Footing Layout
Footing Detail
Set out accurately the footing hole locations and check all
dimensions before attempting to dig holes. Refer footing layout
and table supplied for dimensions. Ensure front and side posts are
offset as per footing layout. Door can be positioned on any wall
panel by lapping a sheet.
Dig post holes using a post hole digger and spade to suit
requirements, refer footing details. Footing details show minimum
depth, trim posts to suit or increase depth of footing as required.
Footing sizes assume a firm natural sandy soil clay soil. Increase
depth by 150mm for firm natural sandy soil. Place a bearer (e.g.
an old brick) in the bottom of each hole to prevent the posts
penetrating the soil. Check locations of holes before proceeding
to the next step.

Before installing any of the mullion flashings refer to the roller door
instruction manual, the roller door brackets require installation
before completing this step. Install the mullion flashings to the
mullions, ensure the flashing is flush against the 55mm top channel
(Figure 19). Using rivets attach the flashing to the mullion 100mm
from the top and bottom and mid-height, both sides (Figure 20).
Using three rivets install the infill bracket to the mullion, mullion
flashing should be attached (Figure 21). Repeat for all infill brackets
as per shed requirements. Place the infill flashing between the
mullions to determine if any trimming is necessary, if so use tin
snips to evenly trim both ends of the flashing (Figure 22). Use
eight rivets to secure the infill flashing in position. Using three
rivets secure each end to the infill brackets, then evenly space the
remaining two rivets fixing to the 55mm top channel (Figure 23).

STEP FOURTEEN
Secure sheets with one rivet per crest at the top, two rivets per
pan at the base and one rivet mid-span at the join between sheets
(Figure 27). Remeasure the door jambs and adjust if necessary
(Figure 24). Install the remaining wall sheets working from the
other corner post toward the door jamb (Figure 26). Half lapping
one sheet over another full sheet (Figure 65). Secure sheets with
one rivet per crest at the top, two rivets per pan at the base and one
rivet mid-span at the join between sheets (Figure 28).
Locate your position for the P.A. door, the example provided is
for a left hand hung door 1½ sheets from the corner post (Figure
24). The space for the P.A. door can be created by half lapping
one sheet over another full sheet. To eliminate cutting sheets
it is recommended you temporarily locate both jambs in their
approximate positions. Lay the wall sheets on the ground lining up
all sheets with the intended position of the P.A. door. Proceed to
install the wall sheets from the corner post working toward the door
jamb (Figure 25). Refer sheet fixing detail (Figure 65).

attached to the bottom Z rail (Figure 29). Position the remaining
door jamb and check the Z section door stop and infill will fit
(Figure 30). Check measurements against P.A. door to ensure there
is enough room to open and close the door. Install remaining door
jamb using a 10x16 screw attached to the top channel and a rivet
attached to the bottom Z rail (Figure 29).
With both door jambs installed attach the Z section door stop and
infill using eight rivets (Figure 31). You may find it easier to attach
the Z section door stop to the infill first then attach to the door
jambs and top channel. Position the door so there is even space at
the top and bottom. Fix to the jamb using four 10x16 wafer head
screws per hinge (Figure 32). Close the door and check it opens and
closes without interference.

Start the installation of the remaining wall sheets from a corner
post and work toward the other post. Before fixing wall sheets trial
layout sheets in the panel to ensure last sheet fits correctly into
the corner. Correct spacing of the wall sheet is best achieved by
marking top and bottom tracks and fixing sheets to these marks. Z
rail base should be temporarily supported to take out any bowing
Position the corner post flashing ensuring the bottom edge is
sitting on top of the bottom Z rail (Figure 34). Trim the top of the
corner post flashing as required (Figure 36). Secure flashing with
rivets at maximum 500mm centres starting 20mm from each end.
(Figure 35). Repeat for all corners.
while installing wall sheets. Secure sheets with one rivet per crest at
the top, two rivets per pan at the base and one rivet mid-span at the
join between sheets. Refer to sheet fixing details (Figure 65). Ensure
all wall sheets are secured with rivets into corner channels and door
jambs top, bottom and mid-height. Optional dust proofing foam
can be trimmed to suit and installed after Prodek.

Refer to the Gutter Installation step before completing Step 18.
Before laying the roof sheets pans must be turned down at each
end 45°to the horizontal (Figure 37). Optional dust proofing foam
can be placed between Prodek and top channel (Figure 38). Place
the Prodek roof sheets on the C section rafter. Start laying the
sheets from the outside edge of the top channel on the long side.
Installing one sheet at a time ensuring sheet overhang is even at
each end, fix using one 10x16 screw per pan into C section rafter
and top channels (Figure 39). Refer sheet fixing details (Figure 65).

Refer to the Gutter Installation section of the instructions before
completing Step 19. Make a mark mid-span on the top of the first
crest of the roof and position the barge flashing so the end is
minimum 5mm past the mark. Fix with two 10x16 screws (Figure
40). Position the other barge flashing so the ends overlap by
minimum 10mm. Fix two more 10x16 screws into top channel
(Figure 41). Fix a 10x16 screw mid-span so that it penetrates both
barge flashings and the top channel. Fix a 10x16 screw mid-span so
that it penetrates both barge flashings and the first crest of the roof
sheet. Fix two more 10x16 screws at either end again penetrating
the crest of the roof sheet (Figure 41). Repeat the procedure for the
opposite side.

GUTTER INSTALLATION
Figure 42 Figure 43
Figure 44 Figure 45
Figure 46 Figure 47
Gutter components are detailed in the list below. First prepare
each of the gutters ready for installation. Select the location of the
downpipe and install the downpipe outlet into one of the gutters.
Place the outlet up against the back of the gutter approximately
40mm from the end and trace around the outlet. Cut out the
appropriate sized hole to ensure the outlet fits snugly. Attach the
downpipe outlet and stop ends with rivets (Figure 42). Seal around
the edge of the downpipe outlet and stop ends with silicone (Figure
43).
Using tin snips make a pair of cuts 20mm apart, 150mm from the
end of the gutter. Bend the tab back over itself (Figure 44). Repeat
for the other end and evenly space with a maximum spacing of
1200mm (Figure 45). Attach gutter to top rail with rivets (Figure
45). Repeat for opposite gutter. Return to Step 18.
After Step 18 has been completed you can install the gutter brackets.
Place the first bracket under the lip of the gutter with the flat end
in the middle of the second roof sheet pan from the edge, bend the
bracket to match the angle. Place a small amount of silicone on the
underside of the bracket and attach with a rivet (Figure 46). Repeat
for remaining brackets placing one in every fourth pan (Figure 47).
Place a small amount of silicone on the top of each rivet to seal.
After both gutters are attached return to Step 19.

DOWNPIPE INSTALLATION
Figure 48 Figure 49
Figure 50 Figure 51
Install roller door/s, refer to manufacturers specifications and
installation instructions.
If you have chosen the double door option for your Homeshed
there will be one less wall sheet and the Z section door stop and
infill will measure 1545mm. Included with the extra P.A. door is a
seam flashing. Locate your position for the P.A. doors, the example
provided is for a double door hung 1 sheet from left post (Figure
50). The space for the P.A. door can be created by half lapping
one sheet over another full sheet. To eliminate cutting sheets
it is recommended you temporarily locate both jambs in their
approximate positions. Then lay the wall sheets on the ground
lining up all sheets with the intended position of the P.A. doors.
Proceed to install the wall sheets from the corner post working
toward the first door jamb (Figure 51). Refer lapping detail (Figure
65). Secure sheets with one rivet per crest at the top, two rivets per
pan at the base and one rivet mid-span at the join between sheets
(Figure 28). The Z rail base should be temporarily supported during
this step. Repeat procedure working back from opposite corner
post, you may need to stretch sheets slightly to fit.
Cut the downpipes to the required length, allow room for any
downpipe shoes or other optional fittings. Place the downpipe over
the downpipe outlet and attach with two rivets through both sides
of the downpipe (Figure 48). Seal with silicone.
Place the downpipe bracket as close to the ground as possible. Fix
the bracket using downpipe rivets (Figure 49). Seal with silicone.

Figure 54 Figure 55
Before fixing the P.A. door to the jamb decide which of the two
doors will open first, the handle will attach to this door. Attach the
seam flashing to the other door using four 10x16 screws with a
recommended 20mm overhang (Figure 54). Position the door so
there is even space both top and bottom. Fix to the jamb using four
10x16 wafer head screws per hinge (Figure 32). Close the door and
check it opens and closes without interference. Position the second
door and fix to the jamb using four 10x16 wafer head screws per
hinge (Figure 55).

Remeasure the door jambs and adjust if necessary (Figure 50).
Install the door jamb from which the door will be hung, using a
10x16 self drilling screw attached to the top channel and a rivet
attached to bottom Z rail (Figure 29). Position the remaining door
jamb and check the Z section door stop and infill will fit (Figure
52). Check measurements against P.A. doors to ensure there is
enough room to open and close the doors. Install remaining door
jamb using a 10x16 screw attached to the top channel and a rivet
attached to the bottom Z rail (Figure 29). With both door jambs
installed attach the Z section door stop and infill using ten rivets
(Figure 53). You may find it easier to attach the Z section door stop
to the infill first then attach to door jambs and top channel.

LOUVRED WINDOW OPTION
Figure 59 Figure 60
Figure 57 Figure 58
If you have chosen the louvred window option for your Homeshed,
one of the 2400mm walling sheets will need to be trimmed to suit
with tin snips. The example provide is for a window one sheet from
the corner post on the short side of the shed 500mm from top
channel. Fix one full length wall sheet against the corner post. Then
fix the larger trimmed sheet (Figure 57) as previously described
(Figure 65). Place the remaining trimmed sheet loosely into position
and check to see that the window will fit the opening (Figure 58).
Ensure the wall sheets either side of the window tightly abutt
the frame so no gaps occur. Correct spacing of the sheet is best
achieved by marking the top and bottom tracks and fixing the
sheets to these marks. Fix the remaining sheets working back
from the corner post (Figure 59). Place the pre-assembled louvred
window and remaining trimmed sheet into the opening. Check for
squareness. Install with rivets securing the window frame to the
crests of the wall sheets and evenly spaced around the remaining
frame (Figure 60). Place a bead of silicone in each corner of the
window to prevent water entry.
