Before assembly, you will want to decide on
a location for your building. The best location is a level area with good drainage.
•Allow enough working space for ease of moving parts into position during assembly. Be sure there
will be enough space at entrance for doors to open fully and enough space around the building to
be able to fasten the panel screws from the outside.
•Before you begin the first steps in assembling your parts, a foundation should be constructed and
an anchoring system should be ready to use.
