The Aoxun storage shed is designed for easy assembly. Follow the detailed instructions provided in the separate assembly guide included with your package. Ensure you have all necessary tools before starting.

1. Choose a level and stable location for your shed. A flat surface is crucial for proper door alignment and structural integrity.

2. Assemble the base frame first, ensuring all connections are secure.
3. Attach the wall panels, paying attention to the orientation of each panel.
4. Install the roof structure, ensuring the sloping roof is correctly positioned for drainage.
5. Attach the door, ensuring the reinforced hinges are properly aligned and secured.
6. Install the lockable latch mechanism.
7. Affix the plastic corner protectors for added safety and finish.
8. Securely anchor the shed to the ground using appropriate hardware (not always included, check your assembly guide).

6. Operation

6.1 Opening and Closing the Door

The shed features a single door equipped with reinforced hinges for smooth operation and a lockable latch for security.

• To open: Disengage the lockable latch and pull the door open.
• To close: Push the door firmly until it aligns with the frame, then engage the lockable latch.

6.2 Locking the Shed

The shed includes a lockable latch. For enhanced security, you can attach a padlock (not included) to the latch mechanism.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Aoxun storage shed.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the shed with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the powder-coated finish.
• Drainage: Ensure the sloping roof and roof recesses remain clear of leaves, debris, or snow to facilitate proper water drainage and prevent internal moisture buildup.
• Hinges and Latch: Lubricate the reinforced hinges and lockable latch annually with a silicone-based spray to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• Structural Inspection: Annually check all bolts, screws, and anchors for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners. Inspect panels for any signs of damage or corrosion.

8. Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:

• Door not closing properly: Check if the shed is on a level surface. Uneven ground can cause door misalignment. Adjust the shed's position or shim the base if necessary. Inspect hinges for damage or bending.
• Water pooling inside: Ensure the roof recesses are clear of debris. Verify that all roof panels are correctly installed and sealed according to the assembly instructions. Check for any gaps in the wall panels.
• Shed feels unstable: Confirm that the shed is properly anchored to the ground. Ensure all assembly bolts and screws are tightened.
• Latch sticking: Clean the latch mechanism and apply a lubricant. Check for any obstructions preventing smooth operation.

9. User Tips

• Maximize Space: Utilize vertical space by adding shelving units or hooks to the interior walls for smaller tools and accessories.
• Ventilation: While waterproof, ensure adequate airflow if storing items prone to mildew. Consider adding small vents if needed, especially in humid climates.
• Secure Foundation: For long-term stability and protection against pests, consider placing the shed on a raised, solid foundation like concrete or treated wood.
• Regular Checks: Periodically check the shed's contents and structure, especially after heavy rain or strong winds, to ensure everything is secure and dry.
