Preparation

1. Unpacking: The shed arrives in 4 separate packages, which may be delivered at different times. Ensure all packages have arrived before starting.

• Floor Installation: Begin by securely assembling the double-reinforced plastic floor panels.
• Wall Panel Attachment: When attaching wall panels, press them firmly downward into the floor channel until they fully snap into place. This ensures a secure and weather-tight fit.
• Window Placement: The shed features adjustable window positions. Install the windows according to your preferred placement and the shed's orientation to maximize natural light.
• Roof Assembly: Assemble the roof structure as per the manual, ensuring all components are tightly secured for weather resistance.
• Door Installation: Install the lockable double doors, ensuring they open and close smoothly and the locking mechanism functions correctly.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Greesum storage shed.

• Inspection: Annually inspect all panels, doors, and roof components for any signs of wear, damage, or loose fasteners. Tighten any loose screws as needed.
• Drainage: Ensure that water drains away from the shed's base to prevent pooling, which could affect the foundation over time.
• Ventilation: Keep the ventilation openings clear of debris to maintain proper airflow and prevent condensation buildup inside the shed.
• Door Hinges: Lubricate door hinges annually with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

The shed is constructed from durable, recyclable, high-density polyethylene, designed to resist cracks, rust, and harsh weather conditions.
