4. Assembly Instructions

Assembly of this wall-mounted garden shed requires careful attention to detail. Ensure you have a clear, level surface for assembly and the necessary tools (e.g., screwdriver, wrench, drill for wall mounting).

1. Prepare the Location: Choose a sturdy wall and a level ground surface for installation. Ensure adequate drainage around the shed.
2. Assemble the Base Frame: Follow the diagrams in your detailed assembly guide to construct the shed's base frame.
3. Attach Wall Panels: Connect the galvanized steel wall panels to the base frame and to each other, ensuring all screws and fasteners are tightened securely.
4. Install Roof Structure: Assemble the roof frame and attach the sloping roof panels. The sloping design facilitates automatic rainwater drainage.
5. Mount to Wall: Position the assembled shed against the chosen wall. Use the provided expansion screws to securely fix the shed to the wall. This step is crucial for stability.
6. Install Doors and Lock: Attach the double opening doors to the front frame. Install the plastic handle with the lock function as per the instructions.
7. Final Checks: Verify that all connections are tight, doors operate smoothly, and the shed is securely anchored.

6. Maintenance

Your galvanized steel garden shed requires minimal maintenance to ensure its longevity and performance.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior surfaces with a mild detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
• Check Fasteners: Annually inspect all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
• Drainage: Ensure the area around the shed's base and under the roof's edge remains clear of debris to allow for proper rainwater drainage.
• Rust Prevention: While galvanized steel is rust-resistant, inspect for any scratches or damage to the coating. Touch up with appropriate rust-inhibiting paint if needed.
• Door Operation: Keep door hinges and the lock mechanism clean and lubricated if needed to ensure smooth operation.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your garden shed, consider the following common solutions:

• Difficulty during Assembly: Double-check all steps in the assembly instructions. Ensure parts are oriented correctly and not forced. Sometimes, loosening adjacent screws can help align panels before re-tightening.
• Doors Not Closing Properly: Verify that the shed is level and square. Check hinges for damage or misalignment. Ensure no debris is obstructing the door path.
• Water Leakage: Inspect all seams and roof connections for proper sealing. Ensure the roof's slope is clear for water runoff. Confirm the shed is securely mounted to the wall and the ground is level.
• Missing Parts: Refer to the package contents section and your packing list. If parts are genuinely missing, contact vidaXL customer support with your model number and a description of the missing items.
