This section outlines the general steps for assembling your metal shed. Refer to the detailed diagrams and part numbers provided in the included assembly guide for specific instructions. Ensure all parts are present before beginning.
3.1 Auspacken und Teileidentifizierung
Carefully unpack all components. Lay them out in an organized manner and compare them against the parts list provided in your package. Report any missing or damaged parts immediately to the manufacturer.
3.2 Foundation Preparation
A solid, level foundation is critical for the stability and longevity of your shed. Options include a concrete slab, treated timber frame, or gravel base. Ensure the foundation extends beyond the shed's footprint by at least 6 inches on all sides.
