The video and manual TOGETHER really helpful

I love this shed! We used 4x4 and gravel rocks for the foundation. When putting together, I recommend using both Manuel and you tube instructions Veru helpful. Make sure you have all hardware bags first before putting together . ******important****Verify letters on bags to correspond with panels .. can get confusing at times. Happy building !

Great shed with deal of a price!

What an awesome shed. But the two boxes were massively heavy. Walking them upright like a domino worked to get them to the backyard without carrying them. The directions were well written and although I did not need it, there is a QR code to watch a YouTube video showing exactly what is to be done. The metal parts are not marked so paying attention to the drawing of the part is critical to get the right one in the right orientation. The plastic bags of parts and plastic parts are clearly marked and easy to get the right ones. I followed the book EXACTLY, and didn't skip steps and everything went fine. I recommend using a socket ratchet whenever you can instead of just normal wrenches. If using a drill driver make sure the clutch is set to a lower torque and then finish it off with a screwdriver. I did 90% of the assembly by myself even though it recommends 3 people. I spent about 3-4 hours the first day getting the trusses, walls, and doors prepped. The second day was about 8-9 hours. I did have help with holding the roof panels in place and shifting the supports so things line up so I could put in the screws. The fat screws were not going in fully so I pre-drilled a small hole so the tip of the screw would fully tighten down. When doing this extra care is needed to only drill through the inner panel and not through the exterior panel since they are clam-shelled together. Only a few goofs. oops. Giving the option of where you want to place the window was perfect. The back wall shelf really helps to make the structure more sturdy since it ties 3 of the walls together square. There are plenty of places to put extra wall hooks when needed. Lining up the doors went easier than I thought even though it was way off. I had to use 3 of the 4 provided shims. About a week later I got the lag anchor screws and fender washers to secure the shed to the wood 8x10 deck and it took less than 10-15 minutes. Needless to say I was exhausted after this build, including the week before when I built the wood deck itself. My yard starts to slope a lot so I needed to build it to be a level support. It was nice putting my mower in my new shed instead of getting it down in the basement for the winter.

Sturdy, attractive and affordable

My husband and I were able to put this together in a day’s work. The directions were easy to follow and the building and floor seem sturdy and well put together. We looked at several options available to us and chose this one because of the material, cost and looks. We are happy with it and would recommend it!

Impressive yard shed

I have been building home projects for 41 years, and this was the simplest project to assemble. The shed material was impressively tough (walls, doors, roof), with the only drawback being the thin plastic flooring (concern with potential dropping of yard and carpentry tools. Past sheds were made of wood and incurred more financial costs and degraded over time (requiring painting and shingling).

Love it!!!!!

Definitely a project! But completely worth it! 2 or more ppl recommended. It’s spacious. Good height. Affordable. And fits all my yard materials beautiful. Looks great too. Get one while you can. Oh. The package comes in two giant boxes, on a pallet, and on a forklift. Get a truck if you intend to pick it up at the store.

Great Shed for the Price.

It took 2 of us about 8 hours to assemble it fully. I suggest following along with the YouTube assembly video that Lifetime has available for the shed. It is very nice for the price. My concrete slab behind my garage is a little uneven so getting all the panels and the roof to align was extra challenging. But it came together nicely. I like the color it’s a grey/dark grey. You definitely need a good drill for the thousand screws. I’m no pro at assembling things so if I can do it, anyone can.

Just ok

It was ok for the price. It took my husband and I 1 day and 2 afternoons (13 hours) to put this thing together. This is our 2nd time putting something like this together. The last one we got was from Lowe’s and it was a lot more sturdy and easier to put together. This one feels cheaply made but we will see how it holds up. The instructions were straight forward and not overly complicated. Overall I think it should last.

2 Days To Complete

First of all, the directions are HORRIBLE. Referred to a YouTube video for help. LOTS of screws. Parts not lining up, especially the doors. When it was finally completed, I was happy just to be finished. It appears to be sturdy. The price was less than others. Hopefully, it will withstand the weather and last more than a few years

Install service FAIL

Nice shed but installer botched the job. Installer showed up on time. Waited for his assistant that never showed up. He installed by himself in the area I designated, however didn't put the shed where I wanted it - in the corner of the fence. He left over 13" of space behind the shed. He finished, told me I needed to "get some friends to help me move it" and left for another job. I called the company - they refused to move it and refused to refund. Everything they said was NO, NO, NO. DO NOT USE THE INSTALL SERVICE (Go Configure/AIT Worldwide). Reporting to SAMs club.
