Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, this unit must be installed on a flat, level surface such as a concrete pad or a solid paving area. Installing on uneven ground can lead to misalignment of the lid hinges and door gaps.
Assembly Tips
- Ensure you have two people to assist with the assembly of the larger shiplap panels.
- Do not fully tighten all screws until the entire unit is squared up.
- Position the unit in a location where the lids have full clearance to open fully.
Maintenance
- Treatment: While pressure-treated, applying a high-quality wood preservative or exterior paint every 1-2 years will extend the lifespan and maintain the aesthetic.
- Clearing: Periodically clear leaves and debris from the roof and around the base to ensure good airflow and drainage.
