6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan and preserve the appearance of your bin storage shed.

• Cleaning: The stainless steel surface is easy to clean. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water, or a specialized stainless steel cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
• Fasteners: Periodically inspect all screws and bolts for tightness. While the shed is made of stainless steel, some fasteners may be of a different material and could be susceptible to rust. Replace any rusted fasteners with stainless steel alternatives if necessary.
• Lid Mechanisms: Check the lid support mechanisms (e.g., gas struts) for proper function. If a lid does not stay open, the support may need adjustment or replacement.

7. Troubleshooting

• Doors Jamming: If doors do not open or close smoothly, ensure the shed is placed on a completely level surface. Adjust the shed's position or add shims under the base if necessary.
• Lids Not Staying Open: Inspect the lid support mechanisms (e.g., gas struts) for damage or wear. These may need to be replaced if they no longer hold the lid open.
• Rust Spots: Although the main structure is stainless steel, some minor components or fasteners might show rust. Clean rust spots with a stainless steel cleaner and consider replacing affected fasteners with higher-grade stainless steel hardware.
