BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• Consult your local authorities for any permits required to construct shed. Prior to the construction of your shed, check with the local building code official to review any required permits or building limitations.
• A level and sturdy foundation is required before shed construction can begin. Site preparation information is available on pages 10-11. A foundation that differs from the suggestions within this manual could prevent proper assembly and may damage parts.
• Read instructions thoroughly prior to assembly. This kit contains parts that can be damaged if assembled incorrectly or in the wrong sequence. Please follow instructions. Suncast is not responsible for replacing parts lost or damaged due to incorrect assembly.
• Assistance is required during entire assembly.

IMPORTANT
OPEN ALL BOXES FIRST AND NEATLY LAYOUT PARTS. SMALL PARTS MAY BE CONTAINED IN EACH BOX. PLEASE REFERENCE PARTS LIST WITHIN THIS MANUAL TO VERIFY ALL PARTS ARE PRESENT. COMPLETE SITE PREPARATION AND FOUNDATION CONSTRUCTION BEFORE UNPACKING ALL PARTS.

CAUTION

Shed Safety and Care

• Hot items, such as recently used grills, blowtorches, etc., must not be stored in the shed.
• Heavy articles should not be leaned against the walls, as this may cause panel distortion and permanent damage.
• Keep roof clean of snow and leaves.
• The shed walls and roof sections have a textured exterior, much like vinyl home siding. Over time, dust may accumulate in the texture. When combined with moisture, this could encourage the growth of moss or mold on the shed. To maintain the look of your shed, we recommend cleaning it each year with mild soap and water. Do Not use bleach, ammonia, or other caustic cleaners, and Do Not use stiff bristle brushes. Failure to perform annual cleaning could result in permanent staining of the plastic.
