As a proud owner of a Cedar shed gazebo, garden shed or outdoor furnishing(s), we want you to safely enjoy it for many years to come. Our products are built for use based on proper installation on level ground and normal residential use. Please follow the Assembly Manual when building the structure, and keep this manual as a reference for future maintenance.
When using power tools, ladders or any other tool, observe all safety precautions recommended by the manufacturer. Always use appropriate safety equipment, including eye protection.
Customers agree to hold Cedar shed Industries (1992) Inc. and any Authorized Dealers free of any liability for improper installation, maintenance and repair of any Cedar shed product.

Some Safety Tips to Consider Include

1. Roof Snow Load Ratings vary by geographical location. If a heavy or wet snowfall occurs, it is advisable to clear the snow off the roof.
2. If the structure is elevated above ground, local Building Code requirements are solely the owners responsibility, and should be abided by.
3. In high or gusty wind conditions it is advisable not to use the structure, and it may be advisable to keep the structure securely grounded
4. Have a regular maintenance plan to ensure floors, walls, doors, windows, roofing members etc. are secure and ready for adverse weather conditions.
5. In some geographical regions, our products are not rated for human occupancy. Please check with local authorities if this is the intended use.
6. It is important to properly prepare the foundation to ensure the proper construction of Cedar shed products.
   Please review the information in this Assembly Manual or our web site or alternatively, consult with a professional with knowledge on properly preparing a foundation.

Our customers love telling us their Cedar shed stories and we are proud to hear them.

Foundation Preparation for ‘The 8 x 3 Bayside’

WHAT SHOULD I DO TO PREPARE THE SITE?
Before you begin assembly, clear the construction area. Remove all debris; roots, grass, rocks etc. Make sure the ground slopes away from the site at least 10 feet in all directions. If necessary, build up the soil in the center of the site and slope away from the high point to provide drainage. Fill in any low spots within the perimeter of the site. GRADE A SLOPE OF 1/8″ PER FOOT, enough to prevent water accumulation. We recommend excavating the site 4″ deep and laying gravel or crushed rock where drainage may be a concern.

WHAT TYPE OF FOUNDATION SHOULD I USE?

Concrete Patio Stone Foundation (Option 1):
If the ground is stable and has sufficient drainage, you can set patio stones directly on firm compacted soil. If not, lay the Patio Stones on gravel or crushed rock. Place the Patio Stones at the load bearing points of the floor and under each doorway post. You may wish to slide the exterior Patio Stones a few inches under the Floor Joist System to reduce a tripping hazard.
With all of the Patio Stones in place, you are now ready to level the Patio Stone Foundation.
Using a shovel, add or remove soil beneath each Patio Stone to adjust the level. Use a carpenters level on a long straight piece of lumber on end to level from one Patio Stone to another for all the Patio Stones. Remember to compact (soil/sand/gravel) as much as possible under each Patio Stone. It is recommended that you level the outside Patio Stones first and then work your way inward.

Concrete Slab Foundation (Option 2)
Typically a slab 3″-4″ thick laid over a subbase of 4″ of gravel or crushed rock is sufficient but may vary (consult your local Cedar shed supplier). Either mix your own concrete or have it delivered to your site. A 10′ x 10′ x 4″ slab will require approximately 1 cubic yard of concrete. In any case, make sure you excavate the slab area to a depth of 6″, use 4″ of gravel as your subbase, Welded Wire Mesh as reinforcing (optional) and 4″ of concrete (trowel to allow for drainage away from the center high point).
THE CONSTRUCTION OF ‘THE GARDEN SHED’ MUST BE DONE ON A LEVEL FOUNDATION AND BE IN ITS FINAL LOCATION. PLACE ADDITIONAL FOUNDATION PADS AS YOU FEEL NECESSARY TO STABILIZE THE FLOOR SYSTEM. YOU MUST HAVE A LEVELED FOUNDATION BEFORE PROCEEDING TO LAY FLOOR ASSEMBLY.

Affix the plywood panels as per Fig. F-3 using 2″ screws on 12″ centers and affixing the plywood to each row of joist. The finished floor is shown in Fig. F-4.

• Layout all wall and door panels flat on the ground around the completed floor system as shown (FIGURE S1).
• Attach 2″ x 3″ Wall Headers to the 4 solid wall panels that do not have one with 3 – 3″ screws as shown (FIGURE S2).
• Starting from a rear corner, raise and attach an end wall panel to the floor with 3 – 3″ screws (FIGURE S3).

Ensure the base plate of the wall panel is flush with the floor boards

Note – Siding must not sit on the floor panel, it should be on the outside

Wall Assembly

• Continue installing all panels except for the door panel using 5 – 3″ screws to attach each of the panels together and 3 – 3″ screws to attach to the floor.

Door Hinge Installation

• Before installing the door panel, the hinges need to be mounted. Make sure there is an 18″ [3mm] gap at the top of the door, middle, and of the non hinge vertical edge of the door. See Figure 8 below for details. These gaps will allow the door to open freely. Use the 116″ drill bit to pre-drill the holes before installing the hinges.
• Now attach the door panel into place using 12 – 3″ screws to attach the adjoining panels.

Top Plate & Infill Walls

• When all the Door and Wall Panels are standing, you will now attach the 2″ x 3″ Top Plates (FIGURE S9 & FIGURE S10)
• When all the Walls and Top Plates are in place, you will now attach the two Roof Gables and the two Infill Walls with 3″ screws (FIGURE S11 and FIGURE S12). Use 2 – 3″ screws to attach gable and infill walls together at each joint and use 3 – 3″ screws to attach each gable and infill wall to top of the walls,

Roof Flashing Installation

• When complete, take the Metal Flashing Shingles and slide them one by one between the rows of Cedar Shingles along the Roof Panels Joints (FIGURE S15)

Trim Board Installation

1. Shown here is a cross-section diagram showing how the soffits and fascia would appear after they have been applied.

2. All trim is minor bundled for easy identification.

3. ALL TRIM BOARDS SHOULD BE APPLIED WITH THE ROUGH (OR WHAT IS NORMALLY REFERRED
   TO AS THE RESAWN FACE) FACE EXPOSED. As you will note the cedar plywood face of the shed is also a resewn texture. This is done to allow the cedar fiber to better accept the stain. so to better protect your trim pieces they should also have the resewn exposed.

4. IT IS ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT A GOOD LATEX CAULK BE APPLIED TO THE SEAMS BETWEEN WALL PANELS. THIS HELPS TO KEEP ANY WATER OUT THAT MAY SOAK IN UNDER THE TRIM BOARDS.

5. Depending on the choice of the door location there may be some trimming of the trim boards required.
   Altering trim boards if door is on the 4 ft [1219mm] narrow side of the high wide side of the shed.
   1 – 1 x 2 x 87 1/2″ (P-1287G) trim board needs to be cut to 1 – 80 ½” (P-1208G) and 1 – 10 1/2″ pieces. The P-1208G trim will be used as a trim board on the wide low side of the shed. The 10 1/2″ will be used on the gable panel above the door (refer to future steps for in trim details B & C.)
   Altering trim boards if door is located on the wide high side of the shed.
   This trim board cutting is in addition to the noted cut required.
   1 – 1 x 3 ¼” x 87½” (P-13C87G) trim board needs to be cut to 1 – 79 ¼” (P-13C79C) and 1 – 10 1/2″ pieces. The P-13C79C trim will be used as a corner trim on the narrow low wall. The 10 1/2″ piece will be used on the high wall gable (refer to a future step in trim detail C.).

Here is the order they should be applied,

1. Soffit (smooth both sides)
2. Corner trim (resawn face out)
3. Gable trim (resawn face out)
4. Fascia (resawn face out)
   (Detailed diagrams on following pages)

Installing the Top Skirting at Gable and High Wall Panels
Pry the last horizontal bevel siding piece on the bottom of the gable panel slightly. Do not use too much force or the bevel siding will break.
Slide in the skirting, behind the bevel siding as shown on diagram B
Nail the skirting piece through the bottom of the above piece of the bevel siding and through the bottom of the skirting piece as shown on diagram C

Trim – Soffit

• There are three pieces of soffit to be attached on the low wide side of the shed. Using 2 – 1 3 4″ nails for each end of the soffit and 1 – 1 3 4″ nail for the center of each soffit attach the soffit to the underside of the rafter ends. For details refer to Figure S20 below.
