My son and I put it together in about 12 hours, taking our time.
An excellent value. Moderately difficult to assemble. Best if done by two people. Best assembled on a breeze-free day, at least until you have the walls secure. The corners are assembled from two panels. It would be better if they were a single formed piece. There is enough slop in the bolt holes that the two panels may not be flush at the bottom. Then, when mounted to the bottom frame, they will not be quite square. This will affect the entire construction later, making it difficult to align the screw holes. Other reviews have noted that the sheet metal screws are quite short, and they are, but I found them to be adequate. Now that it is complete it seems to be quite a sturdy shed.
Hundreds of parts, lack of pre-drilled components, not a one-man project ... made assembly of this shed overwhelming. Packet was short several washers, so progress was affected. Looks great done, but will never do it again! Not for someone with a short temper. Plan on taking 2 weeks.
I purchased this shed about a month ago to replace a very similar product that was erected back in in 1974. The shed is same brand but new shed has doors that open to the inside of shelter, the old design doors opened to outside. The shed was 8 x 10 but turns out to be 10' 4" by closer to 7' so not the same footprint but thankfully it still worked. This was a labor intensive family project. We were able to get it finished with approximately 50 man hours total at best estimate. We followed instructions to a T but were a sad this morning to learn it did not keep inside dry after last nights very strong rain storm. I am thinking of getting some clear rubber seal spray to spray the roof as the weather striping didn't do the job along the side seams.
Nice looking shed but mine rusted after 10 years. Otherwise holding up.
As others have noted, hundreds of tiny screws. The directions are not clear. The screws are optimistically supposed to line up with tiny, .05" pilot holes that never line up. I'm sure it was great in AutoCAD, and wouldn't be hard on a level concrete shop floor. On pavers outside, forget it. Requires two people on ladders inside and out. First you assemble flimsy, wind-sensitive walls, then framing, then roof sections someone over 6' can barely reach to fasten while trying to force align those tiny holes. The roof should be a separate assembly you can do on the ground and lift into place, not something you build in place with no structural support underneath. I'm a retired military engineer with 15 years experience building real buildings. This doesn't even rate as a toy.
