8 ft. W x 5 ft. D Metal Storage Shed with Metal Base Frame Kit

The shed arrived in two securely packaged boxes that were easy for two people to carry to the assembly site. I unpacked everything in order and confirmed that all parts were present and in perfect condition. The directions were clear and concise, and the components fit together exactly as shown. For those planning to build this, I have three recommendations to make the process easier The Overlap Rule 1.The instructions should emphasize leaving the last screw unsecured where panels overlap until the next panel is in place. 2.Elevate Your Work We used backyard tables for subassembly to avoid working on the ground, which saved our backs. 3.Plan Your Exit When installing the roof, work from the inside toward an outer edge. We kept a stepladder inside the shed to reach the top screws for the center pieces. Just make sure your final panel is one of the outside edges so you can finish the last screws from a ladder on the exterior. For the lower screws, I highly recommend using construction knee pads (I picked mine up at the local hardware store), which made the ground-level work much more comfortable. My assembly partner and I finished the entire build in about 5 ½ hours. While a novice might want a bit more detail in certain steps, we found it to be a very straightforward project. I’m very pleased with the quality and would definitely recommend this to friends and family.

So first, the materials were very flimsy. I have arthritic hands and accidentally bent a piece and several pieces were bent out of the box. Assembly directions needed to be better. We had a breeze, not windy, just a breeze and pieces blew over causing holes where a screw was. There were not pre-drilled holes in correct places on 2 pieces. By the time we got to the roof, we could not continue with assembly because it was so far from being square that the roof can not go on correctly. This is a 3 man, 2 day job.

This is a super nice shed. I was worried about it been structurally solid, but once I assembled it it is actually pretty solid. There are lots of ways to install brackets on the walls hanging tools or putting up shelves.

This shed was bigger than I expected and works perfect for me when I put away all my backyard furniture away. Now I can even fit my 3 grills with very little room left. It was fun putting it together and am happy I had my son help me. not easy, but not to hard.
