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.

Walls bowing outward horribly

Installed this shed just over a month ago, now both of the walls perpendicular to the two windows are both bowing outwards. These are the only two location in the shed that did not have the "Wall Support Channel". Oversight perhaps by Lifetime, but they provided no additional bracing or support, which causes both of the window-side walls to buckle and bow. (NOTE: nothing is leaning against the walls from the inside the shed that might otherwise cause the buckle/bowing) Spent a lot of hard earned money to buy this shed, would probably had considered alternative's had I known how flimsy the wall are without proper structural bracing and support.

Well built sturdy priduct

Instructions should be clearer with better pictures & some things are not specific in the pictures. It’s together & will enjoy for many years! Compliments from the neighbors & one is seriously considering getting one! Highly recommend! Oh! Video on YouTube is old! Not helpful!

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!!!

Not a good experience, serious concerns about long term durability.

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.

Attractive and very sturdy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I helped my neighbor install a 11x21 Shepherd on a prepared concert floor. Three people took most of the day but following instructions we had no problems . Having concrete flooring prepared ahead of time is a must. Receive numerous comments from neighbors on the attractive appearance the sturdiness I would not be surprised to see several more go up this summer including one in my backyard .

Excellent Customerr Service

We bought this shed 2 years ago. We had a problem with a skylight. The representative listened to our concerns and sent a new part with no hassle. This is a very durable shed! We live in a windy area and have had many storms with high winds and the shed withstood the storms every time!

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.

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.
