The Aoxun storage shed offers dual access options: front double doors and a top-opening lid. This design allows for convenient placement and retrieval of items.

• Front Doors: The shed features two hinged front doors that open wide, allowing easy access for wheeling in or out trash bins, lawnmowers, or other large items. The robust door bolt provides security for stored items.

5.2 Trash Can Integration

The shed cover includes pre-set iron chain holes. These allow you to connect the shed's lid to the lid of your trash can using an iron chain (not included). This mechanism enables the trash can lid to open simultaneously with the shed's top lid, providing a convenient way to dispose of waste without touching the trash can lid directly.
