4. Setup and Assembly
The Keter Manor 4x6 shed is designed for relatively easy assembly, typically requiring two people. A power drill and power screwdriver are recommended for efficient installation.
4.1 Site Preparation
- Choose a level and stable surface for the shed. A concrete slab or a well-compacted gravel base is ideal.
- Ensure adequate clearance around the shed for assembly and future access.
4.2 Assembly Steps (General Overview)
- Unpack and Organize: Lay out all components and verify against the parts list.
- Assemble the Floor: Secure the floor panel, ensuring proper alignment. Pre-drilling pilot holes for screws in the white frames is highly recommended for easier assembly and to prevent damage.
- Erect Wall Panels: Attach the wall panels to the floor, following the numerical sequence in the detailed manual. Ensure panels are securely interlocked. The window panel can be installed in any of the four designated positions.
- Install Door Frame and Doors: Assemble the door frame and attach the double doors. Ensure they swing freely and the latch mechanism operates correctly.
- Attach Roof Panels: This step often requires two people. Carefully align and secure the steel-reinforced roof panels. Starting with one side (front or back) and then working on adjacent sides can help with alignment. Wiggle panels and apply gentle pressure to ensure they seat properly.
- Install Ventilation and Accessories: Attach the built-in ventilation components and any other accessories like the padlock-compatible latch.

7. Maintenance
The Keter Manor 4x6 shed is designed for minimal maintenance due to its durable resin construction. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:

- Ventilation: Ensure the vents remain clear of debris to maintain proper air circulation.
- Snow Load: In areas with heavy snowfall, remove accumulated snow from the roof to prevent excessive weight.
- Ground Clearance: Ensure the area around the base of the shed is clear to prevent moisture buildup.
