Assembly

Once you are satisfied that you have constructed a solid base for your garden building that provides a firm and level base throughout it is time to begin the assembly process. All of our garden buildings come with comprehensive self-assembly instructions and certain manufacturers also supply additional PDF or video guides to simplify the process:

Wooden Sheds & Summerhouses

Most of our wooden sheds and summerhouse ranges can be broken down in to two broad categories:
Apex roof style sheds – with a two part ‘apex’ style roof  •  Pent roof style sheds – with a single piece flat sloping roof


Please find below a helpful text-based overview of the Apex assembly slideshow:

    • Before assembly can begin, it is essential that a firm and level base is in position. This base must support the full floor area of the shed and should be measured using a spirit level to ensure accuracy.
    • Once the base is in place, lay the floor panel in the desired position.
    • Offer-up the edge of the first side wall panel against the edge of the first gable panel. Screw the corners of the two panels together with the 4.5 x 75mm screws provided.
    • Secure the wall panel to the end gable using the screws provided, one towards the top of the exterior gable edge and one towards the bottom.
    • Place the second gable panel against the second wall panel and secure in the remaining corners using screws as in previous steps.
    • Ensure that the side panels are at right angles to the gables and tighten the screws if required. Secure the sides and gables to the floor panel with the 4,5 x 75mm screws provided.
    • Lay the roof panels into position and fix together along the ridge with the 4.5 x 75mm screws supplied. Then secure the roof in place by Screwing the gables and side frames to Roof.
    • All Windows come fully glazed.
    • Secure the corner strips at each corner of the shed with the 38mm nails provided.
    • Roll out the mineral roofing felt along the lower part of both sides of the roof allowing for sufficient overhang to fold down onto the roof framing. Ensure that the felt is tight and use 13mm clout nails provided to tack the top end of the felt to the roof.
    • Please note: on certain models where the felt does not cover the apex of the roof, use an additional strip to cover the ridge and secure with clout nails. This extra piece is supplied when required.
    • Ensure that the mineral roofing felt is pulled tight across the whole roof and use the remaining clout nails to tack it to the framing and to the underside of the roof overhang.
    • Fit the Fascia boards to the roof panels at each end, trapping the overhanging felt to provide a weather seal. Secure the diamond peaks over the joint of the Fascia boards to complete your apex garden shed.

  • Place the second gable panel against the second wall panel and secure in the remaining corners using 4.5 x 75mm screws supplied as in previous steps.
  • Ensure that the side panels are at right angles to the gables and tighten the screws if required. Secure the sides and gables to the floor panel with the 4.5 x 75mm screws supplied.
  • Lay the roof panel into position, and, after ensuring the overhang of the roof is equal on all sides, Then secure the roof in place by Screwing the gables and side frames to Roof with the 4.5 x 75mm screws supplied.
  • Roll out the mineral roofing felt adjacent to the back (low side) wall, allowing for sufficient overhang to fold down onto the roof framing. Ensure that the felt is tight and use clout nails to tack the top end of the felt on to the roof. Roll out the next width of felt, overlapping the previous, and again allow for sufficient overhang to fold down onto the roof framing.
  • Ensure that the mineral roofing felt is pulled tight across the whole roof and use the remaining clout nails to tack it to the framing.
  • All Windows come fully glazed.
  • Secure the corner strips at each corner of the shed with the 38mm nails provided. Fit the Fascia boards to the roof across the front and two end gables, trapping the overhanging felt to provide a weather seal and complete your pent shed.
