Lifetime 10' x 8' Outdoor Storage Shed, Gray

I bought my Lifetime 8x10 shed Aug 1 , 2009. Installed it myself on a concrete pad. I used a youtube video to help putting it together which was great. The best advice is to have a bar of soap handy to lubricate the pieces as you assemble them. It really helps. While the plastic has grayed a little bit ( so have I) from 17 years of Pennsylvania weather, it has held up WELL. No leaks , no damage, no cracks etc. Once a year I empty it and powerwash the whole thing/ The door mechanism was never high security and has worn some but it still closes and latches fine. Overall I would recommend this brand of shed to anyone who wants to have a shed that lasts.

Just installed this shed over three days. LOVE it so far, but it is a lot of work to assemble. It arrived packaged very well in two large, very heavy boxes, strapped to a pallet. There are a ton of parts to it. We removed everything in our garage and did the initial assembly there. We moved all the main pieces close the the final location and assembled from there. It can be a little difficult with two people (instructions recommend 3) but we made it work. I would recommend watching the YouTube video before starting, it made a few things easier than the printed instructions. We would watch every section on the video right before starting that section's assembly. We ran into a problem due to our not paying better attention. We had one of the trusses backwards and didn't notice until we had all roof panels on and were installing the front gable. We had to remove a few of the panels, remove the truss and install it in the correct orientation. So pay attention, there is a front and back to the trusses. We did have to use a few shims to level out the doors but that was easy. We got everything completed on Sunday afternoon. That night we had an unforecast windstorm (40+ MPH) and had not anchored the shed to the foundation yet. I scrambled to find some lag screws and anchored the corners, but up to that point it had withstood the wind just fine. I will be completing the proper anchoring this week. I would advise having those parts (not included) on hand prior to assembly and complete that step at the same time. Overall extremely happy with the shed, hopefully it will withstand our winters and the snow we expect. Also see my review of the Lifetime Steel Foundation for this shed.
