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. |
