Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of your Outsunny shed:

• Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the shed periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Rust Inspection: Although the shed has a rust-resistant finish, inspect for any signs of rust, especially in areas where the coating might be scratched or damaged. Address any rust spots promptly with appropriate rust treatment.
• Fastener Check: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary, but do not over-tighten.
• Drainage: Ensure the area around the shed is clear of debris to allow for proper water drainage from the sloped roof.

Troubleshooting

• Panel Alignment Issues: If panels do not align perfectly during assembly, ensure the base is perfectly level. Slight adjustments to panel positioning before fully tightening screws can often resolve minor misalignments. Do not force panels into place.
• Water Leakage: If water ingress occurs, check all seams and connections. Apply a suitable outdoor sealant to any gaps or areas where water might penetrate. Ensure the roof panels are correctly overlapped and secured.
• Door Sticking: If doors stick or are difficult to slide, check the track for debris and clean it. Ensure the door frame is square and level. Lubricate the tracks with a silicone-based spray if needed.
• Missing Parts: If any parts are missing or damaged upon delivery, contact the seller or manufacturer's customer service immediately for assistance.
