Outsunny 7 x 4ft Metal Garden Shed Waterproof Foundation Kit Dark Grey

Let’s face it, the instruction’s claim that this can be assembled by 2 people within 3 hrs is rather fanciful. More like 3 days! However it’s still a great shed. The positives: 1) The shed looks nice. Well far nicer than we expected. We went for metal (as opposed to wood or plastic) for the fact we could get a larger shed for cheaper, so we can fit all our bikes in. We were therefore initially prepared to compromise on the look so we were pleasantly surprised with the appearance. 2) Size. Similar to the above the shed is fairly large and can easily fit in 4 or 5 bikes. It’s just possible to stand in the middle but it’s not the sort of shed you’d stay in for long anyway - more a storing kind of shed. 3) Price. It’s very good value for money when you start looking at the price of similarly sized wooden or plastic sheds. 4) Security. This is an ‘odd’ one but again an unexpected benefit is that it’s too noisy to steal from. We set up security cameras, padlocks, chains and so on then realised opening the sliding doors is so loud that you’ll wake half the neighbourhood up if you choose to park your bike in there after around 7pm! The negatives: Only one really which is the construction. I’m sure this is mentioned countless times elsewhere in product reviews but if you’ve grown accustomed to IKEA assembly instructions you’re not going to be happy. To cut a long story short the labelling of the various pieces with codes is fine but the illustrations are very poorly executed. Often it’s impossible to decipher what piece goes where by looking at the diagrams and it becomes quicker to ignore the drawings and use trial and error. The total assembly time was around 12 hours over 3 days. Of course, some will be faster and, certainly some will be even slower than us. In conclusion- Fiddly pieces, very poor illustrations in the instructions and vastly more time needed to assemble than the 3 hrs they claim. Very nice look (in our opinion), secure due to the excessive noise when opening/closing which would surely put off any would-be thief (the noise could also be a disadvantage I suppose), good price and good size. Would we buy another one if we need more storage space? The short answer is yes. Would we pay someone else to build it if we could go back in time? Yes, definitely!

You'll need minimum of 3 physically agile people, who possess a brilliant sense of humour & the patience of a Saint or two.. Only attempt to assemble on a dry zero wind day, if your brave enough & enjoy a challenge... Allow up to 3 days to errect & disemble and re arrect until you figure out how it all should line up.. A degree in engineering to assemble, would help...instructions absolutely useless...you need to write your own...literally! The quality flimsy...thin metal! I would never purchase again...decided not to send it back, due to the effort in organising people to help and finally get it up...the thought of disembling & trying to repackage it, just wasn't an option...filled me with dread! It was an absolute nightmare... When it's a windy rainy day it leaks...dreadful design....extremely disappointed....certainly not a cheap purchase...had to buy buckets and tarpaulins to cover the contents inside & catch some of the rain water, constantly pouring in...lots of items stored totally ruined, due to water damage....the sliding entrance doors refuse to meet up flush...rain goes through the gap....door handles cheap & nasty plastic...easy to break in...padlock waste of time... Not expecting it to withstand another Winter...such poor quality! The previous metal shed we had from a different company and far superior quality " Similar price & size" is still standing with zero problems 17 years on....sadly left it at our old house & couldn't remember were we bought it from...

This shed looks lovely put together in my garden, however it was not a lovely experience assembling it, in fact it was a right old pain in the you know what. Took 3 of us 3 days to sort it out, lots of cuts and bruises and nearly caused 2 mental breakdowns and a divorce! The panels are very flimsy and difficult to hold still while someone else is attaching screws, nuts and bolts and the instruction manual is about as much use as a chocolate teapot with lots of arrows and lines and unclear diagrams. In the end my husband went rogue and re-designed it himself rather than moving into day 4. He would like another one for himself now but twice the size. Me and my sister-in-law have already decided we will be too busy to help with that one 😂

I really think this is a brilliant shed for the money. Abit of a faff to assemble but it's square and sturdier than I thought it would be. In the middle of winter and no condensation inside the shed either which I was expecting with a metal shed. Instructions are good too. All parts are marked so you can assemble easily too. Really happy customer would recommend. I should add although I'm happy with the shed people could break into it (like they could any shed) so expect to buy a few extras to make more secure.

Watched a you tube video to build this. Definitely need two people to assemble. Quite flimsy and wouldn't recommend this as so many bolts and nuts to.fix

Not bad quality, materials have sharp edge but with caution working on galvanized sheets you'll be fine. The sidings aren't that sharp as I expected. Box comes with instructions step by step. The pictures below is what I've done in a day after 9:30am delivery so it will take you two days to put up with roof and doors. Light weight, When put up all supporting brace it's sturdy If properly filled instructions it's easy to set up as they already have holes on them to put screws. It comes with flooring base. If you love d.i.y this is for you. The size is exactly 13×11 feet.plenty of space for your beloved tools

I'm no slouch when it comes to putting stuff together. I've single handedly built a log cabin, complicated built in wardrobes and anything IKEA can through at you, so I wasn't worried about a small shed. This turned out to be my nemesis. From start to finish, I have sworn, cut myself several times despite the gloves they include, and I do declare this to be the worst buy in my 57 years on this planet. Firstly, it has 102 parts. Yes, 102 Parts! For something with 4 walls, 2 doors and a roof, that's a stupendous feat of over engineering. To join these 102 pieces of metal together, you get 204 tiny m4 screws and 102 tiny m4 nuts and bolts, as well as 288 washers. The thickness of the aluminium is micro-thin, to a point that it's razor sharp. When you're not cutting yourself, you're bending it. If all this wasn't enough, the instructions are more of a guide and you have to trust in whichever god or gods you favour to help you make the right choice. Why have A4 sized booklet when you could have A5? If, all this goes right and you get everything correct, you should immediately go out and buy a lottery ticket, as you're the luckiest person on earth. In the end, I binned the doors as they stuck, made noise and wouldn't open our close without me using a very sweary version of "open sesame" whilst using force. Not too much force of course as it's just thicker than tin foil. I've also put some felt over the top and stuck it down with felt adhesive, and I'm using it as an open bike shed. I think, if you don't have anything to hate in your life, that you should buy one of these to focus your aggression on. I used to hate the tories, now I've got this. Don't do it! Live long and prosper.

Delivery and communication with the seller was fantastic, csn not fault that at all. So... the building... the dase to be fare was pre prepared based on the dimensions stated. The shed was built (apart from installing the base) in 11 hrs. You can not do it with one person, I managed with the wife assisting with holding panels and so on. The big question... the down sides and problems. You need to be careful when building as the panels do flap about in the slightest dreaze. As some people have started the holes don't always line up? And I found this to de some what true however with a little muscle power, common sense and logical thinking this can be easily sorted. Once the shed is built it is pretty dam sturdy and will be good enough for most common usage.

Happy with the product but the metal is very thin. Internal height is much smaller due to the beams. Installation took several days and not the few hours estimated in the instructions. It was a fun DIY project and allowed me to store the things destined for. Mix feelings about the see through piece of the roof. You better view but in the summer it gets hot! It appears to be more sturdy then what it is, but as long as no one bumps it or a branch falls on it, it does its job and looks good.

Bonne qualité et facile au montage, livraison rapide.

Fait bien son travail de rangement!! Il a déjà eu la pluie un bon orage et pas mal de vent, il n’est bouge pas malgré on a l’impression que le métal soit très léger et fin, faut bien être 2 pour le montage et notice à suivre que avec le dessin (ne pas louper les passage si non galère) 4h à 2 est c’était monté. Je le taccole de pour le petit prix

Le montage prend du temps à cause du nombre de pièces, mais celles-ci sont toutes correctement étiquetées, ce qui facilite grandement le montage et rend le fait de suivre le plan plus facile.
