Before you start
Most accidents are the result of negligence and carelessness, usually caused by the failure of the
operator to follow simple but necessary safety precautions.
Do not install the garden building before carefully reading this manual.
Health and Safety
Every effort has been made during the manufacturing process to eliminate the prospect of splinters
on rough surfaces of the timber. You are strongly advised to wear gloves when working with or
handling timber. We also strongly advise you to wear safety glasses when installing the felt to
protect your eyes.
Power Sheds Ltd cannot be held responsible for any damage or injury sustained due to incorrect
unloading, unpacking, or assembly of any of our products.

Timber
As timber is a natural product, it is prone to changes in appearance, including some movement,
warping and splitting, particularly in extreme weather conditions. There may be the occasional split,
knot or similar visual imperfections in the timber. Whilst every effort is made to hand pick timber
without visible knotholes or splits there may be occasions where timber is selected in good faith that
contains what appears to be a solid knot which over the course of time / during movement of the
product it may occur that these small knot holes are then dislodged from the timber leaving a small
knot or crack. Unfortunately, we cannot be held responsible for this maturing of the product and can
only offer our best advice as how to deal with this situation in the unlikely event that it should occur
which would be to apply some wood filler to the area affected or in extreme circumstances to
change the board over.
None of this should affect the structural integrity of the product.
Firm and level base
If you have ordered our Power Base, then please turn to page 16 for installation instructions.
All of our garden sheds require a firm and level base. When thinking about where the garden
building and base is going to be constructed:
Ensure that there will be access to all sides for maintenance work and annual treatment.
Remember not to place the base too close to any walls or fences, as there may be a slight
overhang on the roof of the garden building which may come into contact with the wall or
fence.
Ensure the base is level and is built on firm ground, to prevent distortion. Refer to
PowerSheds.com for base dimensions.
Consider when placing the base next to trees or large bushes as this could cause problems
from overhanging branches, especially if these are likely to grow and come into contact with
the building in the future and could cause the felt to rip.
The base is slightly smaller than the external measurement of the building, i.e. The cladding should
overlap the base, creating a run for water. It is recommended that the floor is at least 25mm above
the surrounding ground level to avoid flooding.
If you have not chosen to purchase our Power Base then other suitable bases would include a
concrete base (75mm of concrete on top of 75mm of hardcore) or a paving slab base (slabs laid on
top of 50mm of sharp sand).

The fixing pack
Your fixing pack will include:
25mm screws (silver)
35mm screws
50mm screws
70mm screws
Clout nails (for the felt)
40mm galvanised nails
If you have ordered a Power Base, you will also receive 80mm screws
Pre Assembly
1. Safely unpack your components and check that you have all the parts required. Please use the table
in the two previous few pages to view which components are required for the size you have ordered.
2. Carefully remove the pallet and any untreated packing timber. See the aftercare section on ways to
recycle these items or alternatively you can discard them.
USEFUL TIP! – Re-treat the underside of the floor before assembly for additional protection and
maximum longevity.
3. Remove any transport blocks from the bottom of the blank and window panels. These are there to
offer further protection to the bottom board of the panel.
Drilling
In the instructions we will talk about screwing panels together. We recommend this is done with a drill.
Here, we suggest that you pre-drill the timber with a 3mm drill bit before inserting the screws. This will
minimise the chance the timber will split.

Floor
1. Lay down your floor panel(s) onto your firm and level base into the desired position of your shed. Be
sure to consider any overhangs on the shed when deciding the correct position as per the
instructions regarding bases in the ‘before you start’ section.
2. Turn the floor sections upside down so that the floor bearers are facing up and the floor boards are
running in line with each other. Join the floor panels together using the 50mm screws provided. At
this stage you can also screw the two ‘heavy duty bearers’ which are two pieces of framing joined
together, to each gable end (the end where the triangular ‘gable tops’ will go later’). Join the bearers
by screwing the through the floor joists first so the screw goes as far into the bearer as possible.
a. For 4ft wide Power sheds (4x4, 6x4, 8x4, 10x4, 12x4, 14x4, 16x4, 18x4, 20x4) use the
1190mm heavy duty bearer provided.
b. For 6ft wide Power sheds (4x6, 6x6, 8x6, 10x6, 12x6, 14x6, 16x6, 18x6, 20x6) use the
1790mm heavy duty bearer provided.
Once screwed together, turn the floor the correct way up. Note – the method of turning the floor
over is suitable for sheds up to 12ft long. If the shed is over 12ft long then you may struggle to turn
the whole floor over without damaging the floor. For floors over 12ft long this method should be
followed but to do it in two halves.
USEFUL TIP! – If you have purchased a POWER Base you can screw the floor to the timber POWER
base below for maximum strength and security.
8
Door
1. Your shed will either come with a single door or a double door depending on what you selected
when ordering. Double doors are already hung on the door panel. However, for a single door you will
need to hang the door.
For a single door you can choose which way round to hang it – left hand or right hand.
(note – if you choose a left hand hinged door then the lock has to be unscrewed and positioned the
correct way round as it will be upside down)
2. For a single door, lay the door panel on the floor (you can lie it on the shed floor if you wish). Line up
the door onto the framing so that it is square. The door should be positioned closer to the side
where the hinges go. Make sure the lock is on the inside of the shed when the door is closed. Secure
the hinges in place using the 25mm screws provided.
3. Choose two places on the door to secure your two turn buttons – one towards the top, one towards
the bottom. For double doors a turn button will already be secured. Be careful not to screw this too
tightly or it will not turn.
Important – make sure the door is unlocked before the next stage or once you have assembled the side
walls you will not be able to get in your shed. The key is screwed to the back of the door
9
Walls
1. Your shed will come with a number of wall sections. The quantity of these will depend which type
and size you ordered – there could be 4ft Blank Panels, 2ft Blank Panels, 4ft Window Panels (unless
you have selected the windowless version), and a door panel (which could be a single door or double
door). Please see the components table to confirm which panels you should have for your Power
Apex shed.
2. Lay out the wall panels in the configuration you want for your garden building. The blank panels,
door panel and window panels can go in any position.
We give you the ‘power’ to choose how you want your shed
Note – trusses (discussed later) will be positioned in line with the joins in the wall panels, so ensure
these joins match on opposite sides (this is important if your shed comes with 4ft and 2ft wall
panels).
3. Start with the 4ft panel that will be part of your gable end – position this on top of one of the heavy
duty bearers which you attached in the previous section. Ensure the side of the panel is flush with
the side of the floor.
4. If your Power shed is 6ft wide (4x6, 6x6, 8x6, 10x6, 12x6, 14x6, 16x6, 18x6, 20x6) then you will need
to position one of the 2ft blank panels next to the 4ft wall panel you have chosen to complete the 6ft
gable end. Secure these panels together from the inside using the 50mm screws provided. Use three
screws per join.
Important! – When securing panels together ensure they line up at the top (so the building is square) and
that only the ends of the cladding are shown, which will later be covered with corner strips). This is only in
the corner when the side meets the gable.
5. Place another wall panel at a right angle to the gable end wall panels for the side walls and again
secure using the 50mm screws provided.
6. Continue doing this to place all remaining wall panels in position.
10
7. When you have secured all the wall panels (door panel, 2ft and 4ft blank panels, window panels) you
then need to secure these to the floor using 70mm screws provided. Screw approximately into the
floor with 2x screws for every wall panel (internally) ensuring the screws are driven through the
framing at the bottom of the side/gable walls, through the floor boards and into the floor joists.
USEFUL TIP! – You can work out the position of the floor joists from the location of the existing nails in
the floor
