3hrs? That’s wishfully thinking, it took two of us 9 hrs, and that was working non stop. It was a 2.5 m square shed without a floor. Thanks to your video we under quoted big time. 😅🎉
I have the same questions as Raman. Any downside to using screws? Also thinking that if I ever move house, having the shed put together with screws would make it a *bit* easier to break down
I can imagine S/S screws would add at least $100 to the kit price. I like the idea of screws as well, however there would be a multitude of sharp edges inside the shed
I have just started assembling the Guardian shed on a concrete floor. The instructions so far are helpful but do not mention that the side panels taper from back to front. While it makes sense that they would it would have been helpful to mention that. Am puzzled as to why the bottom plate is partly exposed. Would have thought it would be covered by the bottom of the sheet. Perhaps I will find out why as I progress. Agree with other comments about the clouts. They are not as forgiving as screws but cheaper I suppose. Helpful video thanks. 😊
does anyone have a set of instructions for this.? Would really appreciate it being scanned and sent to me. I approached duratuf but no one bothered to reply
Great to see a New Zealand company making a great product. I built one of these sheds recently. I'm not a tradesperson, but i still got by okay. Final product looks great. Very pleased. More power to you guys. Nice to see real people in your videos too, and the beers were a nice touch.
It's a pity that the drawn instructions appear to show the opposite view to the video in at least the first few panels. It would be helpful if one followed the other. For example, the video has the top and bottom plate turned over. Also, a few more seconds on lining up edges and hinges etc, showing the whole panel face for reference would be helpful, particularly if they are opposite to the drawings.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience building the shed. We are sorry to hear that it took longer than the estimated time for you and your team. Building a shed can be a big project and the actual time required may vary based on several factors such as the size, complexity, and the skills and experience of building Duratuf sheds. We appreciate your feedback . If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your support.
The written instructions tell you to rivet the two panels in the centre first. The way this video shows makes more sense because then the panels can move together to make the frame fit tightly. Mine doesn't cause I followed the written instructions :(
We do look at making improvement to our instruction for future. We appreciate your feedback . If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your support.
Cheers for the Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you tried - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (do a google search)? It is an awesome one off guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my friend Sam at very last got excellent results with it.

Really bad instruction manual ....should have detailed instructions with photos ...
manual is not really user friendly

@@stevedevine6463 I did mine with screws, no sharp edges because I used the right length. Added maybe 40 bucks onto the price.

Giday guys, I've bought a Duratuf sentry 3030, I also bought the timber flooring for it, but there are no instructions for the timber floor......?

Could we not use screws instead of nails as with hammering the nails one is likely to dent the sheets? Thinking from a diy point of view. Cheers
