Step 1: Back Wall: Select one 4.210m Base Plate (Green), one
4.210m Top Plate (Red) and six Studs (Yellow). Lay out Plates
and two Studs on a flat surface and nail together using two
75mm nails per join. Nail in remaining centre studs using Nogs
to get correct position. Position Nogs .883m below Top Plate
and nail in place. (All Plates, Studs and Nogs are joined to-
gether with two 75mm nails each end).
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 re-
maining two studs using 1.185m Nogs to get correct posi-
tion. Position Nogs .883m below Top Plate and nail in
place.
Step 3: End Wall: Select one 4.210m Base Plate (Green), one
4.210m Top Plate (Red), four Studs (Yellow) and three
Nogs. Lay out Plates and one Stud on a flat surface and
nail Stud centrally between Plates. Nail remaining Studs to
Plates using 0.770m Nogs to get the correct position. Posi-
tion Nogs 0.883m below Top Plate and nail in place. Repeat
with second End Frame.

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

Step 4: Stand up Back Wall frame and one End frame
and nail together, using two 75mm nails per join,
top and bottom. Stand remaining Frames up and
nail together. Nail in remaining 0.786m Nogs in
End Walls.
Step 5: Position middle Jack Stud, centrally on End Wall
Top Plates and nail in place. Nail remaining Jack
Studs in. Position middle Ridge Beam to Jack
Stud and skew-nail in place using two 75mm
nails each end. Pre-drilling holes before nailing
will prevent timber from splitting.
Step 6: Place intermediate Roof Beams by using Roofing
Nogs to determine correct position (see fig. 2).
Nail intermediate Roof Beams in place. Nail
70x45mm Roofing Nogs in place (End Wall) and
90x45mm Roofing Nogs in place (Middle).
Step 7: Place Frame in correct position, checking the shed is square and level.
Dynabolt Frame to concrete base as instructed on page 4.
Step 8: Temporarily brace each side and roof, making sure each side is square.
Nail strip bracing to outside of Frame (see page 4), making sure it is tight.
Nail multigrip brackets to each of the four bottom corners (two per cor-
ner). Use 30mm bracket nails supplied.
Note: Condensation can form on the underside of cladding. If building paper is required, fit now. The building paper
will need to be supported by netting or roofing twine.

MK4C 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.

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 Stud 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 (page 7). Ensuring Wall
Sheet is flush with top of Top Plate, tack in
place. Repeat with remaining 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 each 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.
