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.

Don’t buy it if you live where it might rain

This shed finally went on sale we paid $699 what a bargain right? compared to the thousand dollar price tag they had a year ago when we almost bought it then! Let me tell you I don’t know where the good reviews come from because this thing is junk. I think the people that are leaving their reviews are ones that haven’t had it out in the rain yet the roof leaks badly and so does the little window on the side wall. The materials are flimsy bad, on a hot day in Sacramento California the walls warp then when it cools down, it does go back to its shape, but the plastic material that it’s made from is so thin and flimsy some spots are see-through when the sun hits it that’s how thin it is on the seems. And the floor is a total joke my step ladder and kickstand from my mountain bike put divots in the floor. I bought this to protect my stuff from the elements. It might as well not have a roof on it. That’s how bad it leaks and yes, it was put together correctly followed all the directions watched all the videos and if you have any idea how to put stuff together. It wasn’t that hard as some people might’ve stated, but I repeat if you’re looking to protect your stuff this isn’t the shed for you. I had a similar shed in the old house about ten years ago don’t remember the brand but it was heavy duty and didn’t leak one drop so I had high hopes for this one, I’d love to return it but that means tearing it down and delivering it 🥺

Exceeded All Expectations

Everything about this shed from beginning to end exceeded our expectations. The packaging was solid and secure. The instruction manual was packed right on top. The parts were well-labeled. The assembly instructions were succinct and clear and matched the excellent assembly video on Youtube. All parts lined up and bolted together easily. Only a couple of operations required an extra hand from another person. The key, I think, to the ease of assembly is in having a flat, level base. If you have that, you shouldn't have any trouble at all. This was an excellent kit project. I look forward to many years of service from this shed.

Great Value

We bought the shed as a chicken coop for our 13 hens. It was an easy set up and has been the perfect coop for our girls. The instructions to put it together were easy to understand and it went together with mostly just my husband doing it by himself

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.

Sturdy & Attractive But…

Much more difficult to put together than the advertising and online video indicated. Just building the correct platform is going to require some planning, materials and know-how. I’m happy with the final product, but I gave up a three day weekend and another day to get this done with my wife and two fathers helping.

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.

Easy Assembly, sturdy, and

Follow the instructions! No, the instructions don't seem logical since you're putting things together in what appears to be an illogical order, but it all comes together. This is definitely a two-person job. An electric drill with a screwdriver bit is a huge time saver, as are sawhorses for assembling the doors and gables. Love that there was a shelf and wall hooks included. The shed is spacious, the doors were easy to align, and it looks good in the yard.

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.

Build a good foundation

Build a good foundation. This is a great shed though. Bought it to store our motorcycles. Took my husband 6 hours by himself to assemble it. As long as you can read and have common sense, anyone can put this together. a 2nd person is helpful for installing the doors and roof
