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 earlier in this manual. 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.

A Shed Care and Maintenance
• 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.
• Keep roof clean of snow and leaves.
• To maintain the look of your product, we recommend cleaning it at regular intervals with mild soap and
water. DO NOT use bleach, ammonia or other caustic cleaners, and DO NOT use stiff bristle brushes.
Failure to perform cleaning at regular intervals could result in permanent staining of the plastic. This type
of damage is not covered under warranty.
A Assembly Day Tips
• 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. An incomplete shed assembly may
pose a safety ha7ard.
• 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 Easy bolts. Use provided Easy Bolt Driver 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

Site Preparation and Platform Construction
Materials NOT supplied with Shed Kit
Important:
• Site preparation is required for this shed. Placing the shed on a properly constructed, square, flat, smooth
and level foundation, as described below, is required. Without a properly constructed foundation, settling
will eventually occur, causing distortion and damage to the shed. Suncast is not responsible for replacing
parts damaged or property lost due to incorrect foundation construction or improper assembly. Warranty
requires a properly constructed foundation to which the shed must be anchored as instructed below.
• 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.
Site Preparation
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 is most suitable for your installation. The foundation surface must be square, flat, smooth and level.
Follow the below guidelines for foundation options.
4. Complete the foundation preparations as follows:
• A vapor barrier may be applied over the foundation to prevent excessive condensation in the shed.
Follow local building codes for a proper vapor barrier.
• The ground should slope away from the foundation area to provide drainage.
• Placing the shed on surfaces made of materials such as patio blocks or pavers is not acceptable for long-term support structure or
smooth surface. Use of these will void the warranty.
Concrete Slab
• Construct a slab of at least 4" thickness.
• The use of reinforcement bar is recommended.
• For foundations larger than specified below, the shed must rest on a
continuous, level portion of the concrete slab
" Dimensions shown are minimal for proper fit of the shed.
Wood Platform
• Use exterior grade wood.
• Set the wood platform on deck footing blocks
or full footing.
Anchoring the Floor Panels to the Foundation is required
after shed assembly is complete.
• Shed floor panels include flattened areas where anchors or lag screws are to be secured. These flat areas
must be drilled through prior to securing the floor panels to the foundation.
• The shed must be secured to a continuous concrete slab using
3/8" masonry anchors with 3/4" washers ( hardware not included).
8 masonry anchors are required for the Suncast BMS6583 Shed.
Anchor section example
• The shed must be secured to a wood platform using 1/4"-3/8" x 3"
lag screws with 3/4" washers ( hardware not included). 8 lag screws
are required for the Suncast BMS6583 Shed.
Note: Shed floor fastening locations are designed to align with
the under- structure layout. Be sure the front of the floor panels are
oriented correctly on the platform to ensure lag bolts engage with
the under- structure.

Pre- Assembly - Door and Header
Power tools can apply excessive torque resulting in damage to the product. If you choose to use a power drill to assemble
the product, Suncast recommends using a variable speed, cordless drill with a variable clutch set at the lowest setting. A # 2
Phillips driver bit is compatible with the hardware provided. Suncast makes no guarantee that following this recommendation
will prevent damage to the product. Damage to parts due to over- torque are not covered under Suncast's limited- warranty.
This item uses self- tapping screws in some areas. There are no pre- drilled holes. Use force when starting to drive the screw.
Once the screw pierces the plastic it will drive easier.
