Transcript of 8FT X 8FT SHED ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS - Bend A Shed… · The basic bend a shed kit is composed of 6...
The following instructions are meant to instruct the
individual on the typical construction of a 8 foot deep
x 8 foot wide x 8 foot high shed or greenhouse
utilizing the bend a shed’s bendable angled joists
and T-bracket system. The instructions presented
here is one example of the many different types of
buildings that could be created using this system.
Always check with your local building codes for size
restrictions, if any exist, in your township/county.
Typical limitations are 120 sq. Feet.
Tools for a safe and efficient build:
Two people willing to get their hands dirty
Work gloves
Safety glasses
Hammer
Hand saw (circular saw – even better)
Phillips #2 screwdriver
Clamps (quick clamps preferred) for holding the bracket to the wood during assembly
Level
Framing square
Step ladder
utility knife
Wood pencil
Tape measure
Hand drill with a Philips head driver (may want to have a drill set handy too )
At least two feet clearance around the base of the structure
The basics :
The basic bend a shed kit is composed of 6 angled joist brackets and 16 T-brackets which are used in
conjunction with the proper wood selection to give you a best in class DIY (do-it-yourself) shed on the market.
The brackets are designed to minimize the amount of material needed for the structure while increasing the
overall stability and quality of your structure.

THE FLOOR :
A structure always starts with its location and foundation. There are many different methods used in
creating a floor for your structure, if you choose to have one. Here, only two scenarios will be covered.
You decide if you have something different or more elaborate in mind.
Our two suggested methods are either one to be placed on top of a concrete pad or one to be placed on
top of a relatively level surface, whether it would be grass, stones or dirt. Both methods use pressure
treated 2x4 for structure and 4x8 foot tongue in groove plywood as the floor. The minor differences can
be seen below.

Note:
Our suggested flooring methods are to either be placed on top of a concrete pad, a wooden platform
or a level surface, whether it be grass / stone or dirt. If wood makes contact with or close to the
ground use pressure treated wood.

Hanging The Doors
¼ “ Gap Top and
Bottom All Doors
Note:
Hanging the doors may be easier if they are screwed together and set in place as
one unit.
By placing a ¼ “ spacer on the bottom seal will locate the doors vertically.
When centered drill and screw the strap hinges in place
Hinges will screw
into these 2x4’s
Note:
Cut these boards out after the doors are
installed (see page 7)
