BEST SHED I EVER OWNED !!! Ok, so let me start out by saying that we searched all over the internet and local hardware stores (Lowes & Homedepot) and this was the best price on Amazon, due to the free shipping and no tax.We ordered it and waited for delivery, which was a pretty reasonable time, since it is direct from the manufacturer. Took about 7 days to get here from the order date. When it arrived it was on a rollback truck and one guy unloaded it. It comes in 4 boxes (instructions are in box 1 of 4). The boxes took up about 1/4 of my one car garage. So make room somewhere.1) Decide which type of sub-floor you are going to do: concrete, wood, gravel. We did wood (4 x 6 joists every 12 ” ), on cinder blocks, with a plywood base. REALLY STRONG!!!2) Lay out all the peices in all the boxes, organize them in to piles of like peices together. Then just follow the instruction book, it is VERY well explained. We varied a little (didn’t assemble the roof frames till we actually needed them)but pretty much stuck to the plain. It is broken down into sections, so you can go little by little if needed. I loved how it told you all the parts, screws, and tools you would need to do the next section. Assembly took two people (my husband & I) about 3 hours. But we work really well together, so don’t get upset if it takes you longer LOL :)3) Two weeks after assembly and it is holding up very well. We have it all organized inside, using the shelves that come with it (plus a workbench my husband made)and wired (he’s an electrician) with outlets and ceiling lights. We had a strong storm the other day, and not a drop got inside.Well, that’s about all I can say, except it really is the BEST SHED I EVER OWNED !!!!*******UPDATE*********It has been a year since we bought and put together this shed. It has held up remarkably well. I am surprised at how dry it has remained inside.My husband keeps all his power tools in it and never have any of them been damaged. We are located in Southern Louisiana, so it’s hot & moist. The exterior has not faded (which is amazing, considering the sun) or molded (which is even more amazing, considering the humidity down here). We have had several storms with high winds (enough to knock over our magnolia tree), but the shed had not moved an inch off the foundation. I think that has to do with how well we screwed it down to the solid wood platform we opted for.To sum up, a year later, and it is still THE BEST SHED I HAVE EVER OWNED !!! 🙂
Great Shed This is a great shed. I was worried about buying something of this size online, but everything arrived perfectly. This is a massive shed, and the center access makes it really easy to get at your items on either side. The headroom is excellent and some items can even be placed on the metal trusses.Foundation:I placed the shed on a concrete slab. Having a level surface is key to installation.Installation time:Installation took about 7 hours (3 people; 2 active, 1 on instructions). The labeling of the parts was not the best, different number indicators are on some part bags vs. what is referenced in the instructions. This made it more difficult, but we worked through it.Other thoughts:I have had the shed up for nearly a year and it has been great to use. It has weathered summer storms and an ND winter. There are tan skylights lining the top, vent-able windows on the front and vents at the peaks of both sides. The flooring is nice and seems like it will hold up well. The included shelving also works very well. If you are concerned with how far the doors swing open, they don’t swing all the way flat to the shed, but do swing past the hinge by about 30 degrees.
Recommended with caveats Some people have no problem throwing things away. My wife is not one of those people. When the house filled, and the garage filled, and the attic filled, and the two existing sheds filled, I had to choose between buying another shed or paying for monthly storage. I needed the maxi-sized 15×8 shed. I want to recommend this shed with some caveats:1. Make a solid flat foundation! It is absolutely critical! I used exterior plywood, on top of pressure treated risers, on top of concrete trenches. The shed bolts down to the base, so it can withstand high winds.2. GET HELP! It was a daunting project for one foolish man. It really is a two-handyman job.3. The instructions were very good, with a few update-glitches. I could not get hold of customer service to iron out these technical glitches. But all the parts were there, and it finally came together with some backyard engineering.4. The shed-material absorbs heat from the sun. Here in California, it gets very very hot inside! OMG. If you need a cool interior, forget it. But if you can locate a heat-exchanger in your shed, it will seriously heat water. I guess it would be a perfect shed in a cold environment.
