Attired in a makeshift robe and with his head heavy from the weight of a crown, the Cowardly Lion inquired wistfully:
“What makes a king out of a slave?
“What makes the flag on the mast to wave?”
“What makes the elephant charge his head towards the double doors of an old wood shed?”
Well…it was something like that.
The fact of the matter is that the Land of Oz is a font of information for the proper care and assembly of a storage shed. Not buying it? Then consider these Oz-isms:
Avoiding The Vortex
Want to avoid having your storage shed sucked up and into the vortex of a gargantuan twister and transported to a, shall we say, somewhat peculiar place?
Consider locking your Arrow metal shed into the ground with one of the following anchor kits:
The Arrow Sheds Auger Anchor Kit uses 4 30” heavy duty steel augers that screw into the ground, 60’ of aircraft strength cable that are fed over the roof beams and 4 cable clamps to secure an Arrow shed to the ground. A force of 1,500 pounds is required to remove the augers form the ground.
Arrow Sheds Concrete Anchor Kit has 4 steel corner gussets and perimeter clips that bolt a storage shed directly into a concrete slab. A ¼ inch masonry drill bit is included with this anchor kit.
The Duramax Sheds Earth Anchor Kit has 4 corkscrew style anchors that secure the corners of Duramax vinyl storage sheds to the ground. These corkscrew anchors work with or without the Duramax foundation kits.
Is a Drawbridge Just Too Much
Okay, if you need an army of winged monkeys and green skinned paramilitary troopers for protection, then a massive wooden drawbridge is probably not a bad idea. Otherwise, the portal to your backyard castle, or storage shed as the case may be, can be just as easily accessed by a sturdy wood ramp.
EZup produces both a 72” and 48” pre-cut wood ramp for customers that purchase an EZup storage shed. These ramps take the strain out of moving heavy equipment to and from an EZup storage shed.
The Little Cottage Company also produces both a 60” and 48” wood ramp that it sells as a separate product.
Is That A Wicked Witch On Our Roof
It’s not every day that you have to worry about whether the roof of your wooden shack can support the weight of a wicked witch who is having an argument with a young girl from Kansas, her dog and a scarecrow. That being said, snow load and heavy winds may give you pause about the durability of your storage shed roof in extreme conditions.
Arrow makes Shed Roof Strengthening Kits for a variety of Arrow storage sheds that include 6x5, 8x6, 10x6, 10x8, 10x9, 10x10, 10x12 and 10x14. Additional pre-fit struts will increase storage shed roof strength by up to 50%.
As for solutions related to the incessant prevarication of a Wizard, well, just pull back the curtain and say hello!
