Safety Information
Always prioritize safety during assembly and use of the shed. Failure to follow safety guidelines can result in injury or damage to the product.
- Ensure all components are handled carefully to prevent injury. Some parts may be heavy or have sharp edges.
- Follow all manufacturer instructions precisely during assembly. Do not deviate from the provided steps.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection during assembly.
- Assemble the shed on a level, stable surface.
- Secure the shed properly to the ground to prevent wind damage. This shed is built to withstand wind speeds up to 70 mph when properly anchored.
- Keep children and pets away from the assembly area.
- Do not store flammable liquids or hazardous materials inside the shed unless specifically designed for such storage and proper ventilation is ensured.
Setup and Assembly
The AECOJOY storage shed is designed for seamless installation. A detailed assembly guide is included with your product. For additional support, our expert technicians are available for remote assistance.
Foundation and Flooring
It is recommended to build the shed directly on the floor to avoid potential damage from moving the assembled structure. Consider the type of flooring that best suits your needs:
- Concrete: Provides a very stable and durable base.
- Plywood: A common choice for a raised floor, offering good insulation.
- Plastic Polymer/Small Pea Gravel: Can be used for drainage and a more natural look, but may require a frame for stability.

Fasteners
The shed comes with a complete set of matching screws for assembly. In case of any missing screws during the installation process, additional screws are provided to ensure completion without interruption. While the shed is designed for stability, especially in windy areas, using the supplied screws is recommended for optimal structural integrity. Pop-riveting instead of supplied screws is not recommended as it may compromise the intended design and stability.
Operating the Shed
Your AECOJOY shed provides a generous floor area of 95 square feet, making it ideal for various storage needs or even as an outdoor workspace. The shed features lockable sliding doors for enhanced security.

Storage and Organization
The shed's design allows for flexible internal organization. You can add wood slats or shelves to maximize storage capacity for tools, garden equipment, or other items. The sliding doors provide easy access while saving space.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and performance of your AECOJOY metal storage shed. The shed is constructed with galvanized steel, providing excellent resistance against rust, oxidation, and moisture.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the shed with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the galvanized coating.
- Drainage: The sloping roof design is engineered to prevent rainwater leakage. Ensure that the area around the shed's base remains clear of debris to allow for proper water runoff.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose fasteners as needed.
- Rust Prevention: While the shed features an automotive-grade anti-rust process, minor scratches or damage to the coating should be addressed promptly to prevent localized rust.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Shed appears smaller than expected (e.g., less than 10'x10'). | Advertised dimensions typically refer to exterior or roof dimensions. Actual interior or base dimensions may vary slightly. | Always verify the detailed product dimensions (e.g., 117.3"D x 120.2"W x 77.6"H) before preparing a foundation or base. Ensure your prepared base matches the product's exact footprint. |
| Missing or damaged screws/parts during assembly. | Packaging error or transit damage. | Contact AECOJOY customer support immediately. Additional screws are often provided, but for significant missing parts, direct assistance is recommended. |
| Shed feels unstable or wobbly. | Improper assembly, uneven foundation, or insufficient anchoring. | Review the assembly instructions to ensure all fasteners are tightened and components are correctly aligned. Verify that the foundation is level. Ensure the shed is securely anchored to the ground, especially in windy conditions. |
