Usage Features:

Teamwork Recommended: Two or more people are required for assembly.
Foundation Options:
- Wood Platform: Requires a level and flat platform, at least 16"/24" (40.6 cm/61.0 cm) spacing for joists. Pressure-treated lumber should NOT contact the shed to prevent accelerated corrosion and voiding the warranty.
- Concrete Slab: Recommended to be at least 4" (10.2 cm) thick.
Anchoring: An Arrow Anchoring Kit is recommended for securing the building to the chosen base after assembly to prevent wind damage. The entire floor frame MUST be securely anchored.
Door Adjustment: Doors can be adjusted by moving bolts and nuts in oblong holes on the door support assembly to ensure proper alignment and latch engagement.
Safety: The manual includes a "Caution: Sharp Edges" warning, advising the use of gloves during assembly. It also warns against assembling on windy days due to large panels acting as sails. Children and pets should be kept away from the worksite.
Roof Safety: Users are explicitly warned never to concentrate their weight on the roof.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning: Do NOT use power washing to clean the shed.
Chemical Storage: Combustibles and corrosives must be stored in airtight containers designed for chemical/combustible storage. Corrosive chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides) should be cleaned off interior and exterior surfaces immediately, as rust caused by chemical damage is not covered by the warranty.
Rust Protection:
- Avoid nicking or scraping the coating surface (inside and out).
- Keep the roof, base perimeter, and door free of debris.
- Touch up scrapes or nicks and any area of visible rust as soon as possible.
Edge Trim: The edge trim on gables should remain in place until roof panels are installed to prevent mishaps on sharp edges.
