Patiowell 5x3 FT Outdoor Storage Shed, Tool Shed with Sloping Roof and Lockable Door, Metal Shed for Backyard Garden Patio Lawn, Brown

I watched 10-15 videos of people taking several days with help. I did it in less than a day, plus a couple hours after work pre-building the roof beams, wall tops, and building, squaring, and screwing the base down to the platform I built.You need to be organized. Build the big complicated pieces first have them ready to go on. Use a tool belt like carpenters use and keep the bag of screws and plastic washers in it. Read the instructions a bunch of times and pay attention to the locations and which way things face compared to the base. The only thing I had real issue with was the top most part of the roof, and if I had a better ladder I'd have wedged a couple of 2x4s under the beam and put them on after getting all the panels on. Lifting one up from the center where it was attached was a pain, if you need to do it put one more panel on first. That being said despite seeming flimsy it's well designed and once it's all together it's VERY solid. I'm going to frame out a couple walls inside so I can add wood so I can hang stuff and lean things against the wall without worrying about denting it, but it's not needed for strength. I might add a little reinforcement just because we sometimes get a lot of snow and I don't feel like shoveling a roof etc.The bad: the door latch hardware is a joke. There is a gap so rain can pass through the center, I just added a strip of folded drip edging that I pounded flat and used the extra provided screws on the back of the fixed door (with latches on top and bottom). The fixed door latches are good. I also added screws along the edge of the roof, you don't even need to drill the screws they provide are very high quality and if you just want to add a screw here and there you just line it up where you want it and bump the back of your driver with your palm, the tips are sharp and will give you a bite enough to drive it through. Also they give you plenty of extra hardware.All said, I'm very happy with the shed. It's strong, looks good, the plastic on each panel really is just extra protection and I figure if it starts to peel from the sun it will be easy to take up piecemeal. Do your prep, have a good level surface for it, square your base well before you get going and pre-build everything you can, having the wall tops, roof beams, the peak of the roof with vents already installed and the braces etc. That made it a breeze. Once you get the corners up with one panel on each put your upper walls on get it all screwed in and you'll have it together in 6 hours.

Nice little shed. The metal is very light. This is good because it made it easier to set up, but it really could have been a bit thicker for durability. Instructions are pretty good but could have used a bit more detail in spots. Also I still can't figure out what "Internal Input" means on a couple of steps.You'll probably want to secure this to whatever foundation you put it on. I'm also going to get some good to seal up some holes and gaps.

I bought this shed to replace a wooden shed that was falling apart. I am 76, have limited use of my left hand and still was able to put this shed together in 8 days. No one else helped me. I did lose half a day be having to fix a problem I created the day before. Instructions could be a lot clearer but it was adequate. I would purchase this again.

Instructions are vague. The metal is very very flimsy but goes together pretty easily on the bottom. The support bars for the roof are longer than the shed because the shed itself was not 10 by 12 but 9 ft 10 inches by 11 ft 10 inches. So the beams on the roof are too long for the shed. The ends of the shed that the beams connect to that have the vents are so flimsy they are comparable to flashing in thickness. They won't hold their shape when you're trying to put them up at all. If you are looking at it from the standpoint of integrity and strength, it fails in so many ways. I would NEVER order one of these again. I pretty much ended up buying bits and parts and had to build my own shed. IF that shed was in school, it would get an F hands down. The only thing I was even partially happy with were the beams that were too long for the roof! They were somewhat sturdy. But there were holes that wouldn't line up, other holes that were predrilled for who knows what reason, and it would be really nice if there was writing explaining the directions ALONG WITH the pictures that you can barely see. UNHAPPY UNHAPPY UNHAPPY all the way around from the shed not being the size advertised, from the flimsy tin, the screws and bolts were a laugh, plastic washers were also so not hilarious. Don't get this shed, just build one from wood and put metal on it. Way more frustration than its worth.

All these sheds that look the same, are the same. They all are very thin metal and I expected some bent panels . There were several and they were not from shipping. They were from the factory. They even give you protective gloves for bending them back. The instruction book was pretty detailed and easy to follow but I've build mant things like this. A first timer might think twice. You really want to have a drill driver. There are a lot of screws. Be careful not to strip them out. Do not assume that just because pieces look the same, that tgey are. Take your time matching the numbers and layout to the directions. I had to do a few things over. Overall, it went together pretty good. I'm glad it went up against my house as I think it needs wind protection. I bought this brand because the ad said it weighed more than the others, but it doesn't. They are all the same. It works just fine for me, I got what I paid for and expected. The plastic sheds I've had, all warped very quickly.
