Step 7:
Installation
Tip
Use the handle end of a hammer in
the inside of the corner, but beware
of drilling holes on the end of your
hammer.
Important
• Do not attempt to assemble panels
in rain or windy conditions.
• Make sure your foundations are
squared and level before erecting
panels.
• It is easier to remove all swarf
(filings) before you stand your
walls up.
• Complete all panels before
erecting your shed.
• Keep a firm grip on panels when
handling. If they slip they will
cause damage.
• Always wear non-slip gloves,
protective footwear and eyewear.

Side wall assembly
1.
Stand up the back wall and as your helping hand is holding
it up, bring the left end wall in to meet it at the left corner
(diagram 1) overlapping the corners (diagram 2). Drill and fix
at approximately 100mm down from the top and up from the
bottom, drilling and fixing from the outside.
2.
Bring the right end wall into the right back corner and perform
the same again, checking to make sure the walls are sitting flat
at the bottom.
3.
Bring the front wall into place and join the front corners to
the end walls, same as the back (diagram 3).
4.
Finish joining the corners by fixing at approximately
200-300mm apart. You will find it easier to drill these
corners if they are supported on the inside (see tip).
Fixing the roof
5.
With a person at each end of the roof panel with the Ridge
beam attached, waft it over top of your upright walls and lower
down on top. Have your helping hand go inside and make sure
the roof panel is centralised by having the ridge beam sitting
right on the apex of the channel at the peak of the end wall. Fix
the “L” through the top channel to both end walls at the 1st rib
in from the lowest corner making sure it is still centralised. The
ridge beam will not be held down at this stage.
6.
Now waft the 2nd roof panel onto the walls, slipping it into
the ridge beam. Make sure it is sitting firmly into ridge beam
and then fix it to the inside flange of the ridge up underneath.
(Fig 2) Now finish off fixing the “L” to the top channels at both
ends. Fix at 300mm apart and also through end of ridge beam
into “L”. If you find the roof is binding and not wanting to sit
squarely on the walls, this will be caused by unlevel site or
walls are not square. Adjust accordingly.
7.
Using the ladder and the tape measure, fix down through the
top of the roof, through the pan into the top channel of the front
and the back walls (10mm more than the overhang). Fix beside
every second rib. You will not need to worry about these fixings
leaking as any water seeping through these fixings will end up
on the outside of the walls.
Fit the door braces and install shed
8.
Fit the door braces, if not already done so. Check that all
filings/swarf is removed.
9.
Important: Fix your shed down to its foundations. If your
foundations are unlevel or bowed, you will have problems with
your padbolt and door levels. This can be fixed by slipping a
spade under either door jamb and lifting. You will soon get a
feel for which side needs propping up.
