-
side of the roof).
Clout Nails
8. Bargeboards and Finials
40mm Nails
8.a
Fit the bargeboards to
the roof panels, trapping
the overhanging end of the
felt in between to provide a
weatherproof seal.
8.b
Secure the diamond
finials over the top of the
bargeboards.
9.a
Glaze the windows by securing
the glass or styrene from the inside
with the panel pins supplied.
Important:
All windows must be
sealed inside and out with silicone or
any other watertight solution of your
choice (not supplied).
Panel Pins
9. Windows
Tip:
Leaving the backing film on whilst
installing will prevent scratches on
your styrene or glass.
7.c
Fold the overhanging felt at the
gable ends under the roof boards
and tack in place, you could cut the
felt at the corners to make it fit if you
wish.
7.b
Use clout nails to tack along top edge of felt in to framing.
Repeat this process on the other side of the roof.
7.d
On these wider sheds you
will be provided extra felt to
cover the ridge of the building.
The ridge piece should overlap
the lower strips of felt equally
on either side and leave approx
75mm (3’’) of felt overhanging
each end.

Joining the Floor Panels
These are simply butted up against each other. There is no need for any other fixings as the weight of the shed, which is built on
top, will hold them together. Don’t forget to attach the heavy duty bearers to the panels, one on each end of the completed floor.
See Image A.
Joining the Side Panels
These are attached using the 50mm screws provided, through the internal framework. You are supplied extra cover strips to cover
this external join. These can be fitted at the end of the build as you would do with smaller models.
See Image B.
Internal Trusses (8ft and 12ft Models Only)
Not to confuse these with the gable tops, they can be identified by cladding fixed to both sides of the framing. The truss should be
fixed by nailing down through the framing in to the side panels using the 65mm nails (Image C). The larger models come with 1
or 2 trusses to support the weight and joins of the roof, because of the way the Flex Apex is manufactured, assembly of the roof/
trusses varies with each size, please
See Image D
and
E
below for instructions on 8x6 and 12x6 roofs.
Roof Panels
These are fitted in much the same way as the smaller model, just to make sure on the larger models that the join of the roof panels
is centred over the truss.
See Image D and E.
If you have the 8x6 or 12x6 model, there are a few extra steps you will need to take to
complete your building.
11. Larger Models
A.
12x6.
Each truss should be positioned to the outside of the join between each side
panel, to make this more accurate, measure 56mm out from the join and use this
as the centre point for your truss. You should then attach the centre roof panel first.
Again make sure the roof panel is centred over the truss.
56mm
8x6:
The truss should be centred over the top
of the join of the two side panels and fixed in
place. The roof can then be fitted in the same
way, making sure the join of the two panels is
over the middle of the truss.
