Muntatge i muntatge

The Patiowell shed features an innovative "Kick-it" installation process designed to reduce the number of screws needed by 35%, making assembly quicker. However, careful attention to detail and proper preparation are crucial for a successful build.

1. Preparació del lloc

• Choose a flat, level area for the shed. An uneven base can lead to door misalignment and structural issues.
• Clear the area of debris, rocks, and vegetation.

2. Floor Assembly

• Assemble the plastic floor base according to the diagrams in the included product instruction sheet. This step is generally quick, taking approximately 15 minutes.
• Ensure all floor panels are securely interlocked and form a stable foundation.

3. Wall Panel Installation ("Kick-it" Method)

• Begin by positioning the first wall panel. It is crucial to ensure this panel is correctly seated and stable, as it can easily pop out of place when installing subsequent panels. Some users find it helpful to temporarily secure the first panel.
• For each wall panel, align the bottom edge with the ground slots of the floor base.
• Apply firm, downward pressure with a "kicking" action to fully insert the wall panel into the floor slots until it clicks securely into place.
• Continue this process for all wall panels. Once the first two panels are correctly installed, the remaining panels typically fit more easily.

4. Roof and Truss Installation

• This step often requires at least two, and ideally three, people due to the size and weight of the roof components and the initial flexibility of the walls.
• Install the metal trusses onto the walls. The walls may be flexible at this stage, requiring careful handling to keep them upright while securing the trusses.
• Attach the roof panels, ensuring they align with the metal supports. Some holes may require minor adjustments or pre-drilling for proper screw insertion.
• Secure the triangular gables to the front and back walls.

5. Instal·lació de la porta

• Refer to the detailed diagrams in your instruction sheet for precise door assembly.
• Insert the hinge rod through the door until it is flush with the circular ring at the bottom. The rod will extend approximately two inches from the top of the door.
• Position the door inside the shed, parallel to the long walls. Slide the door edge without the hinge through the notch in the top metal bracket.
• Set the circular ring at the bottom of the door into the corresponding socket on the floor.
• Tap the hinge rod downwards until the top of the door can be fully moved into the metal bracket.
• Install the plastic cap over the top of the rod and screw it into place to secure the hinge rod.
• Ensure the wall panel adjacent to the door is positioned behind/inside the door. If not, gently push it into place from the outside. Install the metal plate on the inside wall to prevent it from popping out.
