Storage Shed

What do I like about this shed? Not much. I purchased this shed thinking the construction techniques would be similar to other popular sheds. I was incorrect. They are worse. Let's get started.This shed I ordered came in a sturdy cardboard box on a pallet. It was well packaged and the cardboard was sufficiently thick to minimize shipping damage. The hardware kit was awesome; tons of screws, rivets, bolts, nuts and even an amazing anchoring kit if one chooses to anchor the shed to concrete. It also comes with a Phillips #2 bit and a nice quality pop rivet gun. The instructions are okay, but could have used a bit more detail. This is where the fun ends.This shed is built in sections: 2 sides, back wall, front wall, 2 roof sections and a main roof beam and 2 doors. All of these sections must be built on the ground because of the construction technique know as snap rails. All of the rails come in 2 sections and have to be spliced together to form a complete rail, this is a pain. Some of the screws holding the splice together will need to be removed during construction, bad design. Most of these rails are 'snapped' into place on the edge of the panels. The sheet panels have to be assembled first before the snap rails are installed. Get a long 2X4 to put under each end to prop the end up, or you will never get the rails snapped onto the panels. If you have a bad back and can't work on the ground, go find a different shed to build, serious. You are on your knees the whole time. Most of the pre-punched holes line up, but a lot don't as well - which is a pain. If you have a drill driver, most of the screws can be spun up and will self-tap. For those that don't, break out your drill, you will be using it - a lot. The manufacture recommends drilling 1/8" holes. Rubbish. Drill 3/32" holes. 1/8" is too big, your screw will strip the hole out, regardless of how delicate you are twisting the screws. The manufacture should have pre-punched 3/32" holes. Assembly: Once you have assembled all the panels, they will all need to be fitted together. This is a two or three person job. If the wind is blowing, save it for another day, your panels will be all over the yard. Once all the panels are built, they all have a slight twist to them. Once put together, the twist will come out, but 2 people are required. Once all the panels are screwed into place, one must assemble the roof. Not easy as this is made up of 2 panels. Again, 2 people are needed. Once the roof beam is assembled onto the first roof panel, it's mounted on the shed as the first half of the roof. This part isn't too bad. The trick is assembling the second half of the roof. The second half of the roof is slid into position, but cannot be easily slid under the rood cap lip. Also, the roof panel sags in the middle and is a serious pain to feed into the rail cap for assembly. I strongly suggest getting two Vice Grip C-Clamps 11R to "pull" the roof panels into the rail. The last complaint I have is the serious oversight the manufacture did not address during design. The bottom rail is a "C" type rail system; the inside being slight higher than the outside. The problem is when it rains, it will fill this "C" channel up with water, where eventually it will rust the lower rail out - there are no drainage holes. Poor, poor design. If you are looking for an easy shed to build, a water tight shed to build, this may not be the one for you. Once the shed is assembled, it is sturdy, but does lack middle side and back support beams. The doors seem to be okay but are a bit tricky to build. Would I buy it again? NO.

I purchased two of these sheds and they’re perfect for my use. I poured one large concrete slab to fit both units. Assembled one unit on Saturday and the second one on Sunday. These sheds are not like the Chinese junk. All the parts were labeled and instruction manual easy to follow. Although it rained on Sunday, we still completed both sheds. Best value on the market.

The first two things I noticed about this shed is it had swinging doors instead of the cheap sliding doors and the color was something other than cream. I built a wood foundation from 4 x 4’s and plywood which has worked well. The shed was pretty straight forward to assemble and the labeled parts were a great help. It took my husband and I about 6 hours to complete. Once assembled I was surprised at how much room there was, there is more headroom than my previous shed and my shelves fit nicely. So far I’m happy with the purchase and have freed up space in my garage.

If u r not professional related contractor, Please try not buy it. VErY Very to install, end up I needed to hire professional to install. Quality is bad, the material of shred very thin and soft. Not sure can it be last or not. The instructions is terrible, not make sense. Some parts missing, and the screws is extremely inappropriate too short for some placeThe holes to screw in is too small. DON’T BUY， u will create yrself headache . I wish the I can give -10stars / The other problem, water leaking during rain. Extremely extremely not Recommended, All my tools and machines damaged. After couple days of heavy rain, inside is flooding ???? Very very bad design!!! :(

Product is well made with thicker sheets than others. Assembly took me 2 days coz i can't work all day here in AZ it was 102 degrees but if weather was great it will only take me one day for the shed and another day for the floor. Some holes don't align but ni big deal. Installing the roof took me awhile to realize the screws are jamming the ridge cap that's why it won't slide in smoothly so keep that in mind. Overall i love the shed very sturdy and good looking. Thanks

Took over a month to receive it. Then took a total of 22 hours to assemble. that's with 3 people spending their entire weekends trying to figure this out, and they all have history in construction so it should have been easy. Pieces were missing so we had to fill those in with plywood, the nails stick out on the inside of the shed because they're way too long (so make sure you hammer them down or something so no one gets hurt), the instructions made absolutely no sense and the instruction video makes it look easy but it's NOT. on top of trying to work with those instructions, pieces were labeled incorrectly so even finding out what you needed to do, you still needed to find the right piece. For almost $500 you should just buy one from Home Depot and have them set it up for you.

When the package arrived I expected it to be much bigger. We opened it and the pieces seemed thin. But once put together we were surprised at how sturdy and nice the shed was. Very happy with this purchase and the cost. Putting it together you definitely need a couple people to make it easier. Nice little storage shed for the yard.
