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.
Å level and sturdy foundation is required before shed construction can begin.
Site preparation information is available on pages 19-22. А 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.
Check for all parts before you begin assembly.
Using the provided parts check list on pages 5-18, verify that you have all the parts required to construct your
shed model.
COMPLETE SITE PREPARATION AND FOUNDATION CONSTRUCTION BEFORE UNPACKING ALL PARTS.
Assistance is required during entire assembly.
Use a rubber mallet to “push” parts into locked position. T
Á 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.
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.
e DO NOT attempt to assemble on a day with strong winds.
• DO NOT attempt to assemble on days when temperature is below 32 degrees.
e 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.
e 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 Shed Kit)
Note: Site preparation is required for this shed. Placing the shed on а constructed foundation is required. Without
а 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 below steps:
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
-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.
-А 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 pad, 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. See diagram on page
10 for anchoring locations.
