POSITIONING AND INSTALLATION OF THE SHED
POSITIONING THE SHED
This shed is a temporary structure and is not recommended as a permanent
building. It is designed to offer protection from sun, rain, light snow, tree sap
and bird droppings etc. It is not designed to shelter equipment from
excessively high winds or heavy snow.
Choose your shed location carefully. Check for overhead power lines, tree
branches, etc. DO NOT install near roofs or other structures that may shed snow,
ice or excessive run-off onto your shed.
SITING THE SHED
Erect your shed on level ground over a firm, level area. Allow enough space
near each corner for the ground anchors and tie-down straps supplied to be
used as intended. If the ground area is of tarmac or concrete, the use of
ground anchor holding-down bolts will be required to anchor the shed to the
floor.
Choose a dry location where dampness arising from ground water in the
environment will not undermine the protection offered by the shed.
A masonry floor such as block paving or concrete is ideal, but if this is not
being supplied, a timber or shuttering plywood floor, protected by a suitable
groundsheet should be used. This will help to create a dry storage environment
by insulating the storage space from ground moisture.
Proper anchoring and keeping the cover tight and free of snow and debris is
the responsibility of the user. Damage caused by improper anchoring is not
covered under warranty.
CARE OF THE SHED STRUCTURE
This shed is NOT designed to support heavy snow. Snow or ice accumulation
may cause your shed to collapse. To avoid overload, brush snow and ice off
the roof top with a broom or mop to prevent collapse with the resultant
damage to property or personal injury.
NEVER clear the roof of snow or debris from inside the shed.
DO NOT use hard-edged tools or instruments, such as rakes or shovels to
remove snow. These can cause punctures to the cover.
DO NOT use bleach, alkaline or harsh detergents for cleaning. Doing so will
damage the material. Soap and warm water are recommended.
In order to reduce risk of burning and avoid damage, DO NOT- cook, smoke,
refuel or use any open flame devices in or around the shed.

USING THE STORAGE SPACE
Never run the engine of any machine inside a closed shed. Ensure that there is
adequate ventilation for engines or for any work with paints, cleaners. etc. by
opening the door panel and keeping it raised.
CONDENSATION
Take steps to avoid the buildup of condensation inside the shed. Cool, damp
winter days and moisture from the breath and body heat of personnel may
cause condensation on the inside of the top cover.
A supply of fresh air through the doorway will at least partly remove this issue.
For long term storage of moisture sensitive belongings in all weathers, the use
of a dehumidifier may be required, such as those in the CLARKE range. A
suitable extension lead to a locally available power supply will be required.
Condensation will be much less of an issue during the summer months.
CONSTRUCTION
Have an overview of all parts before attempting installation and make sure all
components are supplied.
