Great Price, Great Service!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shed! The kit includes a booklet that, after carefully perusing it a few times and carefully measuring all the pieces in the kit, I am thrilled with the results. When putting the whole thing together, I realized there was a piece missing and customer service was responsive via email. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a shed for personal use.
Great features, just the right size for us
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought a couple of months ago, with idea a spring project. We preassembled walls, in our garage during rain. When it dried up, we took it to the permanent spot and started to assemble. For our age we did a good job putting it together. We love projects, and this was no exception.
Perfect size!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had this shed a year now and loving it! Perfect size for small residential lot and love the features of double door, and the fixed gabled window that allows light in. Nice looking and well built.
Shed Tastic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this shed during covid. I was amazed with how easy it was to order, select & understand upgrade options. Delivery was on time and set up was contactless. All I had to do was paint it! A nice storage addition that looks nice in my back yard!
Solid Contraction and installer was great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this shed a year ago and it's been very useful. I was able to paint it to my desired color to match my home, and the construction materials are solid. The installation was done in one day by a professional.
Nice shed, good instructions, quality materials
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] TL;DR - Nice shed, good price, decent easy to follow instructions, kit includes all the hardware required, wood quality was good with minimal warping but nothing that prevented assembly, you need your own flooring, paint and shingles. Solid construction design and plenty of room for all your storage needs._x000D_ _x000D_ I have been wanting a shed for some time when saw these at a local big box home supplies retailer. The base price for self install was much less than competitor sheds, but does not include the flooring, shingles or paint; these are part of the Homeland install option and in either case and after adding in the cost of these items was still a better deal than the competitors. But I'm a bit of a cheapskate, more than capable to construct this shed (which was not difficult, more to follow), and had recently painted my house and had plenty of paint left over for this project._x000D_ _x000D_ I ordered the base kit along with the other materials for the flooring and roofing at the same time from the home supplies retailer which made the whole process very easy, and had it delivered. The kit comes with all the prices sandwiched and banded together between two 4x8 sheets of roofing plywood which as you might have guessed are used for the roof. It is very heavy and requires a forklift to load/unload, but I suppose if you had your own truck to haul it you could just take the kit apart to unload._x000D_ _x000D_ I live in the Southwest its dry and the ground is solid so I made a foundation of 12x12 pavers over fortified sand (mixed in portland cement), the finished elevation is just slightly higher than the exiting ground. I made a flooring frame of pressure treated 2x4s and covered it with 3/4in flooring plywood and stated assembling the shed. _x000D_ _x000D_ All the parts and hardware are labeled with a two letter code and all the instructions for the various steps identify which pieces of wood or hardware are used, the quantity needed and where to put them. I did frequently add some additional hardware (screws/nails) where I felt some extra would be beneficial, but the as designed specification are adequate for a solid build. Some of the 2x3 pieces were a little warped and it took some additional effort to hold into place. I did not have to replace or re-cut anything to fit; and its common for wood to warp as it dries so I was not alarmed to see this, but also glad it was not worse; maybe my being in the dry Southwest helped._x000D_ _x000D_ I did most of the construction myself, including putting on the roofing, but I did get help erecting the walls. It took me probably 2 solid days for the basic shed construction including painting and shingles, but I did this over a couple weekends and only spent a few hours each morning working on it before it got hot. I would recommend that two people do this, I think it would have been faster. The only thing that I messed up on was placement of the walls. Because the wall assembly uses two different sized spanners across the wall joists the wall could bend a little when lifting it into place. I did not realize that until after I had all four walls up and looked down the length. The siding is not flush up to the flooring frame, maybe 1/2in or so offset in the center of the wall but I did get it secured to the floor and you really cant tell on the finished product so I left it. It would be nice if the instructions provided some warnings and things to look for during assembly for those of us that did not know or forgot to check._x000D_ _x000D_ In the end I'm very happy with the results. The shed is very solid, looks good and has lots of room and the double doors lets you get in and out with lawn mowers and bikes very easily. I installed a number of shelves, a small work surface and loft at the back for even more storage. There are a lot of options that can be ordered with the shed, but I opted to install a third party vent in the roof, and will also add a couple vents in the wall at the floor to improve air flow and a light. I very glad that I got this shed and believe that it will last every bit as long as any regular house.
Perfect Storage Shed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this shed in July and although it took a long time for it to be installed, it was well worth the wait! Perfect for storing my dog agility equipment. The installers were fantastic to work with and it was very smooth.
Know what you are getting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shed is working fine, the crew that installed it were pleasant and courteous, and the painter was great, even though it took a while for him to get to us. I was, however, somewhat disappointed that the walls were framed with 2x3 rather than 2x4 studs, that there were no studs at the sides of the door openings, and that studs were spaced four _x000D_ feet apart on the rear wall. I think for the price, the framing should have been a lot better. In fairness, Backyard did give me a couple of 2x4s in an effort to answer my complaint. _x000D_ They were, of course, the wrong size, but I appreciated the gesture._x000D_ The doors tend to swell in the wet weather, and are difficult to open. A small thing, but rather annoying. They are built up from osb panels similar to that used for the siding._x000D_ As I said above, really check out the product before you order it to be sure that you understand just what you are buying
Great shed!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Shed is well made and looks great. Perfect size to hold the average persons yard equipment, hurricane shutters and tools. Love tat it was primed and ready to paint the same color as the house. Highly recommend adding the shelves inside too.
Nice Shed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this shed a month ago and had it installed my Heartland. The man did a good job putting the shed up but Heartland sent the wrong flooring. They sent me a cheaper brand of flooring then what I was suppose to get. The poor man said he would have to go all the way back up to Cincinnati OH and it may take a few days to get back to me. I had already waiting 2 weeks for them to install the shed. So I told him to go ahead with what he had but I was disappointed in Heartland sending the wrong material.
