Overview

This manual describes the assembly and maintenance of a Traditional Apex Door Offset Windowless Workshop, available in various sizes under the BILLYOH brand, with product code INS-0046. The workshop is designed for domestic and outdoor use, providing a functional and secure storage solution for garden and workshop needs.

Function Description:

The workshop serves as a robust, windowless outdoor storage building. Its apex roof design provides ample headroom and efficient water run-off, while the offset double door allows for easy access and storage of larger items. The windowless design enhances security and privacy for stored contents.

Important Technical Specifications:

The workshop is available in multiple sizes, categorized by gable length and depth:

  • 10FT GABLE: 10x10, 12x10, 16x10, 20x10
  • 8FT GABLE: 10x8, 12x8, 16x8

The floor sections are available in either 19mm or 28mm Tongue and Groove (TG) construction. Specific floor codes are provided for different sizes and thicknesses:

  • 24657-Assembled-19mm-TG-Floor-D(1490mm)xW(3ft/879mm)
  • 24760-Assembled-28mm-TG-Floor-D(1490mm)xW(3ft/879mm)
  • 24658-Assembled-19mm-TG-Floor-D(1490mm)xW(4ft/1172mm)
  • 24761-Assembled-28mm-TG-Floor-D(1490mm)xW(4ft/1172mm)

The cladding styles include Overlap and Shiplap. Overlap cladding uses rough sawn timber, providing a traditional, unfinished look and economical solution. Shiplap cladding interlocks for greater strength and a smoother finish with continuous lines.

Fasteners used in assembly include:

  • Screws: S70 x 8, S50 x 5, S50 x 4, S50 x 10, S30 x 12, S25 x 2, S25 x 4, S25 x 12
  • Nails: N30 x 12, N40, T10
  • Other components: PP x 16 (Plain Panels), DR x 2 (Door Rebate), CSP x 1 (Cloaking Strip)

The roof is covered with felt, supplied in rolls, with a recommended 70mm overhang at each end. Shingles are also an option for roof covering.

Usage Features:

  • Assembly: The building requires at least two adults for construction. It is crucial to lay a solid, flat, and level base (concrete or flagstone) before assembly to ensure proper fit and structural integrity. The instructions emphasize reading all steps thoroughly, taking breaks if needed, and reacquainting with parts from the packing list. Pilot drilling all screw holes and countersinking screwheads are advised.
  • Door Placement: The personnel door can be positioned on either side of the building, offering flexibility in layout.
  • Windowless Design: Provides enhanced security and privacy, making it ideal for storing valuable tools or equipment.
  • Offset Double Door: Facilitates easy access for larger items, such as lawnmowers, bicycles, or workshop machinery.
  • Rigidity: The building achieves full rigidity only upon complete assembly, so initial flimsiness is normal.
  • Location: The workshop should be situated at least two feet away from any structures or obstructions (fences, buildings, trees) to allow for maintenance access and prevent moisture issues. Overhanging hedges or trees should be cut back regularly.
  • Weather Conditions: Avoid constructing the building in strong winds or poor weather conditions.

Maintenance Features:

  • Level Base: Maintaining a firm, level base is critical for preventing moisture penetration and ensuring the building fits together correctly.
  • Annual Treatment: The building must be treated annually with a good quality water-resistant timber treatment to protect against deterioration and prolong its life. It is recommended to apply the first treatment before assembly to cover all parts.
  • Felt/Roofing: Regularly check and replace any damaged roofing felt. If using shingles, follow the specific instructions provided with the shingle packs.
  • Lubrication: Moving parts, such as hinges, should be lubricated with a suitable oil for continued proper use.
  • Structural Checks: Periodical checks throughout the life of the building are necessary to ensure its original condition is maintained.
  • Moisture Management: Wood is a natural material that expands and contracts with moisture levels. Applying quality timber treatment minimizes these effects. Keeping the building ventilated helps avoid mould.
  • Repairs: For warped or twisted boards, replacement parts can be purchased through customer services.
  • Modifications: While customers may modify the product, doing so is at their own risk and may invalidate the warranty. Modifications should be carried out safely and without affecting structural integrity.
  • Warranty: The product comes with a warranty, subject to reasonable use, care, and transportation. Damage from post-purchase transportation, careless handling, or misuse is not covered. To comply with the warranty, annual timber treatment is required.
  • Spare Parts: Spare parts are available through customer services.
