Troubleshooting

Shed is not level after installation.

Recheck the level of each corner and adjust the height of the bearing plates as needed. Ensure the timbers are straight and properly aligned.

The kit seems unstable.

Ensure all screws are tightened securely. Check that the piles are driven deep enough into the ground. Consider adding additional support if the ground is very soft.

Difficulty in adjusting the leveling.

Make sure the ground is clear of any obstructions under the bearing plates. Loosen the screws slightly before adjusting the height.
