How to Select and Prepare Your Building Site:
Before you start to assemble your
building, you will want to decide on a good location. The best location is a level area with good drainage.
• Allow enough working space so it is not diffi cult to move parts into position for assembly. Be sure there will be enough
space at the entrance for the doors to completely open. Also, there needs to be enough space outside the building to be
able to fasten the panel screws from the outside.
• Before assembling any parts, your base should be constructed and an anchoring system should be ready to use.
Watch the Weather Closely:
Be sure the day you choose to install your building is dry and calm.
Do
NOT
attempt to assemble your building on a windy day. Be careful on wet or muddy ground.
Use Teamwork:
Two or more people are required to assemble your building. One person can hold
the parts or panels in place while the other person fastens them together and handles the tools. This
makes the process of assembling your building faster and safer.
Tools and Materials:
Here is a list of some basic tools and materials you will need to assemble
your building. Decide which method of anchoring and the type of base you will use to make a complete
list of the materials you will need.
