Bought this shed a couple of weeks ago. Not sure why the reviews say so much negative about the instructions. They were very straight forward and simple for me. Had this built in about 6 hours from platform to finish with help from my son. Had very minor issues with a few things lining up but was able to easily correct. I did forgo using hand tools as it recommended and used power tools on all the screws and such which definitely sped things up. Would have given it 5 stars but I feel like the floor quality is a little cheap and thin for the cost, but I guess with it being built on a platform they didnt want to make it heavier.

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.

I purchased this shed yesterday..There are just too many screws/bolts. I've had 2 sheds installed in the past. A Tin Shed and a Tuff Shed..Tuff shed was much bigger than this and had less screws/bolts. The instructions were not clear. The installer watched the video, but the window was somewhat Confusing. I called the help desk x2..the guy referred me back to the video. The 2nd time the lady was very informative..They were both patient and had great customer service skills..overall nice shed but needs clearer installation instructions without having to watch a video over and over again ..I recommend a professional for installing unless you are experienced with the different codes.

I and my friend tried to put it together spending numerous hours. The manual is not well written. Then the video was made giving the impression it can be put together quickly. Videos are misleading when parts do not fit together. Parts are not marked well. We used the process of elimination, and tape measures to identify the parts for the next job. The final stage of the assembly is when we are trying to put together the topmost part of the roof (Roof-ridges and the sky-light windows on the roof). The roof ridges just will not fit together for us to screw in. From the side view of the roof, it is obvious that the roof ridges do not fit together. We spent 5 hours to figure out if there is a way for us to figure out to fit the roof ridges together. Then gave up as rain came in, flooding the inside. Called customer service. It said the right department will call you back. It is over three days, and no one called us back. Emailed customer service two days back. Still no response to our email to help. What a mess!!!

Excellent Product

I give the shed a 5 star for ease of putting together and how it came together and looks. It feels sturdy inside, installed on July3rd, 2023. I watched the installation video before I started, but would like to see the metals items also numbered and mentioned by number on the respective pages and if marked up and down for installation. I have also installed the anchor wire 1/8 inch, through both the roof truss and will anchor them into the ground. You have to prepare the ground first, watch the installation video and then plan the install, once completed you should also put in the 6 anchor screws in the floor of the shed, then the shed will be perfect. The floor, walls and doors two can put together, the roof you will need a third person. It took approximately 6 hours to put together completely.

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!!!

Very happily surprised on easy it went together. Only downside is the right hand door does not close all the way. It seems as though the top corner is wrapped and bows out so it does not close tight. Can this is replaced??? How do I go about getting a new door???

Shed is made of moderate quality. Engineering isn’t terrible, but parts are cheaply made and will not likely stand up to frequent use. Of particular note, the main screws used to construct the shed are only gripping “skin deep” and will likely pull out/break over time. Additionally the “supports” for the walls to prevent flexing/built in shelf brackets are also very cheap quality. If all were the same and the manufacturer could just beef those supports for the walls up a bit, it would move this into a slightly higher category shed in my opinion. If you want a basic shed to keep things out of the rain and sun, then it’s likely functional. I live in a hurricane prone area. This thing is gonna won’t likely survive unless serious modifications are put in place. Hopefully it won’t, but time will tell tell. Positives are that is seems like plastic is durable, roomy inside and large enough to fit a rider mower inside. Assembly time was about 6 hours with myself and 15 year old son. Manual could definitely use some edits and please label ALL the parts with part codes with a sticker or stamp.

What a great little shed! If you are seeking a great little shed, this one is for you. My husband and I tested our relationship by choosing to install it ourselves. And, to my surprise, it was easy! The parts were in great shape and numbered. The instructional video was very helpful and accurate. We chose not to anchor it to our concrete slab, yet it survived 70mph winds and torrential rain this morning. Everything inside was dry and clean. YAY! It is without hesitation that I highly recommend the Lifetime 8’X7.5’ Outdoor Shed. Thank you and keep making quality products.
