BEFORE YOU START
Please read through these instructions to familiarise yourself with your shed. We recommend that you
check all the
components
using the lists found on the front and back pages before you start to build.
All of our sheds are constructed in the same way. They simply come with different components depending on the type
of shed you have. Don’t worry if your fixing pack contains some spare items at the end of the build (you haven’t missed
a bit!) we have sent you a generic fixing pack to suit the shed range.
Please take care when unpacking, handling and assemblying the toughened safety glass windows. We recommend
wearing cut-resistant gloves in the event of a breakage, as it will disintegrate into small pieces.
It’s vital that you build your new shed on a
solid, level base.
Timber or Plastic Shed Bases are
ideal, as is solid concrete or concrete slabs.
We recommend using the following tools (not supplied):
If you have an existing base and think it’s suitable for your new shed to be sited on, it is
important you check that it is level and doesn’t deviate by any more than 15mm from edge to
edge. If this isn’t the case the building will twist, causing gaps to appear in the sections and the
roof, doors and windows to misalign.
There’s more information on base preparation on our website

Assembly is relatively straightforward if your 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.
