SAFETY PRECAUTIONS…
Safety precautions MUST be followed at all times throughout the construction of your building!
Care must be taken when handling various pieces of your building since many contain sharp edges. Please wear work gloves, eye protection and long sleeves when assembling or performing any maintenance on your building.
Keep children and pets away from the worksite during construction and until the building is completely assembled. This will help avoid distractions and any accidents which may occur.
NEVER concentrate your weight on the roof of the building. When using a step ladder make sure that it is fully open and on even ground before climbing on it.
Practice caution with the tools being used in the assembly of this building. Be especially familiar with the operation of all power tools.
Do NOT attempt to assemble your building on a windy day. The large panels can
catch the wind like a “sail”, causing them to be whipped around making
construction difficult and unsafe.
Do NOT attempt to assemble your building before double checking that you have
all the parts indicated in the parts lists as well as all hardware Any
building left partially assembled may be seriously damaged by even light
winds.
ASSEMBLY TIPS & TOOLS
Watch the Weather Closely: Be sure the day you choose to install your building
is dry and calm.
Do NOT attempt to assemble your building on a windy day. Be careful on wet or
muddy ground.
Use Teamwork: Two or more people are required to assemble your building. One
person can hold the parts or panels in place while the other person fastens
them together and handles the tools. This makes the process of assembling your
building faster and safer.

How to Select and Prepare Your Building Site: Before you start to assemble your building, you will want to decide on a good location. The best location is a level area with good drainage.
- Allow enough working space so it is not difficult to move parts into position for assembly. Be sure there will be enough space at the entrance for the doors to completely open. Also, there needs to be enough space outside the building to be able to fasten the panel screws from the outside.
- Before assembling any parts, your base should be constructed and an anchoring system should be ready to use.
Attention: The top plate can be installed in order or reverse order. If there is a deviation between the top plate and the top frame installation hole, it is generally caused by the diagonal size deviation of the frame beam. The diagonal distance of the frame beam can be measured and adjusted.
