Apex Roof Garden Storage Shed Assembly Guide For OT0806 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.

PART LIST Some parts are stacked together for easier transportation. Occasionally two or more parts will stick together very firmly. As a result, you might think something is missing. But it is very likely that the missing part is just attached to another part.

WARNING Keep this guide for future reference. Read carefully. Safety Make sure you have access to all sides of the shed during construction. Ensure that all parts are present before starting assembly. Remove all parts from the box and sort them by number. Ensure that you have all elements required to build your garden shed. Always wear work gloves, long sleeves and safety goggles during assembly of the garden shed. Some components contain sharp edges and may cause damage.

[D1] x 2 [D2] x 1 [D3] x 2 [D4] x 2 [S3] x 16 [DL1] x 4 [DL2] x 4 [D5] x 1 [D1] [DL1] [D3] [D4] [DL2] [DL2] [DL1] [D5] [DL1] [DL2] [D2] [DL2] [D4] [DL1] [D3] [D1] [DL2] [DL1] Notice There are no screw holes on [DL1] or [DL2]. Use a power tool to ease the screwing. This is the only correct layout of [D1]~[D5].
[N2] x 4 [N4] x 1 [S3] x 8 [N2] [N2] [N2] [N2] [N4] Notice [N2] When connecting two [N2] In step 1.2, only use one [S3]. [N4] [N2] The other [S3] will be used in step 1.3. Check the illustration on the left for details.
[N1] x 8 [S3] x 16 [N1] x 8 What is the purpose of the inner base? The structure consisting of [N1] [N2][N4] is called an inner base. Other manufacturers might call it a shed floor kit and brand it as optional. For our sheds, the inner base is absolutely necessary, because it greatly improves the stability of the shed. Typically, you can lay flooring on the inner base. Wood flooring is recommended. Notice After the base is fully assembled, you will still find unused screw holes on [N1][N2][N4].
[S6] x 4 COMMON MISTAKE: [S6] [S6] consists of two parts, the yellow tube and the screw. As illustrated 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.
Don’t Do This It takes 48 hours for the concrete foundation to cure and in rare cases, a customer would choose to assemble the shed elsewhere and move the finished shed onto the foundation. Don’t do this.
Wall 15
GENERAL RULES 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 predetermined 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.
[B3]+[B4] x 2 [S3] x 4 [B2] [B3] [B1] [B4] [B6] [B1] [B2] [B5] Notice For this step, your task is to go inside the shed and connect [B1]+[B2] to [B5]+[B6] and [B3]+[B4]. Leave [Q2] alone. No [S4] is used here. COMMON MISTAKE: [B1]+[B2] As it is said, you will have to get inside the shed and nail the four [S3] in this step. While doing so, you are nailing [S3] vertically. If for whatever reason you are nailing [S3] horizontally, you are doing it wrong.
[B2] [B3] [B1] [B4] [B6] [B1] [B5] [B2] [B6] [B4] [B1] [B2] [B3] [B1] [B2] [B5] Notice This page serves as a reference to the layout of [B1]~[B6]. A,B,C,D show what the four corners look like when you are inside the shed.
GENERAL RULES Wall Panel Stacking Starting from here you will be stacking panels. These general rules apply to wall panels only. Stacking of roof panels will be talked about later. The picture on the left illustrates 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.
[Q3] x 1 [S3]+[S4] x 8 [Q3]-1 Fix the screws following the order of ①~⑧. Don’t be tempted to fix the screws that are not marked. This [Q3] can be stacked above or under [Q2]. There are no corresponding screw holes on the top frames for ⑥⑦⑧. Make sure that Screw ⑤ indeed goes into the screw holes on the top frame.
[Q1] x 1 [S3]+[S4] x 6 [Q1]-2 Fix the screws following the order of ①~⑥. The [Q1] can be stacked above or under panel next to it. There are no corresponding screw holes on the top frames for ⑤⑥. Make sure that Screw ④ indeed goes into the screw holes on the top frame.
[Q1] x 1 [S3]+[S4] x 6 [Q1]-3 Fix the screws following the order of ①~⑥. The [Q1] can be stacked above or under panel next to it. There are no corresponding screw holes on the top frames for ④⑤⑥.
[Q1] x 1 [S3]+[S4] x 8 [Q1]-4 Fix the screws following the order of ①~⑧. The [Q1] can be stacked above or under panel next to it. There are no corresponding screw holes on the top frames for ⑤⑥⑦⑧.
[Q1] x 3 [S3]+[S4] x 28 [Q3] x 1 [Q1]-2 [Q1]-4 [Q3]-1 [Q1]-3 Repeat Step 2.8~2.11 and finish assembling the left four wall panels one by one.
[Q3] x 1 [S3]+[S4] x 8 [Q3]-1 31
[Q1] x 1 [S3]+[S4] x 6 [Q1]-2 32
[Q3] x 1 [S3]+[S4] x 8 [Q3]-3 33
[Q3] x 1 [S3]+[S4] x 10 [Q3]-4 34
[Q1] x 2 [S3]+[S4] x 6 [Q1] [Q1] 35
[S4] x 4 [S3] x 6 [LL] x 1 [LR] x 1 A [LL] [LR] 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 each. But only one needs a [S4].
[S1]+[S2]+[S4] x 19 Inside Outside 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.

[S1]+[S2]+[S3] x 4 [ J1 ] x 4 [SL] x 2 [SR] x 2 [SR] [ J1 ] [ J1 ] [SL] Notice You have two sets of [SL] and [SR] so you will have to repeat this step. Notice that you will find four screw holes on [SL] and [SR] in this step. Only attach [ J1 ] to [SL] and [SR] using the lower two screw holes.
[S1]+[S2]+[S3] x 8 [ J2 ] x 4 [ J2 ] [SR] [ J2 ] [SL] Notice You have two sets of [SL] and [SR] so you will have to repeat this step. Notice that you should position the [ J2] so that you are attaching [ J2 ] to [SL] and [SR] using the side of [ J2] with two screw holes.
[S1]+[S2]+[S3] x 8 [H1] x 2 [H2] x 2 [Screw Holes] On this side [Screw Holes] On this side [H1] [H2] [Screw Holes] On this side [H2] [Screw Holes] On this side [H1] Notice While performing Step 3.3 and following steps, position the [H1] and [H2] so that the side with screw holes are upward. Step 3.3 and Step 3.4 are different. Do not expect to repeat Step 3.3 to get Step 3.4. Do not repeat Step 3.4 either. The left [H1] and [H2] will be used in later steps.
[S1]+[S2]+[S3] x 6 [H1] x 1 [H2] x 1 [SR] [H1] [H2] [SL] [SR] [H1] [H2] [SL] [SL] [SR] Notice All you need to do in Step 3.6 is to flip over the assembly you finished in Step 3.5, and find the other assembly of [SL]+[SR].
[S1]+[S2]+[S3] x 18 [H1] x 1 [H2] x 1 [SR] [H2] [H1] [SL] [SL] [SR] [SR] [H2] [H1] [SL] [H1] [SL] [H2] [SR] [ J2 ] Notice While attaching [H1] or [H2] to [ J2 ], make sure they are attached through the top two screw holes on [ J2 ].
[SR] [H2] [SL] [H2] [H1] [H1] [H1] [H1] [H2] [SL] [H2] [SR] Notice For this step, do not try to attach the roofing support([SL]+[SR]+[H1]+[H2]) to the rest of the shed yet. Take some time to check that your layout is the same as the layout above. And make sure that the screw holes on [H1][H2] are visible This is the only acceptable layout.
[S3] x 28 Notice 28 [S3] are used in this step, seven for each [SL] or [SR]. Notice that eight [S3] are marked ①. Lift the roofing support a little bit, and you will find ① marked [S3] are the only screws that have correspondent screw holes on the top frames. While nailing the roofing support to the rest of the shed, make sure that you fix the eight marked [S3] first, and that the screws are indeed going into the screw holes on the top frames.
For better visibility, wall panels and bases are hidden in the roof panel steps. [W3] x 1 –1, -2, -3, -4 indicates the assembling order of roof panels. [S3]+[S4] x 6 [W3]-1 [SL] [SR] Notice ④ ① Notice that six [S3]+[S4] sets are used in this [H2] step. The ten smaller screw holes on the rib of [W3]-1 are not used in this step. Through the left three screw holes①②③, [W3]- [W3]-1 1 is nailed to [SR] and two [H2] which are beneath [SR].
For better visibility, wall panels and bases are hidden in the roof panel steps. [W4] x 1 –1, -2, -3, -4 indicates the assembling order of roof panels. [S3]+[S4] x 6 [W4]-2 [W3]-1 Notice ① [L-Channel] ④ Step 3.12 is almost identical to Step 3.11. Notice that six [S3]+[S4] sets are used in this step. The ten smaller screw holes on the rib of [W4]-2 are not used in this step. [W4]-2 Through the right three screw holes①②③, ② [W3]-1 is nailed to [SL] and two [H1] which are beneath [SL].
For better visibility, wall panels and bases are hidden in the roof panel steps. [W4] x 1 –1, -2, -3, -4 indicates the assembling order of roof panels. [S3]+[S4] x 9 [W4]-2 [W4]-3 [W3]-1 ⑦ ① Notice ④ Screw holes ①②③ are on the ridge of [W4] -3. To be specific, they are on the [Uchannel] ridge. Through ①②③, [W4]-3 is [W4]-3 attached to [W3]-1. ⑧ Position [W4]-3 so that the [U-channel] of ⑤ [W4]-3 is placed above the [U-channel] of ② [W3]-1. This is very important.
For better visibility, wall panels and bases are hidden in the roof panel steps. [W4] x 1 –1, -2, -3, -4 indicates the assembling order of roof panels. [S3]+[S4] x 12 [W4]-4 [W4]-2 [W4]-3 [W3]-1 ⑩ Notice ④ Screw holes ①②③ are on the [U-channel] ridge of ⑦ [W4]-4, while screw holes ④⑤⑥ are on the [L- ① [W4]-2 channel] ridge of [W4]-4. Through ①②③ and ④⑤ ⑥, [W4]-4 is attached to [W4]-3 and [W4]-2.
[L1] x 2 [L2] x 2 [S3]+[S4] x 4 [L1] [L2] [L2] [L1] Notice In this step, you are attaching [L1] and [L2] to the [L-channel]. If for whatever reason you are attaching them to a [U-channel], it means you made a mistake while assembling the roofing panels.
[L3] x 2 [L4] x 2 [S3]+[S4] x 6 [G4] x 4 [L4] [L3] [L4] [L3] Notice It doesn’t really matter whether [L3] is above or [G4] under [L4]. In this manual we are letting [L3] covers [L4]. Notice that for [G4], a [S4]+[S4] set has to go through [S4], two eaves and then through a roofing panel.
