Rubbermaid 5H80 User manual

Congratulations and thank you for the purchase of your Rubbermaid 7' x 7' storage building. Before you begin assembly please
be sure to check your local building codes, ordinances and restrictions, and applicable neighborhood governances.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN – SURFACE PREPARATION
To ensure proper assembly and performance your shed needs to be built on a solid, level surface. A cement or patio surface, or
a treated-wood platform is recommended.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN – LOCATION
When choosing a location in your yard make sure you choose an area with easy access and one that provides proper drainage
for water to run away from the shed location.
