Palram Canopia SkyLight Shed 6x5 Durable Storage Tan

Very good product, read several reviews before buying and delighted with product. In my opinion, this is definitely a 2 person job to get the structure built and you will struggle on a windy day when trying to slot the panels into the frame. Instructions are excellent and clear with all parts clearly numbered to ensure you use correct ones at each stage. I've read reviews saying they had screws missing but the bag supplied had 1 or 2 spare screws/nuts/washers for each size. Only items not supplied are fixing bolts for bolting the shed onto whichever surface the completed shed sits on, i.e. wooden frame, concrete base, etc.Once built product is quite sturdy and more than serves it's purpose, the skylight feature is an excellent idea and works well. If you're looking for an extremely robust shed to use as a workshop etc then maybe look elsewhere, however if you're looking for a storage area for garden tools, lawnmower, BBQ then this is ideal.

The existing reviews were very helpful. It is definitely a 2 person job. My son did the construction while I held panels in position while they were fixed. The panels appear very flimsy until they are used with the aluminium frames. The ground that the hut is to stand on needs to be smooth and level as the floor is the same thickness or THINNESS as the sides. If not, the frame will not be square and difficult to secure. My son made a wooden frame as a base and this was easier to screw the base to when constructed.I would have given 5 stars if it wasn’t for the fact that there were odd screws missing.( Luckily my son found replacements in his toolbox.) Also some of the numbers to identify each piece were difficult to read as they are etched in the aluminium.Take time to identify which way up the pieces of frame and panels go and look carefully at the diagrams which aren’t always straightforward.It took us all weekend to make it but some of that time was buying the wood and constructing the wooden base. Other than that, once in situ, I’m very pleased with my new hut. It looks neat and, unlike my old wooden one, won’t rot!

I bought this shed after having a wooden one for several years. My thoughts were that I would buy a metal one to save me painting it every year and it would be a less of a hassle in maintaining it. The shed looked really good too.Once it arrived, it took two of us all day to erect it. The panels do look flimsy but I thought it should be fine. Whilst putting the shed together, a friend of mines was passing by and warned me that it would damaged in the wind as his in laws had the same shed which was damaged. I ignored him and said it should be fine.On the first windy day of the winter, this sheds metal beams were bent,making the panels and the door useless. I tried to fix it but the beams were too damaged. I contacted the seller on amazon and they advised me the 10 year warranty issued does not cover 'storm' damage when in fact it was not a storm but just a windy day which damaged this flimsy shed. I think the manufacture classes rain and wind in Scotland as storms.I would highly recommend anyone who is thinking of buying this shed to re-consider and purchase something more sturdier than this good looking but very flimsy shed. You will just be wasting your money as you, just as I will be. replacing this with another shed in a matter of time.Very disappointed to have spent £440 and not even get three months out of this product.I hop Amazon itself looks at this kind of mi-selling.DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

A very smart and robust shed. I have had two wooden sheds in the past which rotted, were dark, damp and more expensive than this. It came in two small parcels and I wondered if there was another missing - but no it was all there. Took me 2 days to erect on my own. It is basically an aluminium frame (much like a greenhouse) with polycarbonate panels instead of glass.The roof lets light through so it is nice and bright inside. I thought it might be noisy in the rain but it isn't - no more than the old shed. It can be bolted down if needed though I didn't bother as mine is sheltered. We have had some very windy and stormy days and it has not moved.Security wise you could get in with a screwdriver as the screws for the hinges are on the outside, but I don't lock mine anyway and this could be easily fixed by using rivets and better hinges if you wanted to make it more secure. The polycarbonate panels are tough as is the aluminium frame - all in I think this would be harder to break into than a wooden shed - I demolished my old shed completely in 5 mins with a wrecking bar, this would take much longer.After purchasing this I would not buy a wooden shed again.

Bought this shed because it was reasonably priced and only needed it to temporarily house washing machine, temporary bit went out the window, still in use, been up now for about 10 months, live in West Wales, so do have some pretty nasty storms, last one was hitting 80 kph, sustained damage around property, our flimsy looking shed, took it all, I'm only writing this review, don't do many, as impressed as hell with it, and it still looks brand new after 10 months, think it says on ad you can hit it with a hammer, haven't tried that, but personally their not exaggerating, great product 👍👍👍

This shed is incredibly flimsy and doesn't look like it will survive any bad weather over winter. The plastic walls are very thin and bend with the slightest pressure. The doors are so light, they bend when trying to shut them. I do not recommend at all. Not worth £400 at all.

Found this shed very flimsy, it took 2 men 7 hours to assemble. I'm hoping we dont get any strong winds. Dont think it was worth the money.

Hi, I rarely write reviews but thought I would write one about this item.1. I put the shed up by myself (66year old). Having two people would make it easier but it is managable with just 1. As I had the 10x6 shed, a good tip is prep the long pieces and doors which need to be assembled prior to erecting the shed. I started at 10:00 and finished it at 17:00 with 2 tea breaks and 1 lunch break. I did not find it phisically demanding.2. I created a good foundation to put the 10x6 on using flagstones.3. I still have to secure it as it is a very light shed. I built it against the side of a wall but could move it out quite a bit to put the roof section on that was against the wall then moved it back in and completed the other part of the roof.4. Since it has been erected, it has not rained so I need to check how good it is against a good downpour.5. The only negative thing about the shed is the lock, it can be easly broken into and in my mind on ofers restricted entry not secure entry but as I live in a resticted area, I am not overly worried about security.6 I really like the look of the shed and especially as it will be maintenance free. I have priviously owned two wooden sheds but these continually need maintenance.7. I will give and update after the shed has weather a good downpour.

Sehr schön,aber der Aufbau ist etwas kompliziert.

Cet abri nécessite la confection d’une dalle ou un patelage bois de niveauL’ensemble est léger et se tient bien une fois assemblé.Effectuer le montage à deux un jour sans vent en 5 h

Dieses Häuschen ist mit etwas Geschick alleine in etwa 2-3 Std. aufgebaut. Die Ebene, worauf die Hütte steht, sollte eben sein. Dann braucht beim Zusammenbau nichts gedrückt oder gebohrt werden. Alles passt!Meine anfängliche Skepsis bezüglich der Stabilität hat sich schnell gelegt. Die Beschreibung ist super und alle Teile sind markiert.Alles lässt sich gut ineinander stecken und alle Löcher sind gut mit Schrauben zu versehen.Fliegt etwas auseinander, wie von einem Anderen beschrieben, kann es nur daran liegen das Fehler beim Aufbau gemacht wurden.Diese Hütte hält wirklich was aus!Sie ist dazu auch noch sehr schön!Meine klare Kaufempfehlung!Klick "Hilfreich" wenn ich helfen konnte.

Sehr leicht, trotzdem nicht wackelig, Anleitung zum Aufbau sehr gut, Aufbau in 3 Std., sieht sehr schick und wertig aus

Wir haben dieses Gerätehaus vor längerer Zeit bestellt und ganz naiv gedacht, dass wir das auf etwas geglättete Erde stellen könnten. Das funktioniert aufgrund der Größe und des Materials leider nicht, der Boden muss schon ein Fundament haben (in dem es am Ende auch verschraubt werden muss). Nachdem das erledigt war, haben wir das Haus vor ein paar Monaten aufgebaut und seitdem steht es ohne Probleme. Zu zweit waren das mit einlesen ca 3 Stunden Arbeit, allerdings hatte ich die Schrauben vorher schon sortiert. Eine Anleitung fehlte (online gefunden) und drei Teile fehlten auch, die aber für die Funktion unerheblich sind. Diese werden noch nachgeschickt, meine Anfrage an Palram hatte ich erst die Tage geschrieben. Insgesamt sind wir sehr zufrieden, lediglich die Türen schleifen etwas, da haben wir beim Aufbau nicht genug aufgepasst. Und sind die Schrauben einmal drin, geht da auch nicht mehr viel zu korrigieren. Wir können es dennoch uneingeschränkt empfehlen, es ist groß, halbwegs schön und bisher hat es die Herbst-Stürme auch sehr gut ausgehalten. Man darf sich von den einzelnen Teilen nicht abschrecken lassen, wenn alles steht kommt die Stabilität. Ein Schloss ist nicht dabei, lediglich die Riegel um eins zu befestigen. Für uns kein Problem, aber zur Info. Versand erfolgt per Spedition mit zwei großen, schweren Paketen. Bei uns ziemlich unfreundlich gewesen, aber das ist ja immer Glück oder Pech. Hielt ca 10 Meter neben dem Haus und lies sich nicht überreden, ca 20 Meter zurück zu unserer Garage zu fahren. Naja, musste ich halt schleppen...
