    We also strongly advise you to wear safety glasses when installing the felt to protect your eyes. Power Sheds Ltd cannot be held responsible for any damage or injury sustained due to incorrect unloading, unpacking, or assembly of any of our products.
  • Page 4 If you have not chosen to purchase our Power Base then other suitable bases would include a concrete base (75mm of concrete on top of 75mm of hardcore) or a paving slab base (slabs laid on top of 50mm of sharp sand).

    40mm galvanised nails If you have ordered a Power Base, you will also receive 80mm and 100mm screws. Please note 35mm screws are not needed for a pent (this is a standard pack used for both pent and apex sheds) Pre Assembly 1.
  • Page 8 For floors over 12ft long this method should be followed but to do it in two halves. USEFUL TIP! – If you have purchased a POWER Base you can screw the floor to the timber POWER base below for maximum strength and security.
  • Page 9 Door 1. Your shed will either come with a single door or a double door depending on what you selected when ordering. Double doors are already hung on the door panel. However, for a single door you will need to hang the door. For a single door you can choose which way round to hang it –...
  • Page 10 5. If your Power shed is 6ft wide (4x6, 6x6, 8x6, 10x6, 12x6, 14x6, 16x6, 18x6, 20x6) then you will need to position one of the 2ft blank panels next to the 4ft wall panel you have chosen to complete the 6ft gable end.
  • Page 11 7. Continue doing this to place all remaining wall panels in position. 8. When you have secured all the wall panels (door panel, 2ft and 4ft blank panels, window panels) you then need to secure these to the floor using 70mm screws provided. Screw approximately into the floor with 2x screws for every wall panel (internally) ensuring the screws are driven through the framing at the bottom of the side/gable walls, through the floor boards and into the floor joists.
  • Page 12 Front Top and Gables 1. Add the pent front top to the side you want to be higher and screw to the panels below with 50mm screws. 2. Line up the gable tops with the panels at the gable ends (the ends where you attached the ‘heavy duty bearers’) and secure them to the wall panels with 50mm screws from the inside, screwing...
  • Page 13 Roof 1. Depending on the size building you have ordered, your roof panels will be 2ft wide or 4ft wide. Place the roof panels in place so that the framing on the roof panel runs parallel with the gables i.e. from the front high side to the back low side.
  • Page 14 Felt Health and Safety – Use safety goggles when installing the roofing felt. 1. Before laying the felt, you will need to attach the back bargeboards with the 40mm galvanised nails. As you can see there are two for the back – one at the edge of the roof and one on the underside.

    2. Secure corner strips at each corner of your Power shed with 40mm nails (at least four per strip). Extra strips are provided to cover any joins between side wall panels.
  • Page 16 Power Base Installation Instructions 1. The Power Base will be made up from the pressure treated timbers in the pack (this is the 100mm x 50mm timber). Please check the base diagram which is in your base fixing pack. Note – for any time you screw some timber together, we suggest that you pre-drill the timber with a 3mm drill bit before inserting the screws.
  • Page 17 Take extra care to brush treatment into all wooden components inside and outside. Feel free to change the colour of the building giving you the ‘power’ to style it your own way. Check your base Although your base should be level at the time of assembly, some bases can move over time and if you find this occurs then the building can twist or door may not close properly.
  • Page 18 Returns If Power is not for you and you’d like to return your shed within 14 days of delivery then we will collect the item from you without charging a collection fee. No fuss, no fees! All we ask is that you do not unpack the shed or take the shed off the pallet. You will be able to see the shed panels on the pallet if you want to double check the quality of the shed panels.
