Setup and Assembly

Your Greesum Outdoor Storage Box is delivered in two packages and includes six panels and one removable divider. Assembly is designed to be straightforward and can be completed without specialized tools by following the provided diagram and instructions.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully unbox all panels and the divider. Verify that all parts are present according to the packing list.
2. Identify Panels: Distinguish between the base, side panels, front/back panels, and the lid.
3. Assemble Base and Sides: Connect the side panels to the base, ensuring they snap securely into place.
4. Attach Front and Back Panels: Secure the front and back panels to complete the main structure of the box.
5. Install Lid: Attach the hinged lid to the top of the assembled box. Ensure the hinges operate smoothly.
6. Insert Divider (Optional): If desired, slide the removable partition into the designated slots inside the box to create customized storage compartments.

For optimal performance and stability, assemble the box on a flat, level surface. Due to its size and weight (approximately 48.5 lbs), consider assembling it as close as possible to its intended final location to minimize moving it once fully built.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Greesum Outdoor Storage Box, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the resin material. Rinse thoroughly with water.
• Weather Protection: The box is constructed from waterproof and UV-resistant resin, designed to withstand various weather conditions. However, for prolonged periods of extreme weather (e.g., heavy snow, prolonged direct sunlight), consider placing it under a covered area to further extend its lifespan.
• Lid Care: Periodically check the hinges for any debris or obstruction and clean as necessary to ensure smooth operation.
• Internal Cleaning: Empty the box periodically and clean the interior to prevent dirt and moisture buildup.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Greesum Outdoor Storage Box, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Lid Not Closing Properly:
  • Ensure the box is assembled on a completely flat and level surface. Uneven ground can cause misalignment.
  • Check for any obstructions or debris along the edges of the lid or inside the box that might prevent it from closing fully.
  • Verify that the hinges are correctly installed and not damaged.
• Water Inside the Box:
  • While the box is waterproof, ensure the lid is fully closed and latched.
  • Check for any cracks or damage to the panels. If damage is present, contact customer support.
  • Ensure the box is not placed in an area where water can pool around its base, which could lead to moisture wicking.
• Stability Issues:
  • Confirm all panels are securely snapped or fastened together as per assembly instructions.
  • Ensure the box is placed on a firm, level surface.
