Troubleshooting

Box lid does not close properly

Ensure there are no items obstructing the lid's path. Check that the box is on a level surface and that all assembly components are correctly fitted.

Water found inside the box after rain

Confirm the lid is fully closed and latched. Check for any gaps in the seal or damage to the box. Ensure the box is positioned to allow water run-off and not collect pooling water.

Assembly is difficult

Review the instruction manual carefully, paying attention to the orientation of each part. Ensure you are using the correct components for each step. If still difficult, seek assistance from another person.

Colour fading over time

While designed for UV resistance, prolonged extreme sun exposure can eventually cause fading. Consider repositioning the box to a partially shaded area if possible.
