Secure accessory DH to the door panel and orient hinges to ensure correct door opening, driving F3 screws. Align accessory DC with holes on top and bottom sides and drive F1 screws. Align accessory DG with holes on the outside of the right door panel and use F4 screws.

4. Operating Instructions

To open the shed doors, unlatch the top and bottom bolts on the left door, then unlatch the main lock on the right door. Pull the doors outwards. To close, reverse the process, ensuring all latches are securely fastened.

The shed is equipped with two air vents located on the front gable to ensure proper air circulation and reduce condensation inside. Ensure these vents are not obstructed.

5. Maintenance

• Regularly inspect all screws and bolts for tightness. Tighten as needed.
• Clean the shed exterior periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Clear snow and debris from the roof to prevent excessive weight accumulation.
• Check for any signs of rust or damage and address them promptly to prolong the shed's lifespan.
• Ensure the foundation remains level and stable.

6. Troubleshooting

• Doors not closing smoothly: Check for obstructions in the door tracks or ensure the shed is on a level surface. Adjust the shed's position if necessary.
• Water leakage: Ensure all screws are tightened and consider applying a silicone sealant around screw holes and panel seams for enhanced waterproofing.
