Very strong shed We purchased this shed and did the site prep after we took out the included floor (some sheds don’t include a floor)to confirm sheds footprint. Everybody knows a shed is only as good as its base. Like any other structure, if the base isn’t level doors won’t close properly and parts won’t fit right. I had already leveled an area in the garden and put the base together with some wood we had on hand. The shed took two of us several hours to put together. Only complaint was some of the bags weren’t labeled but it was pretty easy to figure out. As far as reliability, we just had some immense thunderstorms come through our area and not a drop of water in the shed. We haven’t anchored the shed to the base yet (the shed has the ability to be anchored in the corners – great idea) but even in the heavy winds it didn’t budge and we haven’t even filled it yet – just some garden pots and a shelving unit in it. Overall – very pleased with purchase. The reinforced roof trusses seem very sturdy and I’m sure will come in handy in the winter with any heavy snows we have here in the northeast. I also like the vent for air-flow. I only wish I had room for one of the larger ones as I see some of them have a window or skylights but I am very satisfied with how this shed will free up alot of space in my garage.
You get what you pay for. I bought this shed because it was cheap…and that’s exactly what I got. You need either a cement pad, or extra wood totaling $114 to complete the base. The whole thing is hard to assemble. The roof doesn’t attach well at the top. There are gaps that let the rain through. If I had spent $2000 on an Amish shed, they would have come, done the site prep and installation and I would have had a good shed. As it is, I have a partially functional peice of plastic that ended up costing about $2000 when labor was included. Don’t waste your money.
