DuraMax SideMate Plus Pro 10' x 4' Outdoor Plastic Storage Shed with Double Doors

Took quite a while to put together and the material was a little flimsier than we anticipated, but it looks very nice and should be a good shed for our needs.

This was a great solution to our storage needs, and looks great up against our house with its gray vinyl siding. It was not difficult, just time-consuming, to assemble. You definitely need two people, and I'd plan on 4-5 hours of assembly time. There are a couple of errors in the instructions that took a little time to figure out. The materials are generally sturdy and the holes for connections line up nicely. Our biggest challenge was that the screw holes are slightly too small, making it very hard to get the majority of the screws in whether with hand screwdriver or power driver. We ended up drilling most of them a tiny bit bigger, and that really helped. A couple of the panels arrived with small cracks on the corners, but it didn't really affect anything. Important note: there is no floor as supplied, and the floor struts would be a real pain to walk over, etc. We purchased two 4x8 pieces of plywood cut to size (interior floor width is 45"; interior floor length is 10'3") and screwed those into the floor struts, and that was much better. We went the extra mile and purchased outdoor grass-style carpet and put that on top of the plywood, making it better for our grandkids to walk in and out without getting splinters as they get their bikes and scooters and the like that are stored in the shed. One of the two doors has bolt latches at the top and bottom: the top one works fine latching behind the metal frame, but the lower latch had nothing to go into, so we drilled a hole in the lower frame to provide more stability for it. Finally, we wanted to be able to hold the doors open (they are lightweight and catch the wind very easily), so we added eye-bolts on each side with small cords to wrap around the door handles when fully open. We put a shelf unit at one end and are totally satisfied with the shed now! Bottom line: it may work for some without modification, but we added about $100 in extras to customize it and felt that it made the shed so much more useful and nicer!

We have missing parts. Still waiting for it. Customer service said we should have checked all the parts before we started assembly. We've been assembling furnitures and stuff for 33 years, we haven't had anything with missing parts…maybe they should have checked the parts first before they packed it and before shipping

Constantly hitting my head to access anything in this shed.
