Shed or shed foundation should be placed on concrete footing by use of anchor bolt and nut. Using a carpenters square, line up corners.
3. Attach each side panel (SP ) on top to the roof structure (RS1) and (RS3). Using a dia. 3mm (1/8”) drill with a power drill, make two equal distance holes on the side panel through the roof structure. Drive a self tapping screw (S4) through the side panel to the roof structure. Repeat this for every side panel. See blowup.
