Thank you so much for this excellent video!!! I lost my mind and over an hour of time trying to get 1 window installed on a door. The gasket kept falling out, and then when it didn't fall out, the holes weren't lining up. After many attempts, I ended up drilling the hole on the door big enough so that I could see where the screws go into the window frame. Tomorrow, I'm using your method for the second window. Holy cow, I can't even put into words how frustrated I was😂. I know that a China man was laughing at me.

Your video saved me hours of trying to decipher the manual. Thank you for your detailed explanations!

Your instructions are SO much better than the factory instructions. Thank you!!!!

I will be honest. Suncast installation instructions, SUCK ! When I called customer support about not having instructions the girl said I can download and print them. The second slap was, their video was crap as well ! You should copyright your video and then sell it to Suncast. Thank you very much for all the help ! Great video in taking the time for instruction, quality and professional. Sincerely, Rob Dattilo

This was a fantastic video. We erected one of these today in Bermuda and pretty much ignored the instruction manual. Thanks SO much for taking the time to make this video.

Guys thank you so very much, your attention to detail in explaining how to put this puppy 🐶 together is impressive; it’s almost like you built it first and then reassembled it to explain how to put it together; I’ve seen other videos and they just don’t explain it the way you did! Next time, tell your helper to say 👋 hello, we don’t bite! 😅

This video was really helpful. The small tips (like fitting the top screw for the door first) helped a long way. I and my wife were able to fit the shed in 2 days (with breaks). We pretty much ignored the manual except for a few location references. This is our first DIY project and it turned out to be very well. Thanks to this video!

Great video! I used hot glue to keep the window gaskets in place, then laid the doors on their sides to screw the windows in place.

Thanks so much for this tutorial. We erected an 8x7 shed. The only time we referred to the instruction manual was for the A-frame. The long beam does not have that extra piece for length. I was thinking we were missing a piece.😂

Excellent video. Now I have to get two of these for my place. Got to keep the wife happy! I found you did a perfect explaination of what had to be done. Thank You!

Thanks for the video. I used it to assembly my 8x10. So much easier than using the directions. When putting in window gaskets I used small pieces of ducktape to hold the gasket in place. It helped speed up the process. Your idea on the sky lights gasket with the screws sticking out was a great idea. Thanks again.. Awesome video.

Thanks very much for the video, made it easier once I tackled this myself. Just shy of 7 hours from opening first box to completion (with one short break and a lunch break). Like you and others, had some difficulty with the window gaskets staying in place. I used very small pieces of electrical tape to hold them in place until I got a few screws started. But that was only after I struggled for about 30 minutes on the very first window (ugh...). Also had issues getting the very last roof panel in place. Again like others, had to loosen some truss rod screws and bolts so there was room to maneuver. Still had problems getting the last couple screws in place, used a clamp to pull things tight to the truss. Once everything was in place and retightened, the entire structure stiffened up and felt very secure. Very pleased with the purchase, for what it is and for the money I think it's one of the best resin sheds you can buy. We don't expect it to last 30 years, but if we can get the warranty period of 10 years and then perhaps a little bit, we feel we will have gotten our money's worth.

Thank you very much. My husband and I are putting this together now. Extremely helpful!

Had a lot of issues with screws not aligning with the panels but after a lot of force everything eventually did work! Thanks for the tutorial!

Just got mine down did it by myself with some help from the wife thank you for the instructions!

Love this video. I have a Suncast 7 x 7 to assemble soon, and I will be referring to this video to assist me. Thank you for creating.

Danny guys like you and videos like this is what you tube is all about. You’re killing it Bro 😎

Thx for the very detailed instructional video. I literally just bought this shed and will be installing it myself.

Perfect video ! Very clear instructions Thanks ! With out it we were lost !

Although not hard, it helped to watch your video before assembling the shed. Thanks.

Thank you for the great video! Helped me and my Dad out alot. The directions to the hardware were confusing at times. your video simplified it!

Great Video . Best Instructional video on how to construct the shed. Nice job.

This has been on my list to do with the new house, thanks

Great video, it helped a lot in speeding things up. A couple of things, on the trusses, the ridge bracket CC goes under the truss legs AA. Also, on the doors, I assembled them on a table where I could lay everything in place and then have the window edge over the table edge so I could put the screws in from below, that worked quite well.

I am so glad you made this video! :))) You are very good at explaining this process. I bought the 6x5 version of this shed and I got it all together except for the roof panels. I wasn't sure exactly how they went on and where those metal strips went. My instruction booklet wasn't very helpful in explaining it. I had a heck of a time getting the plexiglass screwed down over the gasket on the doors but I managed to get it with the help of a screw driver. Those little screen vents are pretty lame. They shorted me on screws so I put some silicone around the edges of the screens to hold it good and keep any bugs from crawling inside. I'm going to attempt to put my roof panels on today 😬Thanks again for posting! ☺

You Have No Idea How Much I Appreciate You Brother! Thank You!

Great video! I need to unassemble a similar model from a friends home and then rebuild it at my place. This video will come in handy!😂

Thanks, my son and I finished this in about 8hrs with a 15mim break, the most difficult part compared to the rest of it which was pretty easy was screwing in the windows on the doors and pushing the rear roof to align with the railing. Other than that it was just tedious.

Awesome video Thankz currently building one just need to finish the roof tomorrow and I'm done 😁👍🏼

Super helpful. You're a good teacher.

Thumbs up for the build and the Termi in the background.

Mine is a year old, i caulked the inside and built it in the shade, if you're not building it on a cement foundation as i did, make sure your platform is level. it won't go together if its off, such as the door or roof not fitting right. mine has held up fine with no leaks or other issues. I read the reviews on it, and it doesn't hold up well in the direct sun in hot climates.

Would adding a bead of non-hardening adhesive sealant in the slots be helpful when assembling the floor, walls and roof panels, and maybe in the corner panels? Not so much for strength, but for keeping critters and bugs out, and perhaps extra water sealing.

I’ve just received this shed and watched your video before I do anything. I have a question about a subject that no one else has touched on here. Since this thing is plastic, the torque the drill is set to is going to have to be set very low. I have a Dewalt that looks like yours that’s six years old. It’s never been used for anything other that drilling holes. I haven’t been able to find the owner’s manual to learn how to adjust the torque setting. I’ve thought about just going ahead and experimenting starting with the lowest setting. What would you say is the correct setting number for this job? Thank you for your advice and the great job you’ve done on making this video.

I would start on the lowest setting, and most drills have a variable speed trigger, so practice lightly pressing it to see if you can also control the speed with the trigger.

Does this have ventilation? I have a very large basement and I'd like a friend to be able to sleep down in my basement without having to heat the entire room, and also give them privacy at night.
