Good product, not so good setup.

The product itself is great and seems durable. It’s good for simple outdoor storage when you have limited space and options. The setup instructions, however are confusing and the parts are not clearly labeled. There’s a lot of guessing. I highly recommend using the YouTube videos for a visual so you know what you’re doing, but even that should be treated with causation because there are variations in the newer product that don’t match the video.

So happy we bought this shed

We bought this in May when it was on sale, then it got too hot to put it together. We are senior citizens so hired someone to put it together this week. Took him about 1 day to put it together- after he built the platform to put it on. We were able to move items from 2 sheds into this one. We love it, still have room for more items to go in it and it looks great!

Great shed

Love the shed! Printed instructions are not done well, have put together many things over the years and this one didn't flow well. We started to use the YouTube video which was better but when it gets to walls I wish it would had let us know you could add window on right side, we followed video putting window on left side.

Bad flooring

Bought this and the box sat, but when trying to snap the floor together it was very very difficult to get it to snap together. The floor is the most cheaply made part of the shed. Some of it was warped making it almost impossible to get it together. Currently we have the walls sitting on it to try and flatten it out. The directions were difficult to decipher so we had to resort to YouTube.

Solid product

This is a quality product. It took one day to assemble the shed, not including building the base the day before. Didnt realize we had to build a platform, thought we could place it on base of gravel and sand but that wasn’t the recommendation. Still an overall an easy assemble. As a 67 year-old woman I put on a couple of the roof panels by myself while waiting for my son to come back to help. That should give you an idea of how easy the instructions are annd the video instructions were top notch. Holes all lined up which also says something about the qualityz

Good shed

A little challenging to align in some parts, and there are holes that are open near the top portions of the walls where the roof connects to the gable. All the effort to screen the gable vents but nothing to fill the open holes or floor holes is weird to me.

Perfect Size

I just bought this and had my wife help me put it together and we’re still married so it wasn’t that bad if you follow the written instructions and copy the QR code that links you to you tube because there’s a couple steps on the video that aren’t in the instructions.This was a 3 beer job amd looks really nice.I used it to store 4 full size dirt bikes and 2 little ones.Sorry no pics but I’m glad I got this size.

LifeTime Shed 8.5' x 7.5'

I bought this last year and waited to assemble it because I had to build the foundation first, and wanted it to be of brick (not wood). The LifeTime video was really helpful, but you have to follow along in the manual. The manual is not perfect, like the labeling on the bags is not so well defined as it looks in the manual, but its sufficient with some logic to determine all the pieces appropriately. Also, the assembly video is of an older model shed and not all the parts are identical. Like the shelf inside has flaps that screw in to the walls rather than a separate metal L bracket. But you figure these tnings out as you go. Pay careful attention to the STARTING point of assembling the walls = front right. If you start from any other point, then you end up needing to insert a wall piece and can't slide it toward the already assembled sections. Its a pain, but you can make that work - just start from the right spot and you'll be ok. LOVE the look and feel of the shed - ti was definitely the right one to buy for size, looks and integrity.

floor buckled and warped under the sun

After we did all the assembly of the gables, assembled the doors, and put the metal peices on the wall panels we put the floor together (not as simple as shown on the video) we stopped for a few hours. The floor was in the hot sun and it buckled and warped terribly. We covered it with the box it came in a put several cinder blocks on the cardboard. it kind of straightened out, and we were able to finish the assembly. However the floor still has "waves " in it.

Okay Shed

The shed is a great size to put many things inside. The only problem about the shed is the hardware for the doors. Both sides don't hardly match up to get a lock on both of the doors. You have to fight it to get it on, this you shouldn't have to do. I did call Lifetime they gave me new hardware but it still does it. I have this shed even on a concrete slab, still have the problem. I think it's the doors they both have a bump where the hardware lies to make them not to match up.
