2. Select a site that allows enough working space around the shed.
3. Determine building foundation and anchor system.
4. Read and understand the Owner’s manual enclosed in the package.
5. Follow all directions and dimensions thoroughly.
6. Follow the steps given in the manual carefully for correct assembly.
7. Make sure all parts are present before you start assembling.
8. BE SAFE : Follow safety instructions and avoid injury.
(See inside page).
9. GROUND MUST BE EVEN : Make sure the foundation frame lies flat on
the ground. If the earth bed is uneven, remove sod and other debris and

SAFETY & PRECAUTIONS
For your own safety, please read and follow these instructions during the shed assembly.
1. Always wear work gloves, long sleeves and eye protection
during assembly of the shed. Some pieces of the shed
contain sharp edges and can cause injury.
2. Be cautious with the tools used for the assembly of
the shed.Familiarize yourself with the operation of all
the power tools.
3. Children and pets should be kept away from the assembly
site to avoid any distractions and accidents.
4. When using a step ladder, make sure it is on even ground and
fully open with the safety latch in place. Never concentrate your full
weight on the roof or any part of the shed.
5. Do not attempt to assemble the shed on a windy day.
Shed panels can be whipped across by the wind making the
worksite difficult and dangerous.

4
IMPORTANT
Wear eye protection when using any form of power tools. Do not use voltage power tools in a wet or damp
enviornment to avoid electric shock.
Do not use any part of the shed as a means of personal support while attaching componets during assembly.
The shed must be constructed on a solid base foundation. A concrete pad or a large size concrete patio
stone squares is recommended for suitable floor base. Make sure it is firm and level and will allow drainage
away from the site. The base foundation should be at least 4 inches (100mm) larger than the shed dimensions.
Please refer to the front page of your owner’s manual for the exterior dimensions of the shed. Manufacturer is
not responsible for the choice and construction of the foundation.
For a concrete pad base, prepare a level bed for a firm footing layer of crushed stone. The concrete pad
should then be poured to a thickness of 4 inches (100mm) to 5 inches (125mm). Allow to dry thoroughly
for at least 48 hours
Your shed must be firmly anchored to the concrete pad or large concrete patio stone squares, to help protect
against damage in high winds.
Care & Maintenance
Although this unit does not require any maintenance, care should be taken to prolong the life
of your shed.
ROOF : Keep roof clean of leaves and snow with long handled, soft bristled broom. Heavy amounts
of snow on the roof can damage the shed making it unsafe. Do not step on the roof.
WALLS : Do not rest any object against the wall panels of the shed.
DOORS : Keep doors closed to prevent wind damage.
FASTENERS : Regularly check your shed for loose screws, bolts, nuts, etc. And retighten them as
necessary.
MOISTURE : With changing temperatures, condensation will accumulate inside the shed. Good
ventilation will help in regulating and avoid moisture.
TIP : A noncorrosive caulking is helpful to seal the shed.
DO NOT store swimming pool chemicals in your building.
Combustibles and corrosive must be stored in
air tight containers
