Setup and Assembly
Assembly of this garden shed requires careful attention and may be challenging for inexperienced individuals. It is highly recommended to have at least two people for assembly. Ensure you have adequate tools, including a drill, pliers, and safety gear.
Preparation:
- Choose a Location: Select a flat, level, and stable surface for installation. The shed is wall-mounted, so ensure a suitable wall is available for secure attachment.
- Unpack Components: Carefully unpack all components and verify against the parts list provided in your packaging. Report any missing or damaged parts immediately to customer service.
- Safety First: Wear appropriate safety gloves and eye protection during assembly, as metal edges can be sharp.
Assembly Steps:
- Base Frame Assembly: Assemble the base frame according to the diagrams. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Wall Panel Installation: Attach the wall panels to the base frame. Pay close attention to panel orientation and alignment. Some holes may require pre-drilling or careful adjustment.
- Roof Structure: Assemble the roof frame and attach the roof panels. The sloped roof design aids in water drainage. Ensure all roof panels are securely fastened to prevent leaks.
- Door Installation: Install the double doors. Ensure they open and close smoothly. The plastic handle with a locking function should be installed last.
- Wall Mounting: Securely attach the shed to the chosen wall using appropriate fasteners (not always included, check your package). This is crucial for stability.
- Final Checks: Verify all screws and bolts are tightened. Check for any sharp edges and install plastic corner protectors if provided.

Operating Instructions
Accessing the Shed:
- To open the shed, unlock the plastic handle and pull the double doors outwards.
- To close, push the doors shut and engage the lock on the handle to secure your stored items.
Ventilation:
The shed may include small vents near the roofline to allow for air circulation. Ensure these are not obstructed to prevent condensation buildup.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your garden shed.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the shed periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the galvanized coating.
- Fastener Check: Annually inspect all screws, bolts, and connections for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain structural integrity.
- Drainage System: Ensure the sloped roof and any gutters (if installed separately) are clear of debris to allow for proper water drainage.
- Rust Prevention: Although made of galvanized steel, inspect for any signs of rust, especially in areas where the coating might be scratched. Touch up with rust-inhibiting paint if necessary.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Missing parts upon delivery | Packaging error or transit damage. | Immediately contact vidaXL customer support with your order details and a list of missing parts. |
| Shed feels unstable or flimsy | Improper assembly, insufficient anchoring, or uneven ground. | Ensure all fasteners are tightened. Verify the shed is securely anchored to a stable, level wall and ground. Consider adding additional reinforcement if needed. |
| Water leaks inside the shed | Improperly installed roof panels, unsealed seams, or obstructed drainage. | Check all roof panel overlaps and ensure they are correctly sealed. Clear any debris from the roof and drainage channels. Apply silicone sealant to any gaps if necessary. |
| Difficulty during assembly (e.g., misaligned holes) | Manufacturing tolerances or assembly sequence issues. | Exercise patience. Use clamps to hold panels in place. Carefully re-align parts. If holes are significantly misaligned, carefully drill new pilot holes, ensuring not to compromise structural integrity. |
| Doors do not close properly | Uneven base, misaligned door frame, or hinge issues. | Check if the shed base is level. Adjust door hinges or frame as needed to ensure proper alignment and smooth operation. |
