Safety Information

To ensure safe assembly and use of your storage shed, please observe the following:

• Always assemble with at least two people.
• Be cautious of the shed's weight during assembly and when moving components.
• In high winds, secure the shed to the ground using appropriate anchoring methods or disassemble it to prevent damage or injury.
• Wear protective gloves during assembly to avoid cuts from sharp metal edges.
• Ensure the shed is installed on a perfectly level surface for stability and proper door alignment.

Before beginning assembly, verify that all parts listed in the packing list are present and undamaged. If any parts are missing or damaged, please contact customer support.

Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps carefully for proper assembly. An assembly video is provided by the seller for visual guidance.

1. Prepare the Base: Ensure your chosen installation area is level and firm. The shed includes a metal frame base. Consider adding concrete pavers or a wooden foundation for enhanced stability and moisture protection.
2. Assemble the Base Frame: Connect the base rails using the provided fasteners. Ensure the frame is square by measuring diagonals before tightening all bolts.
3. Attach Wall Panels: Begin attaching the wall panels to the base frame. Pay attention to the orientation of each panel as indicated in the detailed instructions. Secure panels using the specified screws and washers.
4. Install Internal Supports: Fasten the internal support beams and crossbars to reinforce the wall structure.
5. Mount Roof Panels: Carefully position and secure the roof panels. The sloped design facilitates water runoff. Ensure all roof fasteners are tightly secured to prevent leaks.
6. Install Door Frame and Doors: Assemble the door frame and attach it to the main structure. Mount the door panels onto the hinges and install the lockable latch mechanism.
7. Final Checks: Inspect all connections to ensure they are tight and secure. Verify that doors open and close smoothly and the latch operates correctly.

Operation

Your AECOJOY storage shed is designed for convenient and secure storage of outdoor equipment and tools.

• Opening/Closing Doors: Use the integrated latch to open and close the hinged door. Ensure the door is fully closed and latched to protect contents from weather and unauthorized access.
• Ventilation: The shed features vents to allow air circulation, helping to prevent moisture buildup and maintain the condition of stored items.
• Storage Capacity: The spacious interior (17.7 Sq.Ft) can accommodate items such as lawnmowers, bicycles, snowmobiles, or garden tools. Organize items efficiently to maximize space.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will prolong the life of your shed and ensure its continued functionality.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the shed with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the galvanized coating.
• Inspection: Annually inspect all bolts and fasteners for tightness. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain structural integrity.
• Rust Prevention: The galvanized coating provides rust resistance. If any scratches or damage occur, touch up with rust-inhibiting paint to prevent corrosion.
• Drainage: Ensure the area around the shed's base remains clear of debris to allow proper water drainage from the sloped roof.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your shed, consider the following common solutions:

• Door Misalignment: If doors do not close properly, check that the shed base is perfectly level. Adjust the base or hinges as needed.
• Water Leakage: Ensure all roof panels are correctly overlapped and all fasteners are tight. Apply silicone sealant around the base if water ingress is observed.
• Loose Panels: Re-tighten any loose screws or bolts. If plastic washers are damaged, replace them to maintain a secure fit.
