Apex Roof Garden Storage Shed Assembly Guide For OT0604A series If you have trouble reading printed guide, you can always contact your seller and get a digital version.
A message from the author Thank you for buying this shed. As a DIYer myself I understand that most people who are willing to buy a shed and assemble it personally are likely to be highly experienced in home projects. As a result, wordy manuals are not appreciated. Bearing that in mind, I finished the first version of the assembly guide in an IKEA way, that is, a guide with little or no word in it.

Foundation 1350mm Back Foundation 1900mm DOOR The site must be prepared so that the base of the shed is level all round. Checking with a spirit level is required. This shed must be secured onto a firm and leveled foundation, preferably concrete slabs. The foundation must have a minimum thickness of 10 cm. Allow cement to dry for at least 48 hours. The foundation can also be constructed using bricks or blocks.
Outer Base For better visibility, illustrations of screws and bolts like [S3] are enlarged greatly and the color of some parts keeps changing. [D1] x 1 [D2] x 2 [D3] x 2 [D4] x 1 [DL1] x 4 A [DL1] [DL2] x 2 [S3] x 12 B [DL1] [DL2] [DL1] B A [D2] [D4] [DL1] [DL2] [D3] [D3] [DL1] A [DL2] B [D1] DOOR [D2] [DL1] COMMON MISTAKE: Confusing Parts: [D1] and [D4] [D1] and [D4] are almost identical except that [D1] has a punched latch hole on it and [D4] doesn ’t.
Inner Base [N1] x 4 [N2] x 2 [S3] x 8 [N2] [N2] [N1] [N1] DOOR Notice In this step, [N2] is inserted into [N1]. No screws are used. [N2] [N1] [N1] [N1] DOOR Notice In this step, [N2] is inserted into [N1]. No screws are used. [N2] [N1] Only eight [S3] are used in this step. After the step is finished, there are some unused screw holes left on [N1] and [N2]. They are used for attaching optional floor base to the base, which is not included in this shed.
Securing The Base [S6] x 4 Use a marker to mark [DL1] ’s hole onto the Foundation. THEN REMOVE THE BASE.
Securing The Base [S6] x 4 DOOR COMMON MISTAKE: [S6] [S6] consists of two parts, the yellow tube and the screw. As stated on the last page, you need to hammer the tube into the foundation, put the base back and fasten the screw into the tube. Sometimes a customer would hammer the whole thing through [DL1], and it is not correct. For better visibility, the Foundation will be hidden afterwards.
WALL PANELS GENERAL RULES: Wall Panels Remove the protective films first These are the wall panels you will be using. Wall Panels, except for [Q2], are symmetrical, meaning they don ’t have assigned top/bottom, or left/right. But they do have exterior and interior, with the exterior ’s color being the color of the shed and the interior ’s color a universal light grey. [Q2] does have a difference between its left and right, but no difference between its top and bottom. [S4] [S3] Starting from Step 2.
[Q2] [Q2] x 4 [S4] x 8 [S3] x 8 [Q2] [Q2] DOOR COMMON MISTAKE: [Q2] A [Q2] has four screw holes on each of its ends. In step [2.1], only screw holes No. 2 and No. 3 of each [Q2] are used. No. 1 and No. 4 will be used in following steps. Also, pay special attention to the orientation of [Q2]. It is the side with three screw holes that is facing the door and back.
Top Frames [B1] x 1 [B2] x 1 [B4] x 1 [B5] x 1 [BL1] x 4 [BL2] x 2 [S3] x 8 COMMON MISTAKE: Confusing Parts: Aluminum Frames [B1] [B2] [B3] [B4] and [B5] Take a close look at these five frames. They are not the same and thus not interchangeable. They are not symmetrical either, so there is only one correct layout. Here are some general rules: 1. Look for the [flat surface] first. There are screw holes on the [flat surface].
Top Frames B [B2] [BL2] A C [B1] [BL1] [BL1] [B2] [B1] [BL2] A [B2] [BL1] B [B1] [BL1] C 16
Top Frames and [Q2] [S3] x 8 [S4] x 8 [B5] [B4] [B1] [B2] COMMON MISTAKE: [Q2] A [Q2] has four screw holes on each of its ends. In step [2.3], only screw holes No. 2 and No. 3 of each [Q2] are used. No. 1 and No. 4 will be used in following steps. So far this is the same as step [2.1] Now pay special attention to screw hole No. 3. Bend [Q2] a little bit and you will see that there is only one screw hole on [B1] [B2] [B3] [Q2] [Q2] [B4]. It is called a frame screw hole and it matches the screw hole No.
Top Frames: [B3] [S3] x 4 [ B3] x 2 Confusing Parts: [B3] [B3] is different from [B1] to [B5] because it has no opening, but two [flat surfaces]. Still, the [flat surface] with screw holes should point to the base of the shed, while the other [flat surface] without anything should point to the inside of the shed. If you follow the rules listed in Step 2.2, [B3] will cause no confusion. In step [2.4], your job is to connect [B3] to other frames using [S3]. LEAVE THE [Q2] ALONE.
WALL PANELS GENERAL RULES: Wall Panel Stacking Starting from Step 2.4 you will be stacking panels. These general rules apply to wall panels only. Stacking of roof panels will be talked about later. [Q3] [Q3] [Q3] [Q3] The picture above illustrate how two wall panels are stacked together, from a top to bottom perspective, outside the shed. As you can see, only one channel of each wall panel is stacked. It makes no difference which panel is on top.
WALL PANELS GENERAL RULES: Single Wall Panel Nailing In step 2.1 there is a section called COMMON MISTAKE: Screw Holes on the Outer Base(D1+D2+D3+D4) . Read that section first. As stated before, a wall panel has no assigned top/bottom end. It ’s up to you to decide which end is the top or bottom. Once you have made the decision, follow the rules below. 1. Start from the screw holes at the bottom end. 2. At each end, start from the peripheral screw holes and move to the screw hole in the middle.
WALL PANELS GENERAL RULES: Multiple Wall Panel Stacking and Nailing In most cases you are required to stack multiple wall panels. Here are the rules: 1. The rules of single wall panel nailing apply to multiple wall panel nailing as well, i.e., start from the screw holes at the bottom end, and start from the peripheral screw holes and move to the holes in the middle. 2. The "peripheral - to -the - middle" rule ap- plies to wall panel stacking as well.
Side Walls [Q3] x 4 [S4] x 36 [S3]+[S4] x 9 [S3] x 36 [S3]+[S4] x 9 [Q3] [Q3] [Q3] [Q3] [S3]+[S4] x 9 [S3]+[S4] x 9 DOOR In this step, four [Q3] will be nailed to the frames ，two on each side. The order of nailing is insignificant. But you still have to follow the bottom -to -top and peripheral - to - the -middle rule. The drawing on the left illustrates the correct order of nailing two [Q3] to the frames. Pay special attention to where the stacking [Q2] [Q3] [Q3] [Q2] happens.
Back Wall [Q1] x 3 [S4] x 20 [S3] x 20 COMMON MISTAKE: Door or Back [S3]+[S4] x 3 [S3]+[S4] x 3 In this step you are assembling the bac wall of the shed, and you are looking at the back, not the door.
Door Support [S3] x 6 [S4] x 4 [LL] x 1 [LR] x 1 A [LL] [LR] DOOR Use a plier to bend [LL] and [LR] following step A. Notice that in Step B, the top end of [LL] or [LR] has two screw holes. But only one needs a [S4].
[S1][S2][S4] [S4] x 12 [S2] x 12 [S1] x 12 DOOR After all wall panels (including [LL] and [LR]) are done nailing, find the screw holes in the middle of the wall panels and use [S1] [S2][S4] to enhance the overall steadiness of the shed.
Triangular Panels [S4] x 8 [S1]+[S2] x 12 [SL] x 2 [SR] x 2 [J1] x 4 [SL] [J2] x 4 [SR] [J2] [J1] x 2 [J2] Starting from Step 3.1 you will be using [S1] and [S2], a bolt and nut set. [S4] is still needed for [S1] that contacts the panels. Notice that there are four screw holes at the edge of [SL] and [SR]. Use the lower two for [J1] .
Roof Beam [S1]+[S2] x 6 [H1] x 1 [H2] x 1 [ H2] [[H1] H1] ST E P 1 · [ H2] [H1] ST E P 2 [TOP] [H1], [H2] and the triangular panels are connected together using [S1]+[S2]. Notice that [H1] and [H2] are asymmetrical and you have to find the top and bottom. The top has slopes and screw holes on it. Screw holes on top of [H1] and [H2] are not used in this step.
Securing the Roof Beam [S3] x 20 [S3] x 5 [S3] x 5 [ H2] [H1] [ [S3] x 5 [S3] x 5 DOOR On each [SL]/[SR] there are five screw holes and you need to nail [SL]/[SR] to the frame using [S3]. COMMON MISTAKE: [H1] [H2] Pay special attention to the layout of [H2] and [H1]. If you are standing in front of the door, [H2] is on your left. You need to check the sticker and make sure it is indeed [H2] that is on the left. Notice 20 [S3] are used in this step, seven for each [SL] or [SR].
ROOF PANELS GENERAL RULES: Roof Panels Remove the protective films first These are the roof panels you will be using. [W1] x 1 [W2] x 2 [W3] x 2 [W4] x 1 GENERAL RULES: Single Roof Panel Nailing Top: Ridge Roof Panels are asymmetrical, meaning they have assigned top/bottom. It is important to correctly identify the top and bottom of roof panels. Check the [W2] on the left. There are screw holes, marked as ①② are much closer to the edge of [W2], compared with ①②③④, at both ends.
GENERAL RULES GENERAL RULES: Roof Panel Stacking Top: Ridge Bottom: Eaves Starting from Step 3.4 you will be stacking roof panels. The two pictures above illustrate how two roof panels are stacked together, from a eaves to ridge perspective outside the shed. As you can see, only one channel of each panel is stacked. Notice that the roof panel on the right has a U channel while the one on the left has a L channel. It is always the roof panels with a U channel that is on top.
ROOF PANELS GENERAL RULES: Multiple Roof Panel Stacking and Nailing In most cases you are required to stack multiple roof panels. Here are the rules: 1. The rules of single roof panel nailing apply to multiple roof panel nailing as well, i.e., start from the screw holes at the bottom end. 2. The "peripheral - to -the - middle" rule applies to roof panel stacking as well. Take the three roof panels on the top as an example, do not simply nail the wall panels from left to right or right to left.
ROOF PANELS [W1] x 1 [S3] x 4 [S4] x 4 [W1] DOOR 32
ROOF PANELS [W1] DOOR Right Wall [H1] [W1] [SL] DOOR [W1] As said in the GENERAL RULES: Single Roof Panel Nailing section, nail this [W1] following the ①②③④ order. COMMON MISTAKE: [W1] and its screws Notice that through ①, [W1] is nailed to the [SL] above the door and the [H1] beneath the [SL]. Through ③, [W1] is nailed to the [SL]. The [S3] that goes through ③ does not nail [W1] to the frame [B3], but [B3] ④ does. The ten smaller screw holes on the rib of [W1] are not used in this step.
ROOF PANELS [W2] x 1 [S3] x 4 [S4] x 4 [W2] DOOR Right Wall This step is almost identical to step [3.
ROOF PANELS [W2] x 1 [S3] x 10 [S4] x 10 [W2]- 3 [W1]- 1 [W2]- 2 Right Wall DOOR We will be using [W1] -1 to refer to the [W1] that is nailed first. Two things in this step need special attention. 1. stacking of this [W2] in the middle, aka [W2]- 3. [W2]-3 needs to be stacked under [W2] -2, because [W2] - 3 has an L channel on its right edge. [W2] -3 could be stacked under or above [W1] -1 be- cause in this case two U channels are being stacked. 2. Screws.

SCREW CAPS [S5] After all of the roof panels are nailed, go inside the shed and take a loot at the roof panels. You will find dozens of [S3] with their pointed tips. They are dangerous and it is necessary to seal the tips with [S5].
LEFT DOOR 1 [DBHG] X 1 [DBL] X 1 [DA] x 1 [DBL] [DA] Interior [DBL] [DBHG] This is the interior view of the Left Door. It is worth mentioning because [DA] and [DBL] have different interior and exterior. [DA] 1. [DA] and [DBHG] have no predetermined top or bottom. You can use whatever end Interior as the top or bottom. 2. [DBL] does have a predetermined top and bottom. Check the illustration above. There are three screw holes on the interior of each end of [DBL].
LEFT DOOR 2 [S8] X 2 [S10]+[S4] x 2 [S2] x 2 M4 x 25 [DBL] [DBHG] [S10]+[S4] [S10]+[S4] [S8] 1. Use [S10] with [S2] and [S4]. 2. Use [S10]+[S4]+[S2] to connect two [S8]. 3. It doesn ’t matter which [S8] is on top.
LEFT DOOR 3 [DBT] X 2 [S10]+[S4] x [DBT] [S2] x 4 4 M4 x 25 1. [DBT] has no predetermined top or bottom. You can use whatever end as the top or bottom. 2. Notice the stacking order of [DBT], [DBHG]/[DBL], and [S8]. [DBHG]/[DBL] is above [DBT] and under [S8], i.e.
LEFT DOOR 4 [SPRING LATCH] [SPRING LATCH] x 2 TOP [S3] x 6 BOTTOM Some key points: 1. Notice that the orientation of the two [Spring Latch] is different. 2. [S4] is not used. 3. Each [Spring Latch] has four screw holes but only three are used. The unused one is marked as X. 4. Use some force while nailing [Spring Latch], because there are no corresponding screw holes on [DBT].
LEFT DOOR 5 1. Bend the [HG] hinge before nailing it to the door. No tool is required. 2. Take a closer look at [HG], which has two sides. The difference is that there are five countersunk screw holes on Side A. While nailing [HG] to the door, make [HG] x 2 sure that [S3] goes into the countersunk screw holes. No [S4] is required. [S3] x 4 [HG] [HG] Side A [HG] Side B [Countersunk Screw Hole] COMMON MISTAKE: [HG] Aside from the countersunk screw holes, there is another catch about [HG].
Right DOOR 1 [DBHG] X 1 [DBR] X 1 [DA] x 1 [DBR] [DA] Exterior [DBR] [DBHG] This is the exterior view of the Left Door. It is worth mentioning because [DA] and [DBR] have different interior and exterior. [DA] 1. [DA] and [DBHG] have no predetermined top or bottom. You can use whatever end Exterior as the top or bottom. 2. [DBR] does have a predetermined top and bottom. Check the illustration above. There are three screw holes near the middle of [DBR].
RIGHT DOOR 2 [S8] X 2 [S10]+[S4] x 2 [S2] x 2 M4 x 25 [DBHG] [DBR] [S8] [S10]+[S4] [S10]+[S4] 1. Use [S10] with [S2] and [S4]. 2. Use [S10]+[S4]+[S2] to connect two [S8]. 3. It doesn ’t matter which [S8] is on top.
RIGHT DOOR 3 [DBT] X 2 [S10]+[S4] x [DBT] [S2] x 4 4 M4 x 25 1. [DBT] has no predetermined top or bottom. You can use whatever end as the top or bottom. 2. Notice the stacking order of [DBT], [DBHG]/[DBR], and [S8]. [DBHG]/[DBR] is above [DBT] and under [S8], i.e., [DBT] is covered by [DBHG]/ [DBR]. See the illustration below.
RIGHT DOOR 4 1. Bend the [HG] hinge before nailing it to the door. No tool is required. 2. Take a closer look at [HG], which has two sides. The difference is that there are five countersunk screw holes on Side A. While nailing [HG] to the door, make [HG] x 2 [S3] x 4 sure that [S3] goes into the countersunk screw holes. No [S4] is required. [HG] [HG] Side A [HG] Side B [Countersunk Screw Hole] COMMON MISTAKE: [HG] Aside from the countersunk screw holes, there is another catch about [HG].
FINISHED LEFT AND RIGHT DOOR [RIGHT DOOR] [LEFT DOOR] Interior Above is the finished layout of the right door and the left door. It is obvious that the layout of [S8] is different and only th e left door has [Spring Hinges] nailed to it.
HINGES [S3] x 12 There are four hinges on two doors. Each hinge needs three [S3], but no [S4] is needed.
