1. Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the assembly and proper use of your Arrow Floor Frame Kit FKCS05. This kit is designed to create a raised base for your Arrow Classic and Select storage sheds, ensuring your stored items remain clean and dry by elevating them off the ground. The frame also aids in proper drainage beneath your shed.
The Arrow Floor Frame Kit FKCS05 is compatible with X-Large Arrow Classic and Select shed sizes: 10' x 11', 10' x 12', and 10' x 14'.
2. Important Safety Information
- Sharp Edges: Exercise caution during assembly as some metal components may have sharp edges. Always wear protective gloves.
- Ground Preparation: Ensure the ground where the shed and floor frame will be installed is level and properly prepared to ensure stability and proper function.
- Flooring Material: DO NOT USE pressure-treated plywood. If pressure-treated lumber comes into contact with your Arrow product, it will cause accelerated corrosion and VOID your warranty. Use 5/8” minimum thickness, exterior-grade plywood with a waterproof adhesive.
- Assembly Assistance: Assembly is easier and safer with two people.
3. Package Contents
Your Arrow Floor Frame Kit FKCS05 includes all necessary galvanized steel frame components and hardware for assembly. Flooring material (e.g., plywood) is sold separately.
Please refer to the included parts list in your physical manual for detailed component identification. The frame components are constructed from hot-dipped galvanized steel for superior corrosion resistance.
4. Tools Required
The following tools are recommended for assembly:
- Philips screwdriver
- Pliers
- Protective Gloves
- Tape Measure
- Level
- Shovel (for site preparation)
5. Setup and Assembly
The floor frame kit is designed for easy assembly after your Arrow storage shed has been erected. Follow these general steps:
- Prepare the Site: Ensure the ground inside your erected shed is level and clear of debris.
- Assemble the Outer Frame: Connect the perimeter pieces of the floor frame using the provided hardware.
- Install Cross Members: Place the internal cross members within the assembled outer frame. These pieces will create the support structure for your chosen flooring material.
- Secure Components: Fasten all frame components securely using the provided screws and a Philips screwdriver. Ensure all connections are tight for a stable base.
6. Operating Instructions (Adding Flooring)
Once the floor frame is fully assembled and secured within your shed, you can proceed with adding your chosen flooring material.
- Select Plywood: Choose exterior-grade plywood with a minimum thickness of 5/8 inches and a waterproof adhesive. Remember, do not use pressure-treated plywood.
- Cut Plywood: Measure the dimensions of the floor frame and cut the plywood sheets to fit precisely over the frame.
- Attach Plywood: Securely attach the plywood to the galvanized steel frame using appropriate fasteners (not included with the frame kit). This completes your shed floor, providing a solid, elevated surface for storage.
7. Maintenance
The Arrow Floor Frame Kit is constructed from hot-dipped galvanized steel, offering superior corrosion resistance. To ensure longevity:
- Regularly inspect the frame for any signs of damage or loose connections. Tighten fasteners as needed.
- Keep the area around and under the shed clear of debris to promote air circulation and prevent moisture buildup.
- Avoid direct contact of the galvanized steel with dissimilar metals or chemicals that could accelerate corrosion.
8. Troubleshooting
- Uneven Floor: If the floor frame appears uneven after assembly, re-check the levelness of your ground preparation. The frame relies on a stable, level surface for optimal performance.
- Missing Parts: In the event of missing components, please contact Arrow customer support immediately for assistance.
- Corrosion Concerns: Ensure no pressure-treated wood is in direct contact with the galvanized steel frame, as this can lead to accelerated corrosion and void your warranty.
