Safety precautions MUST be followed at all times throughout the construction of your building!
02BA
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.
Keep children and pets away from the
worksite during construction and until the
building is completely assembled. This will
help avoid distractions and any accidents
which may occur.
Practice caution with the tools being used in
the assembly of this building. Be especially
familiar with the operation of all power tools.
Do NOT attempt to assemble your building
on a windy day. The large panels can catch
the wind like a “sail”, causing them to be
whipped around making construction diffi cult
and unsafe.
Do NOT attempt to assemble your building
before double checking that you have all the
parts indicated in the parts lists (page 9) as
well as all hardware (page 8). Any building
left partially assembled may be seriously
damaged by even light winds.
NEVER concentrate your weight on the
roof of the building. When using a step
ladder make sure that it is fully open and
on even ground before climbing on it.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON ANCHORING
• Your building MUST be anchored to prevent wind
damage. An anchoring kit is not supplied with your
building and you have many options when it comes to
anchoring. See anchoring page for more info.
• You must also have a temporary anchoring system in
place in case you need to take a break from assembly.
See page 4 for more info.

ASSEMBLY TIPS & TOOLS
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.
Tools and Materials: Here is a list of some basic tools and materials you will need to assemble
your building. Decide which method of anchoring and the type of base you will use to make a complete
list of the materials you will need.

WHAT YOU NEED
RECOMMENDED TIME SAVERS
BASE PREPARATION TOOLS
• Work Gloves
• Safety Glasses
• Step Ladder
• No. 2 Phillips Screwdriver (Magnetic Tip Preferred)
• Utility Knife or Scissors
• Pliers
• Carpenter’s Level
• Tape Measure
• Power Drill (Cordless, Variable Speed)

How to Select and Prepare Your Building Site: Before you start to assemble your
building, you will want to decide on a good location. The best location is a level area with good drainage.
• Allow enough working space so it is not diffi cult to move parts into position for assembly. Be sure there will be enough
space at the entrance for the doors to completely open. Also, there needs to be enough space outside the building to be
able to fasten the panel screws from the outside.
• Before assembling any parts, your base should be constructed and an anchoring system should be ready to use.

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. Refer to the clock icons on each product page
on the website for specifi c time estimates.
Q . How do I decide where to put my shed?
A. The key to a successful assembly is to make sure the shed will be square and level when built. The shed can
be assembled directly onto level ground (grass or dirt). If you have location options, choose one that is already
fl at, with good drainage to control moisture. If you don’t have a fl at, well-drained area, you need to prepare the
space. Level the area using cinder blocks, concrete, crushed gravel or other sturdy materials. Once level with good
drainage, construct your base. Using a carpenter’s level, make sure your base is level and free of bumps or ridges
to provide good support for your building.
Q. What if I can’t fi nish my building in one session?
A. If weather conditions change so that it becomes windy or rainy, it is recommended that you stop assembly until
conditions improve. This is for your safety and for protection of the shed. However, do not leave your unfi nished
construction without fi rst temporarily anchoring the walls of the shed and placing weights, such as patio blocks or
sandbags, around the walls. Failure to anchor the building if you leave it while partially assembled could result in
irreparable damage or personal injury if the building collapses.
Q. Do I need to anchor my building?
A. Yes! Fully assembled buildings should be anchored using a permanent anchoring system. If you need to leave
your building before it is completely assembled, you will need to place weights, such as patio blocks or sandbags,
around the fl oor channel.
Q. How do I temporarily anchor my building before it’s fully assembled?
A. An incomplete building must be anchored before breaking for any period of time to prevent possible damage.
•If the building is on a wood base, secure the frame with wood screws in the corners
•If the building is on a concrete base, temporarily anchor the frame in the corners
•Use patio blocks or sandbags along side of the fl oor channel as weights
•Secure the fl oor channel to the ground with ground augers or rope the frame in the corners to the ground
Q. How do I control condensation and prevent water from leaking in?
A. To minimize condensation, install a continuous, unbroken plastic vapor barrier with a thickness of 6 mil. between
exposed ground surface and the building’s base. Make sure that washers are used throughout the assembly
process. Ensure that all washers are fl ush with the panels and do not over-tighten screws, as this can crack the
washers. Silicone caulking may be used to create watertight seals at the washers and throughout the building.

05BA
What kind of base do I use?
Q.
A. You can:
•Pour a concrete slab
•Build a wood deck/fl oor (use exterior-grade plywood)
•Use patio blocks
•Build on crushed gravel, dirt or grass
If you are building a wood deck/fl oor, an Arrow fl oor frame kit on top of your deck/fl oor assembles in minutes and
provides a fl oor frame suitable for a 5/8” exterior-grade plywood fl oor (not included). A continuous unbroken plastic
vapor barrier with a thickness of 6 mil. between the ground and the building’s base is also recommended.
Q. How should I measure for my base?
A. Shed dimensions are provided in “nominal” size. Nominal sizes are roof-edge measurements rounded to the
nearest foot and are not the measurements to use for constructing the shed base. So, carefully check the exact,
recommended base size in the specifi cations for your shed model.
Note: If you have to stop assembly for any reason before it is complete, do not leave your unfi nished construction
without fi rst temporarily anchoring the corners of the shed to your base and placing weights, such as patio blocks
or sandbags, along side the fl oor channels.
Q. Can the building be painted?
A. The buildings can be painted with an exterior-grade paint designed for use on steel. Contact your local paint
supplier for recommendations.
Q. I heard that rust might be an issue with steel; is it?
A. While bare steel can rust, with proper care this should not be an issue. For a long-lasting fi nish, periodically clean
the exterior surface and apply spray-on car wax. Touch up scratches as soon as you notice them by immediately
cleaning the area with a wire brush or emery paper, washing it and applying touch-up paint. This will minimize rust
and maintain your shed’s attractive appearance for years.
Q. How do I take care of dents in my shed?
A. Proper selection of shed size, including a suffi cient door-opening width, and proper placement of your shed
should minimize the possibility of damage. If a dent does occur, carefully push the dent out from the opposite side.
If the paint has been scratched or removed, touch up the area as soon as you notice it. Immediately clean the area
with a wire brush or emery paper, wash it and apply touch-up paint. This will minimize rust and maintain your shed’s
attractive appearance for years.

PANEL & CHANNEL ASSEMBLY TIPS
PANEL
1. Recommend a large table or sawhorses with plywood for working surface.
2. Corners will need to hang off of work surface, so an elevated fl at surface is important.
3. Arrows always point up, and always get covered.
4. Start from middle and work your way out to push together panels.
5. Panels can be pulled apart if not aligned properly. Once channels are applied, the wall assembly will be “fi nal”.
CHANNEL
6. Work from one end and angle the channel. Line up a section and then tap the channel to work it into place.
Continue working your way down the channel.

CARE & MAINTENANCE...
Exterior Care:
For a long lasting fi nish, 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. Corrosive chemicals such as fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides should be cleaned off the interior and
exterior surfaces immediately. Rust caused by chemical damage is not covered by the warranty.
DO NOT STORE POOL CHEMICALS IN YOUR SHED - THIS VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY
Rust protection precautions may help to stop rust from developing, or stop it quickly as soon as it appears.
• Avoid nicking or scraping the coating surface, inside and out.
• Keep roof, base perimeter and door free of debris and leaves which may accumulate and retain moisture. These
can do double damage since they give off acid as they decay.
• Touch up scrapes or nicks and any area of visible rust as soon as possible. Make sure the surface is free of
moisture, oils, dirt or grime and then apply an even fi lm of high quality touch-up paint.
• Various paint manufacturers provide products for rust treatment and coverage. If surface rust does appear on
your shed we recommend treating those areas as soon as possible, following the paint supplier of your choice
instructions.
• Our customer service department can provide the paint tinting formula for matching the color of your shed. We also
have touch-up paint available for repairing small nicks and scratches.
Roof:
Keep the roof clear of leaves and snow. Heavy amounts of snow on the roof can damage the building making it
unsafe to enter.
Fasteners:
Use all washers supplied to protect against weather infi ltration and to protect the metal from being scratched by
the screws. Regularly check screws, bolts, nuts, etc., and retighten as necessary.
General:
• A plastic sheet (vapor barrier) placed under the entire fl oor area may reduce condensation.
• Wash off inked part numbers on coated panels with soap and water.
• Silicone caulking may be used for watertight seals throughout the building.
Please note, Manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any consequences due to buildings that are not installed
per these instructions, or for damage due to weather conditions or acts of God.
Keep these assembly instructions and owner’s manual for future reference.
The fasteners used in each step are shown
actual size at the top of each page. If you
are unsure which fastener to use, hold it up
to the picture and use the one that matches.

Assemble your building directly on level ground (grass, dirt, rock, sand, etc.).
OPTION 2: Wood Platform
If you decide to build your own base, be sure to select the appropriate materials.
These are the recommended materials for your base:
• 2 x 4's (38 mm x 89 mm) Pressure Treated Lumber • 5/8" (15,5 mm) 4 x 8 (1220 mm x 2440 mm) Plywood-exterior grade
• 10 & 4 penny Galvanized Nails • Concrete Blocks (optional)
NOTE: Pressure Treated Lumber must not be used where it will make contact with your storage building. The properties of
Pressure Treated Lumber will cause accelerated corrosion. If Pressure Treated Lumber comes in contact with your storage
building your warranty will be voided.
The platform should be level and fl at (free of bumps, ridges etc.)
to provide good support for the building. The necessary materials
may be obtained from your local lumber yard.
To construct the base follow instructions and diagram.
Construct frame (using 10 penny galvanized nails)
Measure 16"/24" (40,6 cm/61,0 cm) sections to construct
inside frame (see diagram)
Secure plywood to frame (using 4 penny galvanized nails)
OPTION 3: Concrete Slab
The slab should be at least 4" (10,2 cm) thick. It must be level
and fl at to provide good support for the frame.
The following are the recommended materials for your base.
• 1 x 4's (19 mm x 89 mm) (will be removed once the concrete cures)
• Concrete • Sheet of 6 mil plastic
Prepare the Site/Construct a Base
1. Dig a square, 6" (15,2 cm) deep into the ground (remove grass).
2. Fill up to 4" (10,2 cm) in the square with gravel and tamp fi rm.
3. Cover gravel with a sheet of 6 mil plastic.
4. Construct a wood frame using four planks of 1x4 (19 mm x 89 mm)
lumber.
5. Pour in concrete to fi ll in the hole and the frame giving a
total of 4" (10,2 cm) thick concrete. Be sure surface is level.
