This document is an assembly manual for the EasyShed Flat Roof Model EF-D3008, a garden shed designed for outdoor storage. The manual provides detailed instructions for a 5-step assembly process, along with a comprehensive customer checklist for components, safety guidelines, and maintenance recommendations.
Function Description:
The EasyShed Flat Roof Model EF-D3008 serves as an outdoor storage solution, typically for garden tools, equipment, or other items requiring protection from the elements. Its flat roof design is a key characteristic, and the assembly instructions guide users through constructing the back panel, side panels, roof panel, door, and front panel. The shed is designed for self-assembly, with components joined primarily using self-drilling screws and pop rivets. The manual emphasizes the importance of proper anchoring to prevent damage from wind gusts and provides methods for both temporary and permanent anchoring.

- Anchoring: Requires 10mm diameter masonry drill for concrete fixing. Anchor brackets and bolts are purchased separately. Rebated concrete slab (50 x 25 rebate boxing) is recommended for water prevention.
- Roof Type: Flat roof, non-trafficable.
Usage Features:
- Self-Assembly: Designed for DIY assembly, with clear, step-by-step instructions and exploded views of components.
- Tool Requirements: Requires a power drill, Phillips head driver, pop rivet gun, and a step ladder. Drill bits specified: 3mm Steel, 10mm Steel (for concrete fixing), 10mm Masonry (for concrete fixing).
- Two-Person Assembly: Two people are recommended for handling completed roof and wall panels, especially when carrying them vertically.
- Work Area: Suggests a level work area, either a concrete slab or planks on the ground, or a platform made from trestles and planks (3000mm & 1800mm in length).
- Component Identification: Components are marked with part numbers where possible; otherwise, they are identified by description, sketches, and sizes.
- Channel Joining: Specific instructions for pre-joining channels using "EICJ" joiners to create longer pieces, ensuring half of the joiner is allocated to each channel.
- Panel Assembly Precision: Emphasizes ensuring overlapped sheets finish flush with perimeter channels for correct shed construction.
- Door Assembly: Detailed instructions for both right-hand and left-hand door assemblies, noting they are different. Crucial attention to hinge fitting, door plate, and padbolt installation for smooth operation.
- Door Gap: Important instruction to maintain a 6mm gap between doors during fastening to accommodate hinge expansion.
- Hinge Spacer: Recommends using a 4-5mm spacer (e.g., screwdriver) when fitting hinges to maintain proper door-to-panel gap.
- Anchoring Methods: Provides Method A (concrete slab with fixing set) and Method B (rebated concrete slab) for permanent anchoring, and Method C (galvanized anchor pegs) for temporary anchoring.
- Door Alignment Adjustment: Instructions for adjusting door alignment by levering and packing beneath the wall if the site is not level.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Cleaning: Recommended to wash the shed twice yearly with soapy water and hose off. More frequent cleaning is advised in coastal or industrial areas.
- Fastening Check: Regular checks of fastening points are crucial to ensure all components are tightly secured, preventing damage from extreme weather.
- Waterproofing: Silicone sealants and rubber door seals (available separately) can be used to further assist waterproofing.
- Condensation Prevention: Suggests using plastic sheeting to protect valuable stored items from condensation and dripping from the roof panels.
- Corrosion Prevention:
- Do not backfill dirt or garden mix against walls, as this will rapidly corrode components and void the warranty.
- Store lawn, garden, and other fertilizers and chemicals at least 300mm away from wall panels, as they can cause rapid corrosion.
- Warranty: EasyShed products are warranted for up to 20 years from the date of purchase. Proof of purchase is required for warranty claims.
- Non-Trafficable Roof: Explicit warning not to climb on the roof, as it is not designed to be trafficable.
- Drainage: For flat roofs, if water entrapment and seepage are a concern, additional screws, silicone sealant, and small holes in perimeter channels can be used to allow water to escape.
