If your shed has a concrete slab oor, position the frame onto the base. Note: if the shed oor is against a house or fence, you can

position the shed after it has been built (but before you install the roller door).

Please note that the design of the shed means that the wall cladding protrudes below the bottom timber plate. So that you are able

to build the shed properly you will need to temporarily screw some timber blocks under the bottom plate to lift it up so that the wall

cladding clears the ground while you build the shed. These will be removed when the shed is ready to position.

Waterproong is important to prevent leaks and keep the timber framing dry. Your shed has been supplied with a roll of DPC tape (Damp Proof

Course)

If your shed is positioned on a concrete or raised timber oor it is important that you install the DPC before attaching the cladding to prevent water

owing between the bottom plate and oor.

TOP WALL SHEET

• Take a 4000mm length rear wall sheet and hold it in position at the

topofthebackwall.Itmustbeushwiththetopoftoptimberplate

andbothendsmustbeushwiththeoutsideofthestudsateither

end. (Fig. 1)

• Using1x25mmTekscrew,attachoneendofthesheettotheframeat

the top left hand corner of the sheet (Fig.1)(a). Place the screw approx

25mminfromendofthesheet(thecornerashingwillcoverthescrews).

• Repeat at the top of the sheet at the other end making sure that

thecladdingisushwiththetopofthetopplate.(Fig. 1) (b)

NOTE: The middle sheet will need to lap UNDER the top sheet,

so don’t screw right at the bottom of the sheet yet!The top sheet

will nish 848mm below the top of the framing and the second

sheet nisheds 1610mm down (see Wall Cladding Fixing Pattern

on the previous page

• Toxthebottomofthesheet,holdthetopsheetatagainstthe

Repeat the above steps with each side wall until you have

nished the back and two end walls.

--IMPORTANT -- Make sure you align the side wall corrugate

sheets with the back wall so that the ribs line up.

FIXING WALL CLADDING - FRONT

DOOR SIDE CLADDING - TOP SHEET

asbefore.Selecta800mmcladdingsheetandlapitunderneaththe

Tek Screws through the overlap.

• Place2xmore25mmTekscrews2ribsupfromthebottomofthesheet

either side so the next sheet down can lap underneath.

The front wall cladding is attached the same way as the other side walls, except that the bottom cladding sheets either side of the roller door will

overlap a lot more than the side and back walls. This will be explained in the step below “BOTTOM SHEET”.

NOTE: do not place any screws in the bottom of this sheet at this stage!

DOOR SIDE CLADDING - BOTTOM SHEET

NOTE: Because of the Overdoor Cladding Sheet at the top of the front wall, the bottom sheet will lap up under the middle sheet by about 5 ribs.

Providing that the sheets have been positioned correctly, the steel prole will match the side walls.
