BEFORE YOU START
• To ensure that the installation and erection of your Stratco Handi-Mate™ Shed proceeds smoothly you should confirm that all
  the components and materials listed on the delivery documentation and in this installation guide have been supplied. Details
  for ordering individual components can be found in the “Component Index” section at the end of this document.
• Carefully read this installation guide to familiarise yourself with all the steps involved and ensure that you have the correct tools
  and equipment for the job.
• There are different types and colours of screws. Ensure that the right type and colour screw is being used at each location.
• Use heavy gloves when handling steel sheeting and flashings and never attempt to install a shed in windy conditions.
• It is important that you contact your local government authority to determine if building approval is required.
• Stability and performance of the shed relies on the door being closed during high wind events.
• It is essential to clear and level the site prior to assembling your Stratco Handi-Mate™ Shed.
• Do not traverse the roof of the Handi-Mate™.
• The installer is responsible for ensuring the slab or concrete pads are sufficient to support the shed and sustain wind loading.
  Do not directly anchor your shed to pavers. All Stratco Handi-Mate™ Sheds must be securely bolted to a permanent concrete
  base with sufficient masonry anchors as specified in Figure 6.0 to prevent wind uplift.
       Option 1 - Before building the shed, pour a base that is larger than the area by at least 200mm in each direction. The
       base should be poured so the concrete outside the shed floor area slopes away from the shed to help prevent water from
       entering the shed.
       Option 2 - Substantial concrete pads may be used at each anchor location as an alternative to a complete concrete floor.
       It is recommended pads are minimum Ø250mm x 400mm deep, embedded into a firm natural soil base.
• Where necessary, components are marked with a coloured sticker as to easily differentiate one from another. Components are
  referenced throughout the installation guide by their colour. For example, Panel (Short) is marked with a red sticker.

SHED WINDOWS (OPTIONAL)
Stratco Shed Windows are available as an optional add-on, available in both Louvre and Sliding variations. Handi-Mate Windows
should be purchased along side the Handi-Mate Shed and installed during the Handi-Mate Shed assembly. Refer to the “Window
Installation” section if installing a Stratco Window, or visit your local Stratco store for more information.
