Setup and Assembly
The Keter Newton Plus shed is designed for straightforward assembly. It is recommended that two adults perform the assembly. A level and solid foundation is crucial for stability and longevity.
1. Site Preparation
Choose a flat, level surface for your shed. A concrete slab or a well-compacted gravel base is ideal. Ensure adequate drainage around the site.
2. Foundation Installation
If using a separate foundation, ensure it is correctly sized and perfectly level before proceeding with shed assembly.
3. Floor Assembly
Lay out the heavy-duty floor panels according to the instructions. Ensure they interlock securely.
4. Wall Assembly
Attach the wall panels to the floor, following the numerical sequence in your detailed assembly guide. The shed offers flexible assembly options for either front or side entry, allowing you to customize the door placement to suit your space.
