trally beneath the nog and nail in place. Further window studs and Nogs are fitted after the cladding is on.

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).
