- Construction Material: Primarily steel panels, indicated by the need for heavy-duty gloves during handling.
- Roof Type: Apex roof, designed for efficient water drainage.
- Door Type: Double doors, as depicted in the final assembly illustration and parts list (D1 and D2).
- Fasteners: Various screws (F1, F2, F3) and other fasteners (S2, S3) are used for assembly, with extra fasteners provided for convenience.
Usage Features:
- Storage Capacity: The 8'x 10' size offers ample space for various storage needs, from gardening tools to outdoor furniture.
- Security: The metal construction provides a robust structure for securing stored items. The doors (D1, D2) are designed to be integrated into the frame, suggesting a secure closure mechanism, though specific locking features are not detailed in the provided pages.
- Weather Resistance: The steel panels and apex roof design contribute to the shed's ability to withstand various weather conditions, protecting contents from rain, snow, and sun.
- Accessibility: Double doors (D1, D2) allow for easy access and the storage of larger items.
- Foundation: The manual emphasizes the importance of a square and level floor frame, suggesting that the shed can be installed on various foundations such as treated timber, concrete, bricks, blocks, or a prepared concrete pad. The base is not included and must be built onto a lawn directly or a prepared foundation.
Assembly and Maintenance Features:
- Assembly Requirements: The manual explicitly states that assembly requires two people and takes approximately one full day to complete. This highlights the need for teamwork and dedicated time for installation.
- Tools Required: The manual illustrates common tools such as gloves, drills, screwdrivers, wrenches, and a ladder, indicating that standard household tools are sufficient for assembly. Heavy-duty gloves are specifically recommended for handling steel sheets and flashing to prevent injury.
- Pre-Assembly Checks: Users are instructed to read the manual completely, check all parts against the parts list, and familiarize themselves with hardware and fasteners. This systematic approach helps ensure a smooth assembly process.
- Safety Precautions: The manual advises wearing proper safety goggles or other protective gear during assembly. It also warns against assembling the shed in windy weather due to the risk of damage to panels or personal injury, and to be careful of wet or muddy ground.
- Site Preparation: Before installation, users must contact their local government authority to determine if building approval is required. The site must be dry and calm, and the base should be level and square.
- Parts Identification: The manual includes detailed parts lists with illustrations, part numbers, and quantities (pages 4-5). This aids in identifying and organizing components before and during assembly.
- Step-by-Step Instructions: The assembly process is broken down into sequential steps, with diagrams illustrating how parts fit together and where fasteners are applied (pages 7-21). This visual guidance simplifies complex assembly tasks.
- Troubleshooting: For missing parts or questions on assembly, users are directed to contact TMG Industrial's customer service via phone or email, rather than returning the product to the dealer. This streamlines support and ensures specialized assistance.
- Foundation Importance: The manual stresses that the floor frame must be both square and level for the holes to align properly, which is crucial for the structural integrity and ease of assembly.
- Panel Handling: The instructions imply careful handling of steel panels, particularly during roof assembly, where multiple people are needed to position parts and handle fasteners.
The TMG-MS0810 Apex Metal Shed is presented as a practical and durable outdoor storage solution, with a strong emphasis on proper planning, safety, and methodical assembly to ensure a successful build.
