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).

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.

I would not do this again

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

Big Boxes

The install instruction is not very clear for installing the shed. It took me almost a whole day to install by myself. I also liked online pickup, you need to have a van (removed second and third rows seats) or truck to pick it up because two boxes are big (8' long x 3' wide x 1' high).

Perfect Size!

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.

Lifetime? shed

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.

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.

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 !

Happy we purchased

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.
