  2. Maintenance
  3. Asgard storage units are made to the highest standard possible - passing through a stringent quality control procedure.  However, to maintain the look and prolong the life of your unit we recommend you follow this basic maintenance routine:
  4. We would suggest that all hinges be regularly greased, to ensure smooth operation.
  5. Ensure all locking mechanisms are regularly oiled. 
  6. Make sure the unit is clean and free from dirt and grease. DO NOT USE A HIGH PRESSURE JET WASH.
  7. Wash the unit (at least twice a year) with soapy water
  8. On metal work, where the paint has been chipped or scratched: The affected area should be gently rubbed down to base metal with a medium grade sandpaper. Treat area with any rust inhibitor product, apply touch-up paint and leave to dry (touch up paint is available from our customer care department) 
Condensation
 

All Asgard units are designed with built in ventilation holes to minimise the build up of moisture (condensation) in the unit. However, in extreme conditions (such as a severe frost or heavy snow fall) some condensation may form. To minimise this, ensure the unit is situated in a well ventilated area i.e. not tight up against a fence or wall. This increased air flow around the unit will reduce the chance of moisture forming.

In the event of heavy snow fall, try to brush any thick snow from accessible areas of the roof of the unit.

In the event of a harsh frost the locking mechanism may stick. Simply pour a little warm (NOT BOILING) water over the handle to release the lock.
 
In the unlikely event your unit does get persistent condensation we recommend you purchase a moisture absorber. These tiny units trap moisture in the air keeping condensation and musty odours under control.  These are available in most DIY stores for around £3.00 or online from amazon or ebay.
 
Heat
 
Asgard sheds are the toughest on the market.  To be this tough we use heavy gauge steel.  The nature of the material does mean the shed may get warm inside if built in an area that gets direct sunlight for an extended period of time.  If you are storing goods and products inside the unit that may be damaged by excessive heat, we recommend you do not site the unit in an area that is exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.  Try and keep the unit in partial shade. 
 
Shed bases
 
To ensure the shed doors open smoothly and the locks function correctly.  You must site the shed on a flat level base.  See each product page for details of minimum base sizes for each shed. Click here for details of how to build a shed base.
