It is recommended that the floor is at least 25mm above the surrounding ground level to avoid flooding. 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) On the rare occasion that not enough screws are provided please contact us and make us aware so we can send more out to yourself.
70mm screws. This will cover the ends of the floor joists. On our 6x2, 6x3 and 6x4 sizes the bearers will need to run the 6ft length, on our 6x5 and 6x6 sizes the bearers will fix to the gable end as pictured below.
Bike Shed. 3. Start with the 2ft panel that will be part of your 6ft wall – position this on top of the floor panel. Ensure the side of the panel is flush with outer edge of floor (but not overlapping the heavy duty bearer on the 6x5 and 6x6).

5. Keep going until the back wall and both ends are secured together leaving the front section open. 6. Attach the one panel which goes at the side of doors (called the door wings). Again, continue to use 50mm screws (three screws per join). Page 9 of 18...

9. Once the two panels are on which go at the side both sides of the doors (door wings), you can add the door head. This is the part which has the ‘Power’ brand on. To secure these to the panels below you need to screw up through the door wings and into the door head.

Make sure all the side walls are square and aligned at the top 10. When you have secured all the wall panels together you then need to secure these to the floor using 70mm screws provided. Screw 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 floorboards and into the floor joists.
Front Top & Gables The Power Pent Shed can be higher at the front or the back – you can choose this as you assemble it. 1. Add the pent front top to the side you want to be higher and screw to the panels below with 50mm screws.
Roof 1. Your pent will come with one roof panel (if it’s a 6x2 or 6x3) or two roof panels (if it’s 6x4, 6x5 & 6x6). 2. Place the roof panel(s) in place so that the framing on the roof panel run parallel with the gables i.e. from the high side to the low side.
Doors 1. Your shed will come with two doors which you will need to hang. The door with the lock on will go on the right (as you look at the shed from the outside) and the door with the shoot bolts will go on the left. 2.
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. These soffits may come in more than one section and may need cutting down to size with a saw depending on which size shed you have chosen.

There is no bargeboard for the low side as it could trap rainwater from running off the roof. 2. Secure corner strips which are 58mm wide, at each corner of your Power shed with 40mm nails (at least four per strip). Extra strips are provided to cover the joins between side wall panels.

(4x) board lengths (at either 4ft or 6ft depending what you ordered). Please note: These are 70mm wide and are the same material as the bargeboards. Be careful not to use these during assembly of your Power Shed – These boards are usually taped together. •...
