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.
• We strongly recommend anchoring your shed when it is fi nished. 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 and fl at before installation. If the surface is not properly leveled and flat, 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″ (10,2 cm) thick. The actual dimensions of the shed, at its widest and longest points, are 240″ x 96″ (6,05 m x 2,44 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 238 1/4″ x 93 1/2″ (6,05 m x 2,38 m).

WOOD REQUIRED 1.2  WOOD PLATFORM

• All lumber must be rated for outdoor use! The actual dimensions of the shed, at its widest and longest points, are 240″ x 96″ (6,05 m x 2,44 m). Ensure you select a site that will accommodate these measurements. The floor dimensions are a bit smaller than those of the roof; therefore, you will need to builld a level surface of 238 1/4″ x 93 1/2″ (6,05 m x 2,38 m).

TOOLS, PARTS, AND HARDWARE REQUIRED

1.2.1 WOOD PLATFORM

• Ensure all lumber is treated and approved for outdoor use. Build frame to 238 1/4″ x 93 1/2″ (6,05 m x 2,38 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″ (40,1 cm), and then measure from center to center.

TOOLS, PARTS, AND HARDWARE REQUIRED

1.2.3

• Square the frame, measuring from corner to corner. Measurement A & B should be about the same length.

1.2.4

• Using nails, fasten the plywood to the frame. Then, drill 5/16″ (8 mm) holes for drainage.
