7. Troubleshooting

• Door not closing properly: Check for obstructions in the door track or frame. Ensure the shed is level and square. Adjust hinges or latch if necessary.
• Water pooling on roof: The roof is designed to slope for drainage. Ensure no debris (leaves, branches) is accumulating on the roof. Verify that the roof panels are correctly installed and secured.
• Shed feels unstable: Confirm all fasteners are tightened. Ensure the shed is placed on a firm, level surface. Consider anchoring the shed to the ground or placing it against a wall for added stability.
