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 .

Well designed light weight structure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very well designed light weight structure. It's easy enough for a small lady to build. The roof, and main door gable were big challenges. I would have color codeed the tubing for the two doors since they were different. Instructions are complicated. Tool parts are labelled, if the little plastic bags could also note where they were designated, that would eliminate guessing in the process (i.e. roof parts, windows parts...etc). I had put some netting around my wood foundation to prevent uninvited critters.

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%.

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!

20x 8x shed

I am very pleased with the shed. We are now able to put our three 4- wheelers in side along with things like our weed-eater, leaf blower and many other things we can hang on the walls.

Great features

The product has many features and is nice looking. However, the doors don't line up because of the plastic design. Regardless of recommendations by Lifetime it's near impossible to get them to close properly.

I apologize for the issue you are having with the shed doors. When installing the sheds a level surface is super important in getting the doors to align properly. I am going to send a private message to you to see what we can do to help. Thank for taking time to post! Let's talk soon.

Great Shed. Snap to Assemble

I just assembled the shed in Sarurday and it was a breeze. Tip: pre-assemble the doors, trusses, gables, and skylights in advance. Took three of us under 7 hours from start to finish. I recommend this shed.
