WARNINGS & NOTICES
- Failure to follow these warnings may result in serious injury or property damage and will void warranty.
- To ensure safety, do not attempt to assemble this product without following the instructions carefully.
- Consult all local building codes to verify if the shed requires a building permit.
- Verify the foundation is completely level before assembling the shed.
- Be aware that plastic pieces can be damaged by overtightening the screws. To avoid damage, we strongly recommend the use of a drill with a low torque setting. A #2 Phillips screwdriver may also be used.
- Three capable adults are required for assembly.
- All who participate in the assembly process should wear safety glasses throughout the assembly.
- If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.
- In heavy snowfall areas, we recommend removing snow from the roof. Remove the snow from the roof when the depth of snow equals the length of your hand.
- Do not use or store hot objects near the product.
- Proper and complete assembly are essential to reduce the risk of accident or injury.
- When drilling through metal, beware of burrs, shavings and other sharp edges.
- During and after assembly, do not slide or lift the shed by pushing up on the roof. Move the shed by pushing on the corner panels only.
- Failure to anchor the shed may result in property damage and/or personal injury. The last section, Shed Anchoring, in this manual shows the hardware you will need to complete the anchoring. You can fi nd the hardware at your local hardware store.
- Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or not following instructions. Use caution when using this product.
PLATFORM CONSTRUCTION
- You must provide a platform on which to assemble your shed. Proper building permit documentation may be required in your neighborhood. Consult all local building codes prior to assembling the shed. Before beginning assembly, you must pour or construct a platform. There are two types:
- Concrete
- Wood Frame
Select the type, but know the surface must be leveled before installation. If the surface is not properly leveled, the shed will not assemble correctly. Proper surface leveling will save you time in the long run, so please do not ignore this step. We recommend a Concrete platform. It will be the most durable and long-lasting choice. The platform you choose must be built above ground in order to avoid water pooling inside the shed. All lumber must be rated for outdoor use!
SECTION 1 (CONTINUED)
CONCRETE REQUIRED 
1. 1 CONCRETE PLATFORM
The concrete should be approximately 4 in (≈10,2 cm) thick. The actual
dimensions of the shed, at its widest and longest points, are 96 in x 120 in
(≈2,44 m x ≈3,05 m). Ensure you select a site that will accommodate these
measurements. The fl oor dimensions are a bit smaller than those of the roof;
therefore, you will need to builld a level surface of 93 1/2 in x 118 1/4 in
(≈2,38 m x ≈3,00 m). 
WOOD REQUIRED 1.2 WOOD PLATFORM
WOOD REQUIRED
1.2.1
- Ensure all lumber is treated and approved for outdoor use. Build frame to 93 1/2 in x 118 1/4 in
- (≈2,38 m x ≈3,00 m) (outside dimensions).
1.2.2 To ensure studs are in the correct location for nailing plywood in the next step, start measuring from the corner 16 in (≈40,1 cm), and then measure from center to center.
WOOD REQUIRED
1.2.3 Square the frame measuring from corner to corner.
1.2.4 Using nails, fasten the plywood to the frame. Then,
drill holes for drainage.
TRUSS ASSEMBLY
Sometimes during shipping, the truss brace (AFG) slides over the back of the
truss gutter channel (DSQ or DSR). The two pieces are the same color. If you
think you’re missing a truss brace, check to see if is stuck to the back of
the truss gutter channel, and separate the two.
