1. Floor section
Prepare a level area for the shed to sit. To the bottom of the floor, attach two floor bearers flush with the short edges
of the floor using 4 x 30mm nails. Nail through the floor panel into the bearers. Attach the remaining two bearers spaced
evenly between the first two in the same way.
2. Wall panels
Position the back panel and a side panel on the floor as shown. Note how the panel frames sit on the floor with the panel
cladding overhanging the floor edge. Ensure square and secure using 3 x 50mm screws, screw through the frame of the
side panel into the frame of the back panel. Attach the other side panel in the same way. Then add the front panel.
It is recommended to drill pilot holes
for each screw before assembly.

Important note
When positioning the shed, it is recommended that
adequate provision is made to ensure ground contact is
avoided and air is able to circulate underneath the building.
Placing the building on a concrete pad or slab base is
acceptable provided that the building is not allowed to sit in
pooled water during wet conditions.
If the building is to sit on soil or grass it
MUST
be erected
on pressure treated wooden 50mm x 50mm or similar
bearers
(These are not supplied in the kit).
Rowlinson Garden Products recommend using pressure
treated bearers with all buildings on any type of base.

Lay the roof felt centrally over the roof. On one side fold over the felt so it covers the felt batten and secure to the batten
using 10 x 10mm felt nails. Tension the felt over the roof and fold the felt over the other felt batten and secure using
10 x 10mm to the batten. Dress the felt down over the front and back and secure each using 6 x 10mm felt nails. If
necessary trim off any excess felt.

4. Roof Panels
Insert the roof purlin into the gap at the apex of the front and back panel framing, secure in place using 2 x 63mm screws.
Secure a felt batten to each roof panel using 4 x 30mm nails as shown. Ensure the felt batten is flush to the edges of the
panels. Position the roof panels onto the assembly, make sure the top edges are located at the apex and the roof is
centred front and back to the body of the shed, secure the panels in place using 8 x 30mm nails per panel. Nail through
the roof into the panel frames.
3. Securing the walls to the floor
Ensure the panels are sitting square on the floor. Secure the front and rear panels using 2 x 50mm screws per panel,
screw through the panel frames and floor into the centre floor joists. Secure the side panels from the outside using
2 x 30mm nails, nail through the panel cladding into the side of the floor.
It is recommended
to drill pilot holes
for each screw
before assembly.

6. Coverstrips, bargeboards & finials
Fit a coverstrip into each corner, attach using 3 x 30mm nails per strip. To the front and rear of the shed, secure the
bargeboards so that the top edge is flush with the roof line and the two boards meet evenly at the apex secure using
3 x 30mm nails per board. At the front and rear of the assembly, attach the finials at the apex over the join between the
bargeboards using 2 x 30mm nails per finial
