Tin sheet/flashing type arrangement

Apologies for the fairly basic question, but I'm struggling a bit...

So, I have a concrete framed Atcost cubicle house. I'd like to put some concrete panel walls between the uprights. The height to the base of the concrete gutter is c3450mm. If I get 2x 1500 panels that obviously leaves me with 450mm to fill. What is the best way of doing this, and does someone make a bit of tin sheet/ flashing arrangement that will do the job? The gutter sits on top of the upright, and I would like to put the wall panels flush with the inside of the upright. The roof extension on the right will probably come down. Hope that makes sense!

the other side is different so I'm thinking of taking the concrete panels up past the gutter level, but not sure. Anyway, any tips gratefully received!

Two courses of block work before panels? Blocks are 215mm high i think, 2 high plus 2 10mm cement joint = 450mm

Thanks. If they went below panels then don't think I'd have room to get the panel in without headstock hitting roof etc? Not done them before- can you tilt them in?

Blocks above panels would mean scaffolding for the brickie, which I would rather avoid if I can- we could do tin from the cage was my thinking.

Do you have any pictures of the panels and where they can be lifted from, can tilt them in but would have to boom out or drive forward to get them in upright, possible with a bag lifter if you have one and the chain/strap as tight to the panel as possible to give better clearance on top of headstock

Perhaps give it a try before you get blocks laid etc. Measure up the side of the posts where the top of the first panel goes and mark it and see if you with have enough tolerance all round to get it in above the mark

Will do, but I can't help thinking that panels on blocks won't be great, and it'll still need some sort of profiled tin arrangement to cover to cover any gap at the top. New concrete paneled grainstores etc have tin above panels, so am hoping there's a fairly standard part.

Will do! Problem is I don't know what the stuff is called or who to ask about it!
All companies that supply metal cladding will be able to make flashings to your dimensions,Get you panels from Unbrako as there lifting attachments are on the back of the panel near the top and these allow the least headroom of all panels we have used in the past
 
Quite an easy finish, using a folded galv flashings. Fit your panels then measure up the gap and send to any cladding/flashings supplier and they will be able to fold it. Use a tapcon fixing or similar to drill the flashing in the new panels and just seal against the underside of the gutter

just get your local black smith or engineering company to fold up some flashing to suit , I had some valleys down here lately using 1.2mm galvanised sheet , was a lot stronger than the sheeting companies supplied flashing but still pliable .
 
Would one 1500 panel on bottom and then one 1000 panel on top be easier then sheet it as normal? May depend if there is room for a sheet behind gutter, a wooden board could be bolted to top of concrete panel to fix sheet to.

Thanks, might be. Going to have a proper measure up on Monday and make a decision. Flashing company seem pretty flexible.

Gutter sits on top of the upright on one side of the shed, and sits inside the shed on the frames on the other side (it's an extension off a bigger shed and doesn't have its own uprights on that side.
