Step 1: End Walls:
Select 1 x 0.876m End Base Plate
(Green), 1 x 0.876m End Top Plate (Red) and 2 x
Studs (Yellow). Lay out Plates and two Studs on
a flat surface and nail together using two 75mm
nails per join. Position 0.786m Nog 0.883m down
from Top Plate and nail in place. Repeat with
other end wall.
Step 3:
Select one 3.380m Base Plate (Green) and one
3.380m Top Plate (45 x 45). Nail in place. Ensure
Green joins to Green.
Step 4:
Carefully roll the frame over so that the Ridge
Beam and Base Plate (Green) are on the top.
Select two studs (Yellow), one .785m Nog and
one 1.622m Nog. Nail in studs using Nogs to get
correct position ensuring the 0.785 Nog is to the
right of the door (see diagram 4) . Nail in Studs
using the .785m nogs to get the correct position
top and bottom. Position nogs .883m down from
the bottom of the Top Plate and nail in place.

Carefully roll frame over onto its base. If fitting a
Kiwi Floor, fit Floor Joist now. Place the joist cen-
trally and nail in place using three 75mm nails
per end.

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).
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 (3.290) 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.
