INTERNAL FRAMING:

3.4m x 5.5m x 2.17m

MOST OF THESE CHANNEL SECTIONS

HAVE BEEN BRANDED WITH PART

NUMBERS FOR EASY IDENTIFICATION,

AND PACKED IN SEPARATE BUNDLES FOR

EACH FRAME TYPE. (REFER TO THE

PARTS LIST ON PAGES 4 & 5)

THE INTERNAL FRAMING OF THE

GARAGE IS CONSTRUCTED FROM 80mm

x 40mm GALVANISED STEEL CHANNEL

SECTION, SIMILAR TO SECTIONS USED IN

DOMESTIC STEEL HOUSE FRAMING.

IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO PRE-CHECK THESE SECTIONS AS THEY ARE PRODUCED USING

STATE OF THE ART ROLL-FORMING EQUIPMENT. IT IS ADVISABLE TO ONLY OPEN EACH

BUNDLE AS YOU BEGIN TO ASSEMBLE EACH INDIVIDUAL FRAME SECTION. BY DOING THIS,

YOU WILL AVOID GETTING SIMILAR LENGTH SECTIONS WITH DIFFERENT NOTCHING

PATTERNS MIXED TOGETHER.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

A NOTE ON SAFETY

Local council approval must be obtained prior to construction of the garage. Once

you have selected your site you will need to create and lodge a site plan to your

local council or certifier. You will also have to attach a copy of the engineering

drawings at the back of these instructions to your site plan.

The site for the garage must be level, refer to concrete and foundation notes on

attached engineers drawings.

Before commencing any assembly, read through these instructions and engineers

drawings in detail to gain a thorough understanding of assembly methods and

associated details.

Some components have been pre-punched. Some 10mm holes will still have to be

drilled. It may be easier to drill a small pilot hole first.

Measure, and check off all components using the parts lists on pages 4-9 prior to

commencement.

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.

It is highly recommended to erect the garage with at least two or more people.

HELPFULL HINTS

(P'DOOR IS NOT SUPPLIED WITH THIS GARAGE UNLESS ORDERED SEPARATELY

WITH THE GARAGE) WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CORNER SHEET POSITIONS, THE P'

DOOR CAN BE LOCATED IN ANY SINGLE SHEET LOCATION, IN EITHER SIDE WALL,

PROVIDING THAT IT DOES NOT FOUL WITH CENTRE FRAME LEGS.

DO NOT CUT ANY COMPONENTS TO A DIFFERENT SIZE, UNLESS IT IS CLEARLY

NOTED IN THIS INSTRUCTION TO DO SO. DIMENSIONS IN THIS ASSEMBLY

INSTRUCTION ARE EXACT, WHERE AS DIMENSIONS NOTED ON THE ENGINEERING

PLANS ARE APPROXIMATE. DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT

COMPONENT FOR THE CORRECT LOCATION.

AS NOTED ON PAGE ONE, PART NUMBERS HAVE BEEN PRINTED ON MOST 80 x 40

CHANNEL SECTIONS. ALL OTHER COMPONENTS HAVE NOT BEEN MARKED WITH PART

NUMBERS, BUT CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY THEIR DESCRIPTION, SIZE AND SKETCHES

AS YOU PROGRESS, MULTIPLY THE NUMBER OF SHEETS REMAINING BY 740mm, WHICH

SHOULD BE THE SAME AS THE DISTANCE LEFT, TO THE CENTRE OF THE OUTSIDE RIB

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 conditions 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 the 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 protection where required around 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, floor moisture, condensation or the condition of the Contents inside your Absco steel building arising from any of the pre-mentioned weather conditions.
