7X7 SHED
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this shed. It is sturdy and worth every penny I paid for it. Putting it together was easy but some parts do require 2 people. We bought another shed last year and spent twice the money and it is a piece of crap. We plan to purchase another one of these next year.
Easy Assembly
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to assemble if you follow the instructions. Two people will make it easier to install the walls and roof. I had to refer to the video for the first corner installation because the written instructions were not clear. It took 4 hours to assemble the components and 3 hours to assemble the roof and walls with my wife's help (and we are still married!)
Nice looking Shed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this shed and built an oversized concrete pad 8' x 8' for it I wish they had extra screws, I for short quite a few ADZ x 8, ADVx 6, ARVx 1 and HDW x 2 (clips). 2 AHS end plugs for tubes were for smaller tubes and would not fit the ends of tubes they were for. At 72 years, this took 8 hours with a helper to install! It's a nice shed and my wife likes it.
Perfect shed for our house
This was a great buy, it was delivered to the house. We assembled it and it's great. My only change with your directions for this model for your online tutorial would be to put the roof panels on and attach it to the sides first, then lift up on the metal truss roof frame to line up the holes and then put the screws in. It definitely will save you a ton of time. Overall, we're very happy with the shed.
Very well designed product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me clear the air about assembly time.My wife and I spent 6 1/2 hours at a leisurely pace to complete assembly. There isn't anything requiring great physical effort to assemble. We found a video on you tube for our exact model which was extremely helpful. I would have given a five star rating if it weren't for two things. The first is the printed instructions.Each page lists the parts and hardware required for each page of assembly. The problem we had was identifying those items. Not so much the parts, but the fasteners. The pictures of the fasteners is helpful on each page, but a description would have saved us an immense amount of time. I realize they were referenced by an identifying number, but that still left doubt as to which screws were to be used. A brief description such as “use screw ADZ screw size 1/4” by 1” or whatever that particular screw size was, would eliminate the worry of possibly using the wrong one and putting a screw through the wall or roof creating a hole. We spent a lot of time choosing the correct fasteners. The other item we were disappointed with is, both front corner pieces changed color on the corners when following the instructions to fold them to make the corners. I don't feel as though there is any structural compromise, but is certainly takes away from the beautiful quality of the building. This is a very attractive building and looks very expensive, except for where the gray turned almost white when we folded the two panels..What we do like is it is well designed with all the fasteners being installed from the inside eliminating exposure to the elements. Also we believe as good a fit as all the parts have, bees and mice will not be able to get in. We recommend you purchase if you want a quality building.
Very Durable
Easy enough to assemble, did it by myself. Now I own two Lifetime sheds, the newest one a 7x7 and the first one a 10 x 8 purchased in 2017. The 10 x 8 is much more sturdy and has more braces.
Fairly Easy to Assemble
We bought this shed in May to replace a chicken coop. After I leveled the ground, I built a foundation of treated lumber and a plywood floor. The assembly was easy enough, but when I tried to install the skylights, they were too long. I double checked the instructions and even had my wife and neighbor check it out to make sure I wasn't missing something. We all agreed the panels were too long. After trimming 1/2 -inch, they fit like a charm. So far the only issue we are having is that we are getting water leaking from outside on the perimeter of the walls on one side of the shed.🤔 The walls are dry and there are no leaks from the roof. The base sits about 4-1/2-inches above ground, so I have no I sea where the water is coming from. Other than that, the shed is a definite upgrade from our old coop.
Looks good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shed was not that bad to set up. I spent where here and there took about 7 hours total all day on a Saturday. There was only a couple of parts that didn't have stamped what they were but the pictures made it easy to tell all the parts were in it. The windows that go in the door you need washers because the heads of the screws are not big enough to grip the window. I did have a difficult time getting the floor put together and had to put ratchet straps on it to suck it in and then kind of wiggle it until it snap together. To me there was also a page with duplicate instructions. 8.16 and 8.17 basically say the same thing except it says to use two different screws. An ADZ and ARV. The ARV screws did not exist. It's just the ADZ screws that you use. All in all I am happy the shed looks good and it has been rained on already and it keeps the water out I had my kids help sort parts and things. My wife was helping with the walls and roof. As far as the wall clips my wife and daughter did those. I was on the outside holding the walls. They weren't that bad. They had to use a hammer to tap them into place. The one I did was not bad so I'm going to say yes they made it easier. There's no other issues. I've started putting shelves into it already. It wasn't bad to level out and it locks really good so I am happy with it.
Parts did not fit well together
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had to cut some of the metal from the polls on the doors in order to get it to fit. Before we did that we spoke with someone and they sent us new hinges and metal polls, but once we got them we srill had to cut about a quarter inch from the polls to get it to fit. So that was super frustrating since we were not able to get it up in one day.
We're sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it is when replacement parts do not resolve the issue and delay the completion of your project. We apologize for the inconvenience and the extra time and effort this caused. Our Customer Service team would be happy to look into this with you further.

Not a good review
I do not recommend this product based on my experience so far. The instruction manual is poorly written and does not clearly explain how to assemble the parts or which nails, screws, and other hardware should be used at each step. It would be much more helpful if the manual included clear, step-by-step instructions with detailed illustrations and a complete list of all the materials needed for assembly. I'm hoping the product itself turns out to be good, but if I continue having issues because of the unclear instructions, I will be returning it. Please improve the manual so future customers have a much easier assembly experience.
Thanks for your feedback. We do have a helpful YouTube video available for this shed that should make assembly easier for you. Here is the link: https://youtu.be/9ftVipn3emI?si=t2_vYkpWW_0JW_rx.
