Check the floor frame size. Check the unit for squareness. Make sure the shed is on a level base. Be sure the corner panels are installed with the widest side of the panel to the side of the building. Line up large holes in the panel with small holes in floor frame.

Foundation channel pieces need to be made the correct size. Check to see if the floor frame of shed has the correct dimensions. The cross channel inside the base kit needs to be spaced apart at the proper dimension. Make sure the base kit was made for your specific shed.

The building is square at the bottom but not at the top. If the building is out of square, rack and push the shed until it falls back in square. Also, loosen the roof panels to give it more play and flexibility. Do not attach the bottom of roof panels to side wall angles until all the roof panels are up. It is also important to check that the shed is on a level base. Be sure that all panels are installed in the proper location. Do not anchor the shed until it is completely assembled.

The door track needs to be installed with long leg on top and short on bottom.
Door slides should be straddling the upper and lower legs of door track assembly by putting door slide only halfway in track. The rounded end of door slide is at the bottom and square end at the top with the pins or knobs next to each other.

Check the dimensions of assemblies. They should be slightly smaller than the floor frames.
Lay the assemblies on top of rear floor frame and pull it up to the top of the wall panels, causing the corner panels to stand erect and not lean inward.

Four assemblies are to be made up of 1 right and 1 left roof beam. Two assemblies are to be put back-to-back to make up the main roof beam. A single assembly is to be installed on each side of the roof.
