Rubbermaid P0-5L20-P0 User Manual

5L20

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a Rubbermaid storage building.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN – BUILDING CODES

Be sure to check your local building codes, ordinances and restrictions, and applicable neighborhood governances.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN – SURFACE PREPARATION

To ensure proper assembly and performance your shed needs to be built on a solid, level surface.
A concrete or patio surface, or a treated-wood platform is recommended.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN – LOCATION

When choosing a location in your yard make sure you choose an area with easy access and one that provides
proper drainage for water to run away from the shed location.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN – PREASSEMBLY

Thoroughly review all assembly steps (it is important
that the steps are followed in the correct order).
Review the parts list and make sure that no parts
are missing.
