Basic overview of what I am trying to achieve...

"For those of us who do not like reading instructions...."

Just join the sheets together and fit the channels to the top and bottom of the sheets as a

framing to make 4 walls and the roof. Follow these basic steps:....

Front Wall:

Layout 2 x (A) 1830mm sheet, (C) sheet with door jamb attached and (D) door with the sheet

attached beside them to your preferred configuration and join sheets. Cap the sheets with (F) 3745 channels

(2 sided cutout - Top and 1 sided cutout - bottom). Use (H) Door spacers to make sure door fits gap OK

(they sit on top of the jambs). Drill & Fix (Rivet or screw) at every 2nd rib. Attach door spacer at each end

thru door jambs and channels. 4 fixings underneath into sheeting pan top and bottom. Fit padbolt.

Back:

Join 5 (A) 1830mm Sheets together. Cap with (F) Channels and fix thru every 2nd rib and at least 1

fixing per sheet thru the back of the channel into the pan of the sheeting. More in high wind areas.

Roof

: Join 5 (A) 1200mm Sheets together. Cap with (E) 3745mm Channels. Fix @ every 2nd rib. Attach (G)

1200 "L"s to ribs at each end of sheeting at corners and 400mm apart in between. Same for 2nd roof panel.

Fit Ridge Beam (I) to one of the roof panels and fix through the bottom flange and at ends.

End walls:

Measure 1145mm to centre of (E) 2290mm channels and cut flanges only (not right through). Join 3 (B) sheets

together to form gable wall. Cap with (E) 2255mm channels at bottom and bend 2290 channels over the top. Slip (J) Gable

plates up under top channel in centre of gable and fix to ribs. Fix channels at corners, every 2nd rib in between and in the

centre of the gable. 3 - 4 fixings up underneath into pan of sheeting and gable plate, top and Bottom. Same for other end.

Assembly:

You have now made up your 6 panels. It‟s just, Join the corners and put the roof on! Make sure you have at

least 6 fixings down each corner when you join the walls. Place, centralise & fix the roof panel that has the ridge beam fitted

on thru the "L" into the top channel on both end walls. 1 at each end for now. Place, centre and fix to the other end wall.

Slip the 2nd roof panel into ridge beam and fix. Inside: up into ridge beam and outside: thru "L"s every 400mm. You now

need to fix down thru every 2nd pan in the roof into the top channels on the front and back walls. More in high wind

areas. Please make sure that you have removed all swarf filings as the rust spots that they produce may hinder any war-

ranty claims.

Generally most fixings are spaced at 300mm apart

Keep fixings in the pans as close to the ribs as possible for added strength.

Ribs will always protrude to the outside of the shed.

Extra internal fixings is strongly recommended in high wind areas.

nels.

C. Fix the channels every 2nd rib but not

the corners at this stage

Door Brace Kit

A.The Door braces can be fitted now or

after you have assembled your shed.

B.Tuck one end of the "Z" between the

bottom channel of the inside of the

door and the sheet. Do the same at the

top overlapping in the centre behind the

padbolt. If you have a locking "T" handle

you will have to run the "Z"s the oppo-

site way to the diagram.

C.Fix the "Z"s at the ends and in the cen-

tre to the channel it is tucked under and

thru the overlap in the centre. 2 or 3

more rivets will be required thru the

door sheeting into the "Z", but they will

need

fixed

through from the out-

side of the door for

neater appearance.
