1.
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.
2. 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.
3. 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 an Arrow
Foundation Kit which assembles in minutes and provides a floor frame
suitable for a plywood floor finish (finishing materials not included).
4. Do I need to anchor my
building?
Yes! Your storage building must be anchored to prevent possible wind
damage. Arrow offers a selection of anchor kits including the ground anchor kit (AK4), which has 4 heavy-duty
ground augers, cable, and clamps. Also available is an AK100 concrete
anchor kit.
5. 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 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.
6. Are all supplies and
parts included in the carton?
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.
7. Can the building be
painted?
The buildings can be painted with an exterior grade paint designed for
use on metal.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Can I get a copy of
the instructions beforehand?
We have most of the instruction manuals on-line in a PDF format for you to
print out at your leisure. Find the product code on each product page (in
the pricing and specification tables) and click on that product code on
the Instruction
Manual Page.

shed parts needs.

"Custom
Sizes"
Although
these are pre-determined kit sizes and there is little to no room for
customization, our thinking is that one has nothing to lose by asking. If we
know your
situation, we can advise on the feasibility.
It may not be that it costs a whole lot
more, but it needs to be determined IF it can be done structurally and
practically as a Do-It-Yourself application. Call (800) 922-4760 and talk with our experts.
We provide personal service and advice on your
selection.
Please call or
e-mail us
with your questions on deck size, clearances, installation advice and tips.
We are here to
serve.
