BEFORE YOU BEGIN....

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 use of an Arrow
Anchoring Kit as an e ective method of securing your building to the ground (Available
by mail order or at your local dealer) 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.

•If you  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  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.

BW04

PLAN AHEAD....

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%.

• Work Gloves

• Step Ladder

• Utility Knife / Scissors

• Pliers

• Carpenter's Level

• Tape Measure

• Locking Pliers

Required

Optional Time-Savers

• Wrench / Nut Driver

• Electric / Cordless Drill

• Square

• String (for squaring frame)

Base Preparation

• Hammer and Nails

• Spade or Shovel

• Hand Saw / Power Saw

• 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.

•Allow enough working space for ease of moving parts into position during assembly. Be sure there
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  rst steps in assembling your parts, a base should be constructed and
an anchoring system should be ready to use.

A05

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

SAFETY FIRST....

•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 di cult and unsafe.

BW05

CARE & MAINTENANCE....

Finish: For long lasting  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.

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 in 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  oor area with good

ventilation will reduce condensation.

Other Tips....

• Wash o 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.

NOTE
The day before construction of the building, complete the
sub-assemblies so they will be ready. EXAMPLE: Truss,
 oor frames, roof beams, gables, side and overhead doors.
Set the assemblies aside, so they will not get damaged.
The remainder of the building assembly requires more than
1 work session and more than 1 person. Do not continue
beyond this point if you do not have enough time to complete
the wall assembly and can tie down the assembly overnight.
Complete the roof and doors on the following day.

Prepare the Vertical Tracks.

The top of the vertical track must pitch back from the jamb for door to seal properly. This spacing is set
by use of graduated track brackets. Attach but do not fully tighten brackets to track with 1/4” x 5/8” track
bolts and nuts. The detail is shown with two different track brackets.

Always place heads of bolts to inside of the track.
This will prevent rollers from striking bolts.

The fl ag angle mounts to the top of the track with

(2) 1/4” x 5/8” track bolts and nuts. This bracket

joins the vertical and horizontal tracks as well as the
angle attached to the horizontal track. Leave bolts
loose at this time. You will adjust the track after it is

Spring Assembly Preparation

Check all spring assembly instructions and parts.
Warning! If there appears to be any parts missing stop here and contact your Arrow Customer Service im­mediately. Do not substitute parts.

Warning! Do not remove any factory applied spring tag or warning label! If any tags or labels are missing or
unreadable, contact your Arrow Customer Service immediately.

Warning! Never place your fi ngers in or near section joints while the door is moving.

Take time to study the parts and identify them.
Extension Springs: Extension springs mount alongside the horizontal track. They stretch as the door is closed and

contract as the door opens. This type of spring is always used in pairs, one on each side of the door. Both springs are

the same, it will not matter which one you assemble fi rst.

Safety Cable: Extension springs can cause severe damage, personal injury or even death if they are not properly
restrained. In the event of a spring failure the safety cable will prevent the spring from being propelled away from the
door.

Both springs are the same, it will not matter which one you assemble fi rst.

The spring cable is thicker than the safety cable. Be sure to use the correct cable for the appropriate step.

Thread safety cable through spring assembly. Clip the cable on the S Hook.

Lowering the door and spring adjustment.
Warning! Until all adjustments are completed, always assume you will have to physically support the full weight

of the door. Make sure adequate help is available.

Warning! Never place your fi ngers in or near section joints while the door is moving.

Warning! All spring component parts whether part of the spring assembly, attached to the door, or attached to
the wall are now under tension and are extremely dangerous.

Warning! Spring adjustments from this point onward must be performed in accordance with all warnings and

directions as previously stated.

Warning! Spring adjustments can only be performed when door is in fully open position and door restraints are

applied to tracks.

With one person holding door in the fully open position, carefully remove locking pliers.

Slowly lower door, testing the balance of the springs. If door does not lift off of the fl oor by itself, or does not roll back to
the fl oor when not supported, it is properly counterbalanced.
If door lifts off of fl oor by itself, the springs are too strong and the initial stretch must be reduced.
If door rolls back to fl oor, the springs are too weak and the initial stretch must be increased.

Finalize the track adjustments

Operate door through one full cycle. Check door stops and top fi xture for proper seal. If door is not functioning correctly,

check for binding against jamb, header or tracks.

SOME FACTS ABOUT RUST
Rusting is a natural oxidizing process that occurs
when bare metal is exposed to moisture. Problem
areas include screw holes, unfinished edges, or
where scrapes and nicks occur in the protective
coating through normal assembly, handling and use.
Identifying these natural rusting problem areas and
taking some simple rust protection precautions can
help to stop rust from developing, or stop it quickly
as soon as it appears.

1. Avoid nicking or scraping the coating surface,
inside and out.

2. Use all the washers supplied. In addition to
protecting against weather in ltration, the washers
protect the metal from being scraped by the screws.

3. Keep roof, base perimeter and door tracks free of
debris and leaves which may accumulate and retain
moisture. These can do double damage since they
give o acid as they decay.

4. 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  lm of high quality touch-up paint.
