IN-DECK STORAGE INSTALLATION GUIDELINES for Arbor Collection‰ / Harvest Collection / Terra Collection‰
Page 1
Please read all instructions completely before starting any part of the installation. • AZEK Building Products recommends that all applications be reviewed by a licensed architect, engineer, or local building official before installation. Check local code requirements prior to installation. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please call AZEK Customer Service at 877-ASK-AZEK (877-275-2935) or visit our website at www.azek.com. • IMPORTANT: Make sure the DRIVE TOOL/DRILL is configured or set to use the SCREW setting when driving and/or tightening all FASTENERS. Since most screws are designed to seat within the cellular pvc substrate, BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERDRIVE, as this may loosen the screw’s holding power. • SAFETY: Always wear goggles when handling, cutting, drilling and fastening materials. • WARNING: In order to avoid tripping due to raised hinge knuckles and lock reveal, it is a safe practice to install the In-Deck Storage away from heavily used traffic patterns. When not using the In-Deck Storage, keep it locked in order to prevent children or others from falling, hiding or becoming enclosed within the unit. • WARNING: Lid will not support more than 500 LBS.
• Each AZEK In-Deck Storage Kit comes complete with all hardware, fasteners and installation guide to build one complete unit (i.e. AZEK Deck Boards must be purchased separately). Check the enclosed Hardware and Parts List to ensure that the kit is complete. • AZEK In-Deck Storage should be installed in accordance with the installation guidelines included below. AZEK Building Products Inc. accepts no liability or responsibility for the improper installation of this product. • AZEK In-Deck Storage is designed to be built to the size for which it is manufactured and should not be altered in any way. It is also designed to be used with AZEK Deck boards which measure 1” Thick x 5.5” Wide. The lid is designed to support 500 LBS. • AZEK In-Deck Storage may not be suitable for every application and it is the sole responsibility of the installer to be sure that AZEK In-Deck Storage is used for its intended purpose. Since all installations are unique, it is also the installer’s responsibility to determine specific requirements in regards to each In-Deck application.
