Fitting the Super Shed Shackle to your shed

Updated on Oct 12, 2026

The Super Shed Shackle needs suitable structural material and the correct fixing arrangement. Follow the instructions supplied with your product: advice for the older Shed Shackle and its extension bars does not automatically apply to the current design.

Can it be fitted to a stud wall?

If you can access both sides, the coach bolts need to pass through suitable structural timber rather than only the wall lining. Check the timber thickness and choose bolts long enough for the complete fixing arrangement.

The smaller installation screws in the kit are not the main security fixings. If you cannot access the other side of the wall, contact us about an alternative arrangement before fitting.

Can I use it in a metal or plastic shed?

Contact us with the shed model and photos before buying. Wall strength, profile and suitable fixings differ from a timber shed. Ridges and weak panels can prevent the bracket from being supported correctly.

An older metal-shed fitting kit should not be treated as blanket approval for using the current Super Shed Shackle on any metal shed.

Can I buy replacement bolts or a fitting kit?

Replacement fitting kits may be available. The wooden-shed kit uses standard M8 coach bolts, but the correct length and the specified security nuts and washers are important.

If you only need bolts, tell us the timber thickness and existing arrangement. If other security hardware needs replacing too, contact us to check the complete kit rather than substituting ordinary nuts.
