സജ്ജീകരണവും അസംബ്ലിയും
Careful assembly is crucial for the shed's stability and weather resistance. Follow the steps below.
1. സൈറ്റ് തയ്യാറാക്കൽ
The shed must be installed on a level and well-drained surface to ensure proper function and longevity. Suitable foundations include:
- കോൺക്രീറ്റ് പാഡ്
- മരം പ്ലാറ്റ്ഫോം
- Steel Platform
It is NOT recommended to use dirt, grass, woodchips, gravel, hillsides, or unlevel ground as a foundation.

2. അൺപാക്കിംഗും ഭാഗം തിരിച്ചറിയലും
Carefully unpack all components and verify against the parts list provided in your packaging. Separate similar parts to avoid confusion during assembly.
3. Base and Floor Assembly
Assemble the base frame and attach the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) floor panels. Ensure the floor is securely fastened and level. The HDPE floor is designed to be oil, stain, and slip-resistant.
4. Wall Panel Installation
Attach the steel-reinforced dual-wall HDPE panels to the base. Ensure panels are correctly aligned and secured. Be cautious not to overtighten screws, as they fasten into plastic components.

5. Roof and Lid Assembly
Install the roof panels and the spring-hinge lid. The controlled hinge prevents accidental closures. It is recommended to apply a bead of silicone sealant between the two halves of the roof during assembly to enhance weatherproofing and prevent water ingress.
