Flower House SHXL800 StorageHouse Walk-In, XXL

Got this for outdoor storage in the Cali desert.Pros...price is great for the size. Not bad looking. Set-up by two women, one with a technical brain, the other tall (you need someone at least 5'8" to help set up the middle top). Shipped fast.Cons...outer bag had a hole in it, which doesn't affect the tent, but wouldn't expect a new item to have a hole. Directions are vague, just 1 sheet with pics. Set-up in minutes - was more like 60 minutes for us, and we have set up other tents before. Some of the seams tore a bit when staking, but we will tape the heck out of those, then spray the whole thing with tent kiwi spray for added protection.Tip...before setting up, feed cords provided through the top hooks on front and back (these are additional cords for staking)...once the tent is erect you will need a ladder to feed the cords through if you haven't already done so - a minor annoyance when you think you are done.Would not recommend setting up in extreme weather (heat, wind, cold) 'cuz you will probably get frustrated. And seeing as two side seems ripped while staking, I wouldn't recommend this for valuables, but should be fine for plastics storage bins, most yard work tools, etc. Eager to see how it holds up during the predicted El Niño 2015/2016. Will update after a few months of wind and rain.

Ordered this in the Summer to store a bicycle and some odds and ends.It is perfect for the purpose!I did make somewhat of a sub-floor by putting down some treated lumberI had left from building a fence and put a tarp over that before puttingthe storage unit on it.We have since had some pretty hefty storms (one with winds over 50 mph)and the shed/tent held up perfectly (I should mention that this is Floridaand we know to REALLY tie things down because of frequent storms. I madesure to put the stakes into the ground at an angle with the bottom 2/3actually ending up under the sub-floor).Getting ready to order another one for the lawnmower, etc.I did deduct one star because the unit is a hassle to set up.Those folks who said they had it up in half an hour must be body builders.Ended up asking a neighbor with major muscles to help get the ribsinto place. Neither I nor my handyman nor combined effort could getthat done.

It came in the mail yesterday and I put it up this morning. I was able to put it up myself but it was a lot more complicated than I expected it to be. The instructions were helpful but only barely. The construction seems decent although it either came with a couple of tiny holes at one spot on the back or I should have put it together inside on the carpet so as not to wear holes in it while putting it together outside. I do think it would have fit through the door.So far I'm pleased with it. It's nice looking and fits the space I had for it perfectly and holds everything I need it to hold. It's easy to get things in and out. Hopefully it will be durable enough to last for a while. One of the reasons I bought it was that it wasn't as expensive as some of the hard sided storage sheds but it certainly wasn't cheap.

I recently moved into a temporary living arrangement and needed to store a lot of boxes. I didn't want to store my boxes at a storage facility because of the cost. And I didn't want to construct a metal storage shed to take up residence at a house that wasn't mine. So when I saw the Flower House Storage House I thought it was just what I was looking for.I have been using it for about two months now and it is perfect. It holds a lot. I mean a lot. I am storing 25 medium sized boxes, a TV, several trash bags full of items, some other loose items like brooms, fans, etc., and I still have room to walk inside. I set it up on an outside patio which is covered across the top, but rain still gets to it. I am happy to say that it has withstood southern California rain and wind. Now the storage house did get wet, and I could see the wetness on the outside of it. But the items inside stayed dry.The setup was simple and made sense even if there has been no instructions. The bottom is made out of pretty tough material, and the rest of the shed is made out of a lighter weight but still sturdy material. It is a nice looking storage house, and I like the fact that when I no longer have use for it, I can fold it down and store it away in a canvas like drawstring bag that came with it. So I will have a portable storage unit that I can use again if need be. Not bad for $149.00.Pros: Easy to assemble, sturdy, holds a lot, portable, reasonably pricedCons: Nothing***UPDATE***Okay, we just had a week straight of torrential rains in southern California. There was literally a small river flowing around the front of my Flower House storage house. We haven't had a rain like that in quite a while. And I honestly did not expect my items to be dry. Let me tell you, after the seventh day of rain I went outside and unzipped it and looked inside. All of my boxes were absolutely dry. I am extremely impressed. I feel I have gotten more than my money's worth. This was a good purchase.

While the product is nice enough it is a lot smaller than it was supposed to be. I thought I was getting a 6x6 shed but in reality it is 5x5 and not big enough for the riding lawn mower it was intended to house. It got a little dirty (gotta love the birds) after set up and my husband feels we can't send it back so I guess we will have to find another use for it. If you need to be sure that you are getting the right size you might want to try another brand. This one is made well and looks nice but it is WAY smaller than the manufacturer claims.

Well I've had this a year now. I live in Southern California where it's in the hundreds in the summer and we've had three pretty bad El Nino storms with high winds. And this shed is still standing strong. I've had no trips the zipper door works just fine. All in all I would buy another one. My only complaint is the instructions are horrible. Once we figured out that you had to get inside in order to put it together it only took about an hour that's my only complaint. I would recommend this to anyone.

At first I was like WTF but after only an hour she was up and ready to use does the job great with very little work. I put it up myself if I had someone could have been done in 15 minutes you can even look the door with a small lock not included

very nice
