•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.
• Do not use or store hot objects near the product.
• Proper and complete assembly are essential to reduce the risk of accident or injury.
• We strongly recommend anchoring your shed when it is finished. The last section, Shed Anchoring, in this manuel shows
the hardware you will need to complete the anchoring. You can find the hardware at your local hardware store.

WARNINGS & NOTICES

4
PLATFORM CONSTRUCTION
1
• 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 flat 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!

• The concrete should be approximately 4" (10,2 cm) thick. The actual dimensions of the shed, at its widest
and longest points, are 84" x 84" (2,13 m x 2,13 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 81
1/2" x 83 3/8" (2,07 m 2,12 m).
