4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly of the Koll Living Garden Storage Shed is designed to be straightforward, but it is highly recommended that two people work together for optimal ease and safety. All holes are pre-drilled, simplifying the process. You will primarily need a screwdriver (an electric screwdriver is recommended due to the number of screws).

The Koll Living Garden Storage Shed is constructed from durable plastic, designed for minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Clean the shed periodically with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Weather Resistance: The shed is waterproof and designed to withstand various weather conditions. The Duottech material is resistant to UV rays, preventing fading and degradation over time.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Opening/Closing Doors or Lid: Ensure all hinges are properly aligned and free of obstructions. Check that the shed is on a level surface, as uneven ground can cause misalignment.
• Shed Feels Unstable: Verify that all screws are tightened securely according to the assembly instructions. Ensure the shed is placed on a firm, level foundation. Consider anchoring the shed to the ground for increased stability, especially in areas prone to strong winds.
• Water Accumulation Inside: While the shed is waterproof, ensure that the assembly was completed correctly, with all panels and the roof properly sealed. Check for any damage to the panels or roof. Ensure the ground beneath the shed allows for proper drainage.
