  • Page 57 Congratulations on assembling your 8x12 Space Master! Note: Our Sheds are shipped as an unfinished product. If exposed to the elements, the lumber will weather to a silvery-gray color. If you prefer to keep the lumber looking closer to the original color, we suggest that you treat the wood with a good oil base wood stain.
