Duramax WoodBridge II PLUS 10.5 x 8 (8.02 m2) Plastic Garden Shed with Metal Foundation Kit and 2 Fixed Window, Strong Metal Roof Structure and Maintenance-Free Storage Shed, Dark Grey/Adobe

Duramax WoodSide 10 x 8 (8.02 m2) Plastic Garden ShedI purchased this shed when it was on sale for £600 and I am very pleased with it.It took my partner (who did most of the DIY) and me (helper) 2 days to build with plenty of breaks throughout the process.It comes with a detailed manual for assembly. We followed the manual to the letter and assembled the shed on a flat foundation (we used paving slabs), and the shed came out perfectly aligned. We had no issues with screw holes not aligning but did have to double-check some of the metal struts a few times to make sure we had them the right way around, etc.The metal frame is robust, but not until it is fully assembled. The roof struts are the strongest and heaviest, and very secure.The metal floor base has quite wide gaps between the struts. We used OSB board flooring but filled the gaps with 10mm gravel to prevent the boards from bending.The plastic panels appear flimsy, but when the shed is assembled, they hold together well. Assembling the panels is definitely a 2 man job as they flop around until the roof struts are in situ!We used a drill/screwdriver, set square, rubber mallet, spirit level, tape measure, ladder, and a silicone seal for the roof bunges.One mistake we made was on the shed panels' top corner edges there are plastic angled corner pieces, and we screwed one of the roof struts into the wrong hole in the plastic. It was a nightmare to remove! It took us over 2 hours. We tried every screwdriver we owned, the drill, and even a hacksaw blade as a final ditch attempt. All failed to remove the screw from the plastic. With everything failing, I used spray lubricant, which did the trick. Don't make the same mistake. The screws are indestructible!Overall, I am very happy with this shed. The only thing I will change is the door handles. They are not faulty, however, they don't appear very secure and I prefer metal over plastic. It is surviving the current storm with wind gusts of 52mph with no issues. It's not leaking!

Great product takes 2-3 to put together, especially on putting the sides up as becomes unstable with nothing firmly in place. Looks the part in the garden.

Ok, so I got the 10 x 8 foot shed and it took longer to put up than we expected and there were a couple of issues we had to overcome. We waited till we had some pretty good weather and little to no chance of heavy wind. It took two days with 2 people and the aide of pieces of wood and a spade at one point.Putting the base together was pretty simple and fitted together with no problem. One thing to note about the base though is that its really flimsy metal strips. When we boarded the bottom of the shed you definitely feel like they're bending and going to break. We have built ours up off the floor and I think it may have felt sturdier had we built it on the floor.Sliding the sides in and clicking them together was a bit tricky at times and we had a couple of side edges that were damaged so had to straighten them with some pliers to get the edge straight enough to click into the side panel next to it. There are thin metal strips you screw to the inside of the panels once they're in place, but to be fair, they didn't really make the sides feel sturdier even once they'd been attached. This is the part were we used pieces of wood and the spade to hold the panels up and not wobbling about as we proceeded to put all the sides together.Putting the roof and doors on was pretty straight forward and easy enough without a hitch. And once the roof was on and everything screwed together it shed it pretty sturdy. We had a bit of rain a couple of days after it had been put up and the rain water had got in round the windows a bit, so I would definitely recommend sealing round those.All in all I think its a pretty good shed, but I think they should make the metal base strips like the ones for the roof, the roof ones are much thicker, stronger and sturdier, which would be more appropriate for the floor. I also think having 3 or even 4 willing volunteers would have helped with the erection, especially with the big one.
