BEFORE YOU START
• It is important that you contact your local government authority to determine if building approval is required.
• Refer to the 'Use of Gas Appliances' and 'Heat Shield Installation' sections for important safety information when using gas
appliances and managing heat build up. Ensure the Warning Sticker is installed in an adequate location as per Figure 10.8.
• Stratco offer an optional Gas Safety Shut-Off System which has been specifically designed for use with gas appliances within the shed.
This safety system provides additional safety when operating gas appliances in the shed. Refer to the 'Gas Safety Shut-Off System' section.
• An optional Strip Lighting Kit can be installed within the shed, providing an integrated and effective lighting solution. The Lighting
Kit must be installed during the installation steps as outlined within the guide.
•
There are two options for fixing the The Umbra
The concrete slab or post holes must be set prior to assembling the Shed. The options for fixing The Umbra
ground are:
Option 1: Fixing posts to a concrete slab with Masonry Anchors. Footings and Fasteners will be supplied with this option.
Option 2: Fixing posts into the ground with post holes and a concrete slab.
• The Umbra

wind classifications. Check with Stratco staff for the wind classification of the location The Umbra
• Care must be taken when determining the location of The Umbra
with sources of pollution or environmental factors that could affect the life of the steel.
• It is essential to clear and level the site prior to assembling your Awning Shed.
• There are different types and colours of screws used. Ensure the correct type and colour screw is being used at each location.
• Do not traverse or hang from any part of The Umbra
• The door must remain in the open position when operating a gas appliance within the shed. Never operate a gas appliance inside
the shed with the door closed.
• Use heavy gloves and safety glasses when handling steel and never attempt to install a shed in windy conditions.
• Parts of the installation require two people.
