Level Surface Notice:

Surface must be leveled before installation. We recommend building a level work space with a cement or patio style surface. If the surface is not properly leveled, the Outdoor Shed will not assemble correctly. Proper surface leveling will save you time in the long run, so please do not ignore this step.

Building Code Notice:

Consult all local building codes, as well as city and county ordinances, to ensure that the construction of the Outdoor Shed does not require a building permit. Proper building permit documentation may be required in your neighborhood, and it would be unfortunate to learn this after constructing the Shed.

Screwdriver Notice:

There is a 1/2” phillips head screwdriver bit included with the shed hardware. This bit can be used with any power screwdriver or drill. The plastic pieces of your shed can be damaged by overtightening of screws. To avoid damage we strongly recommend the use of a low-powered power screwdriver or a drill that has an adjustable clutch that is set on a low torque setting. If neither is available, use a hand screwdriver. In any case, use caution to avoid overtightening the screws.

Floor Puncture Notice:

Sharp objects may damage your ﬂ oor. If resting sharp, heavy objects on your shed ﬂ oor, place a block of wood between the sharp object and ﬂ oor.

Congratulations on your Lifetime® Outdoor Shed purchase. By following the instructions below, your new Lifetime shed

should provide you with years of service and enjoyment.

Cleaning and Care

The polyethylene walls and shelves are stain- and solvent resistant. To clean, use a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush. Abrasive

cleaning materials may scratch the plastic and are not recommended. Repair scratches or rust spots on the metal by sanding

the affected area lightly; using a rust preventative spray primer; and ﬁ nally, spraying with a high-gloss spray enamel paint. Avoid

placing a direct heat source on or near surfaces unless using a heat barrier.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID

To ensure safety, do not attempt to assemble this shed without following the instructions carefully. Check entire box and inside all packing material for parts and/or additional instruction material. Before beginning assembly, read the instructions and identify parts using the hardware identiﬁ er and parts list in this document. Proper and complete assembly, use and supervision are essential for proper orientation and to reduce the risk of accident or injury.

WARRANTY.

• Do not use or store hot objects such as grills, blowtorches, welding equipment, etc. in the shed.

• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.

IMPORTANT! Please Read

Dear Valued Customer,

Outdoor Storage Shed! We

We would like to congratulate you on your purchase of a Lifetime are conﬁ dent that you have made the perfect choice and you will be very pleased with your new

storage solution.

This Outdoor Storage Shed is part of the family of brands created and manufactured by

Lifetime

Products, Inc. Like all of our products, you can be assured that the quality of your

Lifetime Outdoor Storage Shed is the best in the world! All of our sheds are made in the USA, something that is very important to us. And, we back that quality up by oﬀ ering the best

warranty in the business – A 10-year warranty that covers everything on the shed… top to bo om!

All of our sheds are built with the highest-quality steel and polyethylene parts. The design and construction of our steel-reinforced double-wall panels is second to none. All of our exposed

steel parts and trusses are powder coated and we only use high-impact polyethylene plastic. What makes polyethylene so special? It has superior strength and durability, and, it won’t crack

or degrade outdoors.

Outdoor Storage Shed, please

So now that you know the quality you are ge ing in a Lifetime take the time to READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL!

We have taken great care in providing the best possible form of instructions to help you put your new Outdoor Storage Shed together. Before you get started, PLEASE read the following

preparation tips to help you get started!

We can assure you, your construction experience will be a lot more enjoyable if you do!

PREPARATION TIPS:

• The ﬁ rst step is simple… RELAX! You have made a great purchase, but Rome was not built in a day. Plan to spend a good part of your a ernoon pu ing together your ﬁ ne Outdoor Storage Shed. Our philosophy is, if it comes together quickly and easily, it surely will come apart quickly

and easily! Your Lifetime

Outdoor Storage Shed will surely last for years if you are patient, and

take all the time necessary to put it together as we have instructed.

• Grab a friend to join in on the fun! This is not a one-person endeavor. We have found that not only will things go smoother if you have two or more people participating in the construction of

the shed, but it will go quicker as well. So, the more the merrier!

• Make sure you have all the tools necessary for constructing your new shed. We have included a 1/2 “ Phillips head screwdriver bit that may be used with any power screwdriver or drill. This bit is your friend… please use it. The plastic pieces of your shed may become damaged

by overtightening the screws. To avoid this damage, we strongly recommend the use of a lowpowered power screwdriver or a drill that has an adjustable clutch that is set on a low-torque

se ing. If neither is available, use a hand screwdriver. If a hand screwdriver is all you have, take

several breaks… your wrist will need it!

• You will also need two small step ladders (when it comes time to do the roof!), a 7/16” wrench and a 3/8” wrench.

• The small wood block in your shed box is there for a reason. DO NOT THROW THE WOOD BLOCK AWAY, it is necessary for a aching the wall panels to the ﬂ oor.

• Read through the entire instruction manual and “Construction Tips” insert before you start. It’s always a great practice to get a feel for the ﬂ ow of the process and to familiarize yourself with

the parts involved. But, try not to get ahead of yourself and start the process out of order.

• FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN ORDER! Everything goes together in a certain order,

and we have learned what that correct order should be. In our state-of-the-art research and testing facility, we have painstakingly created these instructions. The order of construction is

there for a reason, and some parts simply will not ﬁ t if built out of order. Just follow along with the order in the instructions and everything will ﬁ t together and things will go very smooth.

• Refer to the color “Construction Tips” insert for the trickier construction spots. We have identiﬁ ed a few places during construction where it can get a bit tricky, that is why we included

the color insert. This full-color instruction extra was created to be er guide you through the process. Use it and you will be a much happier Outdoor Storage Shed builder.

• YOUR SHED MUST BE BUILT ON A LEVEL SURFACE! If the spot you have chosen to place

your wonderful new Outdoor Storage Shed is not level, the shed will not assemble correctly! We recommend a level cement or patio style surface. Your shed is meant to last a long time, so

provide the proper foundation for it before you start to build.

• Before you build it, make sure you are allowed to build it! Consult all building codes, as well as city and county ordinances, to ensure that you do not require a building permit to construct your Outdoor Storage Shed. Proper building permit documentation may be required in your

er your Outdoor Storage Shed is

neighborhood, and it would be quite unfortunate to learn this a already built!

Now that you’re ready to begin the construction of your wonderful new Outdoor Storage Shed, step back, take a deep breath, get yourself a large cold beverage and enjoy yourself. We guarantee that a er spending the right amount of time in building your shed, you will be able to

enjoy it for years to come.

Thanks for choosing Lifetime

Outdoor Storage, and have fun!

Site Selection

The actual dimensions of your shed (at its widest and longest points) are 8’ x 10’. Be sure

to select a site that will accommodate these measurements. The base of the shed is slightly smaller than this, so you will need to create a level surface that is at least 93.5” x

118.25”. We recommend using a level cement or patio style surface. This will provide the best long-term performance for your shed.

93.5”

NOTICE: Shed Extension Kits are available for this shed. Please consider possible shed expansion when planning the site for your shed. See inside the back cover of this manual for information on ordering Extension Kits.

Surface must be leveled before installation. If the surface is not properly leveled, the outdoor

shed will not assemble or function correctly. Proper surface leveling will save you time in the long run, so please do not ignore this step.

Alternate Site Preparation

Wherever possible you should use the surfaces described above. When this is not possible, we recommend you use one of the following options:

Note: Any platform or similar structure should be built above ground in order to avoid water pooling inside shed.

Place the 2” x 4” x 90 1/2” boards

on the inside of the frame. Nail each

board in place with the 16d nails.

Square up the frame by measuring from corner to corner. Measurement A should equal Measurement B.

Place platform in the desired location. If platform does not rest level on the ground, build up low points with loose dirt until platform is stable.

Line up a large sheet of outdoor rated plywood (48” x 93.5”) with

the end of the frame (same end

you measured from). Nail plywood

in place.

Place next large sheet.

Place platform in the desired location. If platform does not rest level on the ground, build up low points with loose dirt or “Pea” gravel, until platform is stable.

Once all boards are level and do not wobble, pack “Pea” gravel or dirt around the outside of the frame, and slope away from frame.

Use aprox. 9.8
