BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Before you receive your Cedarshed product, we recommend that you spend some time planning and clearing your construction site.

Start by deciding where exactly you’re going to position the structure in your yard. Please review size specification for model to determine actual size. For example, our 8'x10' Rancher model is actually 93” wide x 120 5/8” long. Remember, it is your responsibility to check with your local municipal/county for permit requirements. 

After determining your location, clear your construction area. Remove all debris, roots, grass and any large rocks. It is important that your chosen site have good drainage and is on solid ground. If not, we recommend that you slope your location 10' in all directions. A slope of 1/8 inch per foot is enough to prevent water accumulation.

Also make sure that the when the product is assembled that no doors and windows will be obstructed. If you are planning on positioning the model against a fence or a wall, leave enough room for you to comfortably install the walls and roof. (approximately 2-3 feet).

HOW TO BUILD A FOUNDATION
Cedarshed recommends three different methods for constructing basic foundations for our cedar products:
• Patio Stones
• 4x4 Pressure Treated Beams
• Concrete Slab

With all our products, we recommend the following "Step-By-Step" procedures.

1 / Prepare Your Site for Construction Before you receive your garden shed or gazebo, clear the construction area. Remove all debris, roots, grass and rocks. Make sure the ground slopes away from the site at least 10 feet in all directions. If necessary, build up the soil in the center of the site and slope away for the high point to provide drainage. Fill in any low spots within the perimeter of the site. A slope of 1/8 inch per foot is enough to prevent water accumulation. We recommend excavating the site 4 inches deep and laying gravel or crushed rock where drainage may be a concern.

2 / Laying Out The Foundation No matter which type of foundation you’ve chosen, start by outlining the "footprint" on the site. Start by choosing one corner of the garden shed or the center of gazebo and mark it (A) by driving a stake into the ground. FOR GARDEN SHEDS Stretch a line from stake A straight across C and fasten it to a temporary stake outside the intended shed area. Measure along this line from A and mark the garden shed dimension in that direction. Drive a stake there and set up batter boards. Use the 3-4-5 triangulation method to extend another line at right angles to the A-C line. Measure to the next corner and stake it. Continue until all corners of the shed are connected by right angle lines. 3-4-5 Triangulation Method Measure along the line 3 feet from the first stake A, and mark the string at this point. From stake A, run a second line perpendicular to the first. Measure out 4 feet to locate point C. If this second line is exactly at a right angle to the first, the diagonal line between A & C will be 5 feet. If not, move point C left or right until the diagonal measures 5 feet and stake that point. No matter which type of foundation you’ve chosen, start by outlining the "footprint" on the site. Start by choosing one corner of the shed or the center of gazebo and mark it (A) by driving a stake into the ground. Run a line across two stakes. Measure from point A on the first stake along this line 3 ft. and mark point B. Run a second line perpendicular to the first across point A. Mark point C 4ft. from point A. Move line AC so that the distance BC is exactly 5 ft. Angle BAC is now 90 degrees. Set up batter boards and guide lines to outline the entire shed, making right angles at each corner using the 3-4-5 triangle method described in step 3.

3/ Determine The Type Of Foundation 1. PATIO STONE FOUNDATION If the ground is stable and has sufficient drainage, you can set patio stones directly on firm, compacted soil. If not, lay on gravel or crushed rock as previously described. GARDEN SHEDS: Starting with one floor section, position stones around its perimeter and specific joists. (For details, see specific instruction manual) Use a 2x4 straight piece of lumber on edge and a carpenter’s level to position correctly. Add or remove soil/sand under each stone until level. Complete remaining floor sections in the same manner. When all floor panels are level with each other, flip over, screw together and place back on level foundation. 2. 4x4 PRESSURE TREATED BEAM FOUNDATION You can build directly on pressure-treated beams or railroad ties laid on a properly prepared construction site. Run beams perpendicular to floor joists. Use a 2x4 straight piece of lumber on edge and a carpenter’s level to position correctly. To prevent the beams from shifting, secure them with a 1/2" inch rebar inserted through holes drilled in the beams and driven 3 to 4 feet into the ground. Leave each side or end of the foundation open to promote drainage and air circulation beneath the floor. 4x4 PRESSURE TREATED FOUNDATION This simple foundation consists of pressure treated beams laid directly on compacted gravel base. Use 1/2 " rebar to prevent beams from shifting. Joists are attached to beams with 16d galvanized nails. 3. CONCRETE SLAB FOUNDATION Typically a slab 3-4 inches thick laid over a subbase of 4 inches of gravel or crushed rock is sufficient but may vary depending on your geographic location. Using either mix your own concrete of having it delivered by truck, ready to pour, depends on how much time and effort you have to dedicate to the project. A slab for our 8x10 foot Rancher or a 10 foot gazebo both to a depth of 4 inches will require approximately 1 cubic yard of premixed concrete. Use the following procedure: 1. Excavate the slab area and footing trench. 2. Excavate the slab area to a depth 6 inches. This would put the finished slab surface 2 inches above ground (4 inches of gravel) 3. Set up your batter board strings to represent the outside face of the slab. At each corner, drop a plumb line from the intersecting strings to the bottom of the trench, then drive a 2x4 stake at this point. Using the plumb bob again, drive a nail into the top of the stake where the plumb bob touches it. Attach strings between the stakes. Using the strings as guides, drive the 2x4 form stakes around the trench perimeter, spaced on 2 foot centers. 4. Attach the form boards to the stakes with double-headed nails. Make sure the stakes are on the outside of the boards and flush with or below them. 5. Use 2x4 stakes to brace the corners of the forms. 6. Backfill the excavation with 4 inches of gravel, then lay down a plastic vapor barrier. 7. Spread or pour concrete with a rake or hoe, compacting it gently into the footing areas. Use a shovel to move concrete into footing trench. Make the pour to about 1 inch above the forms to allow for settling. Use a long 2x4 to level the concrete. Move the board in a side-to-side motion as you pull it towards you. 8. Use finishing tools, such as a bull float and trowel, to smooth the concrete surface. Allow the concrete to cure fully (seven to ten days). CONCRETE SLAB FOUNDATION 1. Backfill excavation with gravel; install vapor barrier. 2. Pour concrete into the forms, and spread it with a rake or shovel. Use a long 2x4 to screed the concrete level. 3.Use finishing tools, such as a bull float and trowel, to smooth the concrete surface to the desired finish.

DO I NEED A BUILDING PERMIT?
Check with your local permit office for the regulations in your area, however structures under 100 sq.ft. do not generally require building permits. If you find that you do need a permit, they are generally simple to obtain in most cases. Your local permit office will have an application form with instructions they can mail or fax you.

If you need some help with your permit application, please contact CedarShed directly at 1-800-830-8033. They can provide drawings, details and/or assist you with most technical questions.

SAFETY POINTS AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
As a proud owner of a Cedarshed gazebo, shed or outdoor furnishing, we want you to safely enjoy it for many, many years. Our products are built for use based on proper installation and normal residential use, on level ground. Please follow the instruction manual when building the gazebo, shed or outdoor furnishing, and retain the manual for future maintenance purposes.

Some of the safety and usage measures you may wish to consider include:

1. Snow load ratings vary by geographical location. If heavy or wet snowfall occurs, it is advisable to sweep the snow off the roof(s).

2. If the product is elevated, any structural and building code requirements are solely the customer's responsibility, and should be abided by.

3. In high or gusty wind conditions it is advisable not to use the structure, and it may be advisable to keep the structure securely grounded.

4. Have a regular maintenance plan to ensure screws, doors, windows and parts are tight.

5. In specific geographical regions, our products are not rated for human occupancy. Please check with local authorities if this is the intended use.

6. It is important to properly prepare the foundation to ensure the proper construction of Cedarshed products Please review the foundation preparation tab or, alternatively, consult with a local professional with knowledge on this matter.

Local conditions, personal construction abilities, and other factors may affect the construction of any products, so it is possible that your experience may differ from those presented on this web site.

ADD A PROTECTIVE FINISH WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF ASSEMBLY
Although Western Red Cedar will weather over time to a silver-gray color that might be appealing from an architectural perspective, we believe that applying some type of protective finish within 2 weeks of assembly (weather permitting) provides the best results for aesthetics and durability/longevity.

There are a number of exterior finishes available in most geographic areas that’ll extend the life of the exterior siding on our products. 


LIFE EXPECTANCY OF FINISH
The following choices are available, shown here with their projected life expectancies:

• Water-repellent preservative and oil (with addition of fungicide) 1-2 years

• Semi-transparent stain (latex oil-based) 3 years

• Solid color stain -100% acrylic latex (apply stain blocking primer first) 4-5 years

• Paint -100% acrylic formulation (apply an oil-based primer first) up to 10 years

Results will vary and are for average locations in the United States.

DISCOLORATION & STAINS
Even after applying an exterior finish to your Cedarshed product, discoloration will occur over time. Dirt is the most common cause of discoloration and can easily be removed with a mild detergent and using a brush.

Water stains can also occur and can be difficult to remove. Try using an oxalic acid solution.

HOW MUCH EXTERIOR FINISH WILL BE REQUIRED?
On average, plan on using approximately 1- 2 gallons of exterior finish to completely coat the outside of your Cedarshed Product. This does not include the shingle roof or the inside which is optional and, in our opinion, not required.

As part of product care, please make sure to keep the roof clear of any debris or snow to avoid damage over time.
During extreme weather conditions like heavy snow fall, customers are expected to keep the roof clear of any excess snow by cleaning frequently.
Damage to the structure over time due to lack of maintenance will not be covered under warranty.
