5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your storage shed.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Doors do not close or align properly. | Uneven base; misaligned panels; bent door frame. | Ensure the shed is on a perfectly flat and level surface. Recheck panel alignment during assembly. Gently adjust or straighten any bent door components. Lubricate hinges. |
| Water leakage inside the shed. | Improperly sealed seams; roof debris; gap between doors. | Verify all screws and panels are tightly secured. Clear any debris from the roof. Consider adding weather stripping to the door gaps if necessary. |
| Difficulty with screw hole alignment during assembly. | Slight manufacturing variance; shed not perfectly square during initial assembly. | Ensure the base is level and square. Apply gentle pressure to align panels. If a hole is completely off, carefully re-drill a pilot hole. |
