Suncast ® BMS4900 Garden Resin Storage Box Shed Including A Reinforced Floor For Heavy Storage – Kensington Seven Model (98 Cubic ft Capacity)

This product is amazing, heavy duty, superbly constructed, every item was in the package, with spares, even a tool to use. All the pieces were perfectly made, everything fitted together properly. It even told you to follow the instructions in the proper sequence to avoid it not going together properly, and thankfully we did this, or we would indeed have got into a pickle. Don't try to use shortcuts. The instruction leaflet was well set out and worded, with diagrams, and each piece labelled with a letter of the alphabet, so it was easy to find which bit to put together next. There are also 3 places on it where you can affix a padlock. I can't praise this item highly enough, and I noticed it said on it 'Made in the USA'. Well whoever designed it deserves a medal.

Excellent hut. I erected this myself in about 1 hour. Still think it is expensive.

dont buy this product because you cant get replacement bolts for it .door has now fallen off because the bolts have broken

Shed arrived exactly as promised. Delivery was by transport truck, which was very appreciated as it is a HUGE box.All parts were there and assembly was a breeze. It is supposed to be done by two people, but I managed to put it together on my own in about two hours. It was a little tricky to get the two side panels completely aligned, especially with only one person. I used a rubber mallet, but kicking it with the side of my foot worked better. :-)Shed is very well engineered - I am impressed with how solid it is and how easily the roof slides to get better access to the contents inside.I purchased this shed to store my snow blower in and there was lots of room to spare, as you can see by the photo. Perfect for this purpose.Item is pricey, but well worth the money. Time will tell - we will see how it survives a Canadian (New Brunswick) winter.Edited in July 2019 to add: Shed has been through two Canadian winters now. Still looks like the day I put it up. Only thing I did was to put down some patio stones, to raise the shed off the ground by a couple of inches. We were having a lot of freezing rain and the bottom of the shed doors would ice up. Now, that issue is solved.

This mini-shed exceeded my expectations! I was easily able to assemble this alone in about an hour. The hardest part was getting the large and heavy box to close to where I planned to have the shed. I used a dolly to get my box to the right spot, and was able to do that alone. I am handy with tools as a homeowner, but I'm no professional construction dude!In my case, I assembled this on a space of level concrete around our pool, so it is perfectly level and with a secure sub-floor (other reviewers are concerned about the floor bending on soft ground, but not in my case). I have to say that the engineering on this is excellent, and the instructions are incredibly easy to follow--perhaps the best I've seen. I did use a rubber mallet to gently "tap" the walls into place, and found that very helpful even though the directions do not suggest that. It's worth buying one just for this assembly, and then having it for when you need it again in my opinion.Each part was labeled (A,B,C...) when they pourde the models that created each individual piece, so there's no way to have a label peel off. If you follow the directions, it goes together very easily, and the finished product is quite sturdy. Mine is currently home to a gasoline pressure washer and hoses/fittings, a huge winter pool cover, a 4-bike rack (large, heavy), about 6 huge flower pots (think small-trees) nested inside each other, and a couple of garden hoses. There is room left for more stuff too.The height of this shed is about rib-height on a 6' male. It rises to just underneath my pool fence, so I'm hopeful that my HOA won't complain that I have a "shed," which is not allowed by our HOA.The slide-back roof operates smoothly and makes accessing items in the rear simple. It also looks very pleasant and non-obtrusive.The weakness of this box is the locking mechanism. It has holes molded into the roof and door handles that line up so that you can use two padlocks to secure the roof to the doors, and the doors to each other. They work fine, but if a crook is determined, it would be simple to defeat them. The door handles only attach with two screws each, so it would be easy to rip them off with a crowbar, and since the locking holes are in the handles, that's the flaw in the design. Still, if you are concerned about using these in a high-theft area, you probably should be shopping for a real wooden or metal shed, not a plastic box. I do lock mine as a mild deterrent, and I'm not concerned about theft where this is located.If you want an exceptionally well-made "baby-shed" that's larger than a deck box, but smaller than a real shed, this is it!

7/19/2022 updateAfter 8 years, the little bendy seam parts on a couple panels broke apart. Only two pieces have this seam (rear left side panel and rear panel). Silly design in hindsight. Bound to break at some point.Called up Suncast today. Discontinued model. Panel parts no longer available. Can still get the easy bolts and maybe some other similar small parts / pieces. Panels, no.Overall, held up really well for Montana winters and storms. Don't leave these kinds of sheds exposed to the dominant wind directions. They will and do break apart the easy bolts and panels will start moving apart. If you have something like that, you're either going to build a structure to limit the wind that hits the shed or you need a different shed [so many places have them to deliver or custom build for your needs] or build your own building with concrete, studs, the whole deal. Plastic's easy DIY but it won't hold up to seriously intense winds. Overall, still like them. They were so nice to just slide top, pull out mower, do work, put away................ end update.Overall, pleased with this shed. It does need a level base or the doors end up tilted. I thought I was level, but apparently not level enough for the doors and had to adjust it about a 1/4" on one side. Oh well, I didn't have a slab base, just dirt with some boards for extra support. The floor comes in two pieces so I put a board under that seam.Mine arrived with a defective front right panel. Door wouldn't fit into it. Shed wouldn't sit level to get the holes to line up with the right side panels. Checked all the rest by assembling it. When the door wouldn't go on, I called Suncast. They shipped a new one to me at no charge. Shipping estimate was 7-10 business days. Arrived right at 7 days from the phone call. Got the shed together.Goes together quite easily. You put the base together, put in the screws, then start going around with the wall panels. The box includes the little screw driver tool (square-ish end) and all the little plastic screws and other pieces. Easy to screw stuff together. Be prepared with a rubber mallet to help get those extra few millimeters of space closed up so the holes line up better. Don't over tighten. If you hear popping sounds, that's the plastic on the screws setting into the walls, roof, etc. You don't want a lot of those sounds, I figure. I got mine on snugly and tried to avoid the pops.Have 3 of these sheds. After a few years outside, color barely fades. Top still slides. doors open find. Stuff stays dry. Our sheds are out of direct wind. So any 40-60+ mph gusts off the mountains don't hit them directly. They seem to stay put and we usually get 20-30 mph gusts around here. There is no lock included so you'll have to find something to put through the little hole to keep the doors and roof closed in wind (or with animals; our cats love to go in this for some reason).Overall, it's like 185 lb or something like that assembled. Even so, you could assemble it yourself if you can lift 25+ lb. If grabbing a 25 lb bag of rice or animal food is out of your league, don't try to assemble this yourself. And don't mess with assembly on a high wind day. The plastic is heavy but when you're putting one wall into place and the wind's slamming into it, it can act like the sail on a sailboat. Save assembly for a low wind day (or better yet, no wind).Two people makes the roof easier. The roof panels are the heaviest.It does the job. Keeps stuff dry and out of the elements. Demands a level floor for smooth door operation. If you get a defective piece, Suncast will take care of it. Be prepared to wait 7 - 10 business days. Out of 3 sheds, only one piece was defective.We like the shorter sheds out here due to the winds. It's rare to have a still day within sight of the mountains. Air's constantly moving somewhere around here. These have held up to Montana's snow, hail, rain, wind, and changing temperatures. We do have them somewhat shielded from high winds (like another building is in the way to take the main wind assault or some other object like bushes, trees, or whatever). I wouldn't feel safe with this taking direct winds from the gusts we get around here.Out of the 3 sheds, the most recent has the strongest odor. The odor goes down to barely noticeable over time. If you're looking for odorless, this isn't it out of the box. It might get there after a lot of sun and air go through it. Out of the box, it's got an odor. It's not a revolting odor, but it is there. Leaving the parts out in the sunlight for a few hours cut the initial odor considerably. Had we not been pressed with rain and weather events to get it assembled rapidly, would have let the parts air out longer prior to assembly.This shed has worked out well for my family. It should come with some sort of pin or mechanism to keep the door locked / shut. I have no idea what size lock metal or whatever to put through the hole. My dad had some long pin-looking things with a slight twist at the bottom. Sort of look like nails. They fit just right so that's all I use. If you're looking for a padlock, I have no idea what size fits the hole. Take a piece of paper, shade the hole, go to the store. Find the one whose metal is smaller than the shaded dot. That's all I can think of there.

Very easy to assemble. Not too small or too big. Good quality materials. Just make sure it's on a flat surface. Very satisfied!

Needed a small shed that would fit in my small back yard, but still hold quite a bit of stuff (a professional tile saw, paint sprayer, generator, lawnmower and some yard tools. I did some research on this shed, measured the stuff I need to store, and I'm pretty sure everything will fit, no problems. Probably with some room to spare. In any case, if it doesn't fit, that's not the shed's fault, it's my fault for not making sure things would fit before I buy it.Using the plans on the company's website, I built the wooden platform in advance, and anchored it into the ground with 4x4s and concrete, since I live in hurricane-prone Florida. The materials for the platform ran about $150, and with the help of a friend, we knocked it all out in under three hours.Arrived on a freight truck, they put it in my yard where I asked them to, all great.Shuttled the pieces to the back yard and began assembling. I was worried it would take me a few hours working alone. I had the thing almost entirely assembled when I ran into a problem. One of the threaded holes for the large plastic screws that holds the base of the door was stripped. Not from over-tightening, like it was already bored out too big. So, thinking quickly, since the floor comes in two identical pieces, I thought maybe if I tore it all down, flipped the floor around so the back was in the front, I would have better luck. Unfortunately, same problem. I think maybe both my pieces came off of a bad run of them or something, it seems odd that the same fitting on both pieces would have the same problem. I haven't contacted Suncast for a resolution yet, but I will (it was already pretty late in the evening so I assumed they probably don't have any customer service lines running this late). Even still, with putting it almost completely together, taking it almost completely apart and putting it all back together again took me less than 90 minutes. I would guess less than an hour total if I had assembled it all without issue. The problem is that if I have to wait for Suncast to ship me a replacement part, I'll also have to disassemble and reassemble it yet again. I'm hoping they have some other kind of fix.As it was first being assembled, it seemed a little wobbly, and I was worried that I got something shoddy, but once the whole thing was together, it feels pretty solid. It's important to get it on a very FLAT surface - I had a bit of a dip in one corner of my platform that I didn't notice when we built it, but the assembled shed was all skewed. The doors didn't line up right. I was able to detach one corner of the platform and jack it up a bit until everything was nice and even again, and then reattached it.Aside from those minor problems, it was great, with easy assembly. I would only anticipate coming back to take off a star or two if Suncast customer service turns out to be especially rude or unhelpful.
