Maintenance Features:

Sharp Edges Warning: A prominent "CAUTION sharp edges" warning is displayed, advising users to wear gloves at all times to reduce the risk of injury during handling and assembly.
Weather Considerations: Users are advised NOT to assemble the building on a windy day, as large panels can act like sails, making construction difficult and unsafe. "Watch the Weather Closely" is emphasized.
Worksite Safety: Keep children and pets away from the worksite until the building is completely assembled to avoid distractions and accidents.
Roof Weight Limit: NEVER concentrate weight on the roof of the building.
Cleaning: DO NOT use power washing to clean the shed.
Chemical Storage: Combustibles and corrosives must be stored in airtight containers. Any corrosive chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides) spilled on interior or exterior surfaces must be cleaned immediately, as rust caused by chemical damage is not covered by the warranty.
Rust Prevention:
- Avoid nicking or scraping the coating surface, inside and out.
- Keep the roof, base perimeter, and door free of debris.
- Touch up scrapes or nicks and any area of visible rust as soon as possible.
Edge Trim Caution: During gable assembly, the edge trim should remain in place on the top edge of the gable until roof panels are installed to prevent mishaps on sharp edges.
