Handy Tips Before You Begin
How to drill rivet holes in panels – Use a 4.2mm drill bit, set your drill clutch to the drill bit icon. Make a
mark where you want to drill and use this to start the hole.
Drilling tek-screws – Drilling tek screws into the panels can sometimes cause the corrugation to buckle
in, making it tricky to get the screw all the way in. An easy fix for this is to place a small block of wood
underneath the corrugation as you drill, providing support for the panel until the screw is all the way in.
Make sure the block is not directly underneath the screw.
How to remove rivets if needed – Don’t worry if you have placed a rivet incorrectly or you need to
adjust a panel, they are easy to remove. Just drill directly through the top of the rivet using the same drill
bit you used to make the hole. This will remove the rivet head, causing the whole rivet to fall out.
OTHER TIPS
● Very Important – make sure you remove metal drill filings to prevent corrosion and scratches.
Removing metal filing and avoiding scratching the shed during assembly will help prevent any
corrosion later on.
● Peel off part number stickers and clean soap/water.
● Use silicone to further weatherproof seals around the shed (not included).
