How do you secure a shed to the plastic shed base?

To secure your shed, simply find the holes on the sheds inner lip and ensure the gap is lined up with a gap in the base you have installed. Once it has been lined up, simply put the pin through the hole and push down until the top of the pin is flush with the shed.

The second method in our blog is to use U-Pins or J-Pins. For this method you do not need to use the pins until after the entire installation is complete. To secure your shed, simply find the holes on the sheds inner lip and ensure the gap is lined up with a gap in the base you have installed. Once it has been lined up, simply put the pin through the hole and push down until the top of the pin is flush with the shed.
