Introduction
This manual provides detailed instructions for the assembly, operation, and maintenance of your Aoxun 6x4 FT Pent Metal Garden Shed. Please read all instructions carefully before beginning assembly and retain this manual for future reference. This shed is designed for outdoor storage of garden tools, bicycles, and other equipment, offering protection from weather elements.
Safety Information
- Always wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection, during assembly.
- Assembly requires at least two people.
- Ensure the assembly area is clear of obstructions and hazards.
- Do not assemble in strong winds or adverse weather conditions.
- Keep children and pets away from the assembly area.
- Properly anchor the shed to the ground to prevent wind damage.
Setup
Site Preparation
Select a level, firm surface for the shed installation. The shed features a pent roof design, allowing it to be placed flush against a wall or fence. Ensure adequate drainage around the site to prevent water accumulation.
Assembly
The shed is delivered in a reinforced package. Carefully unpack all components and verify against the parts list provided in your separate assembly guide. Assembly typically requires two individuals. All panels feature pre-drilled holes for alignment. Remove any protective film from the panels before assembly.

Anchoring
The shed includes 4 heavy-duty ground pegs and 0.4mm galvanized base rails for structural grounding. These are crucial for stability and wind resistance. Securely fasten the shed to the prepared ground using the provided pegs to achieve certified Level 6 wind resistance (24-30 mph).

Operating Instructions
Door Operation
The shed features wide W120 x H155 cm double sliding doors. To open, slide the doors along their tracks. Ensure the tracks are clear of debris for smooth operation. The doors are designed to save outward clearance, making them suitable for narrow spaces.
Security Latch
A double door latch mechanism is provided for security. A padlock (not included) can be used with the latch to secure the shed's contents. Protective corner caps are installed to safeguard hands during daily use.

Ventilation
Two built-in PP louvered air vents promote continuous air circulation within the shed. This design helps to eliminate internal moisture and condensation, keeping stored items dry and rust-free.
Storage Capacity
The shed offers versatile storage options for various items, including lawnmowers, bicycles, garden tools, and even garbage bins. Its design maximizes internal space for efficient organization.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean the exterior of the shed with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Rinse thoroughly. The sloped pent roof design ensures rapid rain runoff, but occasional cleaning of the roof surface can prevent buildup.
Ventilation System
Ensure the louvered vents remain clear of obstructions (e.g., leaves, dust) to maintain optimal airflow and prevent condensation.
Structural Integrity
Periodically inspect the shed for any signs of damage, loose fasteners, or corrosion. The shed features an upgraded coating for enhanced durability against long-term exposure. Re-tighten any loose bolts and check the ground pegs for secure anchoring, especially after strong winds.

Troubleshooting
- Condensation Inside Shed: Ensure both louvered vents are clear and unobstructed. Verify the shed is properly sealed at the base to prevent ground moisture entry.
- Doors Sticking or Difficult to Slide: Check the door tracks for debris or obstructions. Clean the tracks and apply a silicone-based lubricant if necessary. Ensure the shed is level.
- Shed Instability: Confirm all ground pegs are securely installed and the shed is anchored to a firm, level surface. Check all bolts and fasteners for tightness.
- Minor Dents/Scratches: While packaging is designed to prevent damage, minor cosmetic imperfections can occur. These typically do not affect the structural integrity or weather resistance of the shed.
