Lifetime 60079 Outdoor Storage Dual Entry Shed, 15 x 8 ft, Desert Sand

For such an expense, I read a lot of reviews. Many complained about the instructions, or the quality, or the stability. I'm sure if you have a heavy snow load or extreme winds, probably get something more solid. But for me it's been great. People who complained about the assembly: two people would help, but I'm 64 and built it myself, and only had difficulty with one panel when starting. It took a day and a half to complete it; it does help if you're handy with tools and a bit mechanically inclined.I built it on a concrete pad, but if the pad isn't completely level, you'll notice how it will affect the doors. I've had a couple of heavy rains, and it has remained dry inside. I've found that the doors are difficult to close at times, but not impossible. Because my pad wasn't completely flat, I did have a few difficult areas, but overall it's been great. I got the 8x15 size and it's already filling up. Pay close attention when putting the doors together, instructions are slightly misleading, and I did have one panel that was missing the indentations for the shutter on one side, but I improvised and got it installed.

Amazing Quality Shed!!! Takes a few hours to set up if you continuously go at it and holds up against all weather. will always buy a lifetime shed as this is my third one. My Chickens love it too!!!!

Overall it looks nice but was very difficult to assemble and took quite a bit of time and had to really pay extra attention to the directions as they were not completely clear on which wall panels went where along with some of the roof panels that weren't clearly marked and had different numbers on them then were in the directions. Some of them were obvious but others not so much. They said it should take a day to put together with two people but it took a day just to assemble all the parts before you could even begin putting the unit together. Ceiling does not leak that's a plus and the walls also do not leak but the floor that's another story. It is not a sealed floor and is definitely not watertight. I used pressure treated plywood to build the platform that the room sat on But realize this may be a mistake as it seems to keep a lot of water on the plywood. If you're going to buy one of these either build a cement floor or build a deck platform with 5/4 decking so that the water can escape from under the room floor. Also when it's a hot sunny day the doors swell because of being vinyl and they are hard to close. Once things cool down later in the day the doors can be easily closed again. Just the for warn you there is a ton of Nuts and Bolts and fasteners and sometimes can be overwhelming and also tedious trying to determine what bag of nuts and bolts go to what section. Overall I like the unit now that it's done and put together but not very impressed with the floor system that comes with the shed, I was expecting it to be a sealed room but that's not the case. I'd give it four out of five stars just because it is pretty cool once it's put together

The shed turned out so well I am thinking of moving my mother-in-law into it. :-)Seriously, it’s a very nice looking shed and functional. Most sheds are eye sores. This shed brings the backyard to life.Install was a little challenging. It took two of us two full days, with breaks. We found the online videos a good supplement to the manual. All the parts are well labeled. It was like building a life sized erector set. We kinda enjoyed it.After it was finished we were missing a door latch. We called the 1-800 number and they shipped it right out, no questions asked.The material is sturdy. It won’t rot or rust. It will be interesting to see how well it will hold up in the FL heat, and if the tie downs will keep hurricane winds from blowing it away. That’s how we lost our last shed.My only advice is to build a level, solid foundation to put it on. The floor it comes with is very nice aesthetically, but it needs a wood or concrete base.All-in-all, a good buy for the money.

So first, this item took a good time to receive. The delivery people contacted us then never showed until days later they showed up at my door when I was getting ready to leave. I asked them to put it in the backyard as it stated they would, but nope! So, I asked for them to then leave it by the back fence gate, but they didn't want to take the pallet over there and said they'd leave it in my driveway. Well, these items were heavy and it took us a great time to open boxes and carry piece by piece into the backyard from the otherside of the house where my driveway is. They seemed as though it was to much of problem to help a disabled individual out.Well, we finally got it up after a few weeks. The directions were not very good and we were missing some screws. So we went to home depot and bought what was missing. It seemed ok at first then the doors they get stuck and you have to push the other door to shut it properly. After the rain and all and then sun, it seems that this shed warps. The top is looking a bit off and rain does get in the shed. It's not a lot of rain, but this shed definitely is not made to use for a storage. Perhaps some yard stuff but, I would not recommend this. I wanted a tough shed, but partner said no, let's go this route and now I hate looking in my backyard. It looks cheap and for me, it wasn't cheap spending over $2k and for a bit more, I could have had a tough shed that'd last longer than under 2 years. Well, I learned a valuable, yet expensive lesson.

Nice shed but the doors don’t line up.

It was worth the time to put it together. Just take your time and follow the directions and look at the video a few times when you get stuck on a step..

We hired their installers for $500. Well worth the money. They built it in 3 hrs. Nice shed for what we need it for.
