Assembly Instructions
IMPORTANT: Base must be installed on a flat and level surface. Select a location that provides suitable drainage, ample space to erect the shed,
and an area that can be leveled properly. Ideal foundations include: concrete slab, pea gravel, paver blocks or decking.
STANDARD INSTALLATION (See next page for alternate floor assembly without 2 x 4's.)
RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION: The floor of this shed may be reinforced by 2 x 4's. This reinforcement provides a more reliable level surface, especially in soft
ground
conditions. The reinforcement also provides greater floor strength for storing heavy items such as garden tractors.

store for these items.
