Ok, progress with pictures.
Picked up the jigsaw puzzle shed, it just fit in the back of the wagon with the rear door not quite closed.
It had instructions ...
They were in Chinglish ...
and small diagrams and writing ...
.
Pulled the pack out on the lawn and figured out which piece went with each other, Glad I've got a bg lawn.
My design is for a roof that swivels 90 degrees on a pivot at one side. That means the roof needs to be quite robust. This shed relied heavily on the structure being all screwed together and the roof was integral to it's rigidity, This roof was like tinfoil !!
I had already figured I was going to frame the roof regardless but in this case I had to do it before I could even pick it up off the lawn ! I am beginning to think the coat of paint is thicker than the metal !!
So I got all the panels together and managed to stow them up 'on site' and off the lawn.
Thats probably as far as it's going to get for at least a week. We've just gone off daylight saving so the evening light is now reduced and there is a weather bomb heading our way from up in the Pacific that is due to hit over next Easter weekend unless it fizzes out. I've left it all as secured as I can with bungies restraining the panels from wind effects hopefully.
Lesson so far ... READ the instructions even if they are tiny chinglish ones so you don't miss out parts or use the wrong ones in the wrong places. I only made one easily fixable mistake and the parts I got left and right crossed over were interchangeable anyway.
Heres a few pix anyway. The more important ones will come when I start assembly, strengthening critical parts and the roof pivot area.
