6' x 6' Shed-in-a-Box Metal Peak Style Roof Portable Outdoor Storage Shed for ATVs and Bulk Storage Items, Gray

This is my third Shelter logic shed. The last one I bought in 2008, gave to bro in 2012 and he's still using it. It's very faded, has some mouse holes in bottom, but he lives on a farm, and it's in direct sunlight most days. So based on that, when I needed a temporary shed for new mower while waiting on garage build...it was a no brainer. Again, instructions aren't the clearest, it's a PITA to put up (especially solo), you'll swear at it....but once up, you'll swear by it. Bro looks forward to getting this, new to him, shed in a few years :) I'll probably keep this, build it on a concrete base with a 4x4 bottom frame, 2 layers high, and keep it til I leave this blue marble. PS 6x8 would have been plenty for a lawn tractor.

Frist off, it’s a well-constructed unit with good quality parts. And assembly is straight forward; I did it myself in a few hours. The concern about it constantly falling apart during assembly was not my experience even though I did follow some of the recommendations to ‘tie’ it together. Was clear to me that these temporary ties were not needed due to the sung fit of the tubing. Here are the tips I suggest based on my experience in installing this at my seasonal campsite. Step 6: post squaring up the frame in Step 5, mark where to place the anchors inboard a about 4 inches from the corners at a 45-degree line from the comer. This way the anchors will (when attaching the securing lines) both ‘pull’ the frame side to side and front to back. Then move the fame over a couple of feet to install the anchors. New Step 6A: place back the frame and square it up again. Now take 4 spikes (not included) and drive them thru part 800361 which is the ‘foot’ of the frame. There are holes in this part including one at the top and bottom that will accommodate this spike and still allow the rachets in later steps to attach. The spikes will now hold the frame in place nice and square while installing the canvas. Given this you can skip over (not do) the loose wire ties to the anchors in steps 6a thru 6e. Note that I consider the supplied anchors more then adequate for my conditions. Step 7, 8 and 9: the “i” are simply telling you to NOT put the poles inside the sleeves and to NOT pull out the strap. The canvas ‘wraps’ around the frame and when you pull on the straps as you cinch it up. It will make sense once you do one panel. Step 8 and 9: you will need to pull apart select tubing joints for the straps. Having a rubber mallet will both help to get them apart and put the back together again. Step 11: the supplied rachets, while adequate, are fragile and finicky. One of mine was bent up (due to shipping damage?) so I had to pull it apart and straighten it out. Also, if needing to release the strap once tightened you may have to assist it to unwind. A screwdriver in the ‘slot’ of the wrapper core will assist in that. Additionally, the straps are too long (better then too short!). I found that cutting off about 6 inches per end left enough to properly wrap around the rachet but not fill it up to the point of overflowing and binding up. And do not forget to use a lighter to melt the end so it does not unravel. Step 11a. the hook of the rachet goes into the hole in the foot on the interior. The outside holes are for the large tarp that is installed in starting in step 12. Step 14: when placing the overall tarp and starting to tie it down, it is easy to have it too far forward or backward, so take your time and adjust as you go along. I measured the amount of ‘warp’ on the front (both left and right side) and same on back and got it as even as possible. Was about 5”. Step 14a: when putting the 2 tubes together pay attention to the holes on each end. They need to line up. While this is shown in the diagram, was not an obvious highlight. Step 17a. while the measurement shown is about correct, understand that the height and position of these cross beams dictate the both the location and the tightness of tarp. If one crossbeam is too high the other too low will result in an uneven wrap of the tarp. Once I centered the tarp, I loosened the clamps (part no. 13202) slightly and then tapped down the crossbeams with a rubber mallet to get the necessary tension. Step 18: I snaked the wire tie between the end of the crossbeam and the upright pole fishing it thru the clamp (there is room). By doing this the hold down wire is ‘trapped’ vs. being able to slide along the cross beam as it is shown in18e. Also, I fed the wire differently thru the wire clamp; i.e. instead of it being as shown in 12d. I fed the bitter ends in thru it in opposite directions. Then, after slightly tightening the nuts and using Vice-Grips, I was able pull it tight and then fully tighten the nuts. And this is where, if the anchors are at that few inches of kitty corner, it really holds the whole shelter in a good and tight fashion. And key to this are the spikes in new Step 6A, i.e. the spikes will keep the frame from pulling in when attaching the wire ties. Post all of this, need to check to ensure the door zips up without stress or being too loose. If so, pull out the spikes in the front and adjust as needed. I also when around and readjusted the rachets as needed. Overall, as great product that I expect will last a long time! UPDATE: Follow up after a couple of months, but it’s been like a couple of years! This was installed at my campsite in the Adirondack mountains in upstate NY where, like the rest of the country, we have been experiencing extreme weather conditions. Like those labs where they test things under extreme conditions to evaluate how it will hold up in the long term, we have had extreme winds as well as rain and unseasonably cold conditions this summer. How's it doing? Short answer: it like the day it was installed! Still sturdy, no rips, still taught and zero water inside (the ground can get wet from water running under it via the rocks). Recall also that I used the supplied “temporary” anchors > they were just fine for my soil conditions, but I did use spikes in the tubes as part of the set-up process and left them in. Updated from 4 to 5 Stars as a result! Door Tip. I continue to enjoy this shed but found it a little awkward to roll up the door and bungee it open > it simply does not roll up too easily. Fortunately, the bottom of the door has a pocket and a 1” PVC pipe fit it like it was made for it. And Presto! Now rolls up like a dream and easy to put on the bungees. I put end caps on the pipe after cutting it to length to keep out the critters. Note of caution: when unrolling it, guide it down to preclude it from falling and jerking the door which may eventually damage it. I used schedule 40 PVC but would have preferred schedule 10 as its slightly lighter but there was no availability in my area.

Quality product, tarp is thick and overall this is very sturdy when assembled. Anchors are very snug on the grass/firm soil I installed it on. I got the 10x10 size and worried that I should have gotten a bigger size, but this is much roomier than I expected. I fit a 46” zero turn mower, a push mower, a 28” snowblower, a pressure washer and a kids jeep/power wheels in this shed with room for more. With that said, the other reviews mentioning that this is difficult to assemble with poor instructions are correct. Wasn’t a deal breaker for me but definitely something to consider if you don’t consider yourself a handy person. I had many of the same issues as other reviewers. Instructions overall are just hard to follow. They use very few words and instead try to explain everything using pictures that aren’t very good. Part numbers were smudged off like others mentioned. Annoying but this can easily be worked through. You’re assembling 3 identical frames and 4 crossbars, so as long as you can make out the part numbers on enough pieces to build one of each, you can figure out the rest. There’s a lot of backtracking when assembling this. Do yourself a favor and read the entire instruction manual before starting. There are many screws that need to be only hand-tightened so they can be removed later. Again, they oddly try to explain this in pictures rather than just writing “hand-tighten only, you will need to remove this later” 5 star product if you don’t mind spending an afternoon scratching your head while you build this! Update: Nearly a year later and still holding strong. Made it through a Northeast winter just fine. Had over a foot of snow on it multiple times with no issues. Eventually slides off and even with snow piled 4 feet up the side walls, the material did not rip or stretch.

I bought the 10ft x 10ft x 8ft for $240 with Prime Shipping. There is no QC person at ShelterLogic. More than half of the poles were labeled with numbers, but the ink was smudged so bad, I couldnt read it, my neighbor couldnt read it, and my wife couldnt read it. I called Amazon, and explained my issue. Amazon, said it would cost me $40 for return shipping because of this issue. Amazon, told me to call ShelterLogic, which I did, and they put me on hold 4 times at 15 minutes each time at 60 total minutes of wasted time. They said exactly what amazon said, "It will cost $40 in return shipping, and the smudges on the pipes, is not a reason to return the product." So far: I have a $240.00 shed, that I can return and lose $40 on. The customer service at ShelterLogic, wasn't very helpful, and refused to refund the tent for free, they did apologize about the smudges on the pipes, but refused to take the shed back, unless I paid $40 in return shipping due to weight. So I decided, I would build it. The instructions says it will only take 1 hour with 2 people. I had 2 people and it took me 3 hours. The pipes are cheap, you have to hand tight everything, do not overtighten, because there is a million and a half steps in this thing, requiring you to put certain joists together. then apart, then back together again. Some of the bolts they give you are not long enough to secure the joists together, I had to go to Lowes to buy screws long enough, I had to buy 8 total at $0.25 each. Don't get me wrong, after it is set up, it looks very durable with the heavy duty cover over it, the structure system is very durable, but how durable can it be with cheap pipes? If you tighten too hard, it will bend the pipe, if you don't tighten enough, it will wiggle loose, wtf, paradox. I felt it was completely unfair, that Amazon/ShelterLogic didn't attempt or offer to refund my purchase, because of "horrendous smudged labeling on the pipes." I felt that I should've been refunded/exchanged with a new one. With the numbers being smudged and the worst instructions on the planet. Amazon, shouldn't sell this model "10ft x 10ft x 8ft."

Loving it so far. A great option for storage outside my studio. Planned to build a wood shed. Which would have been expensive, not looked too nice (as i was going cheap), and time consuming. This was a great last minute option before fall and winter hit with Northern Californian Rains. Will update this review if the shed begins to crack or rip at any time. I mention this as it has done this with other customers. (see the reviews) But i have decided to chance it and see for myself. It is currently under a redwood and doesnt get too much wind or sun exposure. I never needed to stake it down with the heavy duty stakes that are offered with it (which is great, but you must dig into the ground). And thus far no problems. I have all my boxes inside it on pallets and nothing has gotten wet. Setting it up was not as difficult as some describe. The labeling of parts tho was incorrect at times. And i had to just guess it a few times on what to do next. It is best to take your time and divide up all the parts into piles. This took almost an hour alone. Then my father came out and helped put it up and i believe we timed it at 2 hours. Not bad. Very satisfied. Update: It has held up great in a very wet winter in northern California. When first putting it up, in my haste I used heavy duty camping stakes to tie down the shed. Well that was brainless! So it did blow over in a windy storm. But it went down a short hillside and was perfectly intact. Very impressed no poles were bent. And thus with help of 3 guys, we placed it back in its spot and used the heavy duty screw in ground stakes it came with. That took sometime to get done as the shed is on hard, rocky ground. Now I have two long extra 4x4s on its flap sides for extra hold. So far so good! So many reviews were negative but I am impressed and happy!!!!

The finished shed/shelter is a good product that should suit our purposes very well. That being said, there is some serious room for improvement on the basic parts design. There are 3 different bolt lengths that are only about 1MM difference in length, which would be fine if they bothered to bag them separately, or mark them in some way... but they all come unmarked in one bag. We had to sit and compare each one and sort through them before we could start. Then, in reality, there are very few places where the bolt length mattered. The posts/pipes come in a crazy number of lengths, some tapered, others not. Why they could not be more standardized is beyond me. Each pile has it's own numbers so you can find which one is supposed to be used next. The next problem was that very few of the numbers were actually legible. Most were either smudged or misprinted like the printer only made 1/2 contact. Sorting the posts became a longer process than it should have been. Some piles had 0 posts with legible numbers, so we had to figure out which was which. Sorting the various parts took almost as long as the frame assembly did. One tip: they tell you to assemble the 3 sections using a ladder, but if you assemble it upside down then 2 adults can easily flip it over, and no ladder is required. They show you that the legs on the ends are supposed to be 8' apart, and 11.4' corner to corner. After being almost all done it is clear that is not right. The measurement they need to add is how far apart the corners should be on the same side. I had their measurements dead on, and I could not connect the bottom brace bar because they were too far apart. now I will need to pull up 2 of the screw in anchors to fix the preventable issue. Tarp Installation: So let me get this straight. Not one person in your design team could think of a good way to install the end tarps without requiring me to take apart the sections I have already assembled? The ends aren't bad, but the picture instructions are really poor, and unbolting something you had previously bolted 7 steps ago is frustrating. The top they tell you to put in one bar, then drag the trap with a rope over the top...but the picture shows just one gap for the bar, when there are two. Also, pulling it that way is taking a chance of ripping it. Then the instructions get really bad when you are supposed to apply the second set of ratchet straps. It looks like you are supposed to take off the first ones, but you are not. A picture of the finished product showing the ratchets would be very helpful. All of that being said, it is a good product. Would I buy it again? Maybe, but only if I can't find something easier to assemble.

I believe this shed to worth its price tag. To me, that warrants 5 stars. Last winter during a wind storm it even found itself on the other side of the fence in the neighbor's yard, partially on their roof. Not even exaggerating. As soon as we realized what happened, I rushed over with an extra hand, 'rolled' the shed back over the fence to my side. Structurally, the shed held up nicely. The support bars needed to be re-tightened and aligned, and there were a few rips from a sharp rain gutter corner that pierced the roof and one side, but nothing that wasn't easily patchable by cutting to size the extra material given to you in the box. Although, I'll admit I didn't see the extra vinyl until after I repaired it completely with Gorilla clear duct tape. The key to creating an extra strong repair bond with regular duct tape is to press the tape firmly into the vinyl then apply moderate heat with a heat gun and press into the vinyl some more. Warm-to-hot duct tape becomes a few times more stickier and reliable, especially when you're asking for it to be 'weather-proof'. I also had the shed weighted down by 4 x 15-20lbs sand bags, so I decided to tie a 5 gallon Culligan water jug to one corner to make certain even a hurricane would have issues blowing this shed away again. I also sprayed throughout the tent, some insect/spider repellent/walkway stuff and it also remains pest free as well. Hope this helps. UPDATE 3 YEARS LATER: I purchased 2 more of these 10' x 10' sheds. I 'incubated' my growing handcrafted furniture company out of my house and these sheds played a significant role in offering more usable 'shop space' outside on my back patio. Essentially, I was playing the real life game of SIM WOODSHOP in my backyard. Without these sheds, we wouldn't have been able to increase our production output and thus promise shorter lead times and thus lock in more sales and thus have enough money to hire top-tier local talent and thus continue to grow the company enough to be able to move out of my living room / single car garage / back patio. Yes, it was indeed as silly as you are imagining.

The parts and cover of this product are precisely cut and shaped. Quality is excellent with some exceptions. I have an engineering background and I've assembled hundreds of items like this over my lifetime BUT, the assembly of this product was THE most frustrating experience I've had in many years. You need to have abundant patience because the precision is high and there's no room for error. Even though the manufacturer recommends two people to assemble I did it myself. Unless you have a partner that is intensely interested in understanding the instructions they would be minimally helpful. I would definitely not recommend doing this with your spouse - you may end up dodging flying tools. If you have a tendency toward profanity you'll need to keep children and neighbors out of earshot. I had to walk away from the process several times to cool down enough to resume. It took me about 8 hours to complete the assembly. When completed it was excellent. Would I buy it again? No. I'd definitely recommend it to someone that I find annoying, like the neighborhood know-it-all, but not to a friend. Here's some tips; (1) sort all of the bolts out by size - the length difference it not noticeable enough to dig them out of a pile. When the instructions call out a specific length it's for a good reason. The hardware count is exact - if you have any extra hardware left over you need to find out where it goes BEFORE you put on the covers. (2) Put some tape over the tubes before you slide them into the pockets - the ends of the tubes are sharp enough to cut the plastic. (3) If you can mount the frame to a floor of some type or concrete pad do it. Otherwise you'll spend a few hours of time walking around it moving legs back into position as you work. (4) Watch out for the ratcheting strap tighteners. They look like the tie-down straps on a boat trailer but they're poorly built, worse than any I've ever seen. (5) Watch the YouTube videos on assembly. UPDATE - It’s June 2018 and it’s pretty much as good as new. It would be as good as new if I hadn’t launched a chunk of aluminum angle through the side while using my chop saw. However I patched it with duct tape (which color matches exactly). I changed my mind, I will be buying another one but I’ll hire someone else to put it together.

Sehr fest. Wind- und Wetterbeständig. Bei dem großem Weidezelt sollte der Hersteller noch Klettverschlüsse anbringen innen, da bei Wind die Wände sehr stark "schlagen!". Mit Klettverschlüssen wäre die langfristige Haltbarkeit auch sicher noch besser. Ansonsten sind wir sehr zufrieden und kaufen sicher weitere.
