With the centre post now attached to the base,
locate the top of the post between the central roof
battens, flush with the batten ends, and secure in
place with 2 of the 65mm screws.
Establish which side your door is to be fitted on and
fit the lattice into place by holding it with the slats in
a vertical position, sliding it into the store until you
have enough clearance to move it to the horizontal
position and then lower it into the base as shown.

Place a spacer block at the front of the store adjacent
to the front end post and rest the hinge side of the
appropriate door on the block, aligning it vertically
and horizontally for a good fit. Now use four of the
supplied black hinge screws to affix the hinge to the
post.
Align the top hinge in place, ensuring that the gap
between the door and post is consistent at top and
bottom.
