Setup and Assembly

Assembly requires attention to detail and patience. It is recommended that 2-3 people participate in the setup process. Basic tools such as a power drill, a wrench, and a step ladder will be necessary. The package includes work gloves for your safety.

Follow the step-by-step manual carefully. All parts are clearly numbered. Ensure proper alignment of all components during assembly to prevent issues. While the galvanized steel is robust, individual panels may feel flexible until fully assembled. Once constructed, the shed becomes sturdy.

The included 14mm PP floor panel should be installed to elevate items and protect them from ground moisture. If placing on a soft surface like grass, consider preparing a stable base such as gravel or pavers for optimal stability and longevity.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the exterior and interior surfaces periodically with a mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
• Weather Protection: The cabinet is designed to be weatherproof. However, in areas with heavy snowfall, it is advisable to clear excessive snow from the roof to prevent undue stress. In high wind areas, consider anchoring the shed to the ground for added stability.
• Moisture Management: While the floor panel provides moisture defense, regularly check for any signs of moisture inside, especially after heavy rain. Sealing any small gaps with silicone may be beneficial for enhanced waterproofing.
• Rust Prevention: The galvanized steel construction is resistant to rust. However, inspect for any scratches or damage to the coating and address them promptly to maintain protection.

Troubleshooting

• Parts Alignment Issues: If holes do not align perfectly during assembly, re-check the instruction manual to ensure panels are oriented correctly. Slight adjustments may be needed, and a power drill can assist in securing fasteners. Patience is key during this process.
• Missing Parts: In the event of missing components, such as brackets, contact Aoxun customer support immediately for assistance.
• Plastic Film Removal: Some metal pieces may have a protective plastic film that can be difficult to remove. Carefully peel it off before assembly.
• Water Pooling on Roof: The sloped roof is designed to prevent water accumulation. If pooling occurs, ensure the roof panels are correctly installed and free of obstructions.
• Security Concerns: The provided lockable latch is for basic security. For enhanced protection of valuable items, consider using a robust padlock and additional security measures as needed.
