"We suggest the following procedure for cleaning your sinkware:
 
Place the sinkware in the sink and cover it with warm water. Add one tablespoon of liquid chlorine bleach per cup of water. Allow the sinkware to soak over night. Remove and rinse thoroughly.
 
We do not recommend the use of powdered cleansers or abrasive pads on the sinkware because these items would scuff the surfaces and allow stains to penetrate even deeper. If you follow one of the above-described cleaning methods on a regular basis, your sinkware should remain fresh and clean and staining will be minimized."

"As our Use and Care brochure states, we recommend avoiding re-heating or placing hot foods high in tomato content in the containers as either action may cause permanent staining. To remove stains, we suggest soaking the stained pieces in a solution of one-tablespoon liquid chlorine bleach per cup of warm water for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, we suggest covering the stain with liquid Palmolive Automatic Dishwasher detergent, allowing it to stand for 30 minutes and then thoroughly rinsing the piece.
We do not recommend the use of any abrasive cleaning pads or cleansers because they would scuff the surfaces and allow stains to penetrate even deeper."

To install, set the shelf on the brackets, aligning the wires from front to back in the bracket slots. Placing your hands on top of the shelf, push down and back so that the line wires (which run left to right) will insert into the notches on the brackets.

If one of the line wires is not completely lined up, you will need to pull the whole shelf out and reinstall.

Our sheds are not designed to be moved while assembled. We recommend that you disassemble the shed and assemble in the new location. Damage could occur while moving the shed. It is also possible for the shed panels to become disengaged, making the shed unstable during or after moving.

To remove the wall anchors, back clips and brackets you will need to grab the circular head of the drive pin with a pair of pliers, turn one-half turn. Release hold of the drive pin, grab the drive pin again pulling straight toward you. This procedure will deactivate the molly hardware piece and then the item can be easily removed from the wall.

To replace the wheels, secure one wheel onto the axle with the end cap. Thread the axle through the openings on the bottom of the container, then attach the second wheel and end cap. Secure the end caps using a rubber mallet. It may also be helpful to place the can on it's side when doing the above steps.

Note: this shed must be assembled in the order indicated in the Instructions.

By insuring that the floor is level and on a solid surface, the walls will click into place along the edge of the floor.

If you find that your panels do not click into place, please contact us at 888-895-2110 Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5:00 pm ET for more troubleshooting information.

When choosing a location in your yard make sure you choose an area with easy access and one that will provide proper drainage for water to run away from the shed location. The shed must be built on a solid, level surface. A cement patio or treated-wood platform is recommended. You can use 2x4 treated lumber 16" on center for support with 5/8" Plywoor or OSB board on top.
