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

The 15x8 ft lifetime shed is a great shed. It was a little bit difficult to put together but I expected it to be, after all it's not a deck box. It's a really good buy. My wife and I assembled it in about a day, also you have to have a level and hard surface to put it on. If it's not level you will definitely have trouble getting the doors to work correctly. I didn't even open the instructions, lifetime has an awesome video on YouTube where a guy actually builds one explaining every step every screw and part as he assembled the shed, right through completion. Was awesome! Feels really sturdy, lots of room. I chose to build a wood platform for mine out of treated lumber. It was cheaper than cement.

A lot of parts and requires 2 people. Very sturdy and can store a lot of stuff.

Durable! And once it is up, lovely. No leaking at all and so much storage area. I like the dual doors for airflow.but please note: This will arrive in lots of different pallets..The truck delivering it could only come up so far and we had to move so many items ofc the pallets ourselves. The boxes are not marked too well, and we had to sift thru,/open boxes to find out the 1st, 2nd etc., where to start instructionals.4 stars only because of difficulty finding instructionals and difficulty assembling. You will need several days and lots of patience if doing this by yourself.

When the shed was delivered, we made sure to sort out each part. This is a very important step in the beginning.The directions were ok but not everything is labeled. Commen sense, paying close attention and watching the videos with the qr code was what made this a successful build. We were able to build the while.shed in 1 weekend with 3-4 people helping. I would say the hardest part of the hold buil is shaping in the walls to the floor. You really need your WHOLE body weight to get it in correctly. Also no direction as to where to put the shudders on so we ended up eye balling itWe've had it the shed for over a month and couldn't be happier that we purchased it. Very durable, let's light in and animal proof. Would highly recommend this product.

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.

The shed looks nice once it’s together. The instructions in the book are difficult to follow and understand. The pictures are not clear enough to really help. The parts are not labeled, but the boxes are. Pay attention to the box and don’t take out the parts until that part is called for. If you have trouble, they give you a QR code to a video. Every time we watched the video to explain the instructions, we ended up having to tear down everything the video explained because it was wrong. If we ever buy another one, we will hire someone to assemble it because it was not worth the frustration.

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.
