Optional ventilation kits can be installed on any of the wall panels. However, we recomend mounting them on the top of the shed’s back wall.
1. Place the ventilation cover (VC) as shown in fig.1.Using a pencil, mark the two side hole locations.
3. Use a dia. 1/2” (12.5mm) drill bit to drill out as many holes as desired behind the ventilation cover mounting area as in fig.3.
2. On the marked hole locations, drill out two holes using dia. 5/32” (4.2mm) drill bit as shown in fig.2. These holes will be used to attach the ventilaion cover with the ventilation cover pins (VCP).
4. Attach the ventillation cover (VC) with the ventilation cover pin (VCP) as in fig.4.

1. Shed or shed foundation should be placed on concrete footing by use of anchor bolt and nut. Using a carpenters square, line up corners. Align U-Channel base, mark the concrete through the holes in the base and drill concrete with 1/2” (dia. 12.5mm) concrete bit to accept anchor bolts to a 1 3/4” (44mm) depth. Replace base and secure with 1/4” x 1 1/2” (M6 x 40mm) anchor bolts.See fig.
Note: To ensure that your shed withstands high winds,you will need the following reinforcement.

The Duramax shed has been tested and passed wind loads of up to 115 mph in a controlled laboratory environment. Natural high wind areas create wind at unpredictable speeds that are very difficult to capture accurately by location. As such we cannot guarantee the performance of the shed in these extreme situations.
