Setup and Assembly
Assembly requires at least two adults. Clear a flat, level area for assembly. Tools required: small wrench and hex key (included).
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out. Group similar parts together.
- Assemble Frame: Connect the alloy steel poles using the push-button mechanism. Ensure all connections are secure. Refer to the included diagram for frame structure.
- Attach Canopy: Drape the 160G PE-coated fabric canopy over the assembled frame. Ensure the canopy is oriented correctly, with the branding facing outwards.
- Secure Canopy: Use the provided bungees and stakes to secure the canopy to the frame and to the ground. Ensure the extra anchor flaps are utilized for added stability.
- Install Doors and Windows: The shed features dual roll-up doors with zippers and side windows with protective mesh netting. Ensure these are properly aligned and secured. Roll-up touch fasteners are used for secure positioning of the windows.

Operating Instructions
- Access: Use the zippered roll-up doors at the front and rear for convenient access. Roll the doors up and secure them with the integrated fasteners to keep them open.
- Ventilation: The side windows with mesh netting provide enhanced ventilation. Roll up the window covers and secure them with touch fasteners to improve airflow and reduce moisture buildup.
- Storage: The shed offers 80 square feet of floor area. Organize items efficiently to maximize space. Avoid placing heavy or sharp objects directly against the canopy walls.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the canopy fabric with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the frame for any signs of rust or damage. Check all connections and anchors for tightness, especially after strong winds or heavy rain.
- Fabric Care: The 160G PE-coated fabric is UV50+ rated. While weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions may affect its lifespan. Consider additional protection in harsh climates.
- Anchoring: Ensure the shed remains securely anchored at all times. Replace worn or damaged stakes and bungee cords as needed.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Shed instability / swaying | Improper anchoring; loose frame connections; strong winds. | Ensure all ground stakes and bungee cords are securely fastened. Check all frame connections for tightness. Consider additional anchoring in windy conditions. |
| Water leakage | Canopy not properly stretched; damage to fabric; excessive rain. | Verify the canopy is taut and evenly distributed over the frame. Inspect fabric for tears or holes and repair if necessary. Ensure proper drainage around the base. |
| Difficulty with zippers | Zipper track obstructed; fabric tension; zipper damage. | Clear any debris from the zipper track. Adjust fabric tension if too tight. If zipper is damaged, contact customer support. |
| Condensation inside shed | Insufficient ventilation; high humidity. | Ensure side windows are open for maximum airflow. Consider using moisture absorbers if humidity is consistently high. |
