Hi, we have the 1.52 x 1.52 space saver. A few missing holes but no drama until we got to the top door jamb (part 90C) which is about 5mm too long. We checked off parts prior to assembly but didn't measure to the mm. Would rather not have to cut parts to fit. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hi Denise, Thank you for reaching out. We are very sorry that there is an issue with the 90C jamb in your kit. We have sent you a private message so we can get some further details and we can get the part replaced for you as soon as possible. Regards The Absco Team
Thanks. Actually we have solved the problem with a pair of tin snips. Cheers
Can the bike shed be disassembled to be moved and then reassembled at new location? Thanks
I'd suggest partially disassembling it, into four sides and two roof subassemblies. But yes it should not be a problem.
Hi Grace, Yes the shed can be disassembled into panels and reassembled at your new location. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our team admin@absco.com.au or 1800 029 701 for any assistance or questions you may have. Regards The Absco Team
Why don’t Absco provide a list of parts found in each box, would be helpful when attempting to assemble. Model 30302GK
Hi John, The QR code inside your box will take you to the link to download your instruction manual as a PDF, here you will find the parts checklist on the first pages. The manual is also available to download on the product page on our website. We recommend that you follow the parts checklist at the start of the manual and if you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to reach out directly to our customer service team who are available 7-days a week. Regards The Absco Team
Thank you for your reply, my issue was which box to open, the parts list that I downloaded did not identify what was in which box. I opened box 1 thinking that was where the first parts to be constructed were, but no I had to open both boxes. Your parts list that I download and printed off still doesn’t detail what parts can be found in which box.
Hi John, Apologies for the confusion. We do recommend that all components in each box be marked off the checklist prior to starting construction of the shed. We have passed your feedback onto the team as well. Regards The Absco Team
We purchased a 3x3 premier shed. Its the biggest piece of …….. holes were NOT all punched through, so we had to pre drill them all. For a shed that is supposed to just go together this did not. The walls and roof do not line up. absco just said to drill more. Now we do not have much of an overhang, so it is going to leak. We had to end up end up getting a builder to come and try and fit-the roof. 3 full days to put a shed together was a joke. Has anyone else had these issues. What have you done about the roof

Thank you for your response. As confirmed to your Absco team by phone I have managed to construct the shed with the door opening on the opposite side. It took a couple of attempts moving one internal brace and drilling holes on both top and bottom of the long horizontals where the door opens. Regards Paul P

Installing the roof on a space saver 3 x 1.5 x 2.08 and found that all the holes do not line up across the back. Frustrated that this is the case as will now have leaks. Have I done something wrong? Shouldn’t have to use silicon to waterproof misaligned pre drilled holes
Hi Andrea, Please see the below links to the tips and tricks videos for roof assembly and hole alignment. We recommend checking all the pan holes line up on one side and that all the rib holes are lined up on the other side of your roof.

I am needing to replace an old 3x3 garden shed . The current one overhangs the fence line and part of the overhang will be cut off to allow a new fence . I’m wanting to use the existing slab but there is no excess slab for me to move the shed forward. I’m wondering how far the overhang protrudes on the new sheds. If it’s less than the old ones I might get lucky.
Hi Lew, Thank you for the question. Our Premier 3m x 3m garden shed model requires an overhang at the front and rear of the shed of approx. 35mm. This overhang is required so as to let water out and allow any water to fall on the outside wall of the shed. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to reach out or email our team admin@absco.com.au Regards The Absco Team
Perfect information. Thank you.
I am interested in the 3x3m shed with roller door front, but want to reduce the size of the side to 1.8m to fit our site is that possible?
Hi Ailee, Unfortunately, our sheds are not designed to be modified in size. We do have our medium fortress shed that is 3.0m x 1.52m with a single roller door on the front that may suit your requirements. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our team for a chat or to compare options, our customer service team are available 7-days a week on 1800 029 701 or email admin@absco.com.au Regards The Absco Team

Hi . I have recently purchased The Absco Space Saver Shed Model: 15081SECOK and have found during assembly that some parts of the Roof Panel Assembly do not comply with the assembly instructions. When i started to assemble the roof panel part: 43D x 2 and tried to fit the long channel item 81E x 2 i found that the channel was to short by about 100mm+. I triple checked the parts / numbers and discovered that the parts did not match. Is Absco able to supply me the correct items please. Regards:

Hello, I have got the 4.48x2.26 workshop shed. We just paid a Concreter $2200 to pour a slab according to the shed instructions, which stated a 75mm wide rebate. However, the concreter advised that the industry standard is 35mm x 45mm. So this is what he did. We’re worried that this will have an impact when we construct the shed, can you please confirm if it will still work with the changes rebate size? Thanks!
Hi Shareece, We recommend a total slab size of 4580 x 2360 for this size shed, with the rebate edge being 75mm width and 25mm depth. If the slab is the correct size but the rebate edge is only 45mm wide, it will just mean that the shed and portal frame will all sit on the inner/raised area of the slab. Alternatively, the edge could be cut so the rebate is 75mm wide, and then the centre frame will just be trimmed by 35mm (the depth of the rebate) during install. Please do not hesitate if you have any further questions on this so we can assist. The Absco Team
