Keter Store-It-Out Prime Outdoor Storage Shed User Manual

1. Introduction

The Keter Store-It-Out Prime is a versatile outdoor storage unit designed to provide ample space for various items such as yard tools, pool floats, garden accessories, and even two 32-gallon trash cans. Constructed from durable polypropylene resin plastic with steel reinforcement, this shed is built for longevity and weather resistance.

Key features include ventilation panels for airflow, a sturdy built-in floor panel to keep contents dry, and integrated support for an optional shelf (shelf not included). The unit offers convenient access through both its wide double front doors and a top lid, which is equipped with hydraulic pistons for easy opening and holding in place. A unique locking system allows for securing both doors and the top simultaneously, or just the doors for child-safe access from above. An included bin-opening kit simplifies trash disposal by lifting bin lids when the shed's top is opened.
