Great Shed

We 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.

Assembly App

The 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.

Intense assembly. High quality shed.

Beautiful shed. High quality and heavy duty materials. Very difficult to get corners in place, and skylight peak is very fragile and nearly impossible to install in one piece. The roof was also very difficult to assemble. You 100% need multiple people to install. We were told it would take 2 adults 3 days to assemble and this is correct! We thought that was a ridiculous timeframe but on day 3 of blood, sweat and tears (not an exaggeration) it finally all came together. It's definitely worth the price and efforts.

Exactly what I expected!

We 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 and easy to work with like other comments. My John Deer 42” with bagger fits in the end door and has plenty of room. As I mentioned very time consuming, and need to understand how it’s assembled first. allow 12-18 hours, most of work can be done by one person, but some items due require 2 people. Seems like a great product, and won’t require any maintenance. Check out the BILT app. I still feel as though worth the money saved vs other options.

Might be solid shed, but instructions are disaster

Shed might be decent quality but the assembly instructions are horrendous!! I am extremely handy and very capable of following assembly instructions. But the directions here were horrible. I've built Cheap furniture from China that has better instructions and labeling than this Shed does.....shameful coming from an American company.

Even though... we like it very well

Overall very satisfied, like the look, reasonably easy to put together, plenty of light with the skylights. 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.

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.

Shed kit honest review

Great quality product, however the assembly is not what they say. They tell you 2 guys 8 hours. My buddy and i work in the trades so not just a couple schmucks and it took us 14 hrs to assemble. The instructions in a few areas could've been better. The way it tells you to assemble the ridge skylight simply did not work the way they wanted you to do it. The other part that could use improvements is the sliding dead bolt style door latches. After using then maybe 10 times they lossened up to the point they won't keepbthe top of the doors katched. But over all a pretty decent shed kit. This is all however after i had to wait for a second shed kit. The first kit that arrived was completely trashed with all the boxes broke open and loose parts laying all over the delivery truck so i refused the delivery.

Great product, Great Customer Service

I 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 the door but they immediately sent a replacement one, great customer service!

Can’t tell you anything about it!

I 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.
