Lifetime Lockable DIY Polyethylene Outdoor Storage Shed, 11' x 13.5', Tan & Brown (6415)

Nice size and went together well. Took 11-12 hours for 2 guys to put together. Only disappointing this is that the roof is not water tight. Had a heavy rain the next day and there were spots of water on the floor from the leaks

I bought this at the beginning of the summer to store my lawn mower and yard tools. My son & I put it together fairly easily. The last roof sections didn't line up perfectly, but seem to be ok. We'll see how it goes after our first snow. Be sure to read the instructions before you tackle this project. It will really help!

This design was simpler than the one I put together about 2 yrs ago but the instructions are still very poorly written. You really need someone with mechanical aptitude and at least one or more persons who are at least 6 ft tall. I would also recommend having at least 2 people, 3 if possible, working together. Equipment needed should clearly indicate scaffolding or a pair of step ladders. There was no mention of the parts needed to secure the roof supports. Had to buy 48 screws and plumbers tape to secure the support rods, there were holes in the roof for them, but no parts and no instructions so again, someone with mechanical aptitude is priceless. Once completed, it is a very attractive shed that I believe will last for a long time. I did secure it to a concrete foundation so short of a Tornado I don't think it will be going anywhere. Arrived in 4 boxes totaling over 1000 lbs, boxes varied in weight, recommend laying boxes flat to avoid damage to shelving. Free delivery was greatly appreciated, driver was awesome and went above and beyond what was promised (end of driveway). Arrived sooner than promised as well.

This storage building was well manufactured. There were four large boxes of parts, but all fit together well. Impressed with quality for the money. Only drawback is that I wish description would explain that a concrete slab or base frame must be constructed to put the building on. Would definitely recommend this product.

Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. I bought this shed last August, and I'm happy to have done so. There are many pages of instructions, and MANY bags of small parts, and many similar looking shed components--somewhat of a drawback. I built it in my spare time over two weekends, plus some time during the weekday evenings, with help from my 13-year-old son. It was a good father-son project. A surprise was the floor. I knew it came with one, but it was not sturdy. Poured concrete would make the best base for it, but the instructions note that a 2x4 floor frame covered with plywood would work, as would a well-smoothed and packed fine gravel/dirt base. I went with the wood. There were no surprises during setup, although some of the instructions could have been rewritten to improve clarity and comprehension. Some parts look much like others, and we ended up using the wrong parts in some stages and had to remove them because they were required in later steps. When finished, this shed looks great and feels solid. During a snow & wind storm on Christmas, a large conifer fell squarely on the shed. The trunk of this tree was about 14" in diameter. One branch broke through the roof and held the tree there. It wasn't too much trouble to cut off the overhanging part of the tree, then cut the trunk, and finally slide the remainder off the roof. The hole made by the branch was about 2" wide, and some caulk and a temporary wooden plug fixed it for the winter. Now I just have to order a new roof panel to replace it. I'm happy with this shed, and wouldn't hesitate to purchase another just like it. The tree hitting the shed weighed several tons, but the shed didn't buckle or bow or move--a testimony to the steel supports in the walls and roof.
