INSTRUCTIONS
TIG/INS55

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, mber can be aected during various weather condions. For the duraon of
heavy or extended periods of rain, swelling of the wooden panels may occur. Warping 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 migated. 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 an appropriate high-quality oil or solvent based preservave AFTER assembly, both internally and
externally, and annually thereaer. All glazing units must be sealed (internally and externally) with silicone or
other waterght sealant.
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 rm and level and is built on rm ground, to prevent distoron.
The constructed base must be at least the size of product as referenced in supplied construct diagram. It is also
recommended that the oor be at least 25mm above the surrounding ground level to avoid ooding.
TYPES OF BASE
• Durable plasc grid*.
• Concrete 75mm laid on top of 75mm hard-core.
• Slabs laid on 50mm of sharp sand.
• 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 gersheds.com for details.

CAUTION:
It is advisable to wear gloves
during building installaon.

*TigerSkin®Water Based Treatment:
The unique formula of our TigerSkin® pre-treatment provides a reassuring layer of protecon for your shed or summer
house. Each panel is carefully dipped and dried to provide maximum coverage and ensure that your building will have
protecon 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 mber, it also gives it a warm tone that looks great on your property. Once erected, your building
should be treated annually, both internally and externally with an appropriate high-quality oil or solvent based preservave.

• Secure roof panels to the side panels using N100 through all upright framing in side panels. (Detail E3)
• Secure roof panels to the gables using 3x N40 through the angled framing. (Detail E3)
Step 6:
INSTALL ROOF PANELS

slight gap between the roof panels at the apex
of shed. (Detail F1)
• Secure apex purlins by pushing panels together and
xing with 10x N100 evenly spaced through each
side along length per panel. (Detail F2)
TOP TIP
You may need someone to hold roof
panels together while you secure
roof panels at the apex.
TOP TIP
If your roof panels do not sit correctly, it suggests the building is not
sing square. Check that the building isn’t twisted by liing two
opposite corners of the building to straighten it out. This should bring
the roof panels into alignment for you to nail into posion.

Step 7:
FELTING THE ROOF - MEASURE AND CUT BEFORE FITTING
• Roll felt out onto a clean at surface 30 minutes before you need it so it has a chance to aen out.
• Measure length of roof and allow 35mm overhang at each end. Cut each strip of felt to size.
Use a straight edge to guide cung.
• Roll cut felt piece along low side of roof, Secon 1, leaving sucient overhang to fold down onto roof edge.
• Do not fold underneath roof. (Detail G1 & G2)
• Once felt is rolled out, x felt to roof boards using CN13 at each end, making sure the felt is straight. Fix to
roof skirng at approx. 100mm intervals. (Detail G3)
• Ensure the felt is ght, then secure the top side of felt using CN13 at approx. 100mm intervals.
• Repeat for remaining felt, working from the low side of roof to the high side, overlapping the felt by 75mm
unl the roof is fully covered.
• Fold the overhanging felt at ends under roof panel and tack in place.
