Assembly Steps
Step 1: Base Frame Assembly
Assemble the bottom frame components according to the part numbers. Ensure all connections are secure but do not fully tighten screws until the frame is square and level.
Video: Detailed instructions for assembling the base frame of the storage shed, including connecting the bottom frame pieces and ensuring squareness.
After assembling the base, verify that the diagonal measurements are equal to ensure the frame is square. The floor frame must be both square and level for proper alignment of subsequent parts.

Step 2: Wall Panel Installation
Attach the wall panels to the base frame. It is recommended to place all wall panels first, installing the screws at the bottom, confirming their positions, and then proceeding to install the screws on top. Ensure the door frames (ULA, UR1) cover the raised part of the wall panel, do not insert them.

Step 3: Roof Assembly
Assemble the roof panels and attach them to the top of the wall structure. Ensure all panels are correctly oriented and securely fastened. Note that some screw holes are reserved for optional solar lights (not included, order separately).
Video: Shows the process of assembling and installing the roof panels, highlighting the correct placement and fastening techniques.
Step 4: Door Installation
Assemble the doors by attaching the hinges and latch mechanisms. Then, install the assembled doors onto the shed frame. Ensure smooth operation and secure closure.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the shed exterior with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Fasteners: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they remain tight. Tighten any loose fasteners to maintain structural integrity.
- Rust Prevention: Although made of galvanized steel, inspect for any signs of rust, especially in areas where the coating might be scratched. Touch up with rust-inhibiting paint if necessary.
- Door Operation: Keep door tracks and hinges clean and lubricated for smooth opening and closing.
Troubleshooting
- Difficulty Aligning Panels: Ensure the base frame is perfectly square and level. Slight adjustments to the base can resolve alignment issues.
- Leaking: Check all roof and wall panel overlaps for proper sealing. Ensure all screws are tightened. The sloping roof design is intended to prevent leaks, but extreme weather may require additional sealant application if issues persist.
- Doors Sticking/Not Closing Properly: Verify that the shed is on a level surface. Check door hinges and tracks for debris or damage. Lubricate moving parts if needed.
- Loose Components: Regularly inspect and tighten all fasteners. Over time, vibrations or weather changes can cause screws to loosen.
