12
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.
SELECT:
4 x 1.110 m Roof Sheets
1 x 2.055 m Spouting
1 x 2.055 m Ridge
2 x 1.110 m Barges

IMPORTANT
Use 50mm Clouts only on outside ribs covered by Barge flashings and back
wall top plate. Predrill holes using a 3.5mm drill bit. Use Roofing Screws on all
other ribs, ensuring screws are not overtightened as this can damage the seals
and can cause the shed to leak.
STEP 1:

Ensure Shed is sitting level and square.
•
Lay Roof Sheets on the Top Plates.
•
Rivet sheets together at overlaps with 2 x rivets per join
(fig.1).
IMPORTANT—FOR SHEDS WITH OPTIONAL CLEAR ROOF PANEL
Assemble as below, making sure that the Clear Roof Sheets overlap the stand-
ard roof sheets on both sides. Pre drill and fasten with the 50mm roofing
screws provided.
STEP 2:
•
Position the Roof Sheets with the back lining up with the outside
edge of the back wall cladding as in (
fig.4)
.
•
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.
•
Using 11 x 50mm clouts, nail the roof sheets to the back Top
Plate, through each rib.

Using 11 x 50mm roofing screws, screw the roof sheets to the
front Top Plate, through each rib.
