Assembly Instructions

The Aoxun Horizontal Storage Shed features a clip-together system for quick setup. Assembly typically takes about 30 minutes for one person. For best results, follow the steps below and refer to the visual aids.

Unpack all components and lay them out. Ensure you have a clear, level surface for assembly. Begin by connecting the base panels securely.

Step 2: Assemble Side Walls

Attach the side panels to the base, ensuring they click firmly into place. It is crucial to install the corner brackets and internal support bars as you build up the walls to ensure structural integrity. This step adds rigidity and strength to the shed.

Operating Instructions

Opening the Lid

To open the lid, unlatch the front clasp. The spring-assisted mechanism will then help lift the lid, keeping it open for easy access to the contents. This prevents the lid from accidentally closing while you are loading or unloading items.

Closing and Locking the Lid

To close the lid, gently pull it down until it rests securely on the side panels. Engage the front latch to secure the lid. For added security, a padlock (not included) can be attached to the latch.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the shed periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the HDPE resin. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the shed for any signs of wear or damage, especially after severe weather. Check all fasteners and hinges to ensure they are tight and functioning correctly.
• Winter Care: While the shed is weather-resistant, clearing heavy snow accumulation from the lid can help prolong its lifespan and prevent potential stress on the structure.

Troubleshooting

• Lid not closing properly: Check for any obstructions inside the shed or along the edges of the lid. Ensure the shed is on a level surface.
• Water leakage: Verify that all panels are securely connected and that the lid closes tightly. Inspect for any cracks or gaps that may have formed over time.
• Difficulty with spring-assisted lid: Ensure the spring mechanism is properly installed and free of debris. If the issue persists, consult the assembly instructions for re-installation.
