Owner's Manual
Before beginning construction, check local building codes regarding footings,
location
and other requirements. Study and understand this owner's manual.
Important information and helpful tips will make your construction easier and more
enjoyable.
Assembly Instructions: Instructions are supplied in this manual and contain all
appropriate information for your building model. Review all instructions before you
begin, and during assembly, follow the step sequence carefully for successful results.
Flooring and Anchoring: Your storage building must be anchored to prevent wind
damage. A base is necessary to construct a square and level building. Anchoring
and base materials are not included with your building. We recommend the
combined use of an Arrow Floor Frame Kit and an Arrow Anchoring Kit as an
effective method of securing your building to the ground (Available at your local dealer,
Arrow's website arrowsheds.com or call Arrow's Customer Service department 1-800-
851-1085) or you may construct a base and anchoring system of your choice. Your
assembly instructions provide information on a few methods commonly used to secure
and level a storage building.
Parts and Parts List: Check to be sure that you have all the necessary parts for
your building.
•All part numbers can be found on the parts. All of these numbers (before the -) must agree
with thenumbers on the Parts List page.
•If you find that a part is missing, include the model number of your building and contact:

stepsshow how to join related parts to make larger sub assemblies which will be used later.
•Familiarize yourself with the hardware and fasteners for easier use during construction.
These arepackaged within the carton. Note that extra fasteners have been supplied for your
convenience.

Watch the Weather: Be sure the day you select 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.
Teamwork: Whenever possible, two or more people should work together to
assemble your building. One person can position parts or panels while the other is able to
handle the fasteners and the tools.
Tools and Materials: These are some basic tools and materials you will need for the
construction of your building. Decide which method of anchoring and the type of
base youwish to use in order to form a complete list of the materials you will need.
Required
•Eye Goggles
•No. 2 Phillips Screwdriver
(With Hardened Magnetic Tip)
Note: A power screwdriver or vari-
able speed drill with Phillips-tip
attachment can speed assembly by
as much as 40%.
Required
•Work Gloves
•Step Ladder
•Utility Knife /
Scissors
•Pliers
•Carpenter's Level
•Tape Measure
Optional Time-
Savers
•Wrench / Nut Driver
•Electric / Cordless Drill
•Square
•String (for squaring frame)
Base Preparation
•Hammer and Nails
•Spade or Shovel
•Hand Saw / Power Saw
•Lumber and/or Concrete
Selecting and Preparing Your Site: Before assembly, you will want to decide on a
location for your building. The best location is a level area with good drainage.
•Allow enough working space for ease of moving parts into position during assembly. Be sure
there will be enough space at entrance for doors to open fully and enough space around the building to
be able to fasten the panel screws from the outside.
A04
PLAN AHEAD....

•Before you begin the first steps in assembling your parts, a base should be constructed
andan anchoring system should be ready to use.

Safety precautions are important to follow throughout the construction of your building.
•Care must be taken when handling various
pieces of your building since some contain
sharp edges. Please wear work gloves, eye
protection and long sleeves when
assembling or performing any
maintenance on your building.
•Practice caution with the tools being used in
the assembly of this building. Be familiar with
the operation of all power tools.

•Keep children and pets away from
worksite to avoid distractions and any
accidents which may occur.
•Never concentrate your total weight on the
roof of the building. When using a step
ladder make sure that it is fully open and on
evenground before climbing on it.
•Do not attempt to assemble the building if
parts are missing because any building left
partially assembled may be seriously
damaged by light winds. Call 1-800-851-1085
or assist@ arrowsheds.com
•Do not attempt to assemble the building on a
windy day, because the large panels acting as
a "sail", can be whipped about by the wind
making construction difficult and unsafe.
A05
SAFETY FIRST....

Do not store swimming pool chemicals in your building. Combustibles
andcorrosives must be stored in air tight approved containers.
Finish: For long lasting finish, periodically clean and wax the exterior surface. Touch-up
scratches as soon as you notice them on your unit. Immediately clean the area with a
wire brush; wash it and apply touch-up paint per manufacturer's recommendation.
Roof: Keep roof clear of leaves and snow with long handled, soft-bristled broom.
Heavy amounts of snow on roof can damage building making it unsafe to enter. In snow
country, Roof Strengthening Kits are available for most Arrow Buildings for added
protection against heavy snow accumulation. Contact Arrow as outlined on the
Ordering Accessories pageto place an order.
Doors: Always keep the door tracks clear of dirt and other debris that prevent them
from sliding easily. Lubricate door track annually with furniture polish or silicone spray.
Keep doors closed and locked to prevent wind damage.
Fasteners: Use all washers supplied to protect against weather infiltration and to
protect the metal from being scratched by screws. Regularly check your building for
loose screws, bolts, nuts, etc. and retighten them as necessary.
Moisture: A plastic sheet (vapor barrier) placed under the entire floor area with good
ventilation will reduce condensation.
Other Tips....
•Wash off inked part numbers on coated panels with soap and water.
•Silicone caulking may be used for watertight seals throughout the building.
Keep this Owner's Manual and Assembly Instructions for future reference.

No matter which of the options below you choose for a base, an ARROW ANCHORING KIT is
recommended as an effective method of properly securing your building after assembly is complete.
OPTION1: Directlyon ground (earth)
Assemble your building directly on level ground (grass, dirt, rock, sand, etc.). If you choose this option Arrow has a simple kit
available to provide a floor inside the shed to keep stored items off the ground. This kit can be used to support a plywood floor
(wood not included) or be filled with sand/rock to provide a solid surface. (Order No. FB109-A or 68385-A)
Allow 1 - 2 hours for construction.
OPTION2:WoodPlatform
If you decide to build your own base, be sure to select the appropriate
materials.These are the recommended materials for your base:
�2 x 4's (38 mm x 89 mm) Pressure Treated Lumber
�5/8" (15,5 mm) 4 x 8 (1220 mm x 2440 mm) Plywood-exterior grade NOTE: Pressure Treated Lumber must not be used
where itwill make contact with your storage building. The properties of Pressure Treated Lumber will cause accelerated
corrosion.
If Pressure Treated Lumber comes in contact with your storage building your warranty will be voided.
�10 & 4 penny Galvanized Nails �Concrete Blocks (optional)
The platform should be level and flat (free of bumps, ridges
etc.) to provide good support for the building. The necessary
materialsmay be obtained from your local lumber yard.
To construct the base follow instructions and diagram.
Construct frame (using 10 penny galvanized nails)
Measure 16"/24" (40,6 cm/61,0 cm) sections to
constructinside frame (see diagram)
Secure plywood to frame (using 4 penny galvanized nails)
Allow 6 - 7 hours for construction.
OPTION3: ConcreteSlab
Note: Platform/Slab will extend 9/16" (1,4 cm) beyond
floor frame on all four sides. Seal this 9/16" (1,4 cm) of
wood with aroofing cement (not included), or bevel this
9/16" (1,4 cm) of concrete when pouring, for good water
drainage.
The slab should be at least 4" (10,2 cm) thick. It must be level and flat to provide good support for the
frame.The following are the recommended materials for your base.
�1 x 4's (19 mm x 89 mm) (will be removed once the concrete cures)
�Concrete �Sheet of 6 mil plastic
�We recommend for a proper strength concrete to use a
mix of:1 part cement �3 parts pea sized gravel �2 1/2
parts clean sand
Prepare the Site/Construct a Base
1. Dig a square, 6" (15,2 cm) deep into the ground (remove grass).
2. Fill up to 4" (10,2 cm) in the square with gravel and tamp firm.
3. Cover gravel with a sheet of 6 mil plastic.
