Why should I purchase a metal
storage building?
Metal
storage buildings are the most economical form of storage compared to wood,
plastic, and monthly rent.
What tools do I need to assemble
the building?
A #2
Phillips screwdriver, a pair of pliers, work gloves, and a stepladder. However,
a magnetic tip cordless screwdriver will speed up assembly time by 40%. Two
people are also recommended and do not assemble
the building on a windy day.
What kind of foundation do I use?
The key
to a successful installation is to make sure the building is assembled on a
square and level surface.
You have three choices - pour a concrete slab, build a
wood deck/floor, or use our Foundation Kit, which is
self-squaring and helps
level the building.
Do I need to anchor my building?
Yes!
Your storage building must be anchored to prevent possible wind damage. We offer
a ground anchor kit (AK4), which has 4 heavy-duty ground augers, cable, and
clamps. Also available is an AK100 concrete anchor kit.
Are the instructions easy to
follow?
Each
part is identified with a factory number. The instructions contain a drawing and
an assembly illustration
of each step. Read the manual before beginning. Call
us at 1.800.922.4760 if a part is missing or damaged.
It is very helpful to
completely unpack the shipping carton and lay out all the parts for easy
identification.
Are all supplies and parts
included in the carton?
Everything is packed in the box except three (3) elements:
Can the building be painted?
The
buildings can be painted with an exterior grade paint designed for use on metal.
What is meant by nominal size?
Nominal
size is the roof edge dimensions rounded to the nearest foot. Always check the
interior dimensions
and recommended foundation size as these are smaller than
the nominal size.
How long will it take to assemble
the building?
There
are too many variables which make it difficult to calculate the amount of time
needed to assemble
the building. However, you should plan to devote a full day
with another person as a helper to assemble
the building after you have selected
and constructed the foundation.
