Assembly was easy
Assembly was easy and did it by myself. Would be better to use at least two people, but I didn’t have that option. Went together rather easily. The walls are a bit tougher to erect, but the instructions are clear on how to make it work. Great product thus far.
Anchor it.
Make sure you anchor it or one good gust of wind and this thing is gonna end up down the road. It a little difficult to put together, but we got it put together and didnt anchor the floor. The first strong wind sent ours into the creek with everything in it. We had quite a bit of heavy stuff in it to. A lawn mower,two ladders, 4 sets of car rims and some misc.

don't waste your time on this
I feel desperate trying to put this together, there are parts that could have already come assembled but didn't, it's illogical, it's really crazy trying to put this storage together, the instructions don't help much, they're confusing and the video helps a little more but it's not as easy as it looks in the video, I hope to put it together in three days after work, I don't recommend it, and I'm missing a piece that goes on the back to put things on it.

We do have several assembly help options available if you run into questions, including; YouTube video tutorials, the BILT app, as well as our customer service department is always a great resource.

NO CASH BACK IF YOUR NOT PRIMARY CARD HOLDER
Would have been nice to know before I purchased this shed being I am a secondary card holder. My son added me to his Sam’s Club account. So when I purchased this via online and he went to pick it up and paid cash, I did not get credited for spending be almost $700 and neither did he. I actually made a trip to Sam’s Club went to the service desk and inquired about why I didn’t have any money coming back towards the purchase. This is when I was informed it’s because I’m the secondary cardholder. If I would have known this, I would have used his card to reserve it online so at least he could have got cash back. Also, two weeks prior I spent almost $600 in groceries once again, not knowing me being a secondary car holder I would receive no cash back. I have made numerous trips to Sam’s Club in the past year And now I’m finding out I get no cash back. Please all your other people who have a secondary card by a member you will not be getting any cash back as I did not. Total spent in May 2025 at Sam’s Club was approximately $1700. Not Happy
We're sorry to hear that you didn't have a good experience. Reach out to Sam's Club directly to see if they can help. They can be reached at 888-746-7726. *DC

Great shed a lot of pieces,
Great shed
Awesome Shed!!
I bought this shed & had it delivered. There were several bad reviews about the shed and even the delivery. I had to write this to tell you that the delivery went off without any problems. The driver was so nice!! It had starting to rain pretty hard & he helped us put it in the garage. My husband built a platform for the deck instead of the concrete pad. It took him 3 or 4 hours to put it together and he had me & my daughter help here and there. He did not think that is was difficult at all, but it is better to have 3 people to help in some situations. It went together well. No Issues! It does have to be on a level surface and I think that some of the people that were complaining about it, did not have it on a level surface. I am quite happy with my purchase!!!
Absolute nightmare. Do not buy!
Nightmare right out of the box. Opened a sealed box to find a substantial number of structural parts missing. Literally the parts to the first step were already missing. The manual is another joke. A professional manual would first and foremost have pages at the beginning dedicated to inventorying and identifying the parts in the box. Not Lifetime, nope...you get a multilingual mess with no break-down of the parts or quantity. A real Easter Egg hunt. Real fun to follow as you have to search and focus for the lines written in English. Don't build it on a weekend, as Lifetime isn't available. Can't wait to see how many prompts I'll have to go thru for help and then I'm sure I can wait 2-4 weeks for this garbage to be sent to me. Fun part is I don't even know all what to ask for since there is no inventory sheet/list! I have no confidence that I won't have to call for more parts to be mailed out later, causing more delay.
Replacement parts are available and can be ordered through our customer service department. You can identify which parts you are needing using the parts identifier pages of the manual. The parts identifier is the removable section of the manual, it should be about halfway through the booklet. Customer service can be reached at 800-225-3865 or by email at customercare@lifetime.com. They would be happy to assist you in identifying the correct parts you are needing. Customer service hours are Monday-Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm (MT). *DC
not worth the time
You would think when spending nearly $1000 on a shed that it would come with instructions. Not only did it not come with instructions, it didn't come with a link, or a QR code to find the correct ones. After searching on the Internet, I found the best closest set of instructions to use however, the problems don't end there. Absolutely none of the assembly parts are marked. We started this project 8 o'clock this morning, and it's already 11 and only the floor has been accomplished. Now I have to sit here and play process of elimination to try to determine what part goes next because not only are they not marks, the viewing of the image doesn't match either. I would much rather like to take this product back but because of accessibility, I am stuck with something I am not happy with. Period. Please do yourself a favor and find a product is much better because they are out there.
Might want to keep looking, learn from my mistake
Might have reconsidered if i knew this. I have had the shed one month and one of the panels has little circles coming through (it's weird looking). I don’t want to take it down because it was difficult for me to put it up! Sam’s said call lifetime because they can’t help me, and lifetime said they would give me 10 percent of another one of their products… Are you kidding me!!! I will never buy one of their products again. Totally disappointed!
We are sorry to hear that you are not happy with the purchase of your new shed. We would appreciate some more detailed feedback so that we can help make this a better experience for you. Please send photos of your product to reviews@lifetime.com so that we can look into this for you. *DC
Great shed, just read the instructions.
This is a great shed. Really well designed and easy to put together. It all lined up perfectly if you follow the instructions. If they don't line up, you have a bad base or you're doing something wrong! Many reviews said this took 2 days to put together. On one afternoon, it too me around 3-4 hours, alone, to complete the floor and walls. On the second afternoon, I spent around 2 hours on the roof with the help of my wife to align the panels. Easy! I already had a good, concrete base so this was an easy install. Follow all the steps, read it through and validate you are using the right parts. It would be helpful if the metal poles could be labelled as well as the panels were but it's fairly easy to work out. I cannot rate the design highly enough and the price was a bargain. Lifetime really did pay attention to detail with this, I appreciate it.
