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 "COMPONENTS PACKING LIST" pages.

• Local authority approval must be obtained prior to construction of the shed. Once you have selected your site you will need to lodge a site plan to your local council.

SITE PREPARATION

• The site for the shed must be level. An uneven surface may result in misalignment of parts.

• The shed shall be erected on top of a reinforced concrete slab and anchored down appropriately illustrated on “FINAL CONSTRUCTION” page. If using a rebated slab ensure that all frame uprights are trimmed 25mm.

TOOLS REQUIRED

SAFETY NOTES

• 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.

• It is highly recommended to erect the shed with two or more people.

SNAPTiTE ASSEMBLY GUIDE

The Snaptite Assembly System locks end channels to all roof and wall sheets without the need for tools and fasteners.

To assemble each panel, the perimeter channels are secured to the top and bottom of each panel.Gently tap the channel over the SNAPTiTE lugs on the sheet, working along the sheet.

Each perimeter channel must fi nish fl ush with the edges of the sheets. Simply tap the channel along the sheets until each end is neatly fl ush. If you need to remove channels from the panels, slide it off from the side.

Channel locks the shed panel into position without the need for screws!

FASTENING SYMBOLS

Secure channel to sheeting by SNAPTiTE fastening method.

Join components together with one screw at this location only, as some channels have extra holes that are not required for this model of shed.

Do not join components together at this location yet, as the screws may obstruct further assembly of the other components.

Join components together by pre-drill-ing the holes fi rst. Use one component as template to mark where the holes are and drill with a 3mm drill bit.

3mm pop rivet

4mm nut and bolt set.

Guide on Joining Spliced ChannelsThe text marked on all parts must be shown on the same side as each other

Step 1.Position the channels and the CSJ joiner so the centre of the CSJ is in line with the end of each channel to be joiner together.

Step 2.Join the fi rst channel to the CSJ by inserting the centre of the CSJ, on an angle, to the end of the channel where the JOIN>> text is marked.

Push down one side of the CSJ until you hear a ‘click’.

Step 3.Join the second channel to the CSJ by positioning the <<JOIN of the channel at the centre of the CSJ, on an angle. Push the CSJ into the channel until you hear a ‘click’.

Finished Channel.The joined channels should now look like the picture with the CSJ positioned equally inside of the joined channels.

Drill out holes with 3mm drill bit in CSJ to match the holes in channel and secure with the screws supplied.These may have to be temporarily removed during assembly.

Guide on Joining a Spliced Ridge BeamFollow these three steps to assemble a ridge beam.

Step 1.Place two ridge beams as shown and push them together. Slide the cap of one under the other.

NOTE.There is a 50mm overlap of the ridge caps when the beams are in position.

Step 2.Use the ZARSP to connect at the centre of the two ridge beams. Be sure it is pushed in fully.

Step 3.Turn over the ridge beam. Measure 250mm from the middle along the centre of one ridge beam, mark spacings of 50mm. Fasten with a Tek screw at each marking.

Repeat to the other side of the ridge beam assembly.

TIP: Predrilling each hole with the 3mm drill bit makes it easier to fasten.

To make the total span we must now join sections of sheeting together for the roof and wall.

Refer to the panel construction section of this instruction set for further details and ensure that the assembled panels are not joined together with pre-punched holes incorrectly positioned.

The overall length of each panel is the same as the ridge beam.

Trim the channels by 16.5mm to allow the sheets to be overlapped.

Overlap the panels and fasten as shown.

It is not critical that the overall dimension is exact but try and make sure the length is within 5mm.

NOTE: If you have a slab with an edge rebate in your concrete slab, you will have to cut an amount off the bottom of the frame legs equal to the depth of the rebate.

TIP: An easy way to make sure that the angle at the top of the portal frame is correct is to use the gable wall panel as a template to lay the sections out. As the portal frame fits inside the walls, the width of the frame will be 40mm less than the gable wall panel.

Absco Sheds Storage Guidelines

• 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 fi xings 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 infl uence the effects of concrete fl oor 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 fl oor on timber slats.

• Waterproof sealants may be used to offer further protection where required around joins and screw fi xings, 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, fl oor moisture, condensation or the condition of the Contents inside your Absco steel building arising from any of the pre-mentioned weather conditions.
