Opening the Lid:

To open the top lid, simply lift it upwards. The hydraulic piston mechanism will assist in lifting and holding the lid open, providing easy access to the shed's interior, especially useful for trash cans.

Opening the Front Doors:

To access items through the front, unlatch any locking mechanisms and pull the front doors open. Ensure the doors are fully open to avoid obstruction.

Closing and Locking:

To close the lid, gently pull it downwards until it rests securely. For the front doors, push them closed until they latch. For added security, use a padlock (not included) with the integrated locking capabilities on both the lid and front doors.
