  • Page 12 As you can see, the floor panels with the full board will be central (so join with the groove of one panel meeting the groove of the joining panel) and the cut board will be to the edge of the building – You now need to join the floor panels together.
  • Page 13 5. Leaving the floor panels upside down you can join to the next row of floor panels using 6 x 50mm screws per join as follows: 6. At this stage we would advise turning these floor panels back the right way round. If you continue to add and join more floor panels you will find it very difficult to turn them back over.

  • Page 15: Door

    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. The key is screwed to the back of the door.

Secure these panels together from the inside using the 50mm screws provided using three screws per join. Important! When securing panels together ensure they line up at the top (so the building is square) and that only the ends of the cladding are shown, which will later be covered with corner strips.
  • Page 18 7. Place another wall panel and again secure using the 50mm screws provided. Again, use three screws per join. 8. Continue doing this to place all remaining wall panels in position. 9. 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.

    1. Using the 40mm galvanised nails, fit the bargeboards to the roof panels and secure the diamond finials over the top of the bargeboards. 2.

  • Page 26 When screwing the shelving into position, ensure they are fixed to the internal framing of the shed and not the cladding 1. The staging units are designed to fit our Power Potting Shed window panels (however can be attached to any shed in our range), being fixed against the internal framing of the shed with the 70mm screws.
