In this video, we go check out a shed at Sams and do an entire build on it. I hope this video helps you out if you decide to purchase this.

I bought the same exact shed at Sam’s for 699. This video will be helpful when I start assembling it. I’m also going to build my foundation just like yours too. Looks to be very sturdy. Thanks for sharing!

Nice! I bought one last week and put it up. It's $850 now here in the Charlotte NC area. Took a few hours, especially if I include leveling the area and building the wood foundation.

I just like to use a screw driver for plastic stuff. Always. I don’t care if it’s 700 screws to fill.
I see this ... after I got it put together . ... I guess we both decided a wood clamp was needed there... and then I used it several times afterwards. I put it up by myself, but it sure would have been easier with 2 or 3 people.
