SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Most injuries are caused by misuse and/or not following instructions. Use caution when using this shed.

To ensure safety, do not attempt to assemble this shed without following the instructions carefully. Check entire box 
and inside all packing material for parts and/or additional instruction material. Before beginning assembly, read the 
instructions and identify parts using the hardware identifi er and parts list in this document. Proper and complete 
assembly, use and supervision are essential for proper orientation and to reduce the risk of accident or injury. 

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS 

INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.

• Do not use or store hot objects such as grills, blowtorches, welding equipment, etc. in the shed. 
• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.
• Two capable adults are required for shed assembly. (It is also recommended that a third adult function as an instruction reader.)

MODEL #6416

Sentinel 

11’ x 13’ Outdoor Shed

Consult all local building codes, as well as city and county ordinances, to ensure 
that the construction of the Outdoor Shed does not require a building permit. Proper 
building permit documentation may be required in your neighborhood, and it would be 
unfortunate to learn this after constructing the Shed.

Surface must be leveled before installation. We recommend building a level work 
space with a cement or patio style surface. If the surface is not properly leveled, the 
Outdoor shed will not assemble correctly. Proper surface leveling will save you time 
in the long run, so please do not ignore this step.

Instruction  #1012325

5/1/2006

Level Surface Notice:

Building Code Notice:

There is a 1/2” phillips head screwdriver bit included with the shed hardware. This bit 
can be used with any power screwdriver or drill. The plastic pieces of your shed can 
be damaged by overtightening of screws. To avoid damage we strongly recommend 
the use of a low-powered power screwdriver or a drill that has an adjustable clutch 
that is set on a low torque setting. If neither is available, use a hand screwdriver. In 
any case use caution to avoid overtightening the screws.

Screwdriver Notice:

Sharp objects may damage your fl oor. If resting sharp, heavy objects on your shed 
fl oor, place a block of wood between the sharp object and fl oor.
