3. Setup and Assembly

• Choose a level and stable location for the shed. The integrated base allows installation on grass, soil, or gravel.

3.2 Assembly Steps (General Guidelines)

1. Assemble the Foundation Base: Begin by constructing the integrated heavy-duty foundation base. This provides a stable, raised platform for the shed.
2. Install Wall Panels: Attach the galvanized steel wall panels to the base, ensuring they are properly aligned. The overlapping design creates a waterproof seal.
3. Construct the Roof Frame: Assemble the roof frame components. The sloped roof design is crucial for water runoff.
4. Attach Roof Panels: Secure the roof panels to the frame. Ensure all screws and fasteners are tightened to prevent leaks.
5. Install Doors: Mount the double doors, ensuring they open and close smoothly. Install the locking mechanism.
