4. Setup Instructions

Assembly is designed to be straightforward. It is recommended to have at least two people for efficient setup, especially in windy conditions.

1. Prepare the Area: Choose a flat, level surface for your shed. Clear any debris or sharp objects that could damage the fabric.
2. Assemble the Base Frame: Connect the alloy steel frame components according to the diagrams in the included manual. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Attach Vertical Poles: Insert the vertical poles into the base frame connectors.
4. Install Roof Structure: Assemble the roof frame by connecting the curved poles and horizontal bars. Lift and attach the roof structure to the vertical poles.
5. Drape the Canopy: Carefully drape the 160G PE-coated fabric canopy over the assembled frame. Ensure the canopy is centered and evenly distributed.
6. Secure the Canopy: Attach the canopy to the frame using the provided bungee cords and straps. Ensure a snug fit to prevent flapping in the wind.
7. Anchor the Shed: Use the ground stakes and anchor flaps to firmly secure the shed to the ground. For added stability in rough weather, consider using stronger steel pegs or additional anchoring methods (not included).

5. Operating Instructions

Your storage shed is designed for convenient access and optimal ventilation.

• Dual Roll-Up Doors: The shed features zippered roll-up doors at both the front and rear. Unzip the doors completely and roll them up, securing them with the attached fasteners to keep them open. This allows for easy access and improved airflow.
• Ventilation Windows: Side windows are equipped with protective mesh netting. These can be opened and secured with roll-up touch fasteners to resist weather, improve airflow, and reduce moisture buildup inside the shed.
• Storage: Utilize the 80 sq ft of space for storing various items. Accessory hooks are provided for hanging smaller items like helmets or tools.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your storage shed.

• Cleaning: Clean the fabric canopy with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
• Frame Inspection: Periodically check all frame connections and screws to ensure they remain tight and secure.
• Fabric Care: The 160G PE-coated fabric is UV50+ rated for sun protection. However, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions may cause wear over time. Inspect the fabric regularly for tears or weak spots.
• Snow Removal: In areas with heavy snowfall, regularly remove snow from the roof to prevent excessive weight buildup and potential collapse.

7. Troubleshooting

Common issues and their solutions:

• Shed instability in wind: Ensure all ground stakes are fully inserted and bungee cords are taut. Consider purchasing heavy-duty ground anchors or sandbags for additional stability in high-wind areas.
• Water pooling on roof: Verify that the frame is correctly assembled and the canopy is stretched tightly over the high-peak design to allow water runoff.
• Difficulty with zippers: Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if zippers are stiff.
• Fabric wear/tears: Small tears can often be repaired with a heavy-duty tarp repair kit. For significant damage, replacement parts may be available.
