What to do before my Shed arrives?
Become familiar with this assembly manual and determine if you can•
complete the project yourself or will require a professional contractor.
Clear the construcon area and ensure a clear pathway for delivery when•
the freight company arrives. Remove all debris: roots, grass, rocks, etc.
Excavate the site. Contact your local ulies company to ensure there are•
no gas or electric lines buried in the area before digging.
Decide on the type of foundaon you will be using:•
 Concrete slab, or
 46 inches of crushed gravel with paver stones or 4x4 stringers.
You can find the footprint for your shed on Page 3 of your Assembly Manual.
If doing the assembly yourself, have all the necessary tools ready to go and in•
working condion. A list of required tools can be found aer the parts list.
One helper is recommended to assist in construcng your shed.•
It generally takes two people over two days to assemble a shed. If you’re
hiring a contractor, their rate should be in line with that duraon of work.

—stained or painted immediately.

Advice: Prior to fastening walls and installing rafters, take time to confirm your walls are level, square and plumb.
Measure diagonal at top and bottom of walls corner-to-corner. This should be approximately 159 7/8”. More importantly,
if measurements are not within 1/4”, your walls are not square. Adjusting now will make it easier to install roof section.
