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.

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.

Good Sheds

I bought 2 of these and installed them side by side. Very good design, a bit of hassle to assemble on a hot day when the plastic expands, chose a more mild day. Overall very happy and about half the price for 2 of these to equal the same sqft as the 8x15 which was $2500

Perfect Shed!

I know there are many reviews stating how hard this is to set up. It is not difficult at all. They even have a YouTube video showing every single step. It is very easy. This took 3 of us 3 hours in total to put together. You do need to have a base put down. I built an 8x8 frame with pressure treated 4x4 redwood. and then filled it with gravel. That is a perfect cheap option. You can also pour a concrete pad if preferred. The inside is great! It comes with a shelf and hooks. It has skylights and a window on one side (you can chose where you want the window).

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

it’s nice but be prepared for assembly

Be ready to build the foundation before you start, the instructions are very clear it must be a level foundation, they aren’t lying. Between building the foundation and building the shed, it took me a total of 25 hours but it is perfect and looks great. I highly suggest using the app for step by step instructions. My only complaint is that a lot of this could have been pre assembled.

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.

Easy Assembly for Handy Person

Great little shed. Took 6 hours with breaks to assemble, did it all by myself. I was a little nervous as some people said it took them days with multiple people, but I’m pretty handy so I figured I could do it myself. It was tiring and I had my wife help with one thing for about 30 seconds but it was very simple. Videos were helpful as well.

Verified Purchase

We purchased 2

Love this shed very spacious and strong. Downer is it does take a lot to put together, my advice is to purchase wood or what not for platform as it states it is recommended so we did after purchase. There is a little lip at the top of the doors that does not seal all the way. Overall though we love it and actually purchased another one

Good shed for the cost

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.
