Great, strong and sturdy, with ample storage space

Although 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.

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 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.

Garbage

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

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.

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.

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

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!
