The video is far more helpful than the instructions. Right now I'm trying to get assistance on why the building is not square. I had a concrete pad put in and its is perfectly flat and level. My building is off-center by over 1" leaning to the left, and my doors wont open/close properly.

Great review. Seems like all these plastic/resin sheds have their assembly and quality issues; doesn't matter what manufacturer. I can see why a good level base is necessary. Thank you for your honest report.

I just got one of these sheds. Thanks for the video was very helpful. Will put it together this weekend.

Good luck!

I have a Rubbermaid one, the roof was tough with no help, but I got it done. Plastic is great but I used it for feed. That encouraged some critter to eat it's way in, which requires a lot of chewing. You could use it for a riding lawnmower but with that plastic floor and wood underneath, you're taking a chance that it will break. Mine is on gravel, but I would still worry about breaking the floor.

Fantastic review! Still undecided but feeling very well informed. Thank you!

Thank you. It helped me a lot in the installation phase.

I hope it works out for you! I just bought one and it was delivered today. Hoping to assemble this weekend. Fingers crossed all goes well

Thanks for the video. I was just about to buy one of these from Lowe’s for extra storage. Now I may need to reevaluate. Looking at the online pic Does not look as poorly made as you demonstrate. Glad you did the review

We just finished getting our shed together. Your video was helpful.

Did anyone ever try filling the floor panels with great stuff?

Great Job!

Those allen head plastic screws do screw in, maybe your wall flexing problem

My plastic screws actually screwed in. I had an issue with getting one side of the roof squared up.

Just built this shed and I don't totally agree with your experience. The part letters (MM, GG, etc) are all listed on the front where it tells you what bag the parts are in, could have been better, but wasn't hard to figure put, most of the hardware was bundled together by step. Overall I think it was a good deal

Sounds like you got a defective item. Those plastic pieces are definately supposed to screw in. You can here it click when it's tight. I built the shed alone but used a clamp to help hold the panels together until I had the plastic bolts in place. My panels were pretty rigid even in the heat. They didn't flex like that. I would have returned the one you got for sure. I know it's a dreaded decision sometimes... make it work or to deal with the hassle of returning it. In addition to the frustration of having everything prepped and ready and making the time to complete it just to have to do it all over again. Also not sure if it's luck of the draw or an update but the instructions that came with my shed stated under each picture which package the hardware was in. Looks likes yours unfortunately didn't have that included in each step.

Lmao😂 I did the same thing. The black screws with padded washers are for the ceiling (I think). Use JJ screws for the netting by the roof. I had problems lining up my last roof piece, doesn’t fit correctly

Window gasket assembly was an absolute NIGHTMARE. Either the gasket tubing needs some type of adhesive so it stays in the groove or, the channel groove in the door frame needs to be deeper. It took me way over an hour for the doors as the rubber gasket kept popping out while trying to insert the rest. After that disaster, having to make sure the gasket stays in while also trying to line up the screws with the holes in the fake window panel was another nightmare because you can't see that they're lined up before tightening. It's like assembling while being blindfolded. Skylight gaskets were a breeze.

Thank you. Nice work. I won't be getting one of these.

Did the foundation 1x6 wood boards come with the kit, or did you buy that and do it on your own?

You are Wrong about the plastic panel screw that do not screw into the walls. They do screw into the wall and snap lock into place. Just wanted to correct you since I just assembled the same exact shed today.

Those black screws weren't for the screen on the vent. It's odd they packaged them with the screen.

How long did assembly take

Yea, put mine up in three days also. The instructions ssssssuck big time, lol. Had problem with last roof panel, good GOD, what a pain. I think it’s best to put together when the plastic is hot and more flexible. Better to watch video to assemble this product. Having super level ground is key. Doors don’t close properly, ohh well, I can live with that, the building does its job. This is the second kind I have of this brand and they seem water tight, no problems there. 👍🏻

I just bought mine today from Fleet Farm for $940

Hi, I just bought this. What are the dimensions of the base you made? I see you got 1x6 but are they 12' lengths? Looks like 8.5x10.5?

The wood was a little warped and I should of blocked ? The beams I did space every 16 ish inches blocking would keep it from flexing (stager connections in the middle).10x12base is big consider waterproofing the ply wood top.

Has anyone tried to line the inside floor with plywood?

Can it be assembled With access only from the inside. I only have a few inches all the way around the perimeter that would make it difficult to move around the outside of the shed during assembly. Thank you

You would be able to do most of it you may have to find some unique ways to make sure the roof is on 100% they are easier to put on from the outside but you should be able to adjust from inside

Yes the floor is bolted down to the deck but the kit has pre drilled locations that you use not all are going to line up with studs without more reenforcement like real cement footings I don’t believe it could sustain high winds.hope this helps..

You literally showed in the manual (bottom center at 15:42 mark) instructions on how to install the plastic screws into the vertical panels. And it showed the tool to do so. It is rather unfair to criticize the company when you didn't follow directions.

At menards right now for 1200
