  • Assembly requires at least two adults. Some components are heavy and sharp.
  • Do not assemble in strong winds or adverse weather conditions.
  • Keep children and pets away from the assembly area.
• Anchoring: Securely anchor the shed to its foundation immediately after assembly to prevent wind damage.
• Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent condensation and mold growth. The shed includes air vents for this purpose.

6. Operation

Operating your ANTSKU storage shed involves proper use of its doors and ensuring adequate ventilation.
