Owner's Manual

Before beginning construction, check local building codes regarding footings, location and other requirements. Study and understand this owner's manual.

Important information and helpful tips will make your construction easier and more enjoyable.

Assembly Instructions: Instructions are supplied in this manual and contain all appropriate information for your building model. Review all instructions before you begin, and during assembly, follow the step sequence carefully for successful results.

Flooring and Anchoring: Your storage building must be anchored to prevent wind damage. A base is necessary to construct a square and level building. Anchoring and base materials are not included with your building. We recommend the combined use of an Arrow Floor Frame Kit and an Arrow Anchoring Kit as an effective method of securing your building to the ground (Available at your local dealer, Arrow's website arrowsheds.com or call Arrow's Customer Service department 1-800-851-1085) or you may construct a base and anchoring system of your choice. Your assembly instructions provide information on a few methods commonly used to secure and level a storage building.

Parts and Parts List: Check to be sure that you have all the necessary parts for your building.

•All part numbers can be found on the parts. All of these numbers (before the -) must agree with the numbers on the Parts List page.

•If you fi nd that a part is missing, include the model number of your building and contact:

Arrow Shed, LLC	Customer Service Department
1101 North 4th Street	Breese, Illinois 62230
1-800-851-1085	or [e-mail]

•Separate contents of the carton by the part number while reviewing parts list. The fi rst few steps show how to join related parts to make larger sub assemblies which will be used later.

•Familiarize yourself with the hardware and fasteners for easier use during construction. These are packaged within the carton. Note that extra fasteners have been supplied for your convenience.

PLAN AHEAD....

A04

Watch the Weather: Be sure the day you select 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.

Teamwork: Whenever possible, two or more people should work together to assemble your building. One person can position parts or panels while the other is able to handle the fasteners and the tools.

Tools and Materials: These are some basic tools and materials you will need for the construction of your building. Decide which method of anchoring and the type of base you wish to use in order to form a complete list of the materials you will need.

Required

•Eye Goggles

•No. 2 Phillips Screwdriver

(With Hardened Magnetic Tip)

Note: A power screwdriver or variable speed drill with Phillips-tip attachment can speed assembly by as much as 40%.

Required
• Work Gloves	Optional Time-Savers	Base Preparation
• Step Ladder
• Utility Knife / Scissors	• Wrench / Nut Driver	• Hammer and Nails
• Pliers	• Electric / Cordless Drill	• Spade or Shovel
• Carpenter's Level	• Square	• Hand Saw / Power Saw
• Tape Measure	• String (for squaring frame)	• Lumber and/or Concrete

Selecting and Preparing Your Site: Before assembly, you will want to decide on a location for your building. The best location is a level area with good drainage.

•Allowenoughworkingspaceforeaseofmovingpartsintopositionduringassembly. Besurethere will be enough space at entrance for doors to open fully and enough space around the building to be able to fasten the panel screws from the outside.

•Before you begin the fi rst steps in assembling your parts, a base should be constructed and an anchoring system should be ready to use.

SAFETY FIRST....

A05

Safety precautions are important to follow throughout the construction of your building.

•Care must be taken when handling various pieces of your building since some 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 worksite to avoid distractions and any accidents which may occur.

•Practice caution with the tools being used in the assembly of this building. Be familiar with the operation of all power tools.

•Do not attempt to assemble the building if parts are missing because any building left partially assembled may be seriously damaged by light winds. Call 1-800-851-1085 or assist@ arrowsheds.com

•Never concentrate your total 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.

•Do not attempt to assemble the building on a windy day, because the large panels acting as a "sail", can be whipped about by the wind making construction diffi cult and unsafe.

CARE & MAINTENANCE....

A06

Finish: For long lasting fi nish, periodically clean and wax the exterior surface. Touch-up scratches as soon as you notice them on your unit. Immediately clean the area with a wire brush; wash it and apply touch-up paint per manufacturer's recommendation.

Roof: Keep roof clear of leaves and snow with long handled, soft-bristled broom. Heavy amounts of snow on roof can damage building making it unsafe to enter. In snow country, Roof Strengthening Kits are available for most Arrow Buildings for added protection against heavy snow accumulation. Contact Arrow as outlined on the Ordering Accessories page to place an order.

Doors: Always keep the door tracks clear of dirt and other debris that prevent them from sliding easily. Lubricate door track annually with furniture polish or silicone spray. Keep doors closed and locked to prevent wind damage.

Fasteners: Use all washers supplied to protect against weather infi ltration and to protect the metal from being scratched by screws. Regularly check your building for loose screws, bolts, nuts, etc. and retighten them as necessary.

Moisture: A plastic sheet (vapor barrier) placed under the entire fl oor area with good ventilation will reduce condensation.

Other Tips....

•Wash off inked part numbers on coated panels with soap and water.

•Silicone caulking may be used for watertight seals throughout the building.

Do not store swimming pool chemicals in your building. Combustibles and corrosives must be stored in air tight approved containers.

Keep this Owner's Manual and Assembly Instructions for future reference.

The Base For Your Building

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.). If you choose this option Arrow has a simple kit available to provide a fl oorinside the shed to keep stored items off the ground. This kit can be used to support a plywood fl oor (wood not included) or be fi lled with sand/rock to provide a solid surface. (Order No. FB106-A or 68381-A)

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. 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 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.

 10 & 4 penny Galvanized Nails  Concrete Blocks (optional)

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)

Allow 6 - 7 hours for construction.	Note: Platform/Slab will extend 9/16"	(1,4 cm) beyond fl oor
	frame on all four sides. Seal this 9/16"	(1,4 cm) of wood with a

roofi ng cement (not included), or bevel this 9/16" (1,4 cm) of

concrete when pouring, for good water drainage.

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

 We recommend for a proper strength concrete to use a mix of:

1 part cement  3 parts pea sized gravel  2 1/2 parts clean sand

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.
