SITE PREPARATION AND PLATFORM CONSTRUCTION
Materials NOT supplied with 6301 Shed Kit
Note: Site preparation is recommended for this shed.
Placing the shed on a constructed foundation is required.
Without a constructed foundation, settling could
occur, causing distortion and damage to the shed.
Manufacturer is not responsible for replacing parts
damaged or property lost due to incorrect assembly.
Note: Complete the site preparation and foundation
construction before unpacking parts and beginning
assembly.
To prepare your shed site, follow the below steps:
1) Consult your local authorities for building codes and
covenants before beginning foundation or erecting
shed.
2) Before any digging, check with local utilities to
determine location of buried cables, pipes, etc.
3) Decide which type of foundation you want:
- Concrete slab, 4" thick
OR
- Wood platform
Use exterior grade wood. The wood platform should
be set on pier blocks or footing. Consult your local
retailer for help to determine the best anchoring
method for your particular installation. The provided
plans are sized for the minimum number of cuts to
lumber and plywood.
4) Prepare the building site:
- The ground should slope away from the foundation
area to provide drainage.
- The foundation surface must be flat and level.
- A vapor barrier should be provided to prevent
excessive condensation in the shed.
- Follow local building codes for a proper vapor
barrier.
5) Anchoring the shed to the foundation:
- Consult your local retailer for help to determine
the best anchoring method for your particular
installation.
- To secure the shed to a concrete slab, use masonry
fasteners available at your local hardware retailer.
- To secure the shed to a wood platform, use 1/4" x
3" long lag screws with washers.
