Owner's Manual
Before beginning construction, check local building codes regarding footings, location
and other requirements. Study and understand this owner's manual.
Important information and helpful tips will make your construction easier and more
enjoyable.

Assembly Instructions: Instructions are supplied in this manual and contain all
appropriate information for your building model. Review all instructions before you begin,
and during assembly, follow the step sequence carefully for successful results.

Flooring and Anchoring: Your storage building must be anchored to prevent wind
damage. A base is necessary to construct a square and level building. Anchoring and
base materials are not included with your building. We recommend the combined use of
an Arrow Floor Frame Kit and an Arrow Anchoring Kit as an effective method of
securing your building to the ground (Available by mail order or at your local dealer) or
you may construct a base and anchoring system of your choice. Your assembly
instructions provide information on a few methods commonly used to secure and level
a storage building.

Parts and Parts List: Check to be sure that you have all the necessary parts for your
building.

•All part numbers can be found on the parts. All of these numbers (before the -) must agree with the
numbers on the parts list. The parts list is located on page 12.

•If you find that a part is missing, include the model number of your building and contact:
Arrow Group Industries, Inc. Customer Service Department
1101 North 4th Street Breese, Illinois 62230
1-800-851-1085
•Separate contents of the carton by the part number while reviewing parts list. The first few steps
show how to join related parts to make larger sub assemblies which will be used later.

•Familiarize yourself with the hardware and fasteners for easier use during construction. These are
packaged within the carton. Note that extra fasteners have been supplied for your convenience.

 PLAN AHEAD....
A3

Watch the Weather: Be sure the day you select 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.

Teamwork: Whenever possible, two or more people should work together to assemble
your building. One person can position parts or panels while the other is able to handle the
fasteners and the tools.

Tools and Materials: These are some basic tools and materials you will need for the
construction of your building. Decide which method of anchoring and the type of base you
wish to use in order to form a complete list of the materials you will need.

as much as 40%. • Tape Measure • String (for squaring frame) • Lumber and/or Concrete

Selecting and Preparing Your Site: 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 base should be constructed and
an anchoring system should be ready to use.

 CARE & MAINTENANCE....
A5 Web

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 per manufacturer's recommendation.

Roof: Keep roof clear of leaves and snow with long handled, soft-bristled broom. Heavy
amounts of snow on roof can damage building making it unsafe to enter. In snow country,
Roof Strengthening Kits are available for most Arrow Buildings for added protection
against heavy snow accumulation.

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 and locked 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: A plastic sheet (vapor 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.

Keep this Owner's Manual and Assembly Instructions for future reference.

The Base For Your Building

OPTION 1: ARROW FLOOR FRAME KIT: (Order No. FB109-A or 68385-A)

Arrow has the best base for your building in this simple kit. It keeps stored items above the ground. This kit should be used with one
of the following:
A. To support a plywood deck B. To be filled with sand. We recommend the combined use of
1. an ARROW FLOOR FRAME KIT and 2. an ARROW ANCHORING KIT as an effective method of securing the building to the ground.
Allow 1 - 2 hours for construction.

OPTION 2: Wood Platform

If you decide to build your own base, be sure to select the appropriate materials.
These are the recommended materials for your base:
● 2 x 4's (38 mm x 89 mm) Pressure Treated Lumber ● 5/8" (15,5 mm) 4 x 8 (1220 mm x 2440 mm) Plywood-exterior grade
● 10 & 4 penny Galvanized Nails ● Concrete Blocks (optional)
40, 16"/2
6c
The platform should be level and flat (free of bumps, ridges etc.) m/6 4"
to provide good support for the building. The necessary materials 1,0
cm
may be obtained from your local lumber yard.

To construct the base follow instructions and diagram.

Construct frame (using 10 penny galvanized nails) 1
Measure 16"/24" (40,6 cm/61,0 cm) sections to construct 307 21" 5"
FRONT ,3 c 10 cm
inside frame (see diagram) (DOOR) m 6,7
Secure plywood to frame (using 4 penny galvanized nails) 26

Allow 6 - 7 hours for construction. Note: Platform/Slab will extend 9/16" (1,4 cm) beyond floor
frame on all four sides. Seal this 9/16" (1,4 cm) of wood with a
roofing cement (not included), or bevel this 9/16" (1,4 cm) of
concrete when pouring, for good water drainage.
OPTION 3: Concrete Slab

The slab should be at least 4" (10,2 cm) thick. It must be level and flat to provide good support for the frame.
The following are the recommended materials for your base.
● 1 x 4's (19 mm x 89 mm) (will be removed once the concrete cures)
● Concrete ● Sheet of 6 mil plastic
● We recommend for a proper strength concrete to use a mix of:
1 part cement ● 3 parts pea sized gravel ● 2 1/2 parts clean sand

Prepare the Site/Construct a Base

1. Dig a square, 6" (15,2 cm) deep into the ground (remove grass).
2. Fill up to 4" (10,2 cm) in the square with gravel and tamp firm.
3. Cover gravel with a sheet of 6 mil plastic.

4. Construct a wood frame using four planks of 1x4 (19 mm x 89 mm) 307 21" 5"
lumber. FRONT ,3 c 10 cm

5. Pour in concrete to fill in the hole and the frame giving a 26
total of 4" (10,2 cm) thick concrete. Be sure surface is level.
Note: Finished Slab dimensions, with lumber removed.
Allow 3 - 5 hours for construction and a week for concrete curing time. 9
