2 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Before commencing any assembly, read through these instructions in detail to gain a thorough understanding of assembly methods and associated details. Unpack the carton and carefully identify and check off all the parts against the parts described and illustrated on pages three and four. SITE PREPARATION The site for the aviarie must be level. It is recommended that the aviarie be set on a 100mm concrete slab and anchored down appropriately (refer page 21 for details). Anchor sets are not supplied as standard items with this product. TOOLS REQUIRED 3mm 4mm A NOTE ON SAFETY Some parts may have sharp edges. It is advisable to wear gloves when handling these items and safety glasses if drilling holes.

7 ABSCO ASSEMBLY INTRODUCTION The snap-tite assembly system locks most perimeter channels to all roof and wall sheets without the need for tools and fasteners. Where possible, many components have been pre-punched for ease of assembly, with others requiring 3mm holes to be drilled where required. To pre-assemble the four wall panels and two roof panels, the perimeter channels are secured to the top and bottom of each panel using the snaptite system, as detailed on the following pages wherever you see the symbol. SNAP T TE i HIGH SIDE PUSH HIGH SIDE HIGH SIDE HIGH SIDE PUSH After joining sheets together, position channel over one end of the sheets, gently tapping it over the snaptite lugs, working along the sheets to the other end. PUSH D Position sheets on timbers, trestles or partly over edge of concrete slab. FASTENING SYMBOLS HIGH SIDE Join components together with one screw at this location only, as some channel sections have extra holes that are not required for this model of garden shed Do not join components together at this location yet, as the screw may obstruct further assembly of other components Pre-drill the hole prior to joining components together. Many components will be able to be used as a template to determine drilling locations Each perimeter channel must finish flush with the edges of the sheets. the snap-tite system allows adjustment for this process by simply tapping the channel along the sheets until each end is neatly flush. 3mm POP RIVETS (SMALL FLANGE FOR FITTING DOOR HINGES) 3mm POP RIVETS (LARGE FLANGE FOR FITTING MESH TO FRAMES) PAGE 7

23 ABSCO SHEDS - STORAGE GUIDELINES ABSCO SHEDS include garden sheds, garden beds, storage units, aviaries, garages, awnings and carports. ABSCO SHEDS are designed to be weatherproof for normal weather conditions. In the event of extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, combined with high wind gusts, the ridge capping, sheeting joins, screw fixings etc., may exhibit minor deformations which may allow some water entry. These areas should be checked regularly to ensure that maximum strength and protection is maintained. Other weather conditions such as extreme heat and extreme cold, moist or dry air can influence the effects of concrete floor moisture and/or condensation on the underside of the roof sheets. ABSCO SHEDS and storage units are primarily used for storage of garden equipment such as lawnmowers, wheelbarrows, garden tools etc. Storage items that might be adversely affected by any of the above conditions may require additional protection such as being sealed or covered by plastic sheets and/or stacked above the concrete floor on timber slats. Waterproof sealants may be used to offer further protection where required around joins and screw fixings, as can rubber door seals and other products which are available from most hardware outlets. Placement of waterproof sealants (silicone) between the base of the shed and concrete slab is not recommended, as this process can have a reverse effect, preventing excess water from escaping, resulting with water accumulating and being trapped inside the shed. Absco accepts no responsibility for water entry, floor moisture, condensation or the condition of the Contents inside your Absco steel building arising from any of the pre-mentioned weather conditions. 2 P a g e
