Kingfisher Garden Shed 5059340875408 Assembly Instructions
This document provides detailed instructions for assembling your Kingfisher Garden Shed.
Important Safety Instructions
- Check local planning permission before installation.
- Ensure access to all sides of the shed during construction.
- Ensure you have a good, firm, and level foundation before starting assembly.
- Carefully follow all assembly steps.
- Verify all parts are present before starting.
- Ensure the base is firm and level; remove any obstructions.
- Sort all parts by number before assembly.
- Always wear work gloves, long sleeves, and safety goggles during assembly. Some components may have sharp edges.
- Use tools carefully and familiarize yourself with their operation.
- Keep children and animals away from the assembly site.
- Ensure ladder stability if used; never rest full weight on the roof or other parts.
- Do not attempt assembly in strong windy conditions.
- Wear safety eyewear when using power tools and ensure they are watertight.
- Do not place items on unbuilt components to maintain their original condition.
- The shed must be built on a solid foundation (reinforced concrete or large concrete slabs recommended).
- Ensure the foundation allows for a 10 cm perimeter and is level with adequate drainage.
- Foundation choice and construction are not covered by warranty.
- For concrete foundations, prepare a base layer of stones/pebbles and ensure a minimum thickness of 10 cm. Allow cement to dry for at least 48 hours.
- Anchor the shed firmly to the foundation to protect it from strong winds.
- Do not store pool chemicals in the shed. Store combustible and corrosive materials in watertight containers.
- Adjust drill torque limits to prevent damage to metal parts.
- Check dimensions for perfect squaring of the foundation.
- Remove protective films before assembly.
- Use screws with plastic washers only on pre-painted surfaces.
- Remove snow from the roof after snowfall (over 10 cm can be hazardous).
- Disassembly should follow manual instructions in reverse order.
- Do not walk on the roof (risk of falling).
- Choose a dry and calm day for installation. Avoid windy weather.
- Be careful of wet or muddy ground.
- Site Selection: Avoid overhanging trees. Nearby trees/bushes/fences can act as windbreaks.
- Site Preparation: Ensure the site is level. Use the foundation base as shown on packaging. Do not build directly on lawn. Ensure concrete pads slope for drainage. Allow concrete to dry.
