Swollen shed door - how to fix?

We had a new shed this time last year and the door swelled up and we couldn't get into it until April. The shed company did come and plane the door a bit in April (earliest they would visit due to lockdown) and it was fine over the summer.

My DH said today that the door was sticking again and he really had to wrench it open. Is there anything we can do to fix it as it's only going to get worse + this year the shed is full and access is needed.

It is pressure treated wood and it's painted with Sadolin. We're technically still in warranty for a week or so but their customer service was so appalling I can't face going back to the Company.

We are in the UK, in London so while we have had rain recently we don't have terrible winters.

Many thanks
