Safety Information
WARNING: Always follow the assembly instructions provided. This shed is not designed for human occupation. Keep children and pets away from the shed during assembly and use. Do not install in strong wind conditions.
General Safety Precautions:
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses during assembly to prevent injuries from sharp edges.
- Ensure the assembly area is clear of obstructions and hazards.
- Do not attempt to assemble the shed alone. Two or more people are recommended for safe and efficient assembly.
- Verify all parts are present and undamaged before starting assembly.
- Do not overtighten screws during initial assembly; tighten fully only when instructed or when sections are properly aligned.
Setup and Assembly
The Outsunny Galvanized Steel Garden Shed requires assembly. A detailed illustrated manual is provided with the product. Please follow the steps precisely.
Preparation:
- Site Selection: Choose a flat, level, and stable surface for installation. An uneven base can lead to alignment issues and compromise the shed's stability.
- Unpacking: Carefully unpack all components. Each piece is numbered for easy identification. Verify all parts against the provided parts list.
- Tools Required: Gather necessary tools as specified in the assembly manual (e.g., screwdrivers, wrenches, gloves).
Foundation Kit Assembly:
The shed includes a galvanized steel foundation kit to enhance stability and keep the interior clean and dry. This kit forms the base structure.

After assembling the foundation kit, it is recommended to add a suitable wooden floor (not included) on top to further protect the interior from ground moisture and intruders.
Wall and Roof Assembly:
Follow the step-by-step instructions in the provided manual. Pay close attention to part numbers and orientation. Do not fully tighten screws until sections are aligned to allow for minor adjustments.

The shed is constructed from 0.25 mm thick galvanized steel, designed for wear resistance, weather resistance, and scratch resistance. The inclined roof ensures optimal rainwater drainage.
Operating Instructions
Access and Storage:
The shed features two sliding doors for easy access without requiring extra space for door swing. These doors can be locked (padlock not included) for enhanced security.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Outsunny Galvanized Steel Garden Shed, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the exterior surfaces with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the galvanized finish.
- Rust Prevention: Although made of galvanized steel, inspect for any scratches or damage that could expose the underlying metal. Touch up any deep scratches with rust-inhibiting paint to prevent corrosion.
- Drainage: Ensure the inclined roof remains clear of debris (leaves, branches) to allow for optimal rainwater runoff. Clear gutters if present.
- Ventilation: Keep the ventilation grilles clear of obstructions to maintain proper airflow and prevent moisture buildup inside the shed.
- Door Operation: Periodically lubricate the sliding door tracks to ensure smooth operation.
- Foundation: Regularly check the foundation for stability and ensure no water accumulates around the base.

Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your garden shed.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty aligning panels during assembly. | Uneven ground; screws overtightened prematurely; incorrect part orientation. | Ensure the base is perfectly level. Loosen all screws in the affected section, adjust alignment, then retighten. Double-check part numbers and diagrams. |
| Water leakage inside the shed. | Improperly sealed seams; roof debris; damaged panels. | Inspect all seams and joints; apply silicone sealant if necessary. Clear any debris from the roof. Check panels for damage and repair or replace as needed. |
| Sliding doors are stiff or jammed. | Debris in tracks; lack of lubrication; misaligned doors. | Clean door tracks thoroughly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the tracks. Check door alignment and adjust if necessary. |
| Shed feels unstable or wobbly. | Uneven foundation; loose fasteners; insufficient anchoring. | Verify the foundation is level. Tighten all screws and bolts. Ensure the shed is properly anchored to the ground, especially in windy areas. |
