INSTRUCTIONSAND VIDEOSGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS・

Before commencing any assembly, read through these instructions in detail to gain athorough 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 the following 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.

・

It is recommended that the shed be set on a 100mm rebated concrete slab and anchoreddown appropriately (refer to last page for details). A flat slab with a chamfered edge can beused but will not result in optimum results. IF USING A REBATE ENSURE ALL FRAME
UPRIGHTS ARE TRIMMED 25mm.

・

Anchor sets are not supplied as standard items with this product as some customers wish
to use their own anchoring systems.

TOOLS REQUIREDOPTIONAL

Normal: 3mm

Normal: 4mm & 10mm
Masonry: 10mm

A NOTE ON SAFETY
・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.

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 perimeterchannels are secured to the top andbottom of each panel using thesnaptite system, as detailed on thefollowing pages wherever you see
the symbol. SNAPSN

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 ofconcrete slab.

HIG

FASTENING SYMBOLSD

IDE

Each perimeter channel must finish flush with theedges of the sheets. the snap-tite system allows
adjustment for this process by simply tapping thechannel along the sheets until each end is neatly flush.
If you need to remove channels from the panels, pull
the channel along the panel from opposing ends. You
may need someone to help with this.

Join components together by pre-drilling the holes
first. Use one component as a template to mark where
the holes are. Drill with 3mm drill bit.
Join components together with one screw at thislocation only, as some channel sections have extra
holes that are not required for this model of garden
shed
Do not join components together at this location yet,as the screw may obstruct further assembly of othercomponents

THE 2993mm LONG PANELS NOW NEED TO BE JOINED TOGETHER, TO MAKE ONECONTINUOUS PANEL, FOR EACH ROOF AND WALL SECTION. THE PERIMETERCHANNELS WILL HAVE TO BE REDUCED IN LENGTH EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT OF THE
OVERLAP, AS SHOWN BELOW.

TRIM THE PERIMETERCHANNELS BY 16.5mm TO
ALLOW EDGE RIBS OF THE

OVERLAP THE PANELS AND SECURE WITH SCREWS AS SHOWN.
REFER TO THE PANEL CONSTRUCTION SECTION OF THIS INSTRUCTION FOR FURTHER
DETAILS, AND ENSURE THAT THE PANELS ARE NOT JOINED TOGETHER WITH
PRE-PUNCHED HOLES INCORRECTLY POSITIONED.

THE OVERALL LENGTH OF EACH PANEL SHOULD BE THE SAMELENGTH AS THE RIDGE BEAM, WHICH IS 5953mm.

RIDGE BEAM/PANEL LENGTH = 2993

ABSCO SHEDS - STORAGE GUIDELINES
ABSCO SHEDS include garden sheds, garden beds, storage units, aviaries,
garages, awnings and carports.
ABSCO SHEDS are designed to be weatherproof for normal weather
conditions. In the event of extreme weather conditi ons such as heavy rain,
combined with high wind gusts, the ridge capping, sheeting joins, screw
ﬁxings 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 inﬂuence the effects of concrete ﬂoor 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 th e above conditions may
require additional protection such as being sealed or covered by plastic
sheets and/or stacked above the concrete ﬂoor on timber slats.
Waterproof sealants may be used to offer further pr otection where requiredaround joins and screw ﬁxings, 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 steelbuilding arising from any of the pre-mentioned weather conditions.
