Setup and Assembly

The Keter Signature Collection shed requires assembly. It is recommended to have at least two people for the assembly process. Ensure you have all parts and tools listed in the packaging before starting.

1. Site Preparation:

• Choose a level site for your shed. A level foundation (gravel, wood, or dirt) is required for proper construction. Keter recommends a concrete foundation for best stability.
• Clear the area of any debris, rocks, or vegetation.
• Ensure adequate space around the shed for assembly and future access.

2. Unpacking and Part Identification:

• Carefully unpack all components and lay them out.
• Refer to the included parts list in your packaging to identify each piece.
• Report any missing or damaged parts to Keter customer support immediately.

3. Assembly Steps:

Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the separate assembly manual included with your product. General steps typically include:

1. Assembling the floor panels.
2. Attaching wall panels and corner supports.
3. Installing the roof structure, skylight, and ventilation components.
4. Mounting the double doors and installing the lock mechanism.
5. Securing the shed to the foundation (if applicable).

Maintenance

The Keter Signature Collection shed is designed for minimal maintenance due to its durable resin construction and DECoCOAT technology. However, regular checks will ensure its longevity and appearance.

1. Cleaning:

• Clean the exterior of the shed periodically with a mild soap solution and water.
• Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt, dust, or mildew.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.

2. Inspection:

• Periodically inspect the shed for any signs of wear or damage, especially after severe weather conditions.
• Check all fasteners and connections to ensure they remain tight.
• Ensure the doors operate smoothly and the lock mechanism is functioning correctly. Lubricate hinges if necessary.
