Installation of doors and completion
GB
Place the door sill in position in the door opening on the bottom
frame. When the Biohort floor frame is used (see photo) secure the
sill to the floor frame with self-tapping screws/washers, whereby the
Z-angle provided must be positioned between sill and frame before-
hand. When erecting the shed without the floor frame, secure the sill
to the surface blow, with dowels when applicable.
After securing, bend the positioning flaps of the sill down by 90°.
Now attach the bottom hinge on the door post with 2 carriage bolts/
washers/nuts. Tighten the nuts immediately.
With the assistance of another person, hang the door onto the bot-
tom hinge.
Now position the upper hinge on the hinge already attached to the
door unit and secure this tightly to the door post, again using 2 carri-
age bolts/washers/nuts.
The emergency interior door release can now be fitted inside the
door with 2 hexagonal self-tapping screws.
Attach the large bracket for the gas spring damper to the alumini-
um top profile of the front wall element with 2 carriage bolts/washers/
nuts as shown in the photo. Tighten these nuts immediately.
The small bracket for the gas spring damper should now be
attached to the door. The necessary holes for fitting will be found on
the top side of the door near the hinge.
The bracket is secured with 4 stainless steel hexagonal self-tapping
screws and washers. Please tighten these screws carefully.
Now push the gas spring damper (snap connectors) into place onto
the ball-ended pins of the brackets as shown in the photos.
Now install the corner panelling floor seals (black plastic) in the bot-
tom of the front, rounded corner panelling to prevent rodents entering
the shed here.
The garden shed can now be brought into position as desired (also
by means of pushing).
Position it as accurately and true as possible. Where necessary add
packing underneath to ensure it is level.
Adjust the front walls to ensure a vertical gap to the door of appro-
ximately 4mm, do this by sliding the still loose front wall panels
within the long holes of the top and floor profiles.
When you are satisfied that the gap is sufficient and the door can be
easily opened and closed, tighten the nuts of the front walls first of
all.
Now is the time to ensure that all outstanding connections are
added: i.e. all the bolts/washers/nuts or screws for the side walls,
roof panels – and especially retainers for the Perspex fanlight enclos-
ure and the support element between this and the front roof.
Only now can all the nuts be securely tightened with the socket
wrench provided.
Carefully check to see that no connections have been overlooked
during the assembly!
All self-tapping screws must be tightened, however this should be
done with due care and none of the screws should be over-tightened.
Once all of the connections have been tightened, push the white
plastic caps provided over exposed bolt and screw ends.
Now is the time to ensure that the garden shed is anchored
against storms.
WITH FLOOR FRAME: by means of the Z-angles provided, the
garden shed can be secured to an appropriate foundation with bolt/
washer/dowel combinations or directly into the ground with earth
anchors. (See instructions in floor frame packet).
To bore the necessary holes an impact drill or hammer drill and 10mm
masonry drill bit will be required.
WITHOUT FLOOR FRAME: the shed can be fastened with the bolts/
washers/dowels provided, through the holes already provided in the
bottom frames, to an appropriate foundation.
To bore the necessary holes an impact drill or hammer drill and 10mm
masonry drill bit will be required.
