Customer reviews for Lifetime 15' x 8' Dual Entry Outdoor Storage Shed, Gray forBig and Beautiful
This is our 3rd Lifetime product. We needed a bigger shed and went with this dual-entry 15x8. Assembly was somewhat troublesome as the instructions are not clear but we watch a few YouTube videos and everything went smooth after that. The shed is nice and big and the skylights let a lot of sunlight in, so I'm thankful they run the length of the shed. Only gripe is the floor as the tabs to connect to them are not long enough to hold them in place, so one wrong move and you're on the floor trying to connect them again. Overall, shed is amazing!
Nice shed
Purchased this on-line earlier this month and it arrived stacked on an extra long pallet, wrapped and with no damage. Was shocked to see the lable indicated shed color as "light brown". I panicked because I thought I ordered the gray one with black roof (as shown on line). The color is taupe with a dark gray roof, doors and shutters. From a distance it appears to be a light gray with a dark gray roof, doors and shutter. It took three guys a full day to put it up using the on-line installation video along with the manual. Please note we had a 16' x 9' cement pad poured to help with stability since it was resin. Overall I would say we are very pleased with the purchase. Only downside for us is that I see they are offering a $400.00 discount now right after we purchased it. So if you are on the fence, jump on it now especially with the current discount!!!
Holds up to weather!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 15x8 shed is about perfect for the space I have. I didn’t realize until I had it together how much more I enjoyed having 2 entrances. It’s got enough room for a couple kids sized atv’s, our bicycles, lawnmower, ladders, fire pit, and garden tools. Some building advice; when you get your delivery of the 3 boxes stacked together, take the top one's lid off and grab the instructions right away and sit down and read them through. Plan to take 15-25 hours for reading, sorting, and assembly with at least 2 people for some parts of the walls and all of the roof parts. Having a level pad is a must as you need the screw holes to always line up to ensure a water tight fit and uniform fit for all pieces. The directions are very detailed and it’s wise to follow them exactly; only a few things seemed off and that was a corner piece, one of the half walls, and missing screw holes on the floors. Do not over tighten any of the screws on any piece or you will strip the screw or plastic! Predrilling was only required on the doors and a couple other pieces; if you’re wondering there isn’t really any extra hardware for mistakes. The tools you will need include a 3/8 socket, 7/16 socket, number 2 & 3 magnetic philips head bit, a right angle philips head, a rubber mallet, adjustable torque drill, manual screwdriver for final tightening, and a ladder or tall step stool. Do yourself a favor and if you order a particular model download the online manual and study it; it will make it a breeze putting it together when you’re familiar with the parts beforehand. Presorting the parts can make putting it up a lot quicker, but the pieces and the boxes they come in are mostly organized and marked already. The doors and upper wall fascia with vents are assembled separately, the metal trusses are another step. When it comes time to start building you’ll lay the floor together, start sliding in walls and corners, placing trusses and doors, upper fascia walls, roof panels, and finally the sunlight roof pieces. Shelves and hook parts will be the final step to your preference. All in all I’m very happy with it for the intended purpose of keeping outdoor equipment out of the elements. Without being anchored to the concrete it has already been through a few Oklahoma rain and wind storms with no damage or leaks.

outdoor shed
Mostly good, but floor is not as substantial as previous sheds. Lifetime needs to employ lego employees to write their instructions, as they are confusing & incomplete

Great shed - awful directions
The directions were very confusing. Assembly would be cut in half if parts and assembly would have been more clear
End door is not interchangeable!

Don't buy
I got this shed a few year's ago and thought it would help with extra storage stress. And save us some money so we wouldn't need to get a monthly storage. I WAS WRONG. I was excited. We even had new cement put in just for that. It ended up being a Disaster. * 1st. They said it would be better to have their person put it together.($500 extra). He broke some of our bricks that we were going to use for a cinder block wall & put them under the corners to level.(Which I didn't notice till a week later.) * 2nd The BOLTS started FALLING OUT from the top. I don't think they fit properly. It's uneven so it's hard to open & close. (Totally crooked) * 3rd It Started LEAKING and I had to put a tarp over it to make sure nothing got wet.(which looks awful.) Now there is water coming in when it rains from the bottom somewhere. It's NOT WORTH the HASSLE & EXTRA MONEY.

Outdoor Storage Shed
Missing Parts and Terrible Instructions !!!
Don’t spend your money.
Save your money, they are great at first but trust me, after a couple of years the roof panels start coming off because to much sun breaks the plastic that hold it together. Not good option at all.

Stay away!!
I purchased this same shed about 8 years ago, it started falling apart after about 1.5 years. Screws pop out, the doors don't close straight. I contacted lifetime and they wanted me to change panels. I never did anything because its a huge pain to put together, didn't want to un-do it. In my opinion, it's a huge piece of junk..... I'll never purchase another Lifetime shed nor recommend it.
