- 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase11/29/2023I purchased this for an Airbnb which needed bike storage. It’s awesome. Assembly was very easy. Great product.
Great shed!
Claudia - 5 out of 5 stars review7/10/2023This is a great shed at a very affordable price. Instructions are pretty easy to understand , it took me about 1 .5 hours to assemble by myself. The only part that you would need somone to help is at the beginning when you are assembling the walls to the base to prevent them from collapsing while you secure them together. It is very important to make sure the base is level to have everything align properly. i made the base out of plywood and 2X4s . I have this shed from suncast and the similar one from lifetime and the lifetime is much sturdier but it takes longer to assemble as well. The only reason i bought this one over the lifetime is because it was available at my local Sams club without having to pay for shipping. Overall its a grea...
Great mid grade storage shed
Marc - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase8/13/2024Our extra large garbage and recycle cans fit perfect
Great
Rose - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase12/27/2023Perfect for pool items and seasonal storage
Great seasonal storage solution
roseofsharon - 5 out of 5 stars review6/22/2026Definitely a great investment for outdoor storage! We bought two of them. We had to make sure the ground was level when putting together otherwise it could throw off the alignment. Love it!
Great Investment for outdoor storage!
Laura - 5 out of 5 stars review6/3/2023Absolutely perfect size and simple enough to put together (for my husband). Fit about 15 folding chairs, 3 folding tables and 2 decent size ice chests. It's just what we needed for storing those items and getting them out of the garage.
Love this!!
Kris - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase6/19/2024Another great piece, very sturdy, roomy, and the price was very reasonable. It was fairly simple to assemble. We really appreciate the hydraulic hinges so the lid stays up for easy access to items. It has a foot latch to help hold the doors secured.
Great price for the quality
TraceyGBell - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase10/5/2023Easy to assemble. Sturdy, strong and looks good. Great features such as a ramp to roll in the garbage bins and a hydraulic that keeps the lid open when you’re filling the cans
Strong, sturdy and great features

Brenda - 4 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase11/29/2024We bought this to store our bikes outside so they aren’t taking up valuable space in the garage. Overall it met our needs. The built quality is solid, but the assembly instructions could use some improvement, especially the diagrams. I would also recommend organizing and labeling the hardware better. But after a couple of hours, we got it built and are happy with the results.
Quality shed, but instructions need improvement
Chris - 3 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase4/13/2026Although the product looks presentable and will do the job of securing the trash cans, the assembly is horrible. The instructions are not provided. The instructions provided for the product did not match what was purchased . It is extremely hard to put this together and nothing aligns when it comes to provided parts. If you complete one side and use all the screws that you need to use, the other side is completely off and you cannot align it . I am very disappointed with this product and with Walmart and I will not be purchasing anything similar anytime soon.jelenaOriginally posted onwalmart.comSuncastSupportThank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear about the issues you encountered during assembly and with the pro...
- 3 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase7/21/2024Box and contents came in good shape. Went together pretty well but the assembly instructions could have been a little more clear. Yes it will take at least 2 people to put this together
good storage shed lots of room
Doug C - 2 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase3/11/2024This is my second shed install, this one seemed a little more complicated and a second person makes it much easier. Items inside stay dry. Unfortunately the gas struts only supported the for the first day, now the lid closes before you can even open the lower door. Big disappointment for a shed in this price bracket.
Gas struts do NOT support lid
Amy - 2 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase11/27/2023Looks good wasn’t too bad to assemble. However the gas shocks are not strong enough to lift the lid. A lot of the competition has three shocks on the lid and some of the older versions did too. This is a problem for me.
Trash Can Shed
Mike - 2 out of 5 stars review2/17/2024I placed this on a partially shaded concrete slab last spring. After 45 days of 100 + degree temps, the shed door began to buckle and warp causing the door hinges to detach from walls and lid latch. The soft close lid has also fails to stay open making entry into the rear section very difficult. Will be replacing with a metal shed.
Couldn't Take the Heat
Jim - 2 out of 5 stars review8/16/2024It's a plastic box that will keep rain off your stuff, assuming you can ever get it together. The machining on the metal parts is poor, so screws don't fit quite right. Not a big deal, since they're self- tapping, right? Well, if you don't get the angle of the screw exact, it will strip going in to metal. The threading on the bolts is soft, so if you get a nut cross-threaded, it's going to mangle, meaning if you have to do any reversing, you'll have to buy a new bolt. You will end up reversing, too. The English directions were written by an engineer who, I'm assuming, doesn't speak English as a first language. The diagrams do an excellent job of showing which way to turn screws, but where pieces attach is an exercise in guesswork, particula...
Fine product, awful support and hardware
Mark - 2 out of 5 stars review1/8/2025Its nothing more than a cheap box made of plastic to look good. It does not function very well. If it gets cold outside the top will not stay up. When it gets really cold the hinges on the doors actually pop off if you try to open it. Leaving you with a half open plastic box for everyone to see inside of. The aggervation of this is not worth the price.
Just don't
Localgirl - 1 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase9/17/2023On 2nd day, the top right hinge popped off from side panel. The way it is designed is like a c-clamp. Will have to unload some boxes to see if the tension can be adjusted to hold more securely.
Durability??
KC - 1 out of 5 stars review12/6/2024Friend of mine bought this last year and during the summer's hot weather every wall & the lid got badly deformed (warped); For the ugliness of this plastic and its high price, you just add the horrible durability factor and it is not worth not buying but not worth having (even if it is free). From what I saw, this is a 100% AVOID !
Bad quality plastic -doesn't withstand summer heat
