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.
IMPORTANT – DO NOT RETURN
