4. Setup and Assembly
Assembly requires careful attention to detail. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly. Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the physical installation manual included with your shed. The general steps are outlined below:
- Prepare the Foundation: Select a level, stable surface for the shed. A concrete slab or a treated wood foundation is recommended to ensure stability and proper drainage.
- Assemble the Floor: Connect the floor panels according to the manual's diagrams. Ensure they are securely interlocked and level.
- Install Wall Panels: Attach the side and back wall panels to the floor base. Pay close attention to the orientation of each panel, including the window panel.
- Attach Doors: Install the double doors to the front frame. Ensure they swing freely and align correctly for the lockable mechanism.
- Assemble the Roof: Construct the roof sections and attach them to the top of the wall panels. Ensure the sloped design is correctly oriented for water runoff. Install the vents.
- Final Fastening and Sealing: Secure all panels, doors, and roof sections with the provided hardware. Check for any gaps and apply sealant if necessary to enhance weather resistance.
Important Note:
The assembly process involves numerous steps. Carefully review each step in the included physical manual before proceeding. Incorrect assembly can affect the shed's stability and weather resistance.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan and appearance of your storage shed.
- Cleaning: Clean the shed periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the resin material. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Inspection: Annually inspect all panels, doors, and roof sections for any signs of damage, cracks, or loose fasteners. Tighten any loose screws.
- Drainage: Ensure the area around the shed remains clear of debris to allow for proper water drainage from the sloped roof.
- UV Protection: The resin material is UV-protected, but prolonged exposure to intense sunlight over many years may cause some fading. Regular cleaning can help maintain its appearance.
7. Troubleshooting
