Shed is very well made and designed. A little more difficult when you get to the roof which really requires 2 to 3 people. Really needs to be set on a concrete pad or deck even though it has a floor. Looks great and would highly recommend.

The instructions and video were extremely clear and helpful.

I like that the instructions were divided by chapters and that the parts were individually bagged for that particular chapter. The video certainly cleared up some things while we put it together.

Build

The build was very straight forward. I was able to accomplish it entirely on my own on a Saturday. Great instructions and I’m happy with the quality of the materials used.

Adequate Shed

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!

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.

pretty easy to construct, I recommend watching video too, you need two people for door's and roof. the window putty is messy make sure you line it up in groove. I sprayed it with a hose and noticed it was dry inside. have your drill fully charged. great buy

Assembly

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???

Works for horse hay storage!

we needed a waterproof outdoor storage unit to store horse hay. we buy by the pallet and have it shipped in bulk from Canada so the building had to be pretty sturdy and absolutely no drips or water intrusion. Works great, and because we buy compressed bales we can store about 60 bales inside

Good quality but horrible instructions.

Instructions are useless as socks on a rooster. 2 or 3 steps just stopped right in the middle. I thought pages were missing but they weren't. Had to watch the videos to see what parts to use next. Some important details were missing such as metal support orientation on the Gables. Several parts bags were mislabeled. 2 of the roof panels were slightly different than the other 4 with no explanation in the manual but they all had the same 3 letter identifier. I got it assembled in about 7 hours by myself. I've done several of the backyard discovery outdoor playsets and their Instructions are 10x more clear on assembly. The shed itself is a great product but u might as well throw the Instructions in the burn pile with the boxes and watch the included videos for assembly. Seems durable so far. Roof was a little tricky to line up by myself but theres more than one way to skin a cat.

Great Shed

Bought first of Nov., put together all parts by instructions. Did not use the videos, only the book. Put one the wrong metal bar on one of the gables and when tried to reinsert screws, they all did not tighten up. This could have been avoided if instructions had better pics or descriptions of pieces. Otherwise it is fairly sturdy when completely together. May come back and write another review after use for year in the southeast Houston weather.
