Cleaning Instructions:
- Wipe down exterior and interior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap.

Troubleshooting
While the Lifetime Vertical Storage Shed is built for durability, minor issues may occasionally arise. Here are some common concerns and potential solutions:
Common Issues:
- Doors not closing properly:
- Ensure the shed is on a level surface. Uneven ground can cause misalignment.
- Check hinges for any obstructions or damage.
- Verify that all assembly screws are tightened correctly, especially around the door frame.
- Water accumulation inside:
- Confirm the shed is assembled correctly and all panels are securely fastened.
- Check for any cracks or gaps in the structure, particularly around the base and roof.
- Ensure the ground around the shed slopes away to prevent water pooling.
- Fading or discoloration:
- While UV protected, extreme prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can still cause minor changes over many years. Regular cleaning can help maintain appearance.
