Usage Features:
- Foundation Requirement: The manual strongly recommends constructing a wooden or concrete base as a foundation for the shed to ensure stability and proper installation. Site preparation involves leveling the ground surface before building the foundation.
- Assembly Process: The assembly is broken down into 36 detailed steps, starting from foundation construction and progressing through wall and roof panel installation, and door assembly. Each step includes clear diagrams and part labels.
- Door System: The shed includes a door system with specific components like DLA (Door Left Assembly) and DRA (Door Right Assembly), along with hinges (DH) and a locking mechanism (DG, DF). The manual highlights the importance of distinguishing the front and back of the door panels.
- Ventilation: Components like A3 and A4, along with specific roof panels, suggest the inclusion of ventilation features to prevent moisture buildup inside the shed.
- Front Orientation: The manual consistently indicates the "Front" of the shed, which is crucial for correct panel and door installation.
- Installation Tips: Specific tips are provided, such as "You need to gently lift the 19 and then screw it" (Step 24) and "When installing the hole at the bottom of 19, 19 needs to be moved or lifted" (Step 25), to guide users through potentially tricky parts of the assembly.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: The shed can be cleaned with a garden hose or a mild detergent solution. Users are advised against using a stiff brush or abrasive cleaner, as these could damage the shed.
- Stability Checks: Periodical checks are recommended to ensure the shed remains stable and that the site remains level.
- Security: It is highly recommended to secure the shed to an immovable object or to the ground by drilling holes in the floor at pre-marked locations and inserting proper screws (1.9"-3" size, screws not included).
- Snow and Leaf Removal: The roof should be kept clean of snow and leaves to prevent damage from heavy loads, which could make the shed unsafe to enter.
- Wind Exposure: While wind direction varies, it's an important factor for placement. Reducing wind exposure, especially on the door side, is recommended. Doors should be kept closed and locked to prevent wind damage.

- Sharp Edges: Some parts have steel edges, requiring careful handling.

- Weight Distribution: Heavy articles should not be leaned against the walls to avoid distortion.
- Roof Safety: Do not stand on the roof.
- Permits: Users are advised to consult local authorities regarding any permits required to erect a shed.
- Customer Support: For any issues, users are directed to contact Patiowell customer service at saleservice@patiowell.com, rather than returning the unit to the store. An installation tutorial video is also available via a QR code and URL provided in the manual.
