Single Quickshade

1) Set Out & Position (If Required)

Before assembling frames, lay out your components and confirm portal spacing and orientation as per your supplied instructions. If your kit includes an anchoring/grounding option, mark locations as required for your site.

2) Grounding (If Selected)

If you’ve chosen a grounding option, position anchors/brackets where required for your portal locations, mark the positions, then fix them into place according to your selected system and site conditions.

Once fixed, ensure all anchor points are aligned and ready to accept the portal frames.

3) Assemble Portal Frames

Assemble each portal frame by slipping the swaged ends together. Depending on your shed design, this may include pitched pillars, apex, risers, and rafters.

Check your frame is square by measuring across the top and bottom. Secure each connection with screws on both sides.

1) Optional Riser Kit

When building on uneven ground, the optional riser kit helps level the shed. Run a string line across the base rails and adjust the risers until the string sits level.

Measure from the string line down to the base rail to confirm the correct rise needed.

2) Square Up & Install Portals

Install the front and rear portal frames first. Adjust the base rails so the top and bottom widths match, then take diagonal measurements.

When both diagonal measurements are equal, the shed is square. Install the remaining portal frames and use a string line along the top to ensure consistent height.

3) Rafters (If Included)

If your shed includes rafters, install them between the apex and pillars. Once aligned, secure all connections with screws.

1) Assemble & Secure the Roof Section

Once your roof section is assembled and positioned on the risers, ensure all fixings are installed and tightened as per your kit instructions. Double-check the roof frame is straight and aligned before fitting the cover.

2) Place the Quickshade Cover

Lay the Quickshade cover over the roof section and pull it evenly into position. Temporarily fix the cover at each corner so it stays centred while you prepare to tension it.

3) Attach Straps & Tension Corner-by-Corner

The ratchet straps are pre-attached to the frame corners (bent shoulders). Locate the strap lengths supplied in the boxes provided and attach them to the ratchets.

Begin tensioning the cover one corner at a time, working your way around the roof so the cover tightens evenly. Continue until the cover is firm and sitting neatly with consistent tension across the roof.
