Shed assembly instructions are great

The instructions for assembling this shed are extremely good and we're very pleased with the outcome. It is well designed and the assembled shed looks really nice. The solid floor makes it so much better than a floorless shed, and leveling the doors was easily done with the provided shims. Plus this is made in the USA!

Outdoor shed

The plastic gets very soft and stretch when in the sun so when delivered it’s hot and soft makes installing difficult and there isn’t enough holes in the front for the bolts had to drill more holes to fasten the door. Takes four people to install. If it wad not for the amount of pieces and the price I had paid to get it installed I would have sent it back to the store

Somewhat Easy Install

I perchased this while on sale for 699.00. It was a good buy compared to others. If it is wasn't on sale I wouldn't have puchased it. The Install was easy, but they could have labeled the pieces with sticky's. I had a hard time defining which panels went in the corner. Two issues I had was after sliding the bottom of the corner panels into the floor slots it was pain to snap the other in into the flooring. I also recommend bolting the floor down in two places before your start. The other problem I had was alignment with the doors. After the first day I installed the first section of the roof and stopped to complete the job tomorrow. At that point my doors were aligned perfectly. Next day I installed the remained two sections of the roof and now the right door is off by 3/4" and left door is off. I had to shim the right door for both doors to adjust properly. I might go back and loosen all the roof screws and see if it falls back in line. You will need the video and instructions for this install. There is some vaqueness in both instructions. However, you can get this done using both at the same time. I gave it three stars for personal reason that I have a flat leveled deck but I still had to shim the door and I do not like the way that looks. But I am not taking it back and it fits the corner yard perfectly. Also, it is 8' wide and 7.5' deep. I couldn't find that info anywhere. Can't say how it would hold up in high wind, but I bolted it all down on the floor.

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.

The shed is great. The shipping was TERRIBLE

The shed is great. The shipping was TERRIBLE. BUT, several sections of the manual are missing from step 3 and step 7. Call the support number to have them email you the corrected manual. They are very responsive. The local store manager said they had four in stock, so I ordered for delivery. When I initially ordered, it said Delivery by May 3. I then received a text saying it was shipping and would arrive May 9th. The day before it was to arrive, it said shipping had changed and it would arrive May 10th between 4:00 and 8:00, so I canceled my travel plans so I would be here when it arrived. I made at least four calls throughout the day to get a better ideal of the ETA, and each time was told I would be called back. I never received a return call. I spoke with the last person on May 10th around 8:45 at night, and was told the delivery guy would be here within the hour I told him that would not work because it was already dark out and I would have to unpack all 400lb. of merchandise to move it to my back yard, and I’d be here until midnight. He assured me I would hear from someone the next day - Saturday - or Sunday at the latest and it would be delivered over the weekend. I heard from no one. I finally got reached someone on Sunday on their toll-free line and was told they didn’t deliver on weekends, but it would be delivered first thing Monday. When I called Monday, I was told someone would check and return my call. I never received a call, so I called back and was told they don’t deliver in my area Monday, so it would arrive Tuesday. I received a text saying it would be here between 4:00 and 8:00 Tuesday. I called to say I couldn’t take the chance of a late delivery again because I couldn’t change my travel plans again, so I received another text saying the delivery time had been changed to between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.. I called several times throughout the day to get a more accurate ETA, and again my calls were never returned. The package was finally delivered around 7:30 Tuesday, May 14th, just as the storms moved into the area, so I ended up covering the two 200+lb boxes with tarps and building the shed the next day in the rain. The shed is very nice. The delivery experience was terrible.

Horrible assembly

I have a 7'x7' Craftsman plastic shed bought years ago for Halloween decoration storage (we go big every year). I needed something just a little larger to go next to it for Christmas decoration storage (we go even bigger every year). The Craftsman, while not a total breeze, WAS a total breeze compared to this Lifetime shed. Same wood foundation built as before, almost the same size shed, the difference is one brand was far & away easier to assemble. I'm writing this review, on day 2, as I take a break because I'm almost done but can't get the triangular roof pieces to align properly. This was a difficult build throughout, and while I don't assemble sheds for a living, this is not my 1st time. A very regrettable purchase...if only I had a time machine, I'd never have bought it.

Poor Shed

So for an outdoor shed you would think that it could with stand 100 degree heat but thats not the case as we were outside building the shed we noticed the walls start to bend which made it almost impossible to clamp to the base of the shed roof holes were then off track which made it impossible for everything to go into place so overall terrible buy.

Very nice looking serviceable shed

At first the packaging was confusing but after watching the videos and sorting all parts and pieces it was easy. Assembly must be followed step by step! I completed assembly in 7hrs and only need help with the roof. It comes with a rubber semi-solid floor. The shed can be moved/slid around after assembly. I did not use a foundation as the ground was flat and does not accumilate water. All parts were in the boxes. Overall I do reccomend this shed. It is important to have holes perfectly aliened before screwing. Hope this helps others in your decision to buy.

its ok

Shed itself is ok. Took 3 of us approx. 10 hrs to complete. Instruction manual at times difficult to read. walls hard to install as they dont snap in as easy they say. If you are not 100% square screw holes do not line up and are VERY hard to get lined up

Nice storage shed

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.
