8 x 12 FT Outdoor Storage Shed, Large Metal Tool Sheds with Updated Frame Structure and Lockable Doors, Garden Shed for Backyard Garden Patio Lawn, Grey

I read the reviews and ordered with trepidation. It arrived in two separate boxes on separate days. Upon cracking open the instructions I understood the reviews saying the directions were awful. But hold on, they are not that bad, just not as clear as they could be. You really need to pay attention. I suggest you indicate the front of the shed on every page because it does change and if you don’t catch it you will end up with gapping sides etc. then, take your time. Every time I had to take something apart and re-do it was because I did not pay attention to the details in the assembly directions. I ended the project with 5 mismatched hole locations for screw attachments. The company support email was very quick, same day or next and always followed up with me. In the end I simply drilled new holes where there was a mismatch and all ended well. I have one lingering issue and that is with the ridge cap. It has a twist in it - in the metal, so it does not sit flush on the roof. I have plenty of fasteners remaining, so I thing I will simply add some to the ridge cap. I would purchase this shed again. It is an amazing value and worth more than the price. It took my son and I three days to assemble, two of those days being half days. I am very happy with the end result. Go for it, go slow, pay attention to the drawings and you will be fine.

I would give zero stars but obviously can't. The instructions are easy enough to follow but there are steps left out. Once assembled the entire building is out of square and the doors do not match up to close properly. The entire process took well over 10 hours to complete. I had to use a rivet gun and rivets. Self tapping metal screws and had to drill new holes. The ridge cap is cheap, flimsy, and looks horrible (I added screws to make it look as good as possible) If I had known this in the beginning, I would have immediately returned the entire building and framed one from wood and made it durable. I wish I could get a refund for time and effort wasted. To make it weather proof will need to spend at least another $75-100 to seal things. Unfortunately with that the doors will still not close properly therefore some items will not be able to be placed in the building.

I bought two of these 6 months ago. I wouldn’t buy a metal shed that I had to build again. The instructions on these were a bit unclear so one shed has a 1/4 in gap between the doors so it won’t close or lock. The second one turned out much better. I put these on a few pallets to keep above the ground in case it floods. I spent about 1/3 of the money for these than I would have on a single wooden shed pre-built by a local reputable company. I still like these just not love them. And I regret spending the money on these.

Was easy to build, but the instructions are not clear so it is easy to get parts put in backwards, I knew I got some backwards when the screw holes didn't line up. Also I reached in over the roof and put some extra screws to hold down the roof peak.

Be careful assembling and look at the drawings very carefully. Look for screw holes on all sides of the metal supports and rails. They are not identified very well in the drawings and you will ultimately assemble, disassemble and reassemble many times, as I did. Some parts did not fit together very well, and it's obvious why they include a drill bit to facilitate some modification. Wear the gloves provide, to reduce cutting your hands. Shorted on the plastic washers, but I got by. All in all, a value for the money, took me many hours to assemble. So whatever ever you were planning for time, better at least triple that.
