FAQs
Is a lock included with the Outsunny Garden Shed?
No, a lock is not included with the shed. You will need to purchase a suitable padlock separately to secure the double sliding doors.
How many people are required for assembly?
For safety and ease of installation, it is strongly recommended that two people assemble the Outsunny Garden Shed.
Do I need to buy a separate base or foundation?
A foundation kit is included with the shed to help create a level and stable base. While this is sufficient for many installations, some users may opt to place the shed on a pre-existing concrete slab or a treated timber frame for additional stability.
What are the internal dimensions of the shed?
The internal dimensions of the shed are approximately 203L x 117W x 185H cm, providing ample space for storage.
Is the shed completely waterproof?
The shed is made from galvanised steel with a protective weather coating and features a sloping roof, making it highly weather-resistant and designed to protect contents from rain. However, no shed is hermetically sealed, and proper assembly and site preparation (like ensuring a level base) are crucial to minimize moisture ingress and condensation.
What material is the shed made from?
The shed is constructed from durable galvanised steel, which is then finished with a protective weather coating for enhanced resistance against rust and outdoor elements.
Troubleshooting
Water pooling or excessive dampness inside the shed.
First, verify that the shed is installed on a perfectly level surface. Check if all roof panels are correctly overlapped and securely fastened to prevent water ingress. Ensure all screws and seams are tightly sealed. Also, confirm that the four ventilation slots are clear of any obstructions like leaves or debris to allow proper airflow and reduce condensation.
Doors are sticking or do not slide smoothly.
Ensure the shed is level and plumb; an uneven base can cause the door frame to warp. Clean the door tracks thoroughly to remove any dirt, dust, or small pebbles. If cleaning doesn't resolve it, apply a light coat of silicone-based lubricant to the door tracks.
Rust spots appearing on the shed panels.
While galvanised steel is rust-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture in damaged areas (e.g., deep scratches) can cause rust. Clean the affected area with a wire brush to remove loose rust. Apply a rust-inhibiting primer specifically for galvanised metal, then touch up with exterior-grade paint that matches the shed's color.
Difficulty assembling panels or aligning screw holes.
Ensure you have laid out all parts and identified them correctly according to the manual. Sometimes panels may require slight manipulation or pressure to align holes due to manufacturing tolerances. Having two people, as recommended, greatly assists with holding panels in place while fasteners are inserted. Double-check that all previous steps were completed correctly before moving on.

Care & Maintenance
Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior panels with a damp cloth periodically to remove dirt, grime, and environmental buildup. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the protective coating.
Ventilation Check: Periodically inspect the four ventilation slots to ensure they are clear of leaves, debris, or insect nests. Unobstructed vents are essential for proper air circulation and moisture control.
Door Maintenance: Keep the double sliding door tracks clean from dirt and debris to ensure smooth operation. A silicone-based lubricant can be applied if doors begin to stick.
Damage Inspection: Regularly check for any signs of physical damage, such as dents or deep scratches, that could compromise the galvanised steel's protective layer. Address any exposed metal promptly with a suitable rust-inhibiting primer and paint to prevent corrosion.
