IMPORTANT

 

Use 50mm Clouts only on outside ribs covered by Barge flashings. Predrill 
holes using a 3.5mm drill bit. Use Roofing Screws on all other ribs.

• 

Lay Roof Sheets on the Top Plates.

STEP 2:

 

 

•

• 

Using 4 x 50mm Clouts, predrill and nail the Roof Sheets to the Top 
Plates through the ribs, at each corner, ensuring ribs on the Roof 
Sheets line up with ribs on the Wall Sheets (

fig.2

).

 

STEP 3:

 

 

• 

Ensure the Front and Back Top Plates are straight. 

 

• 

Screw the roof sheets to the front & back Top Plates, using 1 x 
Roofing Screw per rib. (

fig.2

STEP 4:

 

 

 

• 

Place barge flashings on roof at end of shed ensuring the diagonal 
trimmed end is at the front. (See diagram on pg 5)

 

 

• 

Rivet the Barge Flashings to the roof and the side wall, using four
