1 The shed should be positioned on a concrete plinth or slab
bed as this will extend the longevity of the shed as it is not in
contact with the ground. The job of erecting the shed will be
easier working on a flat base as well.
2 Fix together the two base
panels using 70mm screws
and position the completed
base on level ground chosen
for the site.
3 Now position one side panel
and the back panel together
in a right angle to support
themselves. Have help at
hand until the panels are fixed
together using 70mm screws
(each corner will need 3 x
screws).
4 You should now be able to
leave the L-shaped panels to
free stand until you attach the
remaining side panels, again
using 70mm screws to fix the
panels together. Finally add
the front panel.

have been screwed together
and the free standing shed
is sturdy, level and makes
a perfect rectangle. This is
important as the roof will not
fit easily if the sides are not
level.
6 Once you are happy the shed
is sturdy you can fix the shed
to the base panel. Use the
same size screws as you used
on the sides (70mm)
7 Now attach the roof trusses,
spacing them equal distances
apart, using 70mm screws.
8 With help from someone to
hold a ladder, place the four
roof panels on top of the
trusses making sure they butt
up to each other with little or
no gap in the middle and fix
in place. Make sure you are
using 40mm screws and that
you are screwing through into
the trusses from above.
Assembly Instructions 8’ x 6’ Shed
9 The 4” featheredge trims
can be fitted to the gaps
under the roof, on the side
panels. Using the 40mm
nails fit the trims with an
overlap of roughly one inch.
Do not nail less than one inch
from the edge of the boards
as they will split.
12 The felt edges need to be
neatly creased over and fixed
in place using the felt nails.
Any edges will be hidden
when you fit the fascias. Trim
off any excess with a sharp
knife.
10 The vertical trims of timber
can be attached to the
corners of the shed and the
joins on the sides. Use the
50mm screws, one top,
middle and bottom.
13 The fascias can now be
attached to the front and
back using the 50mm
screws. The boards should
meet in the middle, on
the angle. The two timber
diamond finishing plates
can be nailed on top of the
joins.
The side fascias can now be
attached.
All that remains now is a
final check. Make sure all
the corners are flush and the
shed is sturdy. 11 Felting the roof will require
some help again and ladders.
Carefully roll out each half
in situ on the roof panels
lengthways. Make sure there
is at least a 60mm overhang all the way around the
edges.

Maintenance
All the timbers (excluding the base panel) used within your shed are TANALISED which means
they have been impregnated with next generation TANALITH E wood preservative using vacuum,
high pressure technology to give long term protection against fungal decay and insect attack.
This robust and durable protection means there is no need to apply any additional brush-on
preservative product.
You may however wish to apply a stain or paint to the timbers. Please ensure the timbers are completely dry prior to
painting and refer to the coating manufacturer’s instructions.
If you find the instructions difficult to follow or need any ‘over-the-phone’ assistance whilst assembling the product,
please do not hesitate to contact Bond Timber.
