Keter Factor Outdoor Apex Double Door Garden Storage Shed 6 x 6ft Beige Brown Wood effect | Fade Free | All Weather Resistant | Safe and Secure | Zero Maintenance | 15 year Warranty

The media could not be loaded. Review for the Keter 6x6 feet shed.Easy to build for two people, took about 3 hours all in all. Once built it is quite sturdy for being just platic pieces fitting together with minimal bolting.Fits at least 5 adult bicycles easily, don't have to be put diagonally. I have 2 and then a bunch of other things.Comes with a shelf.Power drill highly recommended as has about 20 screws to install upwards to secure the roof.Bolting to floor is optional and is the last step, but a level sturdy base is a must, as if it's uneven then the whole thing will be misaligned and doors may not shut properly. It does come with a shed fooor that sits on whatever floor your installing it and holds the walls in place, but it's just hard plastic. And not really to be placed on uneven grass or dirt.If sunny, keep the parts in the shade (box closed) while assembling or they'll probably get too hot to handle for assembling.It has rained heavily and even hailed this past week it's been up, and so far it has withstood it perfectly. Don't expect any issues through winter, but we shall see.Happy with the purchase as was quick to build, requires minimal maintenance, is sturdy enough and actually looks good.Update Nov 2021: year and a half in. No maintenance on it, has maintained really well. Walls bulge and warp outwards a little bit only if something on the inside is leaned onto it. They come back to normal once sorted. It locks well with a simple combination lock. No water ingress or ice damage, no mold or other damp damage. Really good and still holding well after a year and a half with nil maintenance. Quite happy!

After reviewing similar types of shed and the reviews for this one, I opted for the 6x6 version, the shed arrived early and was contacted prior to delivery which was helpful in clearing a space. The shed arrived in 2 very large flat pack boxes and everything was there with no damage to anything. I assembled the shed by myself and it took about 3 hours, the main part was relatively quick and a good hour was taken up by the various fixings to the door, handles etc and fitting window. I would suggested;Make sure you assemble on a flat surface, the interlocking sides won’t align as easily otherwise.Assemble as per the instructions ie start at the front corner and fit the sides all the way round to the other side (eg don’t be tempted to fit all the corners).Look at the various YouTube videos about assembling the shed, the Keter ones are good, albeit they are quite quick time but you can always watch again or slow them down, there are some which highlight what not to do (as mentioned fit sides out of order and try to ‘slot’ sides in from the top) I found the videos really helpful and sped up things once I got going.Small steps needed to fit the upper side and end bits, they need to locate evenly to get the securing pins in, the roof was quite easy to fit by myself so wasn’t a problem and was no heavy lifting at all.I used a drill with a screw driver attachment which sped things up.I moved the shed after it was assembled, 2 of us managed and used a rope under it and ‘shuffled’ it into place I wouldn’t push hard at the sides or try lifting by the roof as although it’s certainly sturdy enough for use if you pushed hard at the sides, especially mid sections, you could damage them.I found the 2 slots where the door locking mechanism were supposed to be inserted weren’t fully ‘punched through) but they pushed in no problem at all, again the video helped clarify where they went.SummaryDelighted with the shed and since assembled there have been a couple of torrential downpours and no problems at all with leaks, assembled it myself with no real problems, doors a bit fiddly, moved it once assembled with 2 people and a rope, the shelves are really handy as the plastic sides not really suitable for attaching brackets for bought shelves, arrived early and well packaged.

Start at the topDelivery - Showed up when it was supposed to but had some damage to one of the boxes. Looks like the courier caused it. My wife tells me they photographed the boxes but neglected to take pictures of the damaged box. Naughty!Amazon customer service - Excellent: I immediately notified them of the damage to the box and explained that it would be a week or two until I could build it so wasn't sure if there was any damage. Two weeks later sure enough I found some very minor damage to one panel, two small shallow fifty pence size dents on the inside, I notified them and they quickly resolved it by giving me a very fair discount on the price. It wasn't worth the hassle of sending it back as the damage was very minor and being there for the courier on two more occassion wasn't worth it. Well done Amazon!The Shed: Quality wise it's okay and very easy to build. It took me three hours but that was after a long hard day clearing out the old wooden shed and getting rid of it. If I did it today it would take me ninety minues. One person can do it but you might need a hand screwing the roof panels into place. Read the instructions first and be very careful when using a power screwgun. You will need one but keep it on a low setting. Seems flimsy but once up solid enough. Not too bad space wise and no maintenance. I found I needed a wee bit more space so with the nice discount Amazon gave me I am going to buy the Keter Pation Box. That will give me all the storage I need.Value for Money..That's an entirely subjective thing. I paid £359.99 not including the discount I got later. If I had paid more than that I might not have thought it worthwhile. But bear in mind you won't have to spend £30 quid a tub on preservative or money on new roofing felt or bitument to re-waterproof a wooden shed.Niggles: Watch out for the plastic hinges for the mid point in the doors. They seem as though they could easily be broken when fitting. Maybe apply a wee bit of grease when snapping into place.One WeekAfter Build: Had some pretty good wind and rain and it's wind and watertight. Does what is says on the tin.Overall I'd give the shed 3 starts but added and extra star for Amazons' customer service which was very good. I'll see how it fares over the next few years but if doesn't stand up to normal wear and tear then the next one will be a wooden shed. They have more character but a bit more maintenance is needed.
