SAFETY PRECAUTIONS... 02H Safety precautions MUST be followed at all times throughout the construction of your building! Care must be taken when handling various pieces of your building since many contain sharp edges. Please wear work gloves, eye protection and long sleeves when assembling or performing any maintenance on your building. Practice caution with the tools being used in the assembly of this building. Be especially familiar with the operation of all power tools.
ASSEMBLY TIPS & TOOLS 03A Watch the Weather Closely: Be sure the day you choose to install your building is dry and calm. Do NOT attempt to assemble your building on a windy day. Be careful on wet or muddy ground. Use Teamwork: Two or more people are required to assemble your building. One person can hold the parts or panels in place while the other person fastens them together and handles the tools. This makes the process of assembling your building faster and safer.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN... 04H Your Commander™ / Mountaineer™ Shed has a Modular Design. This means your shed can be extended to virtually any length with the addition of Extension Modules. Extension Modules can be installed when you first construct your building, or they can be added to it later. How you assemble your building will depend upon how many Extension Modules you have purchased. See below to see how many Modules are included in your building. How your building was shipped.
CONSTRUCTING A BASE... 05H Before you assemble your building, you must construct a base. The length of your base, shown as “L” in the diagrams below, will depend on the length of your building. See below.

ANCHORING OPTIONS... 46H IMPORTANT: • • • • Doors must hang and swing level before anchoring building. Anchor your building at this time. See below for details on anchoring. After anchoring, drill a 5/8” (1,6 cm) hole at least 2” (5,1 cm) into your base to receive the left-side Cane Bolt and hold the Door (left side only) closed. Please take a moment to ensure that the building is installed in accordance with these instructions and with all applicable regulations.
CARE & MAINTENANCE... 44A Exterior Care: For a long lasting finish, clean and wax the exterior surface. We recommend washing with a mild soap solution. DO NOT use power washing to clean your shed. Using a spray automotive type wax periodically on the exterior is highly recommended if you are in a high humidity or coastal climate region. Combustibles and corrosives must be stored in air tight containers designed for chemical and/or combustible storage.
ARROW ACCESSORIES... ANCHOR KITS ATTIC KIT / WORKBENCH KIT Anchor Kit contains heavy-duty steel augers, 60' (18 m) of steel cable and 4 cable clamps.
