FAQ's for Arrow Storage Sheds
Answers To Most Common Consumer Questions
|
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.
|
|
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. Do not assemble the building on a windy day.
|
|
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 Floor Frame Foundation Kit which assembles in minutes and provides a floor frame suitable for a plywood floor finish (finishing materials not included).
|
|
Do I need to anchor my building?
|
|
|
|
Yes! Your storage building must be anchored to prevent possible wind damage. Arrow offers a ground anchor kit, (AK4), which has 4 heavy-duty ground augers, cable, and clamps. Also available is an AK100 concrete anchor kit and the AK600 is perfect for smaller and sloped roof style Arrow buildings.
|
|
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 1-800-851-1085 ext. 1 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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Can the building be painted?
|
|
|
|
The buildings can be painted with an exterior grade paint designed for use on metal.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
What are the prices of your products?
|
|
|
|
Retailers set their own retail prices. Prices may vary by store and by region.
