Step 1: Back Wall:
Select one 2.545m Base Plate (Green), one
2.545m Top Plate (Red) and three Studs (Yellow). Lay out
Plates and two Studs on a flat surface and nail together using
two 75mm nails per join. Nail in remaining centre stud using
1.205m Nogs to get correct position. Position Nogs .883m
down from Top Plate and nail in place.
Step 2:
Front Wall:
Select one 2.545m Base Plate (Green), one
2.545m Top Plate (Red), four Studs (Yellow) and two .785m
Nogs. Nail studs to each end of Plates. Nail in remaining two
studs using the .785m Nogs to get correct position. Position
Nogs .883m down from Top Plate and nail in place.
Step 3:
Select two 1.715m Base Plates (Green) and two 1.715m Top
Plates (Red). With front wall lying on the ground, nail Plates to
frame. Ensure Green joins to Green and Red joins to Red.
Step 4:
Position the back wall frame on top of plates. While someone
supports frame, nail in place.
Step 5:
Carefully roll frame over onto its base. (Pieces of timber
from the packaging may be used to temporarily brace the
frame before rolling it over). Position 1.625 End Wall
Nogs .883m down from Top Plate and nail in place. If fitting
a Kiwi Floor, fit Floor Joists now. Place joists equally and
nail in place using three 75mm nails per end.
Step 6:
Position a Jack Stud centrally on 1.715m End Wall Top
Plates and skew nail in place with two 75mm nails per Jack
Stud. Position Ridge Beam centrally on Jack Studs and
skew nail in place using two 75mm nails each end. Pre
-
drilling holes before nailing will prevent timber from splitting.

Note:
If fitting a window in the Back Wall, there will be no centre stud on that side. Instead nail in a full length Nog
(2.455) using Window Studs (.883) to get correct height. Position one Window Stud centrally beneath the Nog
and nail in place. Further window studs and Nogs are fitted after the cladding is on.
Note:
For sheds with the Raised Floor Modification option the studs will be 1.780m long to allow the Wall
Sheets to protrude 20mm below the Bottom Plate. Refer to Raised Floor Modification section (Page 15).
