Assembly typically requires two people and takes approximately 45 minutes. A Phillips head screwdriver and possibly a rubber mallet may be useful.
- Prepare the Base: Place the base panel on a clean, flat, and stable surface.
- Attach Side and Back Panels: Connect the side panels and back panel to the base panel by aligning the grooves and pressing firmly until they click into place. Ensure the panels are oriented correctly according to the assembly diagram.
- Install Front Panel: Attach the front panel to the assembled side and base panels. This step may require gentle tapping with a rubber mallet to ensure a snug fit.
- Secure Panels with Screws: Once all four wall panels are connected to the base, secure them using the provided screws. There are approximately 50 screws to ensure structural stability. Tighten all screws firmly but do not overtighten.
- Attach Hinges: Mount the hinges to the back panel and the lid using the designated screws. Ensure they are aligned properly for smooth lid operation.
- Install Gas Struts: Attach the gas struts to their respective mounting points on the lid and the side panels. Ensure the struts are installed with the correct orientation as shown in the diagram. These struts assist in opening and holding the lid.
- Final Check: Verify that all connections are secure and the lid opens and closes smoothly.

Operating Instructions
- Opening the Lid: Gently lift the lid. The integrated gas springs will assist in raising the lid and holding it open, preventing it from slamming shut.

- Locking Mechanism: The box is designed to be lockable. A padlock (not included) can be inserted through the designated eyelet on the front of the lid to secure your belongings.
- Storage Capacity: The 380-liter capacity is ideal for storing garden cushions, tools, toys, and other outdoor accessories. Distribute weight evenly inside the box.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the box regularly with a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Weather Protection: While the box is weather and UV resistant, regular cleaning helps maintain its appearance and protective qualities. Ensure the lid is fully closed during rain or snow to keep contents dry.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Retighten if necessary. Inspect the gas struts for any signs of wear or damage.
- Winter Storage: If storing the box empty during winter, ensure it is clean and dry. While designed for outdoor use, extreme conditions may warrant additional protection.
