Before You Begin
● Check local building codes regarding shed location and any other local requirements.
● Check the packing list on page iv to make sure you have all of the necessary parts.
● Separate everything in the cartons by the part number while reviewing the parts list.
● Be sure the day you select to build your shed is dry and calm.
● Whenever possible, two or more people should work together to assemble the shed.
We suggest that one person positions parts while the other handles the fasteners and tools.
Before assembly, decide on a location for your building. We recommend a level area with
good drainage. Allow enough space around the building so there’s plenty of room to screw
the panels and then move the different parts into position. Remember to leave plenty of
room for the door to fully open.
● An electric drill/driver
● A Phillips screwdriver
● Gardening or work gloves
● Sealant or caulking gum (optional )
● Step ladder
● Tape measure
Safety First
Safety precautions are important to follow throughout the construction of your building.
● Take care when handling the various pieces of your building since some contain sharp
edges. Please wear work gloves, eye protection and long sleeves when assembling or
performing any maintenance.
● Keep children and pets away from your worksite to avoid distractions and any accidents.
● Never concentrate all your weight on the roof of the structure. When using a step ladder
make sure it’s fully open and on a level surface.
● To avoid any damage, do not attempt to assemble the building on a windy day. The larger
panels can act as sails making construction difficult and unsafe.
