Assembly Preparation
Before starting, check local building codes for requirements regarding foundations and location. Ensure you have all necessary parts and hardware by separating and identifying them according to the parts list.
Flooring Base Preparation
Prepare the site so the shed base is level all around, verified with a spirit level. The base can be constructed from treated timber or concrete to prevent moisture. The shed is not designed for direct installation on lawn, as the ground can become muddy during rain. If using a concrete pad, ensure it slopes towards the edges for drainage. Allow concrete/cement to dry fully before proceeding. Bases can also be made from bricks or blocks cemented onto firm, level concrete footings.

Assembly Steps Overview
The assembly process involves constructing the base frame, attaching wall panels, and fitting the roof structure. Key actions include:
- Assembling the floor frame using base supports (D1, D2) and frame pieces (P1, P3, P4, P9), secured with hardware like F1 and S3.
- Erecting side walls by connecting vertical frame pieces to the base and to each other.
- Attaching horizontal supports and roof frame components.
- Securing roof panels to the roof frame.
- Connecting roof ridge pieces and ensuring the overall structure is square and level.
- If panels are slightly bent, gently stretch them until flat before installation.
Safety Precautions
Your safety is paramount during assembly:
- Assemble on a dry, calm day. Teamwork (two or more people) is recommended.
- Wear safety gloves, eye protection, and long sleeves. Be mindful of sharp edges.
- Keep children and pets away from the construction site.
- Do not put your full weight on the roof. Use a step ladder safely if needed.
Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and usability of your shed:
- Keep the shed clean using a soft cloth and water if necessary.
- Ensure door tracks are free from dirt and obstructions for smooth sliding.
- Clear snow from the shed roof and entrance, especially after heavy snowfall, to prevent collapse.
- This shed is designed for storage purposes only and is not intended for living.
