How to Assemble a 2x240L Hide Away Container

Quick answer

Assembling your Keter 2x240L Hide Away container takes about an hour with two people. Follow the step-by-step process below to ensure a sturdy, weather-resistant enclosure that hides your bins neatly.

Assembly steps for the 2x240L Hide Away Container

1. Prepare your workspace and tools: Clear a flat, level area near where the container will stay. You'll need a Phillips-head screwdriver (or a power drill with a screwdriver bit), a rubber mallet, and a measuring tape. Have the instruction manual and all parts laid out for identification. Check that all panels and hardware are present before starting; missing parts can delay the build.
2. Assemble the base frame: Connect the base panels using the provided screws. Ensure the interlocking tabs align fully before tightening. Use the rubber mallet to gently tap panels together if needed. A square base is critical for everything above. Measure diagonally across the base – equal measurements mean it's square.
3. Build the back and side walls: Attach the back wall panel to the base, then add the side panels one at a time. Use the screws and brackets provided. Have a helper hold each panel upright while you fasten it. Do not fully tighten screws until all panels are in place. Panels may feel loose until the roof is added – this is normal. Do not overtighten early.
4. Install the front frame and doors: Attach the front frame to the side walls. Then hang the doors on the hinges. Adjust the door alignment using the hinge slots before tightening the screws. The doors should open and close smoothly without rubbing. If a door sticks, loosen the hinge screws slightly, adjust the door position, and retighten.
5. Add the roof panels and secure all fasteners: Place the roof panels on top and screw them into the walls. Now go back and fully tighten all screws from previous steps. Check that all joints are snug and the structure feels solid. Double-check that the roof is level – a tilted roof can collect water and cause long-term issues.
