This manual describes the assembly and maintenance of a BillyOh 10ft Gable Traditional Apex Door End Windowed Workshop, available in various sizes including 12x10, 16x10, and 20x10. This product is designed for domestic and outdoor use, offering an affordable solution for light domestic storage needs.
The BillyOh workshop serves as a versatile outdoor storage solution, providing a secure and weather-resistant space for tools, garden equipment, or as a hobby area. Its apex roof design ensures efficient water runoff, while the windowed panels allow natural light into the interior. The double door end provides wide access for moving larger items in and out. The building is designed to be assembled by at least two adults and requires a solid, flat, and level foundation for proper construction and stability.
The workshop features either 19mm or 28mm tongue and groove (TG) floor sections, depending on the specific model. Wall panels are constructed from wooden cladding, with options for Shiplap or Overlap styles. Shiplap cladding interlocks for greater strength and a smoother finish, while Overlap cladding uses rough sawn timber for a traditional look and economic solution. The roof structure includes roof trusses, roof panels (RTG), and is covered with roof felt (supplied in rolls). Glazing for the windows is a safer alternative to glass and is installed with beading. The door frames and door threshold are fixed components, and the double doors are equipped with a lock handle. The workshop's dimensions vary by model:
Fasteners include S50, S70, S25, S30, N30, and N40 screws and nails of various quantities, along with specific components like window rebates (WR) and casement stay joints (CS). The roof felt length is calculated as "length of roof + 140mm," with a 70mm overhang at each end. For shingles roof covering, only one roll of felt is used as a starter layer.
The workshop is designed for ease of assembly, with clear instructions provided for each stage, from laying the floor to fixing the roof and doors. The interchangeable nature of window and plain panels on apex buildings (where they are the same size) allows for flexibility in design. Users can choose to position the personnel door on either side of the building. The design allows for natural light through the windows, making it suitable for various activities. The double doors provide ample access.
Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity and structural integrity of the BillyOh workshop.
The manual also provides troubleshooting tips for common issues such as missing parts, flimsy structure during assembly, gaps around doors (due to natural wood movement), and leaks (suggesting silicon sealant and checking for damp areas). It emphasizes the importance of pilot drilling all screw holes and countersinking screwheads.
