Handi-Garden Shed

Prior to installation, contact your local government authority to determine if building approval
is required. To ensure the installation of your Stratco Handi-Garden Shed goes smoothly, you
should conrm that all the materials listed on the delivery document have been supplied.
Carefully read this brochure to familiarise yourself with the steps involved and to ensure you
have the correct tools and equipment for the job.
NOTE: • Use heavy gloves when handling steel sheeting and ashings.
• Never attempt to install a shed in windy conditions.
• Some components may vary between States.
• The shed dimensions are measured from the edges of the roof.
SITE PREPARATION
IMPORTANT NOTE It is essential to clear and level the construction site before assembling your Stratco Handi-Garden Shed.
Concrete Floor
Option 1 - Before building the shed, pour a base that is larger than the area by at least 200mm in each direction. The base should be poured
so that the concrete outside the shed oor area slopes away from the shed to help prevent water from entering the shed.
Option 2 - Substantial concrete squares may be used at each anchor location as an alternative to a complete concrete oor.

CGI Roof Sheets
Position the rst corrugated roof sheet so it is level with the front or
back panel (depending on where you start). Allow an even overlap
on both sides of the side panels. Rivet the sheet (in the valley of the
corrugations) to the top of one of the side panels. Weatherproof the
rivets with silicone.
When one end of the corrugated roof sheet is secured, push down
on the other end to create a small arc over the ridge beam. Ensuring
the sheet is ush with the front wall, rivet the sheet to the top of
the remaining side panel (Figure 6).
Barge Flashing
When all the roof sheets are positioned, x the barge ashings to
the roof sheets (Figure 8). These overlap each other to provide a
rm seal.

Ridge Beam
On the top edge of the front and back panels, measure the centre
of the shed and mark it so that the ridge beam can be centered
correctly (Figure 4). After drilling pilot holes, x the ridge beam to
the top of the wall panel with the rivets provided (Figure 5).
Ridge Beam
Figure 4 Figure 5
Ensure the corners of the panels are lapped correctly. Drill four
evenly spaced holes through both the overlaps (Figure 2) and
secure with rivets (Figure 3). Use the same method to attach the
other side panel and then the front panel of the shed.
To make sure the shed is square, measure the diagonals. They
should be equal lengths.

Walls
Carefully lay all four panels on the ground in their correct positions
(Figure 1). With the aid of another person, lift the back panel and
one of the two adjacent side panels into the vertical position.

The corrugated sheets should be laid directly from the pack, side by
side, with a one and a half corrugation overlap. The sheets should
be laid into the prevailing wind (Figure 7).

PAD BOLT
Position the pad bolt and latch where they will be xed (the pad bolt sits on the door, and
the latch sits on the frame). Drill the necessary pilot holes and x the pad bolt and latch
through the holes with rivets (Figure 9).
Your Stratco Handi-Garden Shed will maintain its good looks for even longer with a simple
wash and wipe down. Cleaning should be performed as often as is required to remove any
dirt, salt and pollutants.
Stratco Handi-Sheds are produced from the highest quality materials and will provide
many years of service, refer to the ‘Selection Use and Maintenance’ brochure for more
information on how to get the best out of your product.
MAINTENANCE
Figure 9
SECURE THE SHED
The installer is responsible for ensuring the slab or concrete squares are sucient to
support the shed and sustain wind loading. Do not anchor your shed directly to pavers.
The shed must be securely bolted to a permanent concrete base with sucient masonry
anchors to prevent wind uplift. It is particularly important that masonry anchors are
placed within 100mm of the shed corners and openings.
