Step 3:
Select two 1.715m Base Plates (Green) and two
1.715m Top Plates (Red). With front wall lying on
the ground, nail Plates to frame. Ensure Green
joins to Green and Red joins to Red.
Step 4:
Position the back wall frame on top of plates.
While someone supports frame, nail in place.
Step 5:
Carefully roll frame over onto its base. (Pieces of
timber from the packaging may be used to tem-
porarily brace the frame before rolling it over).
Position 1.625 End Wall Nogs .883m down from
Top Plate and nail in place. If fitting a Kiwi Floor,
fit Floor Joists now. Space joists equally and nail
in place using three 75mm nails per end.

Step 6:
Position a Jack Stud on each end of Ridge
Beam and nail in place using two 75mm nails
each end (
fig. 1
). Turnover Ridge Beam / Jack
Studs, position centrally on 1.715m Top Plates
and nail to Top Plates using two 75mm nails
per Jack Stud.
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.
Note:
For sheds with the Raised Floor Modification option the studs will be 1.780m long to allow the Wall Sheets to
protrude 20mm below the Bottom Plate. Refer to Raised Floor Modification section (Page 15).
Step 1: Back Wall:
Select one 3.380 Base Plate
(Green), one 3.380m Top Plate (Red) and three
Studs (Yellow). Lay out Plates and two Studs on
a flat surface and nail together using two 75mm
nails per join. Nail in remaining centre stud using
1.622m Nogs to get correct position. Position
Nogs .883m from Top Plate and nail in place.
Step 2: Front Wall:
Select one 3.380 Base Plate
(Green), one 3.380m Top Plate (Red), four Studs
(Yellow), one .785m Nog and one 1.622m Nog.
Nail studs to each end of Plates. Nail in remain-
ing two studs using Nogs to get correct position.
Position Nogs .883m down from Top Plate and
nail in place.
