Foundation

This needs a foundation as the flooring isn't very strong and no where in this description does it state that only in the instructions after one has purchased the product.

Built to last

Pros: It seems like it was built to last a long time. Cons: confusing instructions, a lot of work and a lot of reading instructions. I felt like I could had built one out of wood faster.

Love the shed.

Great looking shed. It takes a minimum of 2 people plus a third to help hold panels in place while insuring they are even and inserting screws. Instructions are not written for novice assemblers as there are helpful hints that are not included.

Flat means flat

Shed is great - but you need a perfectly FLAT 20 ft long surface, or you'll have issues with the last roof pieces. There is a gottcha, for the floor (where the mid doors are) - not well explained in the docs. I also had to use some shimms under the roof to get the mid doors to fit right. All in all, good shed.

Extremely satisfied customer

I 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. 🇺🇸

Surprising great construction

We 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.

Nice Shed for the Money but a Bear to Assemble

This is a good looking shed but no picnic to assemble. Most of the instructions were just OK with some of the drawings being very difficult to interpret. The biggest problem I had was attaching the top row of skylights at the peak of the roof. You can not assemble the entire row of skylights, set them on the roof and expect them to line up as the instructions tell you to do because they will not. You need to put on one section at a time starting from the middle and work your way out installing one section at a time. It is still very difficult to get them to line up but they will if you force them. Another issue is that the overlapping sections of the floor that are supposed to be attached with the screws do not overlap enough and many of the screws are simply holding nothing. Lastly, get ready for a work out as you install 256 self tapping screws to install the roof truss reinforcements. There are no holes in the steel and you simply have to tap each one with a screw. I will say that all in all, it's a pretty good shed for the money.

great shed and great after sale service

I 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 Customer Service

I 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 help line but I have not needed these. Instructions very clear.
