Shed In A Box as an astronomy observing hut I purchased the Shed In A Box to use in astronomy. I tried several tents and none worked well. Then I discovered Shed In A Box and decided to give it a try. It was a good move. Shed In A Box is made of steel pipes that all fit together easily and they stay that way even when moved. The covering is made of thick and strong plastic that so far has weathered heavy rains and wind. The only problem I see when using this as just a shed to store equipment is that rain can run under the bottom edges and get the ground wet underneath the stored equipment. But in most cases this is not a problem. My use for my Shed In A box is in astronomy. It is just the right size for one person to move. With it fully assembled I can pick it up and move it to where I want. It does a great job protecting me from the elements. When it is very cold I go inside and with my Heater Buddy I am warm and cozy. My telescope is just outside the enclosure with cables running between the two. Shed in a box is easy to assembly. I assembled the whole thing in about 2 hours. Since I move the enclosure each time I observe I had to make some modifications. I added braces across the bottom of both the front and back to maintain the correct size and to make it more rigid. To make it more air tight I modified the way the covering is attached. I am also adding a window in the front so I can see the movement of my telescope when I am inside. This enclosure was designed to be in fixed position with stakes in the ground. But using it as an astronomical hut works great. I can walk into the enclosure and stand up without hitting my head. I am 5 foot 11 inches tall. It will accommodate two observers with their equipment very comfortable. Since I am not using Shed In A Box as it was intended I lowered the rating to 4 because there were modification I had to make to suite my needs. As for using it as a shed to store equipment like lawn mowers, I would give it 5 stars. I also talked to customer service at ShelterLogic and they were quick and very helpful. If you need is just to store garden equipment this is a great choice. In my case the use is different and with some modification it is a great choice for astronomy observing. It is a great buy.
Great shed Great price and ships free. I received this in 3 days even with the free super saver shipping. I have it in my back yard and plan on leaving it there. No leaks, spacey and its anchored down with 15 inch auger stakes (included). I bought the 30 inch auger stakes for it on amazon so its not going anywhere. No problems during storms I have it between the side of the house and privacy fence. Vinyl is thick and set up was rather painless. Good idea to make a floor for it if your going to have it up for awhile. I set some bricks down and put cheap ply wood on that for the floor so things won’t get wet. I have had it for 3 months now and I recommend this product.
Quick assembly, will work exactly as I need it to for my motorcycle Overall Im impressed at how easy this was to set up after reading what seems like horror stories in other reviews. Overall it took me about an hour to set up (just me with no help), in soppy ice melting soaked ground. So It should be about the same for anyone to assemble. Directions were straight forward. READ THEM! Verify your using the correct number pipes in the correct spot prior to assembling and you should be fine!I did some minor adjustments on the ratchets after I had it assembled as I didn’t get the side and top cover exactly centered. Only took a few additional minutes to do.I have a small Kawasaki Ninja and it BARELY fits! My front wheel makes a bump on the back wall to make it fit. If I had it to do over again I would have probably gone a little bigger. I found a 6x8x6.5 L,W,H but it was $169 and an additional $65 to ship on the site I found it on. Couldn’t beat Amazon’s price of $129 and free shipping, so I went with the 6x6x6.Unfortunately this doesn’t come with any type of floor. So a tarp, plywood, or something is needed if you aren’t in a dry environment. I used a mix for now till spring when I will build a floor in it that raises it above the piping and will be my tie down all in one. Speaking of tiedown, was excited it came with 15″ tie down (the manufacturer states they are only used for temporary tie down and need to upgrade to the 30″ if it’s a permanent set up). The down side, the tie down simply wouldn’t go in the ground! It’s 3 days of above freezing temps in northern indiana, and the ground is apparently to cold and hard to get the tiedown into the ground. Then again I tried a post hole digger and only got 3 inches in before hitting the hard stuff and not getting any further. Moral of the story, don’t plan on tying it down if your putting it up and the ground is still frozen. Blocks are working temporarily for now.Built well from what I can see. Material is top quality and can see many years of use from the shed.Only real down side I see is no real way to secure it. I’d think even a lock on the zipper to the frame or something would be a deterant to keep the nosey kids in the neighborhood out of it, but doesn’t seem to be doable.
