GENERAL ASSEMBLY
INSTRUCTIONS
INS04

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
• Check the pack and make sure you have all the parts listed.
• When you are ready to start, make sure you have the right tools at hand (not supplied).
• Ensure there is plenty of space and a clean, dry area for assembly.
TIMBER
As with all natural materials, timber can be affected during various weather conditions. For the duration of heavy
or extended periods of rain, swelling of the wood panels may occur. Warping, cupping or contraction of the wood
may also occur during excessive dry spells due to an interior moisture loss. Unfortunately, these processes cannot
be avoided but can be mitigated. It is suggested that the outdoor building is sprayed with water during extended
periods of warm sunshine and sheltered as much as possible during rain or snow.
To validate your guarantee and ensure longevity of the product, it is ESSENTIAL that your building is treated with
a suitable wood preserver or paint AFTER assembly, both internally and externally.
BUILDING A BASE
Care must be taken to ensure the product is placed on a suitable base. When thinking about where the building
and base is going to be constructed: Ensure that there will be access to all sides for maintenance work and annual
treatment.
Ensure the base is level and is built on rm ground, to prevent distortion. Refer to diagrams for the base
dimensions which can be found on the product page at tigersheds.com, it is recommended that the base should be
slightly smaller than the external measurement of the building, i.e. The cladding should overlap the base, creating
a run off for water. It is also recommended that the oor be at least 25mm above the surrounding ground level to
avoid ooding.
TYPES OF BASE
• Durable plastic grid.
• Slabs laid on 50mm of sharp sand.
• Concrete 75mm laid on top of 75mm hard-core.
• Timber Base - Self constructed/Buy pre-made.
*We recommend a Fastt EcoBase for your building. It is durable, lightweight, exible and easy to put in place.
Please see tigersheds.com for details.

* TigerSkin®Water Based Treatment:
The unique formula of our TigerSkin® pre-treatment provides a reassuring layer of protection for your shed or summer
house. Each panel is carefully dipped and dried to provide maximum coverage, and ensure that your building will have
protection from the moment it arrives and is assembled. A water repellent formula which is harmless to plants, not only
does it help to shield the timber, it also gives it a warm tone that looks great on your property. Once erected, your building
should be treated regularly.

ROOF COVERING OPTIONS
All Tiger buildings are designed to use TigerFelt® high grade poly-backed durable mineral roong felt. If you have
chosen a different roof covering option – such as EPDM rubberised roof covering or Shed Shingles, please see
their separate roong instructions available on their product pages at tigersheds.com.
MAINTENANCE
To validate your guarantee and ensure longevity of the product, it is ESSENTIAL that your building is treated with
a suitable wood preserver or paint either BEFORE or AFTER assembly, both internally and externally. For the
continued protection for unpainted areas of your garden building we recommend maintaining your timber treat-
ment with TigerSkin®preserver. This solvent based wood treatment will penetrate deep into the wood giving
years of protection against the weather and also enhance timber grain with a rich long lasting protection. A water
repellent formula which is harmless to plants when dry, it is available in a wide range of colours to refresh the look
and feel of your garden building. Discover more at tigersheds.com.

• Assembly is relatively straightforward if you follow these step by step instructions.
• We recommend getting everything aligned properly before screwing together and that
screw holes should be pre-drilled to avoid splitting the timber. (Do not come pre-drilled).
IMPORTANT
• Before assembly please make sure you have a suitable base ready to erect your building on.
• This base MUST be rm and level to ensure that the building is assembled properly and lines up.
• Please carefully unpack the components in your delivery, and remove the timber supports that make up the
delivery pallet.
• CAUTION: Parts may have moved during transportation. Be careful when unpacking supplied shed.
• DO NOT start your build until you have checked that all the parts of your building are present, correct and in a
suitable condition.
• Pre-drilling screw holes is recommended to reduce the chances of the timber framing splitting.
• If you are organising a third party to install your building, it is best practice not to schedule this immediately on receipt of your
order, to give you time to check your delivery.
