Worth every penny.

High quality shed. Absolutely perfect for our kid's toys and bikes. No more scratches on Mom and Dad's cars! I have about 8 hours into the shed build itself. Instructions must have been updated at some point as many reviews state they are confusing and unclear, however I found it very straight forward. The only area that I struggled was physically putting the last roof panel on, that's a true test of sitting on a level/square base. I used cement pavers for a base.

DO NOT BUY! GARBAGE

Garbage! Bought this 9-11-23 and contractor tried to install on 9-12. The shed was warped so the roof did not go on correctly. The 2 back panels are totally out of shape and did not go together. There is a big gap due to this so this shed is worthless. I reached out to their customer service and they want to know who installed this ? I had a licensed and insured contractor put this together. This site dies not allow me to add photos. DO NOT BUY!

It worth the work

It took me about 8 hrs to completely assemble this shed. But it's worth every single minute I have read several reviews about this product. I am surprised by the number of negative comments, they are not fair. Many of these are because they simply don't read and/or follow the instructions. Yes, it's true, it took me over 8 hours to fully assemble this shed. But it's worth every minute I spent working on it. If you don't follow the instructions, it will be a nightmare. Fortunately, I'm used to reading and following the instruction manual before I start putting any project together. By doing so, I avoid making big mistakes. For example, in the event that the doors did not align correctly (which happened to me), there is a solution right there and I was able to correct the difference. I am very happy with this shed. I recommend it without any hesitation. The only problem I faced was with the side window. In the instruction manual it is not considered until, practically, at the end of the process. The location of the window and the arch of the ceiling prevents the acrylic from being placed correctly. This step should be included when mounting the storage shed walls. Having resolved this situation, I have no objection to this product. It is highly recommended.

Might want to keep looking, learn from my mistake

Might have reconsidered if i knew this. I have had the shed one month and one of the panels has little circles coming through (it's weird looking). I don’t want to take it down because it was difficult for me to put it up! Sam’s said call lifetime because they can’t help me, and lifetime said they would give me 10 percent of another one of their products… Are you kidding me!!! I will never buy one of their products again. Totally disappointed!

Excellent shed. Worth the money.

I purchased this storage shed to get all of my lawn equipment out of my garage. This shed is large enough to fit my riding mower with pull behind cart, push mower, garden tiller, weed eater, 8 foot stepladder, 100’ hose with cart, pressure washer, fertilizer spreader, shovels and rakes, and a 4’ shelving unit. I built the platform for this shed out of wood, and the cost was around $200. The assembly instructions are excellent. The instructions suggest 3 people are needed for assembly, but I was able to complete it by myself in about 2 days, including constructing the platform. I placed my shed in a corner area of my house, and it fits and looks great there. Keep in mind that in addition to the floor dimensions, the roof extends out about another 2” on each side. It can be a little difficult to get some of the roof panels to line up properly, but with a little patience it should go together properly.

BUYER BEWARE!!!

This is a HORRIBLE shed! The back section didn’t fit or line up and the gaps were so bad that caulk wouldn’t have stopped the leaks. We ended up putting a couple roofing shingles over the gaps to avoid any leaks. There’s a huge piece that is gone like a defective part in the production of the panel. Almost every panel was warped! I DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING THIS!!! I will never purchase another product from this company again and I’m surprised that Sam’s Club continues to sell it!!!! Absolute JUNK!! We used a tube of caulk to fill the gaps from the warping. Fingers crossed it doesn't leak but we will probably have ongoing issues from such a poorly made product.

Outdoor Shef

I purchased this shed yesterday..There are just too many screws/bolts. I've had 2 sheds installed in the past. A Tin Shed and a Tuff Shed..Tuff shed was much bigger than this and had less screws/bolts. The instructions were not clear. The installer watched the video, but the window was somewhat Confusing. I called the help desk x2..the guy referred me back to the video. The 2nd time the lady was very informative..They were both patient and had great customer service skills..overall nice shed but needs clearer installation instructions without having to watch a video over and over again ..I recommend a professional for installing unless you are experienced with the different codes.

Good shed, but very time consuming to assemble.

I assembled this shed last weekend. It took 2 of us 7 hours or 14 total hours to assemble. I am very mechanically inclined and have all of the necessary tools. We spent 50% of the time trying to understand the directions and 10% more time re-doing stuff because we had to guess on steps because of lack of clarity in the directions. The parts, roof and walls did not line up very easy and a fair amount of time was spent on this part to get the holes aligned for the screws. It rained very hard last night for hours and the shed does not have a drop of water in it. I like that it is a lifetime product and no maintenance, but the assembly was a bear and I can see people who are not mechanically inclined have issues. I would give this a 8 out of 10 for difficulty. Plus you need a foundation and that took another 6 hours for the 2 of us.

Sturdy shed

Seems study and well made. Two people required for assembly,one outside of walls to push in against person inside inserting screws. I only gave four stars because floor panels met in the middle of joint but bowed out about 1/8th in.to 1/4 in. on each end.

Great shed!

This shed is terrific! It was pretty easy to build just by following the instruction manual carefully (look at the illustrations closely so you get all the correct hardware and have pieces turned in the correct direction). Best to have two people, so 1 can hold things together while the other one attaches pieces. Can be built in one day. Held up well through a big summer thunderstorm, stayed dry inside. Definitely recommend this shed!
