ROOF ASSEMBLY
SELECT:
4 x 0.770 m Roof Sheets
1 x 2.225 m Spouting
1 x 2.225m Ridge
2 x 0.770 m Barges
13 x 50mm Roofing Screws
33 x Rivets
17 x 50mm Clouts
STEP 1:
• Ensure Shed is sitting level and square.
• Lay Roof Sheets on the Top Plates.
• Rivet sheets together at overlaps with 2 x rivets per join (fig.1).
STEP 2:
• Position the Roof Sheets with the back lining up with the outside
edge of the back wall cladding as in (fig.4).
• Using 4 x 50mm Clouts, predrill and nail the Roof Sheets to the Top
Plates through the ribs, at each corner, ensuring ribs on the Roof
Sheets line up with ribs on the Wall Sheets (fig.2).
STEP 3:
• Ensure the Front and Back Top Plates are straight.
• Using 11 x 50mm clouts, nail the roof sheets to the back Top
Plate, through each rib.
• Using 11 x 50mm roofing screws, screw the roof sheets to the
front Top Plate, through each rib.
STEP 4:
• Place Barge Flashing on roof at end of shed ensuring the diagonal
trimmed end is at the front. (See diagram on pg 5)
• Rivet the Barge Flashing to the roof and the side wall, using two
rivets on top of barge and two into the side (fig.3).
STEP 5:
• Place the Ridge in position ensuring flashing does not extend past
side wall cladding.
• Rivet Ridge to roof and back wall, riveting at the ends and at each
join of the roof sheets (fig. 4).
STEP 6:
• Place spouting in position and rivet to Barge Flashings at each end
and rivet to roof sheets (1 rivet per 1 sheet) (fig.5).
IMPORTANT
Use 50mm Clouts only on outside ribs covered by Barge flashings and back
wall top plate. Use Roofing Screws on all other ribs. Predrill holes using a
3.5mm drill bit. Ensuring screws are not overtightened as this can damage the
seal and cause the shed to leak.
IMPORTANT—FOR SHEDS WITH OPTIONAL CLEAR ROOF PANEL
Assemble as below, making sure that the Clear Roof Sheets overlap the stand-
ard roof sheets on both sides. Pre drill and fasten with the 50mm roofing
screws provided.
