Construction Plans
The construction plans for the SO-3×6-A sleepout steel frame kitset show the wall and roof frame layouts, openings and dimensions, so you can check the frame against your site before you order. They are for the standard kitset and are not site-specific; building consent documentation is available through our design team on request.
Site Suitability & Design Notes
Where full building consent plans have not been supplied, the client is to confirm all design parameters, so confirm your site’s wind, snow and ground conditions with our team before ordering. Bracing design is excluded from the base kit; an add-on design for sheet bracing to the walls and strap bracing to the roof can be supplied, with the bracing products supplied by others.
At 5.9° the roof pitch is below the 8° minimum for typical corrugated roofing, so choose a trough/tray or trapezoid profile — NZBC E2 allows these down to 3°. This kitset supplies the steel structure of a sleepout only: whether your project needs building consent, and what insulation, linings and weathertightness a habitable room must meet, depends on your site and council, so check with your local council before you build. All opening sizes on the plans are frame opening sizes, SFML supplies frame-to-frame connections only unless other arrangements are made, and there is no allowance for architectural design or detailing.
Engineering: An engineer’s PS1 is not included. It is available at additional cost on request, or you can use your own engineer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the SO-3×6-A sleepout kitset?
The SO-3×6-A measures 3.0m wide by 6.0m long, an 18m² footprint. Stud heights run from 2420mm up to 2720mm under a 5.9° mono-pitch roof.
What’s included in the kit?
The kit includes six wall frames, two roof frames, roof-to-wall brackets, a site kit of ancillaries (driver bits, gloves, grommets and assembly screws) and construction plans. Doors, windows, floor frames, cladding and roofing are not included, and bracing design is an add-on — see the What’s Included table above.
How big is the door opening?
There is one door frame opening in the long south wall, 2400mm wide by 2100mm high. It is a frame opening size, and the door itself and its frame are supplied by others.
What wind and snow loads is it designed for?
The design is suitable up to High wind zone and snow loads below 1kPa. Confirm your site conditions with our team before ordering.
What roofing suits a 5.9° roof pitch?
A pitch below 8° is not suitable for typical corrugated profiles. NZBC E2 allows trough/tray or trapezoid profiles down to 3°, so choose one of those for this mono-pitch roof.
Are foundations or a floor included?
No. The SO-3×6-A is designed to sit on a slab or timber joist foundation designed by others, or by SFML on request, and neither the foundation nor a floor frame is included in the kit price.
Can you deliver the SO-3×6-A to my site?
Yes. Frames are made in Waimate and delivered free to your nearest Booths Logistics freight depot as a flat bundle pack, or collected from the factory. Pre-assembled frames are available at an additional freight cost.
