17 SECURE THE SHED The installer is responsible for ensuring the slab or concrete squares are sufficient to support the shed and sustain wind loading. Do not directly anchor your shed to pavers. Warning: The Manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage to person or property resulting from the inadequate anchoring of the shed whether installed by the Manufacturer,their Agents or by any other person. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Finish: For long lasting finish, periodically clean and wax the exterior surface. Touch-up scratches as soon as you notice them on your unit. Immediately clean the area with a wire brush. Wash it and apply touch-up paint. Roof: Keep roof clear of leaves and snow with long handled, soft-bristled broom. Heavy amounts to snow on roof can damage building, making it unsafe to enter. Doors: Always keep the door tracks clear of dirt and other debris that prevent them from sliding easily. Lubricate door track annually with furniture polish or silicone spray. Keep doors closed to prevent wind damage. Fasteners: Use all washers supplied to protect against weather infiltration and to protect the metal from being scratched by screws. Regularly check your building for loose screws, bolts, nuts, etc. and retighten them as necessary. Moisture: Aplastic sheet(vapour barrier) placed under the entire floor area with good ventilation will reduce condensation. Other tips... Wash off inked part numbers on coated panels with soap and water. Silicone caulking may be used for watertight seals throughout the building. Do not store swimming pool chemicals in your building. Combustibles and corrosives must be stored in air tight approved containers.
