A Before You Begin...
• Consult your local authorities for any permits required to construct shed.
Prior to the construction of your shed, check with the local building code official to review any required
permits or building limitations.
• A level and sturdy foundation is required before shed construction can begin.
Site preparation information is available on pages 11-12. A foundation that differs from the suggestions
within this manual could prevent proper assembly and may damage parts.
• Read instructions thoroughly prior to assembly.
This kit contains parts that can be damaged if assembled incorrectly or in the wrong sequence.
• Please follow instructions.
Suncast is not responsible for replacing parts lost or damaged due to incorrect assembly.
• Assistance is required during entire assembly. [ I]

COMPLETE SITE PREPARATION AND FOUNDATION CONSTRUCTION BEFORE UNPACKING ALL PARTS.
A CAUTION
• Proper site preparation required.
• Shed not intended for use in extreme weather conditions.
• Shed not intended for storage of flammable or caustic chemicals.
• Store heavy items near the bottom of shed.
• Shed not intended for use by children.
• DO NOT stand, sit, or store items on storage shed roof.
• Treat carefully in extreme temperatures.
• Repair or replace broken parts immediately.
• Suncast is not responsible for damage caused by weather or misuse.
• At regular intervals, inspect your shed to make sure that assembly integrity has been maintained.
• Periodically check that the location you have chosen to set your shed is still level.
• This kit contains parts with metal edges. Please be careful when handling.

A Shed Safety and Care
• Hot items, such as recently used grills, blowtorches, etc., must not be stored in the shed.
• Heavy articles should not be leaned against the walls, as this may cause panel distortion and
permanent damage.
• Keep roof clean of snow and leaves.
• The shed walls and roof sections have a textured exterior, much like vinyl home siding. Over time,
dust may accumulate in the texture. When combined with moisture, this could encourage the growth of
moss or mold on the shed. To maintain the look of your shed, we recommend cleaning it each year with
mild soap and water. DO NOT use bleach, ammonia, or other caustic cleaners, and DO NOT use stiff
bristle brushes. Failure to perform annual cleaning could result in permanent staining of the plastic.
This is not a manufacturing defect and is not covered under warranty.
Assembly Day Tips
• Complete site preparation and foundation construction before unpacking parts and
beginning assembly.
• DO NOT attempt to assemble on a day with strong winds.
• DO NOT attempt to assemble on days when temperature is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Set aside appropriate amount of time to completely assemble shed.
• Make sure you have assistance nearby to lift and secure parts in place.
• Wear light duty work gloves while assembling shed.
• Once roof is assembled, a flashlight may be of use when assembling smaller components inside shed.
• DO NOT use a torque wrench or hand drill to tighten provided Easy bolts. Use 010210410 Easy Bolt
Easy Driver tool ( provided) ONLY.
• Suncast provides extra hardware for small fasteners for customer convenience. In some cases, there
will be extra small fasteners once the assembly is complete.
Note: This product contains parts that are used in different orientations to construct the shed. Please take note of
the orientation of the parts shown throughout this instruction manual. Failure to follow instructions could result in
damage to parts. Suncast is not responsible for replacing parts lost or damaged due to incorrect assembly.

Site Preparation and Platform Construction
Materials NOT supplied with BMS7702 Shed Kit
Note: Site preparation is required for this shed. Placing the shed on a constructed foundation is required. Without
a constructed foundation, settling will probably occur, causing distortion and damage to the shed. Suncast is not
responsible for replacing parts damaged or property lost due to incorrect assembly. Warranty requires foundation.
Note: Complete the site preparation and foundation construction before unpacking parts and beginning assembly. For
tips on site preparation, go to www.suncast.com, consult retailer, or local code.
To prepare your shed site, follow the steps below:
1) Consult your local authorities for building codes and covenants before beginning foundation or erecting shed.
2) Before any digging, check with local utilities to determine location of buried cables, pipes, etc.
3) Decide which type of foundation you want:
- Concrete slab, 4" thick
o
- Wood platform
Use exterior grade wood. The wood platform should be set on pier blocks or footing. Consult your local retailer for
help to determine the best anchoring method for your particular installation. The provided plans are sized for the
minimum number of cuts to lumber and plywood.
4) Prepare the building site:
- The ground should slope away from the foundation area to provide drainage.
- The foundation surface must be flat and level.
- A vapor barrier should be provided to prevent excessive condensation in the shed.
- Follow local building codes for a proper vapor barrier.
5) Anchoring the shed to the foundation:
- Consult your local retailer for help to determine the best anchoring method for your particular installation.
- To secure the shed to a concrete slab, use masonry fasteners available at your local hardware retailer.
- To secure the shed to a wood platform, use 1/4" x 3" long lag screws with washers.
Anchoring floor panel to concrete slab
• Secure shed to concrete slab using masonry
fasteners.
• Dimensions allow for shed to fit within the nearest
1" on each side.
Anchoring floor panel to wood platform
• Secure shed to wood platform using 1/4" x 3" lag
screws.
