Review
While the original shed had only three ridge beams to support the roof, the new Model A01B37C03 sheds now include 5 beams, PLUS an additional header support tube for the rear header. Suncast claims that the roof can now support 15 pounds per square foot, i.e. pretty heavy snowfall.

I built the wood platform specified in the Suncast manual and used 30 Dek-Blocks (highly recommended) - with exterior grade pressure treated 2x6s and 3/4" plywood. I first unpacked and checked all of the pieces and was extremely annoyed to find that the 4 Male Corner Posts (Part H) and the one Right Hinge Post (Part L) were missing!! However, upon closer inspection, I was relieved to find that the Corner Posts had been snapped together for shipping to the four Female Corner Posts (Part G) and the Right Hinge Post to the Left Hinge Post (Part P). As others have indicated, the Cupola should be installed BEFORE the last two roof panels are installed.

We used an awl to guide the first shutter screw hole back directly over the corresponding screw hole in the side panel, and then tightened things down from there. Suncast sells metal pieces that snap into the side support rails, but they are costly and I'd need A LOT of them.
