Assemble the walls of the shed per the shed instructions.



Note that the roof system contains 'tabs' that help to structurally support the walls. These will have to be cut off and applied to the walls without connection to the roof. Since the roof helps to hold the walls together, we will need to reinforce the walls using the roof support system.



Measure the height of the walls. The roof must clear the walls if it is to roll off.

Cut the square steel stock into 6 lengths the height of the walls.



In my case I wanted the structure to be somewhat portable, so I welded the square stock into three support pieces as shown in the figure. These support pieces are called Front Support, Back Support, and Outside Support.



The Front Support contains reinforcing angle arms that are short. They are short so they do not obscure the entry way when the doors are open. See the Front Support figure.



The Back Support is identical to the Outside support. These supports are very similar to the Front Support except the reinforcing arms are longer. See the Back Support and Outside Support figure.



Note that I did not include exact dimensions for the pieces. You must measure your particular shed (they may vary the design) so that the supports just fit inside the shed. The plastic walls of the shed will be attached to these supports to strengthen them.



Two supports connect the Front Support to the Back Support. Measure the length to fit your shed. I welded a short straight bar to the top and an angle bracket to the bottom of both ends so that the interior support beams can be attached to the Front and Back Supports using bolts. This allows the structure to be disassembled for transport. I also mode two support arms for each of the interior beams. See the Interior Support figure.



Note that the top 'hinge' of the Doors are held into place by the Roof. Since our Roof is going to slide off we need to add a new structure to support the top hinge of the Doors. To do this I purchased a plastic cutting board and cut it into two pieces. I drilled a hole for the Door hinge to fit through and mounted it to the Front frame where the Roof holes would be. The Doors can now be installed.
