- Cleaning: Clean the shed periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the shed for any signs of wear or damage, especially after severe weather conditions. Ensure all screws and fasteners remain tight.

7. Troubleshooting
- Doors not closing properly: Check if the shed is on a level surface. Uneven ground can cause door misalignment. Ensure no debris is obstructing the door path.
- Water leakage: Verify that all panels are correctly installed and sealed according to the assembly instructions. Check for any cracks or damage to the material. Ensure the foundation is properly prepared to prevent water pooling around the base.
