FAQs

Does the unit include a base?

Yes, the Ryedale comes with an integrated floor.

Is the unit waterproof?

The unit is highly weather-resistant and designed to keep contents dry, though it is not classified as hermetically sealed.

How long is the warranty?

The metal panels come with a 10-year manufacturer's warranty.

Can I assemble this by myself?

Due to the size and weight of the steel panels, it is strongly recommended that two people perform the assembly.

What is the capacity in litres?

This unit provides over 6,000 litres of storage space.

What surface should I place it on?

It must be placed on a firm, flat, and level surface such as concrete, flags, or a solid deck.

Troubleshooting

Doors are difficult to open or close

Ensure the storage unit is perfectly level. If the base is uneven, the frame will twist, causing the doors to misalign.

Condensation appearing inside the unit

Check that the ventilation slots are not blocked by stored items or exterior debris; ensure the unit is not sitting in a waterlogged area.

Lock is sticking

Apply a graphite-based lubricant to the lock mechanism; avoid using oil-based sprays which can attract dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Requirements:

The unit must be placed on a firm, level surface, such as a concrete pad or paved area. Assembly requires two people due to the weight and size of the steel panels. Ensure you have the necessary hand tools as specified in the manual before beginning the assembly process.

Compatibility:

The unit is compatible with various padlocks for secondary security, though the integrated system is robust enough for most standard needs.

Care Instructions:

  • Routine Inspection: Check all bolt connections every six months to ensure they remain tight.
  • Cleaning: Wash the exterior annually with mild soapy water and a soft brush to remove dirt and salt buildup.
  • Maintenance: Treat any minor scratches immediately with touch-up paint to prevent rust from forming on the galvanised coating. Keep the area around the base clear of debris to ensure the ventilation slots remain unobstructed.
