It really needs 2 people to put the shed together as the walls are flimsy. I tried to do the whole thing myself but needed a little help when connecting the walls. Overall, it's together, in place, and filled with garden stuff. Wind and rain are no problem, I've never had an issue.

First of all, O-M-G, You better be prepared to put this together!!! It took 9 hours, no breaks... there were 2 of us and sometimes 3, to hold all of the pieces while drilling at the same time! If you can afford to pay a couple of guys (who assemble things regularly), I would HIGHLY recommend that! We're used to putting IKEA, Walmart and Amazon DIY things together, but THIS was the MOST DIFFICULT thing (by far) we've EVER put together!!! Here's why: the worst of it are the screws, they are SO TINY (all 3 different ones that go in all places) that they REALLY play "heck" on your fine motor skills, so you end up dropping them (A Lot) and have a really hard time holding them while trying to drill them in, No Joke! And then you have to wonder, because they're So Small, are they gonna hold this whole thing together and hold the door on for the long haul... like, for a year or years to come??? Then they send a pair of gloves in the pkg of tools for a reason (but only 1 pair), so someone else, who may be helping, is at risk of getting cut by the steel edges... I learned that first hand! Was cut several times by the steel edges, very fine, SHARP edges! So have a 2nd pair of garden gloves or something similar for the other person on the hand that's Not holding the screws... Then, the steel panels are very wobbly/flimsy and thin (of course because the whole unit is not expensive and total weight is 74 lbs) so when you're standing them up and trying to drill in the bottoms and sides together with these tiny screws and drill them to each other and need 2-3 people to hold them while you're trying to also put these tiny screws through 2-3 sheets of steel and/or the frame or L bracket, it's VERY frustrating because you don't have a lot to work with and someone ends up holding up the panels or the bars around the top (which is the frame) for a long time which is grueling and tiresome! So, we did use the instructions and the video to make sure we did everything but some things were still "fuzzy"... like the bars on the inside of the doors, I took 2 pictures of them because the top one is put on correctly, but the bottom one is not, it does not line up with the holes in the middle... but nothing on the bar indicates top or bottom, you just need to make sure all of your holes line up. Then ALL of the roof panels hang over the edge of the shed, especially in back (by about 3-4 inches)... so again, you really need to look at your drill holes, because the directions or video doesn't do a good job of letting you know this. And then, of course, there's no floor, if you were wondering... so it's best not to put it on your lawn, unless you want to build a floor for it... we put it under our car port. So after all is said and done, I must say, it was still a good value for our money and it came out feeling really sturdy, not wobbly, the corners line up, the locking mechanism, lines up, the door lines up and feels sturdy enough and it was light enough to move into place! I ordered some metal glue that I'm gonna put on each screw, just because they're so small and I don't trust them to stay in place for the long haul, but you can do as you see fit! For now, it looks like it's gonna meet our needs and because it's way back, under the car port, it's away from the rain and most of the outdoor elements here in Florida.

For the price, this is a good shed.It took me 3.5 hours to build the second with help. I did it during the day(sun light), on a flat service and when it was not windy. I laid out all the screws and put all the washers on the self tappers ahead of time.My wife helped here and there. It probably would have taken 2 hours per shed had I had a 2nd person the whole time. I screwed while she held the nuts. Can you find a better shed? Yes, but even the instructions are decent. You don’t have to build the shed in place. I did put caulking under them and screwed it into its own level deck. Since I built two side by side, I bought a clearance sale package of wooden linoleum tile from a big box store for the top of the deck. I put metal flashing in the sides too to keep water out. I also put my own 12’ roof over the two the sheds to reinforce water not getting in.The first shed I did at night in the dark with decent lighting and mostly by myself.

Very confusing instructions. The screws provided are not long enough to attach the cheaply made product. I’ve spent two days with my father in law trying to assemble this. Now that we’re 16 hours into assembly we are realizing the parts are faulty. It will take hours just to disassemble in order to return it. I’m at my wits end. I would strongly recommend not purchasing this unless you have many hours to kill with several people and don’t mind purchasing extra hardwaythat will actually work.

It’s a great value and size (5x3) that isn’t very common and just what I needed but that comes with a caveat, it’s a tedious setup. If you’re not mechanically inclined, don’t have tools and somebody to help I’d buy something else. I managed to do it myself but it took much longer because I had to prop up pieces as I went using a variety of creative methods. The reason for 3 stars is the packaging could be better, had a couple of deforms in pieces but nothing major.First, there’s a protective plastic film on all of the pieces which is nice because it protects it in shipping. The bad part is removing it. It’s on there pretty good so I suggest you leave the parts in the sun to soften it so removal is easier. Be careful of the extremely sharp edges. They include these cotton gloves but they’re useless in my opinion. Wear gloves that have a grip and can stand up to the razor sharp edges. You will definitely need them as you are trying to get the plastic off. Once you manage to get all that off the assembly is next. It’s not hard but you do need to pay close attention to the pictures and pieces to make sure it goes together right. I think a couple people can do it in 3-4 hours, it look me several because I did it solo. It’s a nice sturdy shed when done but you will need to spend your time to get there.

The media could not be loaded. I’m updating my review from what it was to 5 stars because I have everything in the order here now.This shed is too short for me and I wanted to add some height. So, I framed out the bottom with 2x6” lumber and raised it up 3’. I then reinforced it and wrapped it so it ties everything together. I also reinforced the steel sides so that it’s more sturdy since it is up in the air 3’ vs on the ground.I’m also building a barn style door with a rail to open and close a door due to the specs.Either way I saved a lot of money doing it this way vs buying something of this size at the local store or having it built by a pro from scratch.Great for what it’s worth.
