1 - The Base -   Start off by laying the floor of the garden
  shed. The actual base for the shed must be firm and level.We recommend that you fix the floor to the timber bearers.
 
 
2 -  Next Step - Sides  Next take the gable end and an end panel, sit
  them onto the floor, Fix these two parts of the shed together to form
  one corner. Add more of the side panels one at a time until you have all four sides  attached.
 
3 - Next step - The roof:
Place the two roof panels on top of the garden shed. Note, if your base is not level you will find that the end of the roof purling will not sit flush to each other. 
 
In the photo above, you can see daylight between the two roof panels, In  reality you should fix the panels together so there is no daylight
showing on garden she roof.

One end at a time.  This make take the application some pressure.
