2. Wall panels
Position a large panel and a small panel 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 small panel, into the frame of the large panel. Continue to add panels as shown below securing each one with
3 x 50mm screws.
1. Floor sections
Prepare a level area for the shed to sit of no less than 1870mm x 2450mm. With the two floor panels upside down, join together using 5 x 50mm screws as shown.

3. Apex panels, door header rail and door frame coverstrips
Place the rear 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. Attach the front apex in the same way to the front
panels. Attach to the front apex the door header rail using 2 x 50mm screws. Secure it flush to the bottom of the apex framing. The door rebate coverstrips are positioned
between the floor and the header rail. Attach the coverstrips flush to the framing of the front panels using 4 x 30mm nails per strip.
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.
It is recommended
to drill pilot holes
with a 4mm drill
for each screw.

5. Roof sections
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 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.
Secure to lower edge of both roof sections two felt battens using 5 x 30mm nails per batten as shown. Ensure the felt batten 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.

6. Roof sections
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 25mm 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.
7. Roofing felt
Cut the 5m roofing felt roll into 2 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 25 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 25 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 in the same way. when all the felt is in position trim of any excess felt with a sharp knife

Important information - retain for future reference
To VALIDATE the guarantee: Shiplap buildings come ready stained but this is only a preparatory treatment. 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.

8. Coverstrips, bargeboards and finials
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 back of the building, 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. Repeat for the bargeboards on the back. On the front attach a finial centrally over the join between the bargeboards use 2 x 30mm nails. Repeat
for the finial on the back.

9. Doors
Position the doors in the opening and secure each door in place with three T-hinges and 7 x 32mm security screws per hinge as shown below. On the inside of the
right-hand door secure the tower bolts to the mounting blocks using 4 x 19mm round head screws per bolt. With the doors shut, position a door coverstrip so it overlaps
both doors and is flush at the top of the doors, secure only to to left-hand door using 3 x 20mm screws. In the same way fix the other door coverstrip flush to the bottom
of the door. Fit the Padlock protector to the left door between the two coverstrips using 4 x 65mm 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 door using 4 x 50mm coach bolts, nuts and washers, as shown below. Position the turn button just
above the left-hand door secure to the apex panel using 1 x 20mm screw.
Important Note:
Great care must be taken when
positioning and securing the hinges with
security screws. Once screwed in these
screws are difficult to remove
