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

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 🥺

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.

Beautiful Shed!

I’m really impressed with the design and details on this shed. It took us a while to set it up (there’s a great video on YouTube provided by Lifetime). Very pleased with the final product. And happy and proud to buy a quality item Made In America! 🇺🇸

Shed

Takes a while to put together. You should have 3 people although it can be with 2. Instructions are pretty easy to follow. It helps if you assemble this thing on a very flat surface so the holes all line up. Had a huge downpour last night and no leaks. I like it so far.

Great product, poor instructions

A great shed, after figuring out that the parts bags were mislabeled and ID'ing the parts by contennts it was rather easy to continue. The other issue was that several steps were missing in the printed manual. Viewing the online instructions allowed us to figure out what was missing.

Very difficult to assemble

Took two full days to assemble with an experienced DIY male. After building a level platform when assembling as instructed after roof installation doors seemed uneven. Then used shims provided and it seems good now. Will see how it weathers through summer storms!

Very Good Shed

This is a great shed. It did require two of us to put together and several hours, but once it was together, it has worked out amazingly. It appears to be water tight and just what I needed for a small barn for some of my smaller animals. You definitely have to have a LEVEL FLAT surface to assemble it on or it will be next to impossible to get it together correctly. Overall, this has been a great purchase at a great price.

Great Shed; Read Assembly Instructions Carefully!

This shed itself is great and my husband and I were able to assemble it fairly easily. The biggest issue is that after following all of the instructions for the wood platform to a “T”, when it came time to fasten the shed to the platform, none of designated fasten locations aligned with the 2x4 frame we constructed. We had to improvise and used auger-style ground anchors to secure it. There was no way to lift the entire shed up to use carriage bolts and nuts as the instructions suggested! 😆

Great space

I bought this shed because it looks good quality. Hopefully it last. The price was right. Assembling took me 2 days. First I did did all by myself watching the video, which shows the assembling easy steps to follow, but I guess the one he assemble the parts were all perfect because the walls were difficult to attach to the floor. The second day I had a person helping me.
