Troubleshooting
Shed door is difficult to close or sticks.
Check that the shed is level and the base is stable. Ensure no panels have shifted. Adjust hinges if necessary, or check for any debris obstructing the door frame.
Water ingress after heavy rain.
Inspect the roof felt for tears or lifting. Check the seals around the door and wall panels. Ensure the floor is adequately draining and not pooling water.
Wood appears to be deteriorating prematurely.
Although pressure-treated, ensure the shed is not in constant contact with standing water. Reapply a suitable wood preservative if the initial treatment appears to be wearing off, especially after several years of use.
Shed feels unstable.
Verify that the shed is installed on a perfectly level and solid base. Check that all panels are securely fastened to each other and that the frame is rigid.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Base Preparation: Ensure you have a firm, level base for the shed. This can be concrete, paving slabs, or a dedicated shed base kit. The shed must be installed on a level surface to ensure stability and prevent structural issues.
Assembly: Follow the provided instructions carefully. The modular design allows for flexibility, but precise alignment of panels is crucial for a weather-tight seal and structural integrity. It is recommended to have two people for assembly, especially when handling larger sections.
Door Placement: Decide on your preferred door location during the assembly process, as per the modular design.
Compatibility:
Foundation: Compatible with concrete, paving, or specialized shed base kits. Not designed for direct placement on soft ground.
Location: Suitable for most garden environments. Ensure adequate clearance around the shed for maintenance and potential future repairs.
Care:
Cleaning: Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Wood Treatment: While the timber is pressure-treated, periodic application of a suitable wood preservative or sealant is recommended every 2-3 years to maintain its appearance and further enhance weather protection, especially on cut ends or areas of wear.
Roof Maintenance: Periodically check the felt roof for any signs of damage or lifting and make repairs promptly to prevent water ingress.
Door & Lock: Lubricate the lock mechanism annually to ensure smooth operation.
