Setup and Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the Panovue storage shed typically requires 2-3 people and can be completed in 4-5 hours. It is recommended to assemble the shed on a windless day.
- Site Preparation: Choose a flat, level ground for installation. While the shed includes a frame floor, a solid foundation (e.g., concrete slab) is recommended for optimal stability and longevity.
- Unpacking and Inspection: Carefully unpack all four packages. Verify all parts against the included parts list. Contact customer support immediately if any parts are missing or damaged.
- Base Frame Assembly: Assemble the metal floor frame first. Ensure it is square and level before proceeding.
- Wall Panel Installation: Attach the wall panels to the base frame according to the diagrams in the separate assembly guide. Pay attention to the orientation of panels with windows.
- Door Frame and Door Installation: Assemble the door frame and attach the lockable doors. Ensure smooth operation and proper alignment.
- Roof Assembly: Install the roof support beams and then the roof panels. The sloping roof design aids in rainwater drainage.
- Final Fastening and Reinforcement: Double-check all screws, nuts, and bolts for tightness. For enhanced security and stability, use expansion screws to anchor the shed to the ground.

Operating Instructions
- Doors: The shed features lockable bi-fold doors for security. Use the steel door lock to secure your stored items and prevent unauthorized access or animal entry.
- Windows: The two clear windows provide natural light inside the shed. They are fixed and do not open.
- Ventilation: Four air vents are integrated into the design to promote air circulation, helping to keep the interior fresh and reduce moisture buildup.

Maintenance
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the shed for any loose fasteners. Re-tighten all screws, buckles, and straps every 90 days to maintain structural integrity.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior panels with mild soap and water as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the paint finish.
- Snow Removal: During heavy snowfall, promptly clear snow from the roof to prevent excessive weight accumulation and potential damage.
- Rust Prevention: The shed is constructed from electro-galvanized steel with a paint treatment for rust and UV resistance. However, promptly address any scratches or chips in the paint to prevent rust.
- Drainage: The sloping roof design facilitates rainwater drainage. Ensure gutters (if installed) are clear of debris.

Troubleshooting
- Missing Parts: If you find any missing parts upon delivery, please contact Panovue customer support immediately with your order details.
- Difficulty with Assembly: Ensure all steps in the assembly guide are followed precisely. Verify that the base frame is level and square. Do not force parts; if components do not fit, re-check the instructions and part numbers.
- Doors Not Closing Properly: Check for proper alignment of the door frame and hinges. Ensure the shed is level and square, as an uneven base can affect door operation.
- Water Leakage: Verify that all roof panels are correctly overlapped and all fasteners are tight. Ensure the shed is installed on a level surface to promote proper water runoff from the roof.
