We purchased Lifetime 8'x7.5' from Sam's Club. I'm 72 and my wife is 71 yrs. old. The 2 of us, from start to finish, put it together in 6 hrs. While watching a couple of You Tube videos, we would follow along with the directions, before we started. Everything went smooth, till we started putting the roof panels on. When trying to line up the panel, so the tit fit into the slot, on the truss was the hard part. I found using a welding vise grip was the ultimate saver. Just align the tit over the truss, put a block of wood on top of the roof panel and use the clamp to press it into place. Just do your homework before you start and you'll be so happy with your new shed.

We looked at the video watched how they placed the screws and bolts made sure we placed them in the same direction which is key to correct installation. As long as you do this you will not have a problem with installing your storage unit. We are more than satisfied. We had very heavy wind and rain and shed is dry and standing strong.

Great building for the money, easy to build it just takes a little time to assemble, check to make sure you have all parts bags and hardware before you start building read the instructions before starting, I built it myself without any help in about 8hrs. Build a 4x4 frame and use treated lumber and plywood for the floor or a concrete pad.

Love my shed!!!! You need to be patient!! We looked at the book’s directions & watched the video more than once & while we assembled. Make sure you prep the area well and take your time. You can’t rush this!! To take your time & do it correctly is so worth it!’

This is a gift to our mother for her 90th birthday. She loves to tend to her flowers, and she needed a place to store her garden supplies and wagon. We hung her nickname on the outside of the shed and plan to hang yellow (her favorite color) wreaths under each front window.

Be prepared to spend a tremendous amount of time assembling. Bags are not marked well, instructions are so so. We had to review both the book AND the video. Also, the model displayed in the store seems to be an older model and is sturdier than what we got, especially the base. I would not buy again.

The instructions were not accurate. The parts numbers on the bags did not match the part numbers in the instructions, making assembly very difficult. We had to view the instructions online, over, and over, and over as the instruction booklet was very difficult to follow. My husband and his brother who is a carpenter put it together and were very frustrated with trying to understand the directions. It took a good 8 hours to assemble. What my husband was most frustrated about, and called customer service for is that there are odd, shaped holes in the floor under the doors, and there is not a way to plug them, He was told to fill them with caulk, but they are too obvious at the bottom of the entry. There are 8 holes to cover that are about 3" x 1" oblong in size.

Not very good , lifetime shed had missing parts in it . Called factory about problem . 2 of the same corner numbers - won’t work 1 corner panel was missing . They said they will sent it up 9 days ago but still have not received it . So my shed is half build waiting for the right piece to come in .

On assembly, parts didn’t line up correctly. Every step was difficult. Most of the shed seems cheaply made with less than steller materials. When finished, the right door did not line up and wouldn't shut. After hours of frustration i went home and watched a you tube video from the manufacturer. It seems this is a common problem and is solved by shimming the floor upon completion. Mine was put together on a level concrete patio and still required a lot of shims on one corner to make the door close. When the company makes a video on how to correct a common issue you know its a built in issue. If it were a cheap plastic shed, i guess it would be at least easier to swallow. This shed, however, was not cheap. Turned out to be a Thousand Dollar pain in my side!

I am reviewing the assembly process only. The shed is too new to say anything about how it will last. But assembly on a level platform outside in 70-80° sunny weather had to deal with corner wall panels that did Not snap in anywhere near as easily as in the video. Paper instructions that are difficult to follow. And a redesigned shelf attachment bracket that will not stay in the wall and a that was too short to fit
