Adherence to safety guidelines is crucial during assembly and use of the storage shed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.

• Always wear protective gloves during assembly to prevent hand injuries. Two pairs of gloves are provided.
• It is recommended that 2 to 4 adults participate in the assembly process for safety and efficiency.
• Ensure the shed is erected on a level concrete or paved base. This shed does not include a floor.
• Plastic protective caps are provided for sharp corners of the ceiling and each screw to prevent injuries. Install them as directed.
• The shed is designed to withstand a maximum wind resistance level of 10 (55 - 63 mph) and a maximum snow load difference of 6 inches. Do not exceed these limits.

3. Setup and Assembly

Careful assembly is essential for the stability and longevity of your storage shed. All components are labeled with part numbers, and a clear instruction manual is included to guide you through the process.

3.1 Unpacking and Inspection

Your storage shed is delivered in three separate packages. These packages may arrive on different days. Due to shipping platform limitations, only one tracking number may be provided initially. If your shipment appears incomplete or if you require additional tracking numbers, please contact customer support directly.

Upon receipt, carefully unpack all boxes and verify that all parts are present against the included parts list. Report any missing or damaged parts to customer support immediately.

3.2 Site Preparation

Select a suitable location for your shed. The site must be level and have a solid foundation, such as concrete or a paved base. This shed does not include a floor, so a prepared base is critical for stability and proper drainage.

3.3 Assembly Process

Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the separate assembly manual. Ensure all screws are tightened securely, but do not overtighten to avoid stripping. Pay close attention to the orientation of panels and frame components.
