Operating Instructions
This firewood shed is designed for efficient and protective storage of wood. To maximize its benefits:
- Loading Firewood: Stack firewood neatly within the shed. The open front and back design, combined with the elevated base, ensures maximum ventilation, which is crucial for drying wood and preventing rot.
- Ventilation: The shed's design promotes continuous airflow, allowing moisture to escape and keeping your firewood dry. Avoid blocking the open sides to maintain optimal ventilation.
- Capacity: The shed provides approximately 1.62 m² of storage space. Stack wood efficiently to utilize the full capacity while ensuring stability.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your firewood shed and ensure its continued performance.
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanized finish.
- Drainage Check: Inspect the sloped roof and drainage holes (imbornal) regularly to ensure they are clear of leaves, twigs, or other obstructions. Clear any blockages to allow rainwater to drain effectively.
- Structural Integrity: Annually check all fasteners and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Corrosion Resistance: The galvanized steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance. However, if any scratches or damage occur to the coating, consider applying a rust-inhibiting paint to prevent localized corrosion.

Troubleshooting
- Water Pooling on Roof:
Possible Cause: Drainage holes are blocked or the shed is not level.
Solution: Clear any debris from the drainage holes. Ensure the shed is installed on a perfectly level surface. - Firewood Not Drying Properly:
Possible Cause: Insufficient airflow.
Solution: Ensure the front and back of the shed are not obstructed. Avoid overfilling the shed, which can restrict air circulation. - Shed Appears Unstable:
Possible Cause: Loose fasteners or uneven ground.
Solution: Check all screws and bolts and tighten them. Verify that the shed is placed on a firm, level surface.
