Lifetime 10' x 8' Outdoor Storage Shed, Gray

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starting from the delivery, it was a very easy process. The delivery driver got the pallet as close to the set-up spot as he could, and was very courteous. Directions were in multiple languages, and were very clear. There are a lot of parts, but all have their place in making this shed a very stable build. My wife and I put this shed together in about 4.5 hours. It may have taken less time with two tall males, but we made do and it worked out! Some of the parts took some maneuvering to get together, but that's expected from a poly-shed versus one you build from wood. The skylights and windows allow in plenty of light so you can see what you're doing inside the shed. There are vents on both gables to allow for a lot of air flow! We enjoy the design and colors of this shed. It will be used for many years to come!
