None of the metal parts are labeled. Instructions are a bit vague and just wrong in a couple places. Metal support pieces for the walls couldn’t be put in correctly according to the instructions. They would only fit “upside down”. Clearer instructions and all parts labeled would have sped up the assembly a bunch.

This is the second Lifetime Shed that I install at my place, I have assembled 2 of these in smaller versions so I am not unfamiliar to the task, I would recommend at the very least having a helper if you are planning on putting this together and making sure that your preparation is done right. After getting everything in place, It took pretty much one day for a friend and myself to put it together, it really helps to have 2 wireless screw divers and someone that can follow instructions so make sure you do not jump steps if you want to get it right, we had no issues, but it could be challenging for someone unfamiliar to the task. I was pleasantly surprised of how sturdy the whole shed is, it has a lot of metal reinforcements incrusted to the plastic walls and roof, the shelves are reliable and do not give away once you set them in place. This has been the best yard project I have completed in my yard and I am more than happy with the results, I have already received several comments from friends in a recent reunion I had at my place.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For storage in my backyard, I have been using a small shed the previous owner left behind. The old shed was yellowed from the sun and was falling apart. What I needed was a shed that could fit more than just a lawn mower and a few gas cans. My new Lifetime shed has solved my storage problem and has quadrupled the amount of outdoor storage space I have available. This has allowed me to shift my kayaks and my dirt bike out of my overcrowded garage and into my new shed. One of my favorite features of the shed is how it looks in my yard. The unique design of the shed fits perfectly with my yard. I like the little details like the windows and the extra doors since they are practical but also break the boring mold of a typical backyard shed. Plus, the darker exterior color of my shed is a welcome departure from the yellowing shed I got rid of. I received the shed on a Wednesday afternoon and despite having to wait out a couple wind and rainstorms I had it put together by Saturday. I spent about 15-20 hours putting the shed together mostly by myself. I did recruit my wife and son to assist with the roof install which is much easier with more helpers. The install wasn’t easy but it was manageable. I did find it odd that most plastic pieces had labels with their part numbers but a lot of the metal roof supports didn’t have any labels. This slowed me down a little bit since I took longer making sure I had the correct pieces I needed for a certain step. One of my favorite features of the finished shed is the amount of natural light inside the shed. You can easily see what you are doing inside the shed thanks to the windows plus a skylight that runs the length of the shed. You won’t be fumbling around in the dark due to the amount of natural light inside. In addition, I found it helpful that the two shelves and the 12 hooks that come with the shed can be installed in a couple different variations allowing me to personalize the shed. The dual entry feature of this shed is indeed a game changer. It simplifies getting stuff in and out of the shed. For example, I rolled my dirt bike in one set of doors and simply rolled it out the other set of doors instead of walking it out backwards. The two sets of doors also make cleaning the shed a breeze. During the install the floor got fairly muddy so to clean up I simply opened both doors and pressure washed the floor in no time. Finally, I have been impressed by how well the roof keeps water out of the shed. In its short life, my shed has already weathered several rainstorms and a hailstorm and despite this everything inside has stayed nice and dry. I am looking forward to many more years of the same.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shed was everything I needed. The installation went super smooth! I am by no means a talented person with tools but my wife and I were able to assemble it with ease. There were a few tools that don’t come with but they’re basic things like a hammer, screwdriver, etc. that you’d have in a basic maintenance bag. It did take a fair amount of time but each step was super clear and easy to follow. The nice thing is you could do this over a few days and just grab each step and complete it on your own time and then do finally assembly at the end. My wife has basically no experience putting things together and there were plenty of times she just took over steps and had no issues at all. You should not feel intimidated to do this no matter your skill level. Though from my research on Reddit and other forums their installation contractors are AMAZING. The shed has so many fantastic features! I loved that it came with corner shelves and 2 long shelves. Honestly it made what would typically be dead areas so much more useful. The hooks are also fantastic - and there are so many! Overall though the best feature is the skylight! Even on a cloudy day you’re able to see every nook and corner with ease. Ive spent a lot of time working in sheds and trying to find things and it’s always a headache - the skylight is a game changer. The colors are super classy! I love that the door and the venting is an accent color that matches the roof. Really flowed well with both my brick and lighter tan siding. The external texture has a gorgeous wood grain that makes you have to take a double take that it’s not a wood Overall I am super pleased with this shed. My wife kept saying “you won’t fit all of that in there”. Well my garage is finally empty and I’ve still got plenty of space in the shed. This was a perfect fit for my family!

Purchased this in August 2024, and took a few months to get put together due to some health issues with my family who was assisting. Overall, a very good experience and I look forward to using this for many years to come.

Very nice
