Troubleshooting
Lid does not open or close smoothly.
Check for any obstructions around the lid or hinges. Ensure the storage box is on a level surface. The spring-assisted struts may require adjustment or may be nearing the end of their lifespan.
Water ingress into the storage box.
Confirm the lid is fully closed and sealed. Check for any damage to the lid seal or the box edges. Ensure the box is not sitting in standing water.
Product appears faded or discolored.
While UV resistant, prolonged extreme sun exposure can cause fading over time. This is a cosmetic issue and does not typically affect structural integrity. Consider repositioning the box to an area with partial shade if possible.

Refer to the assembly manual and ensure all panels are aligned correctly before securing. Assistance from a second person can make the process much easier, especially for larger panels.
