Step 3: Select two 2.545m Base Plates (Green) and two

2.545m Top Plates (Red). With front wall lying on the

ground, nail Plates to frame. Ensure Green joins to

Green and Red joins to Red.

Step 4: Position the back wall frame on top of plates. While

someone supports frame, nail in place. Nail in centre

Stud using 1.180m End Wall Nogs to get correct posi-

tion.

Step 6: Position a Jack Stud on each end of Ridge Beam and

nail in place using two 75mm nails each end (fig. 1).

Turnover Ridge Beam / Jack Studs, position centrally

on 2.545m Top Plates and nail to Top Plates using

fig. 1

Step 5: Carefully roll frame over onto its base. (Pieces of timber

from the packaging may be used to temporarily brace

the frame before rolling it over). Position 1.180m End

Wall Nogs .883m down from Top Plate and nail in

place. If fitting a Kiwi Floor, fit Floor Joists now. Space

joists equally and nail in place using three 75mm nails

per end.

Note: If fitting a window, there will be no centre stud on the window side. Instead nail in a full length nog (2.405 in

Gable or 4.120 in Back Wall) using window studs (.883) to get correct height. Position one window stud cen-

trally beneath the nog and nail in place. Further window studs and Nogs are fitted after the cladding is on.

Note: For sheds with the Raised Floor Modification option the studs will be 1.780m long to allow the Wall Sheets to pro-

trude 20mm below the Bottom Plate. Refer to Raised Floor Modification section (Page 15).

Step 1: Back Wall: Select one 4.210m Base Plate (Green),

one 4.210m Top Plate (Red) and four Studs (Yellow).

Lay out Plates and two Studs on a flat surface and nail

together using two 75mm nails per join. Nail in remain-

ing centre studs using 1.343m Nogs to get correct posi-

tion. Position Nogs .883m below Top Plate and nail in

place.

Step 2: Front Wall: Select one 4.210m Base Plate (Green),

one 4.210m Top Plate (Red), four Studs (Yellow) and

two 1.185m Nogs. Nail studs to each end of Plates.

Nail in remaining two studs using 1.185m Nogs to get

correct position. Position Nogs .883m below Top Plate

and nail in place.

MK4A WALL CLADDING

TO AVIOD CORROSION:

 Where at all possible try not to trap metal filings between two sheets. Remove all metal filings before riveting.

 Carbon in pencils reacts with the Zinc/Aluminium coating on steel. Use ink to mark steel.

TERMS EXPLANATION

 To Tack: To Tack on a wall sheet means to use minimum nails hammered partly in to hold Wall Sheets in position. Should

a Wall Sheet need to be re-positioned, the nails can easily be prized out.

 If a window is required, identify Wall Sheet(s) with window hole pre-cut. Lean up Wall Sheets where window(s) are to be located.

Note:

When fitting Gable

End Sheets en-

sure they overlap

correctly (fig 1).

The overlap direc-

tion may differ

from cladding de-

tail.

CLADDING DETAIL

MK4A WALL CLADDING

Step 1: Front Wall: Start at the left hand side. Posi-

tion the Wall Sheet with the LIP on the left hand

side. Ensuring the LIP is flush with side of the

Stud and the top of the Top Plate, tack in place.

Repeat with Wall Sheet on the right hand side

of doorway. Ensure Rib without LIP is on the

right hand side of stud then tack in place. Posi-

tion 1/2 Wall Sheets as shown in the Cladding

Detail and tack in place.

Step 2: Back Wall: Position the first Wall Sheet with

the LIP on the right hand side. Ensuring the LIP

is flush with the side of the Studs and the top of

the Wall Sheet is flush with the top of the Top

Plate, tack in place. Position the next Wall

Sheet with the LIP on the right hand side. Over-

lap as shown in (fig 1). Ensuring Wall Sheet is

flush with top of Top Plate, tack in place. Re-

peat with remaining three sheets.

Step 4: Nailing Off: Nail one 30mm Clout each side of the Rib (two per Pan) into the Top Plates and Bottom

Plates. Nail Wall Sheets to mid wall Nogs (one per pan). Nail each corner Wall Sheet to Studs using two

30mm Clouts evenly spaced.

Gable Ends: When nailing Gable Wall Sheets to the Top Plate, use a String Line. At the top of the gable nail two

30mm Clouts into the end of the Ridge Beam. This will stop it from twisting.

Step 3: End Walls: Lean Gable Wall Sheets against

the shed to form gable shape. With the LIP

flush with side of Stud tack in place ensuring

the bottom of the Wall Sheet is 10mm above

the bottom of the Bottom Plate. Tack on re-

maining Wall Sheets. Repeat with other gable

end. If fitting a window, nail in Window Studs

and Nog now. Refer to Window instructions.

Step 2: On the inside of the shed, position studs

and Nog centrally on window opening.

Make sure the studs are parallel and nail

into Top Plate and end wall Nog.

Step 3: Nail wall Sheets to window framing using

30mm clouts. (return to step 4 on page 7

and complete). Then fit Window Frame).

Position Window Frame centrally on win-

dow opening and rivet it to ribs. Pre-drill

holes in each corner and nail Window

Frame to framing, using 50mm nails.

Step 4: If the Window is in the gable end, tempo-

rarily position the Over Panel above Win-

dow Frame. Following the same angle as

the gable, mark and cut to suit.

Step 5: Rivet Over Panel to the Window Frame

with rivets.

588mm

Step 1: Lay out the two window studs (883mm) and

Nog (634mm) on a flat surface. Position

Nog and nail in place using 2x 75mm nails

at each end.

Step 6: From the inside of the shed, slide Louvre

Glass into Louvre Units attached to the

Window Frame. Bend up tabs to keep

Glass in position.

NAILS

RIVITS

Step1: Fit Door Jamb Flashing (A104) in be-

tween Top and Bottom Plates and hard

against Stud. Attach Door Jamb Flash-

ing with three 30mm clouts into studs on

the inside and three 50 mm nails on the

outside. Pre-drill holes on the outside to

protect flashing. Repeat with the other

Door Jamb.

Step2: Measure and cut Doorstep Flashing (A106)

to fit in between Door Jambs. Positioning

the Doorstep Flashing in between Door

Jambs at bottom of doorway, nail through

top of flashing using five 30mm Clouts. Re-

peat with the Overdoor Flashing (A105).

Step 1: Lay out the two window studs (883mm) and

Nog (590mm) on a flat surface. Position

Nog and nail in place using two 75mm nails

at each end.

570mm

Step 6: From the outside of the shed, place glass

in Window Frame. Attach a Glazing Bead

(G100) with three rivets to each side of the

Window Frame to hold glass in place. Pre-

drilling Glazing Beads is recommended.

MK4A FIXED WINDOW (Optional)

Follow Steps 2 - 5 on page 8.

MK4A DOOR JAMB & CORNER FLASHINGS

Step 3: Fit Corner Flashing (101) over

corner Ribs with the top flush

with the top of the Top Plate.

Rivet in place with six rivets,

three each side. Repeat with

other three Corner Flashings.

When fitting Corner Flashings

on front wall, ensure they are

parallel with Door Jambs.

MK4A ROOF

Note: Condensation can form on the under side of shed roof. If building paper is required, fit now. Building paper will

need to be supported by netting or roofing twine.

Step 1: Check that the diagonal measurements of the shed are the same. If building on unlevel ground it may be neces-

sary to temporarily brace the shed with pieces of timber from the packaging.

Step 2: Position first Roof Sheet centrally over Ridge

Beam on the right hand end of shed with the

LIP on the left hand side. (For sheds with a

Clear Roof Panel, go to the next page). Posi-

tion the next Roof Sheet. Ensure it overlaps

correctly then rivet together, one rivet in the

centre and one 600mm down from the centre

on both sides. Fit remaining Roof Sheets.

Step 4: Centralize Roof at the other end and nail

through pan into Ridge Beam and Top

Plates. Ensure Ridge Beam is straight, then

nail one 40mm Weatherseal into Ridge Beam

beside each overlap (one nail per sheet). At

the back, set up a String Line in centre of

Top Plate. Ensure Top Plate is straight and

nail off, using one 40mm Weatherseal per

Pan. Repeat at the front.

LIP

Step 3: Starting from the left hand end, centralise

Roof on Ridge Beam. Ensure Roof is tight

against end Wall Sheets and nail one 40mm

Weatherseal through Lip into the Ridge

Beam. At the back, line up Ribs on the Roof

Sheet with the Ribs on Wall Sheet. Using

one 40mm Weatherseal, nail through Lip into

Top Plate. Repeat at the front.
