FAQs
Does the Trimetals Storeguard come with a floor?
No, the Trimetals Storeguard does not come with a floor. For optimal protection and to raise contents above ground level, it is recommended to use a 1/2 inch (12mm) exterior grade plywood floor, which rests on the integrated base frame.
Is the storage box waterproof?
The PVC-coated galvanised steel construction is highly weather-resistant and designed to keep contents dry. However, like all outdoor storage, it's essential to ensure correct assembly on a level base to prevent water ingress. Adding the recommended plywood floor also helps protect against ground moisture.
How secure is the Trimetals Storeguard?
It is very secure. The unit is constructed from robust PVC-coated galvanised steel and features two dedicated padlock points, providing excellent protection against theft. (Padlocks are not included).
What kind of base do I need for this storage box?
A firm, flat, and level base is essential for proper installation and stability. Ideal surfaces include concrete, paving slabs, or a well-prepared timber frame.
Can I paint the storage box?
No, the Trimetals Storeguard is made from PVC-coated galvanised steel and is designed to be maintenance-free. Painting is not required and could potentially void the panel guarantee or damage the protective coating. The colour is Anthracite grey.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Trimetals Storeguard comes with a 25-year panel guarantee, demonstrating the manufacturer's confidence in its durability and quality.
Is it difficult to assemble?
The storage box is supplied flat-packed but is designed for simple and rapid construction. All major components are factory assembled, and it comes with clear, easy-to-follow illustrated instructions and all necessary fixings.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not open smoothly or feels stiff.
Check the spring-assisted mechanism for any obstructions or debris. Ensure all hinge fixings are secure but not overtightened, which could impede movement. Refer to the assembly manual to ensure correct installation of the springs.
Water or dampness is getting inside the storage box.
Verify that the storage box is assembled correctly and that all panels are properly joined and sealed according to the instructions. Ensure the unit is placed on a flat, level surface to prevent warping that could create gaps. Consider adding the recommended 1/2 inch (12mm) plywood floor to raise contents above any ground-level moisture.
Difficulty with self-assembly.
Re-read the step-by-step illustrated instructions carefully. Ensure all components are correctly identified and oriented. As major components are factory-assembled, double-check these sections first. If issues persist, consult the instruction manual's troubleshooting section or seek assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
The Trimetals Storeguard is designed for straightforward self-assembly.
Site Preparation: Choose a flat, level, and firm surface for installation. This is crucial for proper assembly and stability. A concrete slab or paved area is ideal.
Unpack & Organize: Carefully unpack all components and verify against the parts list provided in the manual. Organize similar parts together.
Follow Step-by-Step Instructions: Utilize the clear, illustrated assembly instructions. As major components are factory assembled, construction is simplified.
Secure Fixings: Ensure all supplied fixings are tightened securely to maintain structural integrity.
Install Optional Floor (Recommended): If desired, cut a 1/2 inch (12mm) exterior grade plywood to fit the internal dimensions and place it directly onto the base frame.
Compatibility
Base Compatibility: Requires a level, solid foundation (e.g., concrete, paving slabs). It is not designed to be placed directly on uneven ground or grass without proper base preparation.
Internal Floor: Compatible with a 1/2 inch (12mm) exterior grade plywood floor (not supplied) for raising contents 3 inches (7.5cm) off the ground.
Care & Maintenance
Maintenance-Free Design: The PVC-coated galvanised steel construction inherently resists rust, corrosion, and fading, requiring no painting or treatments.
Cleaning: Simply wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent as needed to remove dirt or debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which could damage the coating.
Padlock Points: Periodically check the padlock points for any wear and lubricate padlocks as recommended by their manufacturer.
Hinge Mechanism: While spring-assisted, occasionally checking the lid's hinge mechanism for smooth operation can help ensure its longevity. No specific lubrication is typically required for the spring mechanism itself unless indicated in the manual.
Internal Cleanliness: Keep the interior clean and dry to prevent accumulation of moisture or pests, especially if storing organic materials.
