Check for obstructions or swelling. Ensure hinges are properly aligned and lubricated. Adjust the door catch if necessary.
Water ingress through the roof or walls.
Inspect the roof felt for tears or damage; repair or replace as needed. Check that the Tongue & Groove joints are sealed and that there are no gaps in the panels. Ensure barge boards and finials are securely fitted.
Condensation inside the shed.
Ensure the opening window is used regularly to provide ventilation. Avoid storing damp items inside the shed.
