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 1.180m End
Wall Nogs .883m down from Top Plate and nail in
place. If fitting a Kiwi Floor, fit Floor Joists now. Space
joists equally and nail in place using three 75mm nails
per end.
Note:
If fitting a window, there will be no centre stud on the window side. Instead nail in a full length nog (2.405 in
Gable or 4.120 in Back Wall) using window studs (.883) to get correct height. Position one window stud cen-
trally 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 pro-
trude 20mm below the Bottom Plate. Refer to Raised Floor Modification section (Page 15).

one 4.210m Top Plate (Red) and four Studs (Yellow).
Lay out Plates and two Studs on a flat surface and nail
together using two 75mm nails per join. Nail in remain-
ing centre studs using 1.343m Nogs to get correct posi-
tion. Position Nogs .883m below Top Plate and nail in
place.
Step 2: Front Wall:
Select one 4.210m Base Plate (Green),
one 4.210m Top Plate (Red), four Studs (Yellow) and
two 1.185m Nogs. Nail studs to each end of Plates.
Nail in remaining two studs using 1.185m Nogs to get
correct position. Position Nogs .883m below Top Plate
