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 to build but watch the video

The build went fairly smooth but the video was a huge help. The shed is well designed and one person can build it in a couple of days. Ground prep is important and a level surface as the panels being slid in requires it. Overall very happy with the shed and it is very sturdy,

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.

Great shed for the price

Wish the instructions were more clear on the small details.Was fairly easy to put together using both the instructions and the video. Some things aren't very clear on either so this delays the process but once you get past putting all the parts together the actual assembly goes really quick. It was way more work making the base for this shed!

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.

Somewhat Flimsy | Don't use with Extreme Weather Kit (Voids Warranty)

I both this shed and assembled it easily enough. No issues getting everything to fit other than some minor alignment issues common to prefabricated mass-produced items of this nature that were easily correctable. My main issue with this shed is that I installed it on a day that ended with 40mph winds in high heat (102º F). The combination was enough to bow the side walls within a few hours. Since the side walls only have thin metal strips every few feet that don't connect to anything structural, the shed has nothing to help it stay rigid against sustained winds. The load of the roof and trusses sitting on the plastic causes the side walls to bow a bit under the pressure. Since I'd also ordered the extreme weather kit (stated to be compatible with "most Lifetime 8 ft. wide sheds" except the "10 ft. x 8 ft. or 15 ft. x 8 ft. Garden Buildings"), we decided to start adding that to the shed kit. The roof truss additions all went on without any issue. Where we started running into issues were with the truss support channels on the side walls. By the time we got to the front doors, it was clear the extreme weather kit wasn't intended for this model of shed. At that point I'd installed over ½ of the kit. I contacted support and they informed me the extreme weather kit DOES NOT work with this shed and will void the shed's warranty if used. I'm very disappointed with Lifetime for making a shed that was not adequately supported to begin with, then promoting the use of the extreme weather kit in wording that doesn't clearly identify which models aren't compatible and failing to say anything about voiding the warranty if used on one of those sheds.

Decent short term, inexpensive solution

Video and printed directions don’t match. Holes didn’t always match up. Pieces warped while laying in the yard trying to put it together. Definitely need 3 people to put it together correctly. Didn’t finish doors yet, but they definitely need work to close properly. Window is a huge pain to install. It feels like you are going to break it. Overall, It’s a pain to put together. Pay for assembly if you can.

Buying and Registering the Product

When we visited Sam's, went inside to talk about the sample shed sitting out in front. Dominique at Member Services in Lady Lake was kind enough to help us with the setting up and purchasing the product. We are now setting it up and so far, so good. The process has been relatively easy from starting the purchase, registering it and now hopefully getting it set up. Would have been great to have someone set it up for us.

Nice Little Shed

We bought this shed to try and clear up some space in the garage. I decided to build a wood platform on top of rock for the foundation. The shed was packaged well in 2 boxes which I brought home in my truck. I would highly recommend that you do everything possible prior to putting up the walls. Construct the gables, doors, etc. That will save you time when you go to build the shed outside. I found everything to work as indicated with the shed. Recommend using the YouTube video along with the manual. Also, there are short videos that deal with specific issues. I used one when we ran into a little trouble installing the roof. Overall, the process went pretty smoothly. You may need someone to help push the walls or roof panels to get the screw holes to line up. As others have said, get the shed as level as possible to avoid issues. Just had the first decent rain since putting the shed together..........all is well. No water inside. Impressed with my first Lifetime purchase.

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.
