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, four and five. SITE PREPARATION The site for the shed must be level. It is recommended that the shed be set on a 4" concrete slab and anchored down appropriately (refer last page for details). TOOLS REQUIRED OPTIONAL Normal Drills No.30 and /64" A NOTE ON SAFETY Normal 5/64" Masonry 5/64" Some parts may have sharp edges. It is advisable to wear gloves when handling these items and safety glasses if drilling holes. Sensible shoes are highly recommended. Do not erect your shed in windy conditions, ensure that the shed is securely anchored to a solid foundation immediately after construction is completed. It is highly recommended to erect the shed with two or more people. PAGE

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. 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 Position sheets on timbers, trestles or partly over edge of concrete slab. FASTENING SYMBOLS HIGH SIDE 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. 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 8/3" NUT & BOLT SET Once constructed place screw caps over fasteners Do not join components together at this location yet, as the screw may obstruct further assembly of other components PAGE 0
