[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_

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_

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_

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_

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_

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_

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.
