FAQs

What tools are needed for assembly?

You will need basic tools such as a screwdriver, drill, measuring tape, and possibly a level.

Does the shed come with a floor?

No, the shed does not include the floor. A steel floor support kit is included to build a frame, and you'll need to purchase your own wooden floor panels.

What kind of base is required?

A level and firm base such as concrete or paving is recommended for optimal stability and performance.

Is the shed lockable?

Yes, the sliding double doors have handles pre-drilled to accept a customer-supplied padlock.

What is the warranty period?

The shed comes with a 15-year anti-rust guarantee.

How do I clean the shed?

Use mild soap and water, and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I paint the shed?

While the shed is pre-finished, you can paint it with appropriate metal-safe paint if desired.

How long does it take to assemble the shed?

Assembly time varies depending on experience and tools. Plan for several hours, and it's recommended to have two people.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty assembling the doors.

Ensure the frame is square and level. Check the door tracks for obstructions and lubricate if necessary.

Shed appears unstable.

Verify that the shed is anchored securely to a level base. Check and tighten all screws and bolts.

Water leaks inside the shed.

Check the roof panels and seams for any gaps or damage. Seal any openings with appropriate sealant.

Doors are difficult to open/close.

Check for any obstructions. Lubricate the sliding tracks and ensure the shed frame is square and level.

Rust or corrosion appears.

Contact the manufacturer for warranty support. Clean any surface rust with a wire brush and apply a rust-inhibiting paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Site Preparation: Ensure the installation site is level and firm, such as concrete or paved area. This is critical for the shed's stability and proper door alignment.
  2. Assembly: Follow the step-by-step instructions in the DIY assembly manual. Ensure all parts are correctly identified and assembled.
  3. Floor Installation (Optional): Install the steel floor support frame. Then, add plywood or other suitable flooring materials (not included).
  4. Securing the Shed: Use the included anchor bolt kit to secure the shed to the base, providing stability and preventing wind damage.
  5. Compatibility: The shed is compatible with various flooring materials (e.g., plywood, timber), but these must be purchased separately.
  6. Care: The shed is designed to be maintenance-free. Clean any dirt or debris with mild soap and water. Inspect the shed periodically for any signs of damage or corrosion, although the galvanized steel construction minimizes this.
