SAFETY PRECAUTIONS... 02H Safety precautions MUST be followed at all times throughout the construction of your building! Care must be taken when handling various pieces of your building since many contain sharp edges. Please wear work gloves, eye protection and long sleeves when assembling or performing any maintenance on your building. Practice caution with the tools being used in the assembly of this building. Be especially familiar with the operation of all power tools.
ASSEMBLY TIPS & TOOLS 03A Watch the Weather Closely: Be sure the day you choose to install your building is dry and calm. Do NOT attempt to assemble your building on a windy day. Be careful on wet or muddy ground. Use Teamwork: Two or more people are required to assemble your building. One person can hold the parts or panels in place while the other person fastens them together and handles the tools. This makes the process of assembling your building faster and safer.
04A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. How long will it take to assemble the building? A. Assembly time depends on a variety of factors, including roof design, tools available, DIY skill and the pace at which you work. Guidelines for each shed assembly are approximate AFTER completion of the base, and assume two or more people working on the assembly. Generally, you should plan on at least one day working with someone who can assist you; again, after constructing the base.
05A Q. What kind of base do I use? A. You can: •Use an Arrow Base Kit •Pour a concrete slab •Build a wood deck/floor (use exterior-grade plywood) •Use patio blocks •Build on crushed gravel, dirt or grass Arrow provides a base kit accessory that is an option for most building sizes. If you are building a wood deck/floor, an Arrow floor frame kit on top of your deck/floor assembles in minutes and provides a floor frame suitable for a 5/8” exterior-grade plywood floor (not included).
Q. What if the rear wall angle and channels are too large to fit inside of the rear wall panels? A. Check the dimensions of wall assemblies. They should be slightly smaller than the floor 06A frames. Lay the assemblies on top of the rear floor frame and pull them up to the top of the wall panels causing the corner panels to stand erect and not lean inward. Caution: Be careful to not scratch the panels on the way up. Q. The wide rib always overlaps the crimped rib. Is there ever an exception? A.

CONSTRUCTING A BASE... 12AH No matter which of the options below you choose for a base, an ARROW ANCHORING KIT is recommended as an effective method of properly securing your building after assembly is complete. OPTION 1: Directly on ground (earth) Assemble your building directly on level ground (grass, dirt, rock, sand, etc.). Allow 1 - 2 hours for construction. OPTION 2: Wood Platform If you decide to build your own base, be sure to select the appropriate materials.

Roof Install Prep Page 20BL Use the information on this page to complete steps 8 and 9. If Roof Beam holes do not line up with Roof Panel holes, shift the building from left to right. If this does not help, your building may not be level. Shim the corners until holes line up. Measure the building diagonally again to make sure the building is square. The building should be square at the base and at the top. This will make roof panels fit better and holes will better align.

ANCHORING OPTIONS... 43A IMPORTANT: • • • • If you have swing doors, they must hang and swing level before anchoring building. Anchor your building at this time. See below for details on anchoring. If you have purchased a Floor Frame Kit, you should install it at this time. Please take a moment to ensure that the building is installed in accordance with these instructions and with all applicable regulations.
CARE & MAINTENANCE... 44A Exterior Care: For a long lasting finish, clean and wax the exterior surface. We recommend washing with a mild soap solution. DO NOT use power washing to clean your shed. Using a spray automotive type wax periodically on the exterior is highly recommended if you are in a high humidity or coastal climate region. Combustibles and corrosives must be stored in air tight containers designed for chemical and/or combustible storage.
