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.

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.

Halfway through you got home instruction manual that doesn’t load on an iPhone. This is gotta be the worst piece of garbage you could buy just plastic cheap junk. I hope whoever designed this and made the instructions online eats a bag of bent nickels

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

After reading others installation reviews, was worried about challenges with assembly. Watched several of the factory YouTube videos for help PRIOR to arrival, which was a huge help as I already knew what I was looking for. With 2 people, we had no major issues during assembly. The 2 items that were slightly obscure in the instructions are floor piece orientation and door hinge bar selection. Pay attention to these two items, and you should have no issues. The base site was already prepped, not including that the total installation time was around 11 hours.

Stopped 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 tightly enough.
