BASE SIZE: 3.020m x 2.020m

BEFORE YOU START:
• Read all instructions carefully
• Identify all parts and check quantities against parts list
• Select a level site
• Do not mark cladding with pencil as lead can cause corrosion to cladding
• During assembly, ensure all drill filings are removed between layers of steel, before riveting together
SAFETY:
• Do not attempt to build your shed in high winds
• Beware of sharp edges, we recommend that you use gloves
• Protect your eyes and ears
• For ease of assembly, use a friend to help
TOOLS REQUIRED:
WARRANTY REQUIREMENTS:
Following are the minimum requirements for cladding used in Smart store Sheds.
• Wash all surfaces annually using a hose and soft nylon brush.

SMART STORE WOODEN FLOOR
• The optional Smart store kitset wooden floor is precut and de-
signed to be fitted into the shed after the shed is assembled.
• Assemble shed as per instructions and fit floor last.
(see page 14 for details).
CONCRETE SLAB FOR RAISED BASE PLATE SHED
To build a raised concrete slab for your shed to sit on, we recom-
mend the following:
• The raised slab size should be 15mm smaller than the base
size of the shed and at least 30mm above ground line.
• The slab should be 80mm thick in the middle and 100mm
thick around the edges.
• The slab should be laid on a solid or compacted base.
• Plastic sheeting under slab will prevent moisture coming
through from underneath.
• During construction, you may raise the bottom timber
plate to allow the wall cladding to protrude 20mm below
the bottom plate. This will stop water flowing between
the bottom plate and the concrete floor.
See note on page 8.

RAISED BASE PLATE OPTION
(For sheds placed on a raised concrete floor)
No doubt by now you will have decided what sort of base you are putting down.
Please read the section that applies to your situation.
If you choose to pour a concrete base you will need to decide whether you wish to raise the base plate of your shed.
This allows the cladding to protrude below the surface of the concrete and ensures a water tight pad.
See concrete pad specifications below
By choosing this option you will need to make the concrete pad to the specification below.

SMALL DOOR:
• Assemble small door in same way as large door using 0.495 m top and bottom flashings.
• Before screwing on 0.915m door braces, attach weather strip flashing to back of door side flashing using six rivets
ensuring it protrudes 20mm out from door side.
STEP 1:
• Lay out 2 x door sheets on a flat surface
making sure narrow pans are on the outside.
• Rivet sheets together ensuring ends are
flush with each other.
STEP 2:
• Position door side flashings and 0.945m top
and bottom flashings and assemble door as
shown.
• Drill and rivet as per diagram.
STEP 4:
• On the back of the door, place door braces in posi-
tion as shown in fig.3.
• Ensure that the top and bottom ends of the braces
are under the door flashings as shown in fig.4. and
opposite ends of the braces overlap in the middle.
• Rivet door brace flashings onto back of door as
shown. Where possible, rivet from front of door.
STEP 3:
• Attach hinges to door side flashing using rivets provided.
Ensure hinge is flush with back of door, and 60mm in from
each end as per fig.2.
• Using six rivets, attach padbolt support as shown in fig. 1.

BASE PLATE –READ THE FOLLOWING;
For sheds with Raised Base Plate option only (see page 6), deduct
30mm from measurement shown between Top and Bottom Plates on
all wall panels, so cladding protrudes 20mm below bottom plate.
Ie. reduce 1850mm to 1820mm between Plates.
STEP 1:
• Lay out 1 x Top plate and 1 x Bottom plate on a flat surface as shown
(corner cut-outs to face outwards). Measurements between Top and
Bottom plates are critical to ensure wall panels fit together.
STEP 2:
• Place 2 x 1.920 m wall sheets and 2 x 1.980 m wall sheets on top
of timber plates with bottom of sheets flush with each other.
• Rivet sheets together on overlaps as shown.
STEP 3:
• Nail wall sheets to the Top Plate at each end making
sure that the top corners of the sheets are flush with
the top of the Top Plate and that the sides of the wall
sheet overhang the Top Plate by approx 15mm as
shown.
• Check that the Top Plate is straight then nail the
Wall sheet to the Top Plate, 2 clouts per pan.
(see fig. 1).
Standard Shed — Bottom Plate will protrude be-
low wall sheet by approximately 10mm.
Raised base plate shed — Wall sheet will protrude
below the Bottom Plate by 20mm.
STEP 4:
• Nail the wall sheets to the Bottom Plate at each end ensuring each side
of wall sheets overhangs the end of Bottom Plate by 15mm. Check that
the distance between the Top and Bottom Plates is correct. (As per
diagram in step 1)
• Check that the Bottom Plate is straight then nail the wall sheets to the
Bottom Plate, two clouts per pan (see fig. 1).

STEP 5:
• Place barge flashings on roof at end of
shed ensuring the diagonal trimmed end
is facing out.
• Rivet the Barge Flashings to the roof
and the side wall, using four rivets on top
of barge and four into the side (fig.3).

STEP 3:
• Ensure shed is sitting level and square.
• Beginning from the left hand end (looking from front)
centralise the Roof sheets on the Ridge Beam.
• Ensure that the Roof is tight against the Gable Wall Sheets. Screw 1 x 50mm Roofing screw through the 1st pan into
the Ridge Beam. (a - fig.2).
• At the back left hand corner, (from front) line up the ribs on the Roof Sheet with the ribs on the Wall Sheet then using
1 x 50mm Clout, predrill and nail Roof Sheet through the rib into the Top Plate. (b– fig.2.)Repeat at the front left hand
IMPORTANT
Use 50mm Clouts only on ribs covered by flashings,
shown in fig.2. Predrill holes using a 3.5mm drill bit.
Use Roofing Screws on all other ribs and pans. Ensure
screws are not overtightened as this can damage the
seals and cause the shed to leak.
STEP 4:
• Centralise the Roof at the other end (R/H end) with the Ridge Beam.
• Using 1 x 50mm Roofing Screw, fix roof sheet though the pan, to the other end of
Ridge Beam. (d–fig.2).
• Using 2 x 50mm Clouts fix sheet though rib to front & back Top Plates. (e–fig.2).
• Ensure that the Ridge Beam is straight, screw roof sheets to ridge beam beside
each overlap, through the pan using 5 x 50mm Roofing screws.
• Ensure the Front and Back Top Plates are straight. Screw the roof sheets to the
front & back Top Plates, through the ribs, using 1 x Roofing Screw per rib. (fig.1).
STEP 7:
• Place spouting in position and rivet to
Barge Flashings at each end and rivet to
roof sheets (1 rivet per 1 sheet) (fig.4). fig.3

SECURING SHED
Secure your shed using Treated Timber Pegs or a Bolt Down Kit
TIMBER PEGS—WOODEN FLOOR
• The optional Duratuf Timber Peg Down Kit includes six H5 treated timber
pegs that can be hammered into the ground and then attached to the
Base Plate with stainless steel screws. A Smart store timber floor can
then be fitted on top of the Base Plate if required.
BOLT DOWN KIT—CONCRETE
• The optional Duratuf Bolt Down Kit includes 6 x galvanised
brackets, screws and dynabolts.
• Space the brackets evenly around the shed and fix to the Bottom
Plate and the concrete slab. A 10mm masonry drill bit is required.
IMPORTANT— CLEAN UP
REMOVE ALL DRILL FILINGS FROM ROOF, WALLS AND CHANNELS
THOROUGHLY. FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL RESULT IN CORROSION AND
COULD THEREFORE VOID THE WARRANTY.
FIT PADBOLT
• Rivet Padbolt to door and keeper onto Door Jamb as shown.
