4.1 Pohjakokoonpano

4.2 Seinäpaneelin asennus

Slide the back panels into the designated grooves on the base and side panels. For easier installation, it is recommended to slide the back panels from the top down, gently pinching the edges to guide them into place. Ensure the folded part of the back panel is on the inside.

4.3 Roof Installation

Attach the top roof panels. Ensure the hinge part of the roof is positioned at the back of the unit. The roof panels should slot into the very edges of the side panels. Secure the roof to the side panels using the M4x25mm screws. There are typically two screws on each side and one in the middle of the front and back edges.

4.4 Oven asennus

Attach the door handles and latches to the front doors (A and B). The door with the bottom latch (B) will go on the right side when facing the shed. The door without the bottom latch (A) will go on the left. The doors are designed to slide and sit into place. Ensure the bottom latch piece is fully inserted into the door before securing it. Use the M4x19mm screws for the door handles.

6. Huolto

• Clean the shed periodically with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the resin material.
• Inspect hinges and latches regularly for any signs of wear or damage.
• Ensure the water drainage channels on the roof are clear of debris to prevent water accumulation.

7. Vianmääritys

7.1 Vesivuoto

If water leakage occurs, check the roof seam between the two halves. Some users have reported minor leaks in this area. Applying a sealant or caulk to this seam prior to installation can prevent this issue. Also, ensure the shed is on a level surface to allow proper water runoff.

7.2 Door Alignment/Difficulty Closing

Ensure the shed is assembled on a perfectly level ground. Uneven surfaces can cause doors to misalign or be difficult to close. Check that all screws are tightened appropriately (not overtightened) and that hinges are correctly installed. If metal brackets on doors are misaligned, pre-drilling pilot holes may be necessary before screwing them in.

7.3 Sliding Top Mechanism Squeaking

If the sliding top mechanism squeaks, apply a small amount of lubricant (e.g., WD-40) to the sliding tracks to ensure smooth operation.
