Sturdy outdoor storage shed with compact footprint

A well designed shed. I'm not all that handy, so I was grateful for the very detailed instructions in the manual. I also used the link to the product website to give further tips for assembling. It took 2 novice DIYers the whole of a day to complete. But it was a very hot day so we took several breaks! I wish there were more options for shelves and hooks, I could use a couple more of them.

Great Little Shed!!

The quality of this shed is great, and is easy to install. The instructions were easy to follow, as each piece was clearly spelled out. There are a lot of screws, so I laid out each pouch of screws and just followed the instructions. It is the perfect size I was looking for. The wood grain look on the plastic is really nice. Loved it so much I actually bought 2 of them. I would also recommend having at least 2 people for this project, it also states that in the instructions. It would be much more difficult for 1 person. The price was best at Sam's Club, and it came with 2 shelves, and it was delivered at no charge. The 2 negative things I would point out; the holes don't always line up exactly perfect, you will have to maneuver and work that out yourself. The 1/8 inch drill bit that is provided broke after just 3 holes. You might want to have another one of your own handy.

Nice little garden shed.

It helps to have another person help with assembly but it can be done alone. It also helps to have a level work surface to line up parts. Care needs to be taken with tightening screws into plastic components to avoid stripping, Otherwise, the shed is solid and very convenient.

Assembly instructions

For the most part this product was easy to assemble with a few glitches, the instructions when a door is assembled both doors, sides, backs should be assembled at the same time it would help the process g faster, additionally the self tapping screws did not work well, I had to go out and buy self tapping screws even after having drilled pilot holes. A rechargeable screwdriver is highly recommended.

Pretty good little shed

Great and sturdy shed, but the directions are not as clear as they need to be. They did provide a You Tube link to watch to assist you while putting it together and honestly if I didn't have that link, I wouldn't have figured out the solution to a problem I ran into while putting it together. Also some of the holes for the screws were misaligned in some spots. The box came badly damaged, but thank goodness the contents inside were ok. Once the shed was together it was great and it is sturdy. Really great for the price as well which made up for all the headaches while putting it together.

Fantastic shed, great price, good value.

I was concerned after reading some of the negative reviews, but they did not apply to my shed. It arrived via FedEx in a clean box. It was easy to put together and seems like a very durable product. I am happy with the overall size and space within this shed. The online YouTube videos provide clear guidance on how to put the shed together and I certainly recommend having an assistant or at least one extra person there to help with assembly.

Good value for the investment

I just recently purchased and installed this Lifetime Shed. Initial feedback & thoughts: Pros: - Shipping box contained all parts in good shape. Layout of the small parts made for easy identification. Thoughtful packaging job! - Instructions are tedious to follow (very detailed) but exactly what I thought was necessary to build the shed successfully, in a timely manner. - There are times when I was not appreciative of the strength of some panel joints (screwing plastic into plastic), but, keeping in mind that this is a plastic shed, is reasonably priced and is pretty easy to assemble; it's good value for the money spent. - Aesthetics of the finished shed are good Cons: - The side panel front edges have cavity to slide in a square steel tube that, in turn, supports a strong interface for the door hinges to bolt into. Would be great if a similar approach was used on the upper edge of side and rear panels. This would make for a much stronger and secure joint between panels and roof, than is afforded by the weak plastic-plastic interface @ present. - upper and lower hardware to secure left door when closed is really lightweight and offers questionable durability. - better/more ways to anchor racks for hanging tools, etc would help this shed be more useful

Great shed

This shed is what I needed. I wanted something to store a greenhouse before spring. The size is a little bigger than I needed, but it works to store other items that were cluttering the patio. The only issue I have is the sliding lock to tight. I have to lift the left door to close it. The adjustment to the sliding lock is supposed to be on the left door but I've moved the latch as high as I can get it and it's still tight.

Worth it.

This shed was relatively easy to put together. I did most of it myself and then had my husband help when I needed it. It took about four hours total from unpacking the box to moving it in place. It holds our electric mower, reel mower, several shovels, rakes, and our electric weed eater. The shelves are super sturdy and have some reinforcement bars to hold a good amount. I would recommend this shed to anyone that doesn't have a ton of space but needs storage and has the time and ability to put it together. Sheds are at a higher price point than I had originally anticipated but it's so worth it!

Save your money!

This thing was a nightmare to put together! I still don't have it completely together because i don't have a drill bit. The instructions are terrible to understand and you definitely need 2 people to build this. If you have the extra funds to pay for them to build it...let them do it! The frame itself seems sturdy but again not being completely built i can't say anything about the doors or unevenness.
