Before You Begin
● Check local building codes regarding shed location and any other local requirements.
● Check the packing list on page iv to make sure you have all of the necessary parts.
● Separate everything in the cartons by the part number while reviewing the parts list.
● Be sure the day you select to build your shed is dry and calm.
●Whenever possible, two or more people should work together to assemble the shed.
We suggest that one person positions parts while the other handles the fasteners and tools.
Before assembly, decide on a location for your building. We recommend a level area with
good drainage. Allow enough space around the building so there’s plenty of room to screw
the panels and then move the different parts into position. Remember to leave plenty of
room for the door to fully open.
● An electric drill/driver
● A Phillips screwdriver
● Gardening or work gloves
● Sealant or caulking gum (optional )
● Step ladder
●Tape measure
Safety First
Safety precautions are important to follow throughout the construction of your building.
●Take care when handling the various pieces of your building since some contain sharp
edges. Please wear work gloves, eye protection and long sleeves when assembling or
performing any maintenance.
● Keep children and pets away from your worksite to avoid distractions and any accidents.
● Never concentrate all your weight on the roof of the structure. When using a step ladder
make sure it’s fully open and on a level surface.
●To avoid any damage, do not attempt to assemble the building on a windy day. The larger
panels can act as sails making construction difficult and unsafe.

Selecting & Preparing Your Site

Flooring & Foundations
A solid shed starts with a level floor and foundation. This is the single most important factor in making your
shed as watertight and stable as possible. It also makes the assembly process as simple as possible.
We recommend the following foundation options:
OPTION 1 - WOODEN FLOOR
We sell wooden floor kits designedto match your shed. Alternatively you can build your own using H4 treated
bearersandtimber floorboards.
● Build on a compacted and levelled base layer
● Plastic sheeting placed under the wood or concrete will prevent moisture wicking through
● We recommend the foundation is the same size as the footprint of your shed to prevent water ingress
ii
Regardless of which flooring option you choose
OPTION 2 - CONCRETE SLAB
For a more permanent solution, or for large sheds, we recommend a concrete foundation.

Assembly Overview

Step 8:
Step 10: Assemble the door
Handy Tips Before You Begin
How to drill rivet holes in panels – Use a 4.2mm drill bit , set your drill clutch to the drill bit icon. Make a
mark where you want to drill and use this to start the hole.
Drilling tek-screws – Drilling tek screws into the panels can sometimes cause the corrugation to buckle
in, making it tricky to get the screw all the way in. An easy fix for this is to place a small block of wood
underneath the corrugation as you drill, providing support for the panel until the screw is all the way in.
Make sure the block is not directly underneath the screw.
How to remove rivets if needed – Don’t worry if you have placed a rivet incorrectly or you need to
adjust a panel, they are easy to remove. Just drill directly through the top of the rivet using the same drill
bit you used to make the hole. This will remove the rivet head, causing the whole rivet to fall out.
OTHER TIPS
●Very Important – make sure you remove metal drill filings to prevent corrosion and scratches.
Removing metal filing andavoiding scratching the shed during assembly will help prevent any
corrosion later on.
● Peeloff partnumber stickersandclean soap/water.
● Use silicone to further weatherproof seals around the shed (not included).

To form a flush corner connection,
make sure the end corrugations
overlap as shown above.When
adding the lower corner brackets,
place a spirit level or block of wood
underneath the corner of the shed.
This will ensure that the two walls
being connected stay square as you
drill the screws in.
OPTIONAL - Once you have all four walls upandsecure, we suggest that you run sealant
between the overlapping panels on each corner of the shed. Thiswill protect itfrom
heavy weather. Afterwards, tack the sheets together down the length of each corner.
To form aflush corner, make
sure flaps overlap.

When attaching roof panels, align them to the central roof beam, NOT to the walls
as these may shift during final fixing. Screw the panels to the central beam first, this
leaves some play available should you need to adjust the roof or walls to ensure the
best possible fit. Secure the roof to the wall channels when everything is square.

Attach the door hinges 1 ‘hinge length’ from
each end of the door. To do this, place the
hinge flush with the end of the door frame
and make a mark on the frame at the end
of the hinge. Now move the hinge down
until it is level with mark, drill holes for your
rivets and attach.
Use the drill bit to drill pilot holes through the
door bracing into the door sheeting.Flip the
door back over to the front side facing up.
Using the pilot holes drilled before, fix the door
bracing from the front with Rivet and Spacer.

When first fitting doors, attach the hinges to the shed

Once you are happy that your shed is square, level and situated where

Door Adjustment Tips
Check that the doors are properly aligned when closed, then if needed adjust door
frame/jamb/hinges accordingly. To create or reduce space, adjust the door frames
(which have been left unfastened as per Step 3 - C) by sliding them back and forth
until the doors sit square. Once you are happy with the door position, add screws to
secure the left and right door frames (#ML180, #MR 180). If your shed is not square,
more adjustment of screw placement may be needed.
