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!

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 .

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.

I do not recommend!

I bought this unit and built a solid foundation for it. The walls were not very stable or secure. If someone wanted to kick it in it could be done. The doors did not fit securely and won’t stay shut. There were many openings to the outside that we used silicone to water proof. I have had it one summer and the walls are starting to bow outwards and the doors won’t secure properly I have to use a screw driver to try to pop into place but it won’t stay. It seems to be warping with the heat and it doesn’t get hotter than 105 where I live and very low humidity we are a dry state for the most part. I am really sad I saved up and invested in this product. It wasn’t cheap. I wish I had gone somewhere else.

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.

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.

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.

No Bang For The Buck

Bought this right around Black Friday 2017 and just got around to assemble it. The instructions are very hard to understand and when I had it assembled the walls are covering the holes for the door hinges. Not real happy with this purchase

Bags of Hardware did not match assembly bioklet

The book that came with the shed had bags of hardware labeled incorrectly from the instructions! Other than that instructions were clear on assembly.
