5L20  
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a Rubbermaid storage building.  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN – BUILDING CODES  
Be sure to check your local building codes, ordinances and restrictions, and applicable neighborhood governances.  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN – SURFACE PREPARATION  
To ensure proper assembly and performance your shed needs to be built on a solid, level surface.  
A concrete or patio surface, or a treated-wood platform is recommended.  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN – LOCATION  
When choosing a location in your yard make sure you choose an area with easy access and one that provides  
proper drainage for water to run away from the shed location.  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN – PREASSEMBLY  
Thoroughly review all assembly steps (it is important  
that the steps are followed in the correct order).  
Review the parts list and make sure that no parts  
are missing.
