as the first

7. Fitting roof panels and gussets
Secure to the lower edge of both roof sections two felt battens using 5 x 30mm nails per batten as shown. Ensure the felt battens are flush to the edges of the panels. Flush
to the front edges of each section attach the roof batten blocks evenly spaced along the edge using 2 x 30mm nails per block. Position the roof panels onto the building,
make sure the top edges are located at the apex and the roof is flush with the back apex. Secure with 8 x 38mm screws per roof section, screw through the roof and into
the panel framing. From inside the building fix a gusset to both sides of the two rafters using 2 x 30mm nails per gusset.
8. Roofing felt
Cut the 5m roofing felt roll into two equal lengths. Place one length over one roof section. At the front and along the lower edge of the roof leave an overhang of felt of
at least 45mm. Fold down the felt along the lower edge and secure to the felt batten using 22 x10mm felt nails evenly spaced. Tension the felt over the roof and secure
along the upper edge using 4 x 10mm felt nails. Repeat this for the second piece of felt on the other half of the roof. Once the two pieces of felt are in place take the 2.5m
ridge felt roll and place over the apex of the roof making sure it sits centrally over the roof ridge and overlaps the other two felt pieces, attach using 22 x 10mm felt nails
evenly spaced, along each lower edge of the third felt. Dress down the ends of all felt pieces and attach to the Batten blocks at the front with 6 x 10mm felt nails. At the
back secure to the apex panel using 6 x 10mm felt nails. when all the felt is in position trim of any excess.

To the door hinge side front panel, position the 12x28x1685mm door rebate coverstrip between the floor and the header rail and attach to the side of the panel frame
using 5 x 25mm screws. To the other front panel, attach the rebate strip to the back of the panel using 5 x 25mm screws leaving a 12mm overlap. See diagram below.

Fit a coverstrip into each corner, attach using 3 x 30mm nails per strip. The remaining three are used to cover the panel joins on each side and the back, attach using 3
x 30mm nails per strip. Attach bargeboards at the front so that the top edge is flush with the roof line and the two boards meet evenly in the middle secure using 3
x 30mm nails per board. Attach a finial centrally over the join between the bargeboards use 2 x 30mm nails. In the same way fit two bargeboards and a finial to the back.
9. Fitting the door
Position the door in the opening and secure in place with three T-hinges and 7 x 32mm security screws per hinge as shown below. Fit the padlock protector to the outside
of the door in line with the centre cross rail on the inside of the door, secure in place using 4 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 right-hand front panel using 2 x 65mm and 2 x 50mm coach bolts, nuts and washers, as shown below.
Position the turn button near the top of the door and secure to the right-hand front panel using 1 x 25mm screw.

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.
