Q:
Why should I purchase a metal storage building?
A: Metal
storage buildings are the most economical form of storage compared to wood,
plastic, and monthly rent.
Q:
What tools do I need to assemble the storage shed?
A: 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. Do not assemble the building on a
windy day.
Q:
What kind of foundation do I use?
A: The
key to a successful installation is to make sure the building is assembled on
a square and level surface. You have three choices
Q:
Do I need to anchor my building?
A: Yes!
Your storage building must be anchored to prevent possible wind damage. Arrow
offers a ground anchor kit,
(AK4), which has 4 heavy-duty ground augers, cable, and clamps. Also
available is an AK100
concrete anchor kit and the AK600
is perfect for smaller and sloped roof style Arrow buildings.
Q:
Are the instructions
easy to follow?
A: 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
1-800-851-1085 ext. 1 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.
Q:
Are all supplies and parts included in the carton?
A: Everything
is packed in the box except three (3) elements:
- The necessary tools to assemble the building
- A floor which provides the consumer with a choice for the type of
foundation
- And an anchor kit.
Q:
Can the building be
painted?
A: The
buildings can be painted with an exterior grade paint designed for use on
metal.
Q:
What is meant by
nominal size?
A: 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.
Q:
How long will it take
to assemble the building?
A: 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.
