Awesome shed!!! I went with the assembly company to put together which they did in 3.5 hours. But I love this shed lots of room which that is what I wanted. Love the fact it’s plastic
So I can garden hose the floor and walls. And this is why I chose this shed for all the things I needed for!!!

- 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase6/24/2017We are almost finished with the construction of our shed. Maybe you should offer a bucket of patience with the kit because we almost used up all of ours! It would have been helpful if all of the pieces and parts were properly labeled rather than having to guess when checking the parts against the inventory sheets. Overall it has "gone together" quite well and I can't wait to move my potting bench and yard implements into their new home.
Surprising great construction
GrandmeowOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase12/1/2020We are very happy with this shed. The only issue we had when putting it together was the dormer pieces that go above the side door were very tight. Other than that no real issues. Make sure you plan ahead and read the instructions all the way through first before starting. You will not get this shed built in an afternoon either. We had several hours in sorting the pieces out and building the trusses and everything else we could ahead of time.
Great Shed
Midwestern FamilyOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase1/7/2019Stopped dead in our tracks when we found we were missing part DSQ and 20 screws DTK. No problem getting parts when I called but will take about 5 days to get the parts. Trying to inventory all parts before starting May b a good thing but prepare to take several hours to do so. There are a lot of boxes and bags that are not all well labeled. Make sure you have three people when doing the wall build, especially if ther is a breeze. Make sure doors get put up AFTER the complete wall build. Also, when doing the wall build, only put in top and bottom screws on each panel to start. You may need to take a whole side down and redo install when you get to last corner piece and find it is too long because the sections were not pounded together tightl...
Missing parts Order
NickOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase12/13/2018my unit was missing two small pieces, I called and asked for replacement parts, they shipped them within three days, I when I got them I realized I asked for the wrong pieces, they then sent me the correct pieces. the phone service was polite and efficient. I feel very good about lifetime.
great service
jim anthonyOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 2 out of 5 stars review8/17/2026Put the shed together, looks good. Screws stripped out easily on some areas. They felt snug but went into shed a few days later and the screws were on the floor from the roof panels. Called in and was told to take apart and return the panels for replacement. That would have left my shed open to environment. I had to find wider screws to held it together tight. This resolved my problem. A month later, another factory screw was on the floor. Had to replace that one also. Not happy with my purchase.
Nice look, but better hardware needed

I had the professional installers put it up for me on a cement slab I had poured before it was delivered. I love that it has two entry ways and windows That make it nice and light inside. I am storing mainly boxes and totes right now and everything stays dry and accessible. Love this shed!

Karen StrutzOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase2/12/2023I purchased the lifetime shed prior to that I reviewed several you-tube videos and thought about going with Tuff shed but realized the price of one was way beyond my budget. Being said with the great customer service and support we’ve been extremely satisfied beyond belief. 🇺🇸
Extremely satisfied customer
OrganizedOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase3/30/2020I have been assembling this by myself. I am doing the walls today and will have a neighbor help. So far, not bad. The only difficulty was sliding the metal door frames onto the door -- need lots of hammering with a mallet, but I got it done. It's rugged -- I had to leave its pieces exposed to the elements and it held up very well. I love the size and the niceties like windows and skylights. Only bad thing was one of the metal pieces did not get primed properly and the paint started peeling off. They responded to my concern immediately and are sending me a replacement part. There are LOTS of parts; make sure you keep items in their labeled bags so you know what goes where. The lifetime warranty is a big plus. They have videos and a...
Great Customer Service
LadyMDOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase11/2/2020We needed more space. We consider wood prefab, and it’s still kind of a toss up! by time you build wood foundation or pour concrete. prefab wood comes with that and makes is easier to relocate if you want to take the shed with you. We had concrete poured and i dont know if i’d build one this big again! I’d say it takes good 13-18 hours to build. I’d suggest download app Bilt and type in the model number, also watch few install videos on youtube. We messed up the floor lay down and put up back walls till we realize why the door holes weren’t lining up. Also short doors poles for side door, long poles for the end doors! We messed up the doors, and not feasible to disassemble the other doors just for one pole, Customer service was very nice an...
Exactly what I expected!
NoneOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 2 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase4/28/2021I really can’t tell you anything about this shed as I’m still waiting for it to be delivered. The tracking says it’s here in the area, but they keep putting off delivering it? I really hope it’s not damaged because who knows how long it will take to get another one.
Can’t tell you anything about it!

But: * Floor is very soft (too soft), * Gaps remain where the wall panels join into the floor solts, (the plywood floor we added helps block a little bit). * No options for Anchoring the building provided when we called.
Even though... we like it very well
RG BushOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase10/22/2022I bought this lifetime shed 7 years ago. The skylight on roof top began leaking half year ago when raining. I called lifetime recently, and was told they would ship me a new skylight for free of charge. The customer service gentleman is really very nice and friendly. I am very satisfied lifetime product and service. Cathy, Toronto, Ontario
great shed and great after sale service
CathyOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase4/3/2023Although a little tricky and time consuming to build, you defiantly get a great sense of achievement having done so. A strong sturdy structure with plenty of storage space, be shelving or tool mounting hooks, you won't struggle to find a hook to hang a shovel. Take time to build it and you will marvel in it.
Great, strong and sturdy, with ample storage space
GeoffOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase12/28/2020The shed is excellent but initially had trouble assembling. We tried the instruction book, YouTube but it was not until a representative told us about the downloadable assembly app. This is when everything finally came together. The pictures in the app and instructions were easier to understand and follow for a novice. Wish that we had this first would’ve saved a lot of time and bad mistakes.

JCMMOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase5/18/2021I am highly satisfied with the product, and I never do these reviews but I felt like I needed to let others know this is a good product. As a mechanical engineer, I think this product is well engineered and was easy to put together. I was a little hesitant with it being a plastic, but the screws do work well and I fell like there is enough metal to make it strong. There are a ton of pieces to put together but the order in manual is great. The YouTube video was awesome and needed. My only recommendation would be to label all the metal pieces with easy to remove no residue stickers. They should also add a note in manual about the doors with the longer rods go in the short end, I had to figure it out from the video. I was missing a window on t...
Great product, Great Customer Service
daveOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase10/17/2022This is a great shed. With help, I was able to build it in two days. I'd say the instructions are okay, but could be better in terms of the order of things. We had to undo some of the work during the process due to the instructions not being clear enough. With that being said, we got it together and I love the shed. It looks great and it an awesome place to store stuff. I am thinking about buying another one.
Excellent Shed!!! 5 Stars.
JustinOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase7/19/2022I have been buying Lifetime products whenever I can. If I need something I will see if Lifetime makes it :) Recently I need a replacement part and Darwin helped me. Its great customer service like this that makes me buy their products and recommend them to others. In Canadas harsh climate they are a perfect fit. Cheers

BursOriginally posted onlifetime.com - 5 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchase2/11/2025Overall happy with results. I assembled the shed, including site wood frame foundation in one week, by one person, using clamps as extra helpers. Hardest part was lifting and sliding the 20' long skylight onto the roof. I wish the manual included helpful hints about what not to do, as well as what to do. The video was quite helpful. I wish the manual's diagrams were larger, especially when detailing the parts. One issue learned is that plastic expands when warm or hot, so door alignment in the hot afternoon is quite different than cooler mornings and evenings.
