Nice Shed for the Money but a Bear to Assemble

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

Very nice for the price, nice quality

My husband and I are 60, we managed to put this together in two full days. I recommend having a rubber mallet as suggested, and READ ahead on each step before completing previous step, you will be happy you did. One HUGE mistake we made was putting the doors on willy nilly, be SURE to line up slots for the cotter key, it is extremely hard to lift all the up and off if you misguide the metal tubing. We almost crashed and burned here. Also make sure to pull off the tint of blue on the sky lights before installing, big oops for us... We had to call the company about the front angle piece, not understanding if we had to force a tube through and wanted to be sure before breaking something. Customer service is EXCELLENT!!! All in all I'd do it again, I believe you can teach and old dog new tricks ;) I would definitely recommend this to a friend, plus I'd help build it. It was kinda fun actually..

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.

8x20 shed for workshop

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall 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.

Very pleasant to talk to

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There were parts missing from a shed we received two days ago and they were no pleasant and helpful in getting us what we need to finish the shed.

Great Service!

We had a minor problem with our 20' x 8' shed. I inquired about purchasing replacement parts. Not only were the parts available, but were covered by warranty. Parts were received 12 days after my first inquiry. We are very pleased!

Glad I chose Lifetime

A few days of work gave me a sturdy and dry shed that looks good too. My neighbor spent a couple K more to get a wooden shed of similar size delivered and installed.

Vague Instruction

No doubt about the durable shed but there are 2 problems: First, one of the floor panels was damage. Second, the instruction is missing on how to attach the door on the floor. Also it is hard to follow.
