Lifetime 17.5 ft. x 8 ft. Outdoor Storage Shed - 60213

Awesome shed!!! I went with the assembly company to put together which they did in 3.5 hours. But I love this shed lots of room which that is what I wanted. Love the fact it's plastic So I can garden hose the floor and walls. And this is why I chose this shed for all the things I needed for!!!

Made in USA! As of today, my shed is 90% assembled. Not too physically difficult to put together but definitely need two people. I suggest using the assembly manual as a reference and watching videos on YT from people who have assembled them. It's critical that the base is level and solid. I really love the look of my shed. No shingles and no paint is a plus.

Although a little tricky and time consuming to build, you defiantly get a great sense of achievement having done so. A strong sturdy structure with plenty of storage space, be shelving or tool mounting hooks, you won't struggle to find a hook to hang a shovel. Take time to build it and you will marvel in it.

It was a bear to assemble, like the others said. We just got it put up, so time will tell on its durability. You should know going into it that screwing into plastic is only going to be so secure. Easy to strip some of the holes, even when screwing in by hand.

I would suggest you have the foundation of this shed put together before it arrives. If it sits out too long it will somewhat warp. You need 4 people to put it together and no breeze either. The instructions were a challenge to understand in some places. Never having constructed a shed before it took a few days to get it together. Make sure you get the floor down correct or it will mess the whole thing up!

Because the parts slide-lock into place, a professionaly built foundation is strongly recommended. We were still able to build the shed, but it took more than three people at times.

The storage shed arrived on the 12th with two assembling it took 12 days and a few call to the help center to complete. The finished product is very attractive.

Shed might be decent quality but the assembly instructions are horrendous!! I am extremely handy and very capable of following assembly instructions. But the directions here were horrible. I've built Cheap furniture from China that has better instructions and labeling than this Shed does.....shameful coming from an American company.

The shed is great, once it is built. The instructions are ridiculously long as in 117 pages to put up walls and a roof! It was not made clear in the description of the shed that a platform would have to be built separate from the kit, which incurred additional costs. It might be cheaper for someone to purchase a pre-fabricated steel shed of the same dimensions. After building the separate base foundation for the shed, I began to assemble the kit. The floor pieces appeared to be simple to put together and the diagram showed clearly how to do it. However most of this project requires 3 people to complete not two. After assembling the floor, I began to assemble the walls. The panels began to slide into place fairly easy and within a few minutes I made it down to the first corner. When I tried to assemble the corner using the frustrating instructions that it would simply slide and lock into place then press down to secure it, I found that the entire wall was off by half an inch. I had to disassemble the entire wall! Starting over I discovered that the wall panels don't slide and lock all the way in. It in fact requires using a block and a rubber mallet to nudge them into place, however it is easy to fold the edge of the panel when hitting it into place. After getting the panels back up I was able to successfully get to the corner and get it installed. Moving to the other corner, I was able to install it and move down the line with the other wall. At this point a slight breeze kicked up and knocked my first wall down and out of the grooves. I had to start over. This time I braced the wall from the outside and inside with boards. I put up the second wall again and both walls began to sag in and out with the breeze. I tied a few sets of string between the tops of the panels to the opposing walls and braced the walls with boards on the inside and out. That resolved the walls sagging and falling out of the grooves. I got the doors installed on the end, and moved to the doors on the side. At this point, I discovered that the floor panel that needs to hold the door next to the first wall panel, was put in backwards, despite following the instructions to the letter. It required me disassemble the entire shed again!! I did so and reversed the floor panel as needed, and repeated the steps above to assemble the shed again. After getting it together again and installing both sets of doors, I discovered that the poles that hold the doors up were described by the instructions to have one long pole and one short pole per sets of doors, however when the doors get installed, the side entrance set of doors requires short poles to hold it in due to the sloped roof pieces. So I had to disassemble the doors and swap out the poles. I put them all back together and all was well. I began assembling the roof panels. All went easy with some minor adjustments with a rubber mallet. The pitched roof section proved to be difficult to assemble over the doors as the arch panel was designed 1/4 inch too narrow and not seating fulling into place without leaving a one inch gap between the top corner of the door and the wall, but I figured I could just use weather stripping to fill the gap. The final piece needed to complete the shed was the roof skylight cap. Assembling the 20' long cap required the need for several stands to hold the entire thing up. It took three people to lift the cap up into place but once in place it assembled quite easily. After completing the shed I found in the instructions that the floor needed to be secured to the platform. This step would have been useful in the beginning of the instructions not the end. I also noticed multiple spots where light was entering the shed around the floor. I used a foam sealer to fill all the gaps and have a working shed. Now I have to figure out how to build ramps for the doors as my shed is on a platform that is several inches off the ground. This is a great shed, however it requires so much more work, people, money, and time to complete than the instructions would lead you to believe.

You will be very angry that you bought this shed. The company was very nice to replace all the missing parts but what a mess. Poor fitting parts, instructions with typos, blurry examples. Your happiest day will be when you decided NOT to buy this shed
