Wrong parts sent twice.

I bought this and paid to have it installed. Right out of the box, the floor panels were wrong. Shed came with incorrect floor panels included, which was not immediately discovered. Called Lifetime for proper panels. Very courteous and professional customer service. Received new floor panels rather quickly (this was over the July 4th weekend). Rescheduled installer. He came out and was at my house from 10 AM until 8PM. I even helped for 5 hours. Doors would not fit on the long side, not even close. Turns out, the wrong floor panels were sent again. 20 man hours wasted. Plus, he had to disassemble the entire shed, and order new panels again. I bought this shed late in May, it was delivered about a month later, and all of July was wasted on waiting for the correct parts and rescheduling the installer. It was a very frustrating experience.

17.5x8

Built the 17.5x8, one person, so the key, is 3 fold. Go thru and make sure your wood or cement floor is level, I am screaming this as this is so important! 2, watch the videos offered by lifetime as much as you can b4 any assembly! 3 Preassemble as much as possible prior to even starting. Pray. If you don’t pray. Start. It will take you 3x more time than you think. The shed is a very good product but I re-engineered several, i.e. reinforcements, added electrical, increased sq. footage by 50%.

Looks great. Installation is difficult

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought in April 2018 the largest shed available. Ordering and delivery were all fine, bu the installation is complicated. Videos are lacking for that size, and manuals need to be made better. It took a full 3 days with a crew of 3. We are happy with the product now, but make sure you have an able professional to install it on a solid base.

Easy installation and great extras.

We bought this about 4 weeks ago. After I built the wood base we started putting it together. It took about two days to complete except for the 42 screws in the floor( I’m saving those for last). Overall the directions were good and watching the video on how to install helped a lot. Overall we love it and very glad we bought it.

Love the product and the service!!!

I bought this a couple of years ago, the setup was pretty easy, my younger daughter actually helped me with it, she said it was like putting Legos together ;-) I put mine on a concrete slab and anchored it in, and it's been rock-solid. So what prompted me to write this review is their customer service. I recently noticed that one of the clear panels running at the crest of the roof was getting split at the bend of the plastic, potentially allowing for leaks and junk to get in. I called customer service looking to see what parts I would have to get to replace/repair the item, and they actually setup an order for me to get the newer version of these panels which were more sturdy, but they didn't charge me and shipped them free. Gotta love a company that really stands behind it's products!! You've got a customer for life, I HIGHLY recommend them!!!

Difficult to assemble

This shed is very nice now that it is assembled but it was very difficult to put together. The fit of the parts was terrible. I had to push,pull,pry,pound, and even trim with a saw to get the parts to fit. The Side Gable was particularly a poor fit. It took twice a long as it should have to assemble it. The other thing that I don't like is hot it gets inside on an average summer day. Disappointing for a product this expensive.

so much for that 65mph rating

follow up to review previously left . 25-30 mph winds here on Saturday 16 FEB in Springfield MO and she is now in pieces. Screws seem very loose after screwing into plastic, nothing seems to line up correctly. Instructions are terrible. I have very serious concerns about this standing up to any kind of wind past 20mph. Bought this because of the good reviews but for the life of me I can't see why it has good reviews. For $2700 I expected this thing to be built like a tank.

Awesome product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Lifetime 20x8 shed nearly a year ago..what a happy buying decision I made! This product a wonderful addition to my backyard not only in appearance but in funtionability. I had this shed professionally installed by recommended factory installers and they did a wonderful job on this installation. I highly recommend using installers that know what there doing. I would recommend this product to everyone without hesitation!

Color is very off

This color in the picture is very different than the color of the shed that is received. When I ordered I was excepting a tan and brown shed as in the picture and unfortunately it comes as a more grey color. For the amount of money paid for the shed I think the color should be closer to what you see in the picture especially when you are buying that color specifically to match the house.
