3. Setup and Assembly

The Greesum storage shed requires assembly. All components are labeled with part numbers, and detailed step-by-step instructions are included in the separate installation manual provided with your purchase. Please refer to that manual for specific assembly procedures.

Preparation:

• Foundation: Ensure a solid, flat, and level base for the shed. This is critical for structural integrity and proper door alignment.
• Tools: Gather all necessary tools as specified in the installation manual.
• Safety Gear: Always wear work gloves to protect hands from sharp edges of metal panels.
• Assistance: It is highly recommended to have at least two people for assembly due to the size and handling of panels.

Assembly Tips:

• Carefully unpackage all parts and verify against the parts list in the installation manual.
• Follow the numbered steps precisely.
• Do not overtighten screws until all panels are loosely fitted, then tighten securely.
• Some holes may require slight adjustment or gentle bending of panels to align properly.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your Greesum storage shed.

Cleaning:

• Clean the exterior of the shed periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Weatherproofing:

• While the shed is designed to be weather-resistant, applying a paintable silicone caulking to all seams (including the roof) can enhance its waterproof capabilities.
• Consider applying a rubber seal coating to the entire roof for additional protection against leaks and extreme weather.
• Regularly inspect the shed for any signs of wear, damage, or loose fasteners and address them promptly.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues that may arise during or after assembly.

Common Issues:

• Misaligned Holes: If screw holes do not align perfectly, gently adjust the panels or apply slight pressure to bring them into position. In rare cases, minor drilling may be necessary.
• Flimsy Structure During Assembly: The shed may feel less stable until all panels, especially the roof, are fully installed and tightened. Ensure all fasteners are secure once assembly is complete.
• Water Leaks: Check all seams and connections. Apply silicone caulking as described in the Maintenance section to seal any gaps. Ensure the roof is properly installed and sealed.
• Difficulty with Screws: Ensure you are using the correct screws for each step as indicated in the installation manual. Do not force screws; if a hole is stripped, a slightly larger screw may be needed.
• Dented Panels: Minor dents can occur during shipping or handling. Small dents typically do not affect the structural integrity or function of the shed.

If you encounter issues not covered here, please refer to the detailed installation manual or contact customer support.
