Missing pieces and dents everywhere.

So. I got the 6x4 shed, and I was almost dreading recieveing it due to the negative reviews on here, but I needed some extra storage and didn't have a huge budget for it. Keeping the price in mind- I am absolutely thrilled with it.The packaging was really sturdy, and was also extremely heavy. Without a helper, you many struggle to get it where you need it for assembly, but once you start pulling the pieces out they are rather light.I used a couple pallets and some old scrap plywood as my base, placed on my already level concrete patio slab. You start with the bottom frame and then move on to the four corner pieces. It was slightly breezy, so I did need to throw a few screws to connect the bottom frame to my base just so it didn't blow over.Wall assembly was a breeze. I did most of the assembly solo, except for a few times where I needed an extra hand holding a piece in place while I got a few screws in it, like the top frame.I'm pretty pleased with the quality, I did need to bend a few pieces back in place on the corners and there are a few dents and dings, but it was $175. There are some little gaps and eventually I'll get some foam or something to fill them, but again, $175. The roof and the doors were a little annoying, just getting the pilot holes lined up and what not, but....$175.Definitely wouldn't bother with peeling the protective film off each piece, it would take ages, and really once it's assembled and you're standing back looking at the little building you just slapped up, you don't notice.I did this mainly solo in about four hours. If you have trouble lifting things, or holding things above your head you may want a helper.At the end of the day you get what you pay for- don't expect a small metal shed that costs less than $200 to come together like a $1000 shed would. If you have a small budget and just need an enclosed space for storage this is a great option.

Actually very easy to put together. Not step by step clearly worded instructions, But you'd have to be not paying attention to get more than one thing wrong. Everything lined up pretty easily. Some holes were a little less lined up but some pushing and tugging goes a long way. There was slight damge to the corners of multiple pieces but some pliers straightened them out well enough. Not enough damage to drop a star. Don't go too hard on tightening the screws or you'll strip out the aluminum. If you do happen to have a screw that doesnt seem to tighten just right some flex seal spray meets the water tight requirement if you so need it. I actually flex sealed every screw because I'm just that kinda person. Very great shed. Very easily moved so I would anchor it down if you live somewhere with high winds.

Excellent Customer Service — They Made It RightI purchased two 10x12 metal sheds from Patio-well. When one of them turned out to have significant issues with the dimensions not matching what was advertised, I was understandably frustrated — especially having already paid a laborer to build a platform floor sized to the advertised specifications.What followed was a customer service experience worth recognizing. When I clearly laid out my situation, my concerns, and what I felt was a fair resolution consistent with their own return policy, Patio-well listened. They provided prepaid return shipping labels and offered a $670.66 refund — exactly what I had asked for and what their policy supported. No runaround, no lowball settlement forced on me, just a fair outcome once we got on the same page.Resolving problems like this fairly and promptly is how a seller earns long-term trust, and Patio-well delivered on that. I'm actually considering purchasing their 12x20 shed based on how this situation was handled. A seller willing to stand behind their product and make things right when something goes wrong is a seller worth doing business with again.If you're on the fence about buying from Patio-well, know that if an issue arises, they have shown they will work to resolve it fairly.

TLDR: Good shed, hard to put together.It’s doable… if u have patience and a sense of humor.Good shed for the price! I read the reviews, so I wasn’t shocked when some screw holes didn’t line up. I told the guys to "just screw it"! Man, were they happy! Luckily, the metal is thin enough to just power through. Panels bend easily… and thankfully un-bend just as easily (by hand). Wear the gloves they give u though, we all got scratches. Instructions say it will take 2-3 hours to assemble... LOL! It took us about 7 hours with a rotating crew of 2–6 guys and one very patient woman deciphering the instructions, which are 99% just pictures. No words, no explanations. Expect to redo a few steps when u realize something’s upside down five moves later. Character building. Take deep breaths. Patience and a sense of humor are certainly required. But hey, it’s a big roomy shed, and it survived a rainstorm on day one. Not bad!If u take the plunge, here are some survival tips:Holes: Don’t panic when they don’t line up, especially at the base. Just… commit. Some line up, some don’t.Rotation: Pay very close attention to which way the holes face. The instructions won’t always tell u - u must feel it. JK, they do tell u, but it's so small and seems unimportant at the time, until it's 5 steps later.Panels: Some roof panels are stuck together like they’re in a toxic relationship. We thought pieces were missing, turns out they were just clingy.Washers: Guard them with ur life. Not every step needs them, and if u waste them early, u’ll be making a late-night hardware run questioning ur life choices like we did.Screws: They will feel too short. They’re not, u just need to push harder and believe more. Also, u’ll end up with extras, because of course u will.We did try contacting support… they did not try contacting us back. Luckily, we found the “missing” panels, so crisis averted.
