1. Setup
Assembly of the Keter Newton shed is required. For optimal performance and longevity, it is crucial to build the structure on a stable, level surface. The shed features a tongue-in-groove construction for secure panel fitting and steel reinforcement for enhanced stability. Refer to the detailed assembly instructions provided in the product packaging for step-by-step guidance.
- Site Preparation: Ensure the chosen location is flat, level, and free from debris. A concrete slab or a well-compacted gravel base is recommended.
- Foundation: The shed's integrated heavy-duty floor requires a solid foundation to support the weight of stored items and prevent warping.
- Panel Assembly: Follow the numerical sequence for assembling wall panels, ensuring each piece locks securely into place.
- Roof Installation: Install the steel-reinforced roof components as per instructions, ensuring proper alignment for weather sealing.

2. Operating
The Keter Newton shed is designed for versatile outdoor storage. Its generous interior capacity allows for organized storage of various items. The double doors provide wide access, facilitating the entry and exit of larger equipment. A heavy-duty floor is integrated to support significant weight, such as that of a riding lawn mower or heavy garden tools.
- Access: Open both doors fully to maximize the entry width for large items.
- Security: The shed features a lockable latch mechanism on its doors, allowing for the use of a padlock (not included) to secure your belongings.
- Interior Lighting: A full-length skylight and two integrated windows allow natural light to illuminate the interior, reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
- Ventilation: Vents are incorporated into the design to ensure air circulation, helping to prevent moisture buildup and maintain a suitable environment for stored items.

3. Maintenance
The Keter Newton shed is designed for minimal maintenance. Its polypropylene resin construction ensures it will not peel, rot, or rust, and it never requires painting. This makes it a durable and long-lasting outdoor storage solution.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior surfaces with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the resin material.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the shed for any signs of wear or damage, particularly after severe weather conditions. Ensure all panels and roof components remain securely fastened.
- Door Hinges: Lubricate door hinges annually with a silicone-based spray to ensure smooth operation.

4. Troubleshooting
While the Keter Newton shed is designed for durability, occasional issues may arise. Here are some common concerns and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Shed appears unstable or uneven. | Uneven foundation or improper assembly. | Ensure the structure is built on a stable, level surface. Recheck assembly steps to confirm all components are properly connected and secured. |
| Doors do not close or align properly. | Foundation issues, misaligned hinges, or obstruction. | Verify the shed is on a level surface. Check hinges for damage or misalignment and adjust if necessary. Remove any debris obstructing the door path. |
| Water leakage inside the shed. | Improper roof installation or damaged seals. | Inspect roof panels and skylight for proper sealing and secure fitting. Apply silicone sealant to any gaps if necessary. Ensure roof vents are clear. |
| Excessive condensation inside. | Lack of adequate ventilation. | Ensure roof vents are not blocked. Consider adding additional ventilation if the problem persists, especially in humid climates. |
Important Caution: Do not exceed the recommended weight limit for the shed's floor or shelves (if applicable). Overloading can compromise the structural integrity of the shed.
