Column Positioning
If fixing the columns into the ground, mark out the footing-
hole locations with stakes and check that the diagonal
measurements are equal (refer to Figure 1.0 & Table 1.0).
If the door positioning is known, it is best to dig the holes
for the door jambs at this point, as it can be difficult to
dig around the structure later in the process.

Ensure that the flat side of the columns and rafters are
always facing out. Each beam has a flat edge with a
double wall thickness which should always face outwards,
as this provides a thicker wall section when fixing the
wall sheets to the frame.
Fix the column and rafter ends to the knuckles with two
10x16 self-drilling screws, locating them approximately
25-30mm from the knuckle as illustrated in Figure 2.3.
This will allow enough room (approx. 75mm) for fixing
the side girts.
To fix the end girt, secure a beam bracket 600mm in from
the bottom of each column, as illustrated in Figure 2.4,
using two 10x16 self-drilling screws. Be sure to position
the brackets in the correct orientation. Slide the end girt
into the beam bracket and fasten with one 10x16 self-
drilling screw on each side of the bracket.
For Model 3, fasten the additional end girt between the
eaves connections as described over.

Installing an Upper Girt
A top girt is to be integrated into a gable end within
H3 model units. The beam brackets for the girt are
positioned at the top of the gable columns and installed
as per the lower girt (Figure 2.4).
Door Jamb Installation (Gable-End Doors Only)
When doors are positioned at the gable end of a Heritage
shed a shorter end girt will be provided along with two
gable door header brackets.
The header brackets must be fastened to the gable rafters
on both sides of the gable frame with the top edge in line
with the flat plane of the rafter (Figure 2.5).
Secure the header bracket to the rafter using three 10x16
self-drilling screws on each side (Figure 2.6).
When both gable door header brackets are fastened to
the rafters, the header girt can be inserted in to each
bracket and secured with two 10x16 self-drilling screws
on each side (Figure 2.7 & 2.8).
If a door is to be installed at the gable-end, the end girt
supplied must be cut into two lengths. These lengths will
dictate the door positioning.
From one side of the gable frame, determine how far in
the door is to be positioned. Use this measurement to cut
a length of girt to size (Figure 2.9). To create the second
door girt, 880mm is to be removed from the remaining
length (Figure 2.9).
As with standard gable frames, fasten two beam brackets
to the insides of the columns as illustrated in Figure
2.4. Position and fasten a door girt to each of the beam
brackets using 10x16 self-drilling screws, making sure
the flat side with the double thickness is facing outwards.
Position the door jambs against the inside end of the
door girts, then also position the door lintel against
the bottom face of the top girt. Ensure that the lintel
is located so the front lip protrudes by approximately
20mm (Figure 2.10).

Window Support Installation
(Gable-End Windows Only)
If including a window at the gable end of an H1, H2, or H4
Heritage Shed an extra girt is required for strengthening.
The existing top girt will provide sufficient strength in an
H3 model.
When constructing the frame of an H1, H2, or H4 model
an extra gable end girt is required. Position the extra
girt approximately 785mm up from the top of the lower
girt (Figure 2.14). This girt is to be fastened as with the
existing end girt.
Note: The distance of the extra girt from the lower girt
is determined by the customer’s desired window height.
Windows are to be installed after walling sheets.
Squaring the Frame
Ensure the end frame is square by checking the diagonal
measurements (Figure 2.0).
Attaching Wall Sheets
Fix the pre-cut angled wall sheets to the end frame with
10x16 self-drilling screws. Use 5 screws per sheet, per
girt and rafter, fixing through the “pan” of the profile
(Figure 2.15).
When the lintel is positioned, secure through the bottom
of the top girt using three 10x16 self-drilling screws.
Determine which side the door will open and fix the
jamb to the lintel on the side in which the door is to be
hung. Use two 10x16 self-drilling screws on each side as
illustrated in Figure 2.11. Also secure the jambs to the
door girts (Figure 2.12). Do this for both jambs, all the
while maintaining a square door frame.
Keep the jambs square by measuring the distance
between the top of the jamb and the column and
maintaining this distance between the jamb and the
column along the length of the jamb (Figure 2.13).

Be sure to align the top of the sheets (angled cut end) with
the top groove of the rafter (Figure 2.16), and the outside
edges of the sheets with the outer groove of the columns.
Use a string line or measuring tape along the outside
face of the walling to locate the lower girt and maintain
an even and horizontal placement of screws.
When including a Gable-End Door the wall sheets must be
modified to suit the door positioning. Lay the first sheet
in position and mark the door jamb and lintel positioning
on the sheet. Make sure when marking out that, when
cut, the sheet will fit within the door jamb and fit around
the lintel (Figure 2.17). A rectangular notch must also
be cut in to the sheet to fit around the door lintel, as
illustrated in Figure 2.18.
Work along the Gable-End, trimming wall sheets to fit
around the door opening as necessary. The sheet edge can
then be pressed in so it tucks behind the door jamb and
around the lintel. If a window is included in the Gable-End

Fixing Beam Brackets
Before tilting the frames into position, locate and fix five
additional beam brackets to the end frame at the ridge
joint, eaves joints, and 600mm in from the bottom of each
column at the intersection of the lower girt and columns.
Use two 10x16 self-drilling screws per bracket as
illustrated in Figure 2.19, 2.20, & 2.21.

INSTALLING THE DOOR JAMB (FOR DOORS ON SIDE)
Determine where the door is to be positioned and fix the
door lintel to the bottom side of the top girt with three
10x16mm self-drilling screws. Ensure that the lintel
is located so the front lip protrudes by approximately
20mm (Figure 5.0).
Determine which side the door will open and fix a jamb
to the lintel with two 10x16 self-drilling screws on each
side (Figure 5.1).
The door girts should be cut to size on-site as to fit on
either side of the door between the columns and door jamb.
The lengths cut will dictate the door positioning. From one
column, determine how far in the door is to be positioned.
Use this measurement to cut a length of girt to size (Figure
5.2). To create the second door girt, 880mm is to be
removed from the remaining length (Figure 5.2).

SECURING COLUMNS
Fixing in to Ground with Concrete
If fixing the columns into the ground, carefully tilt each
side panel into position and place the columns in the holes
(Fig. 4.0). Temporarily brace in position and check the wall
height is 1950mm. If necessary adjust the depth of the
hole, or alternatively cut a small amount from the column.
Fixing on to Ground with Footing Plates
If fixing the columns with footing brackets, columns will
need to be cut to length. Slide the footing bracket into
the bottom of the column and fasten with 2 12x20 self-
drilling screws either side as illustrated in Figure 3.0.
Make sure each column is vertical, using a spirit level.
Tilt each gable end into position and temporarily brace.
Note: The columns are not to be bolted to the concrete
slab, or secured with concrete, at this Stage.

the distance between the top of the jamb and the column
and maintaining this distance between the jamb and the
column along the length of the jamb.
Adjust the other jamb to suit the width of the door and
screw to the door lintel.
Fix the remaining door girt between the column and door
jamb as completed previously.
Doors can be positioned at corners, with the jamb
positioned against the column and secured to the beam
brackets affixed to the column (Figure 5.5).
Flashings (Figure 5.6 & 5.7) can then be fastened as
detailed in ‘Walling & Flashing Installation’.

Pan fix the 1840mm long corrugated sheet to the door
frame with 10x16mm self-drilling screws. Note that the
door frame is the full width of the corrugated sheet.
Cap each side of the door with the door flashing supplied.
Fasten with four pop rivets at 550mm centres (Figure 6.0).
To fix the “T” bar handle to the door, drill an 11mm
diameter hole directly into the corrugated sheeting and
the central 25x25mm tube support of the door frame
approximately 75mm in from the edge. Fix the door
handle with two 12x45 self-drilling screws. Slide the door
tongue striker over the handle shaft and fasten (this is
sometimes best left until after the door has been hanged).
Attaching Wall Sheeting
After the door has been fixed, start the installation of
the corrugated wall sheets from one gable end and work
toward the other gable end wall, making sure the overlaps
are facing away from the main viewing angle (Figure 7.0).
Wherethedoorinterruptsthesheetingrun,startsheeting
from the door opening and work towards each end. Note
that the wall sheets will need to be notched at the lintel
(Figure 7.1). The sheet edge can then be folded back so it
tucks behind the door jamb and around the lintel.

As required, use a spirit level to adjust the columns and
door jambs to create an easy to open, yet secure, door,
whilst maintaining a square framework for the overall shed
structure.

Note: When installing a double-door along a side wall in an
H1 model, the wall sheets alongside the door frame will be
created from a single sheet cut on-site. The widths of the
resultant sheets will be determined by the door girt widths.
Attaching Corner Flashing
Corner flashings are to be trimmed at one end to suit
the rafter angle at each corner. Once trimmed position
the corner flashings against the corrugated sheeting in
each corner and pop rivet the corner flashings to the wall
sheets at every 600mm (Figure 7.3).
Attaching Door Flashings
Door trim flashing is to be positioned on the outside corners
of the door jambs and pop riveted every 600mm (Figure 6.0).
The door lintel flashing is to cover the door lintel and is
secured through the front face using at least two 10x16
self-drilling screws (Figure 7.4 & 7.5).
For doors positioned at gable ends a door trim flashing
is used in conjunction with a gable door apron (Figure
7.6). The gable door apron fits beneath the gable wall
sheets and is secured to the upper horizonal girt using
10x16 self-drilling screws through the sheets and apron.
An extra piece of door trim flashing is provided to cover
the lintel. The door trim is secured through the front face
using at least two 10x16 self-drilling screws (Figure 7.6).

Two doorsmust be assembled.The first doorwill becreated
in the same manner as with single door units (see ‘Door
Assembly & Installation’). The side on which the handle is
placed will determine which side this door is positioned.
The second door is to be assembled as a mirror image of
the first door, except no handle is used. Instead, before
fastening the corrugated sheet, secure a double-door
bracket to the middle of the door frame using a 10x16 self-
drilling screw (Figure 9.3).
INSTALLING DOUBLE-DOORS
Double-doors are installed in the same manner as single
doors (see ‘Installing the Door Jamb’), but the installer
must increase the spacing between door jambs as to
accommodate for an extra door (Figure 9.0).
The spacing between jambs should be approximately
1750mm.
When cutting the door girts to size from the supplied
length, rather than removing 880mm from the remaining
length, 1750mm must be removed (Figure 9.1).
An extended door lintel must be used to span the
distance between the jambs and fastened as per single-
door installation (Figure 9.0).
An extended door lintel flashing must be fastened over
the door lintels as per single-door installation (Figure 9.2)

WINDOW INSTALLATION
Figure 8.0
When installing a louvre window the walling sheets must
betrimmed to create an opening forthe window to situate
(Figure 8.0). The louvre window is to rest upon either the
extra end girt at a gable-end (H1, H2, or H4) (See ‘Gable
End Assembly’), or nest against the top girt on any side
wall or H3 gable-end. Contact against these girts will
provide extra strength and rigidity when fastened.
See ‘Gable End Assembly’ for girt construction details.
After the window opening has been created in the
walling, the louvre window can be inserted and fastened
using 10x16mm self-drilling screws through the window
frame and the outside sheeting (Figure 8.1).

Once both doors are assembled, fasten two 100x75 butt
hinges to each frame on the appropriate sides using
10x16 wafer head screws. Hang doors as detailed in
‘Door Assembly & Installation’.
Note: Be sure the clearance between doors is not tight
and both doors can open freely when unlatched.
A drop-bolt is also required on the second door. Position
the drop-bolt on the bottom-inside corner of the second
door frame. Secure using two 10x16 wafer head screws
(Figure 9.4). When the shed is fully installed and both

doors are closed and square, mark out the drop bolt
position & create a locating hole in the ground.
A pad-bolt must also be installed at the top of the second
door. Secure the pad-bolt to the top of the door frame
of the second door using two 10x16 wafer head screws
(Figure 9.5).
A hole must be drilled through the second double-door
bracket as to fit the pad-bolt. The double-door bracket
must then be fastened within the lintel, lining the hole up
with the pad-bolt when the door is in a closed position
(Figure 9.5). Use two 10x16 self-drilling screws to secure.
GUTTER & DOWNPIPE INSTALLATION
Gutter Assembly
The gutters supplied may need to be trimmed to length.
The length of the gutter should equal the distance along
the side wall, from the outside face of each gable end.
Pop rivet a left and right-hand stop end to each length of
gutter and seal with silicone (Figure 10.0).
Cut a hole for the downpipe outlet at the end of the gutter
where the downpipe is to be positioned (Figure 10.0).
Secure the outlet into position with four rivets and seal
with silicone.

ROOFING & CAPPING INSTALLATION
Attaching Roof Sheeting
Fix the roof sheets, starting from one end of the shed. Ensure
the first sheet is square with the frame and that the roof
sheets overhang into the gutter by approximately 50 mm.
Crest fix the sheets with 12x35mm self-drilling screws
with neoprene washers, using 5 screws per sheet, per
girt. Remember the last sheet may need a greater overlap
to ensure the roof finishes as close as possible to the end
of the shed.
If gutter has not been attached, fix the sheeting capping
to the edge of the corrugated roof sheets with pop rivets
at 300mm centres (Figure 11.1 & 11.2).

Gutter Installation
Crest fix the supplied gutter brackets 20mm from the
top of the wall sheets at 1200mm centres with 10x16
self-drilling screws as illustrated in Figure 10.1.
Be sure to include a slight fall along the gutter towards
the downpipe end, as this will encourage draining.
Once the gutter brackets have been installed, roll the
gutter bead onto the gutter bracket and clip the back of
the gutter into position.
Downpipe Installation
Fit the downpipe to the pre-installed downpipe outlet
using pop rivets. Fix against the wall sheets using
downpipe straps and pop rivets (Figure 10.2).

Attaching Barge Rolls & Ridge Capping
The barge roll must be fixed to the roof sheets at 600mm
centres using 12x35 self-drilling screws with neoprene
washers (Figure 11.0 & 11.3). Notch the end of the barge
if a gutter has been fixed. Cap each length of barge with
a painted post cap as shown in Figure 11.3.
Note: Do not over screw as the barge will ripple.
Fit the ridge capping flush with the end of the barge,
fastening at 600mm centres with 12x35 self-drilling
screws (Figure 11.0). The ridge capping should be at a
length approximately 100mm longer than the gutter.

If fixing onto a concrete slab, the footing plates must be
bolted in using three M6x40 masonry anchors, and the
door jamb using a 45mm angle bracket with an M10x20
hex head bolt and M6x40 masonry anchor.
Note: Concrete is to have a minimum strength of 20MPa.
The corner hole on each footing plate will be easily
accessed. When the unit is square and level in its finalised
position, secure all footing plates to the ground through
this hole using an M6x40 masonry anchor (Figure 12.0).
Beginning on only one side of the shed, carefully remove
the 10x16 self-drilling screws securing the wall sheeting
to the lower girt (Figure 12.1). These screws must be
kept for re-fastening the wall sheets.

When the wall sheets are loose from the lower girt,
unfasten the 10x16 self-drilling screws that secure the
lower girt to the beam bracket (Figure 12.2). These
screws must be kept for re-fastening the lower girt.
Now the lower girt should be free to remove from the
unit (Figure 12.3).
This has now created enough space to secure the footing
plate with M6x40 masonry anchors through the remaining
accessible holes (Figure 12.4). When the exposed footing
plate holes have been secured, the lower girt can be re-
positioned within the beam brackets and re-secured to the
beam brackets and wall sheets.
Repeat this process around the unit as to fasten all
footing bracket holes.

MAINTENANCE
FIXING A SPIRE
Drill a 12mm diameter hole into the corrugated sheeting directly in line
with the apex of the ridge.
The hole should be approximately 192mm (for 700mm spire) from the
top of the ridge.
Fix the spire to the top of the ridge with one 12x35 self-drilling screw as
illustrated in Figure 13.0.
Remove one nut and washer
from the bolt welded at the
base of the spire.
Check the spire is vertical and
plumb with a spirit level, and
thread the bolt through the
12mm hole. Fasten with the
remaining washer and nut and
seal with silicone.
