Duramax TOP Pent Roof Skylight 8 x 6 (4.86 m2) Metal Garden Shed, Made of Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel, Strong Reinforced Roof Structure, Built-in skylight for sunlight, Metal Storage Shed, Woodgrain

Having spent weeks researching which shed would best suit my needs, it became apparent that the majority of retailers sell one of two makes of shed - both of which had significant flaws identified by buyers. On discovering an alternative - the Duramax brand - the reviews were much more favourable. Coupled with the immediate availability and excellent service of Amazon, I decided to give it a go. What a pleasant surprise awaited!The shed was delivered within a couple of days, rather than the many weeks you'd expect from other sellers. So far, so good!On unboxing, the components were well packaged. The instruction booklet was clearly illustrated and highly comprehensive. Each component in the box was numbered for ease of identification. Even the instructions for constructing a base were highly detailed!Although most of the job of putting it together could be done by one person, there were certain aspects that definitely needed two people, so make sure you've got someone to give you a hand.Once built (a job that took a couple of days), it looked fantastic! I'm very, very happy with the quality, price and ease of build, and although it's not yet been tested for its weatherproofing, there's no obvious reason to doubt it.I am a genuinely satisfied customer!

Spent a while trying to find the right shed with the best reviews. Came across this one and reviews seemed good so I bought it and I'm so glad I did! Instructions were very clear, was easy enough to put up, did take all day with me and my dad and you may see we missed out a step (forgot to put on the facing for above the door, that's what I get for letting my dad read some of the instructions for me without his glasses) the only thing I wish it had was a floor but other wise I can't fault it really! Oh and do use gloves while putting it up like instructions say or you will end up with shredded hands like mine! This is the 8x6 anthracite shed and I'm so happy with it! Generous with screws etc all holes lined up so was very happy about that as I read some reviews for others sheds and people had drill new holes etc! I did buy different roof tape to put on as the stuff given didn't seem good enough and may need to weigh it down as it's kinda light! All in all though, a great shed and would recommend!One more bit of advice I wish I did was organise all the parts before building, would have made life much easier and make the build go quicker!

I've got myself a waterproof shed (eventually) that is a real bargain. Follow the instructions closely. Try to do it on a day with no wind of you are alone. Gloves help because there are some sharp edges. There's nothing heavy in any part of the shed.Use a cordless drill/screwdriver, even a really cheapo one will be good enough. Have the torque setting (number on the dial) set low, everybody's tool will be different there, so that the screws bite but don't just spin because this will effect the waterproofing later. Magnetise the bit or buy magnetised tips or bit holders. A magnetiser/demagnetiser is a great item to buy and only costs a few pounds.Make sure every screw or bolt that is on the outside has one of the little fiddly washers. When screwing 2 panels together and the instructions aren't particularly clear always make sure the bigger hole is the one the screw goes through first.Get the ground as level as possible so the doors work properly and look neat. They are generous with the screws, nuts/bolts, washers, end caps etc so not like Ikea here. :)The instructions aren't quite as clear as Ikea BUT backtracking after a mistake/misread is not too hard. Every item is marked, some with a sticker and some are stamped. If you have the space then it saves a lot of time sorting the pieces out by item code. The sticker isn't an indication of which way up you use the panel. I made the mistake of thinking if the writing is the right way up then that's the way to install the item.My build is waterproof the doors close perfectly. I had to slightly bend back some of the edge trim that sits just outside the door, I think I caught these with screwheads or something. It looks extremely smart and is a nice wide doorway, the doors slide very smoothly. The holes for your lock are 1cm circles and they are 9cm apart. I haven't sorted out a lock yet. The only tools I used was my cordless drill with the screwdriver bit, 1 screwdriver a 7mm socket (easier than a spanner) 1 small hammer to tap the point protectors that stop you shredding your hands on the exposed screw tips once the build is complete. I wore gloves for some parts but I'm not good with tiny screws, nuts and bolts with gloves on. The nuts are really fiddly. If you put 2 nuts in the socket and gently spin it then the bolt will easily pick up the nut so you can tighten it, you'll see what I mean with a bit of practice.One huge problem was that the top joint on the roof is only protected by a thin roll of tape. There is a trim above BUT it is so high above that you can easily put your hand between. This is not good enough an that's why I knocked a star off. Luckily I ha a tin or roof repair tar for a different job I need to do on my house. I tarred over the tape with a brush and got a strong waterproof seal that will last for years and years. If you buy that same tin then make sure you mix it really well as the lovely smelling resin floats to the top. ALSO wear gloves and clothes you don't mind getting manky because it's a messy job.Give yourself a day to do it, get another person too. I'd have struggled on my own. The roof is near impossible alone AND I had to go off plan there. I couldn't do it in the order they give. My work platform and ladder were good BUT I'd have had to lean over a crazy amount to do it their way.I also bought a bike shed from the same company and they look great together.

Myself & my nephew put this togetherWe built a 6x8 plastic grid base kit filled in with gravel and then constructed the shed.The four walls took around 3 hours & then another 3 hours for the roof and doors.The panels are quite wide, so go up quickly - 4 panels to the rear & three to the sides.Out of 500 screw fixings only 4 did not line up - brilliant engineering & design.Goes without say to follow the instructions closely.Try to avoid constructing on a windy day as it will flap about until the walls are up.Gloves are essential due to sharp edges.Tip - the letter stamping of the parts can be quite hard to read so spread them out & mark everything up with a marker pen for speed.You'll need a sturdy ladder for the roof - I'm over 6 foot & had to reach for a few of the roof screws.All in all delighted with it!

Heavy pack x2 as mostly metal with many!! screws; assembled alone but easier with 2; does not come with a base!! Is available on Amazon though.Good price.

Caseta de buena calidad y estéticamente creo que es la más bonita,El montaje no es sencillo y necesitas unas cuantas horas pero las instrucciones vienen muy bien explicadas y van todas las piezas numeradas.Estuve mirando varios modelos y marcas antes de comprarla y me alegro de haber escogido esta.

Utiliser pour ranger du mobilier extérieur durant l'hiver sur ma terrasse il est parfait.Il m'a été livré chez moi en un seul paquet de 80kg en excellent état et dans les délais prévus.Si le prix est un peu plus cher que d'autres ça vaut le coup l'aspect est agréable il est étanche.Prévoyez de le poser sur un endroit bien à niveau pour ne pas avoir de souci avec les portes coulissantes et surtout si vous avez 2 mains gauches mettez des gants (non fournis avec) pour éviter de vous couper mais avec un peu de soin nous avons fait sans et pas eu de coupures.La notice est claire et détaillé en pas à pas.Pour le montage déballez tout classez les éléments selon leur code (le code de certains éléments est un peu difficile a voir quand il est graver un simple feutre noir pour le rendre plus visible sans chercher au montage et le tour est jouer). Je mesure 1.60m pour 55kg et ma compagne est un peu plus grande sans être un super bricoleur elle encore moins nous n'avons eu aucun souci de montage. Ce n'est pas un travail de force mais plutôt de précision et avec un peu de logique te de soin aucun soucis.Etant dans un endroit abrité je ne l'ai pas fixé au sol sur mes dalles de terrasse mais la visserie est prévue et si vous êtes dans un terrain plus sujet aux intempéries diverses un kit de fixation est recommandé dans la notice (à acheter en plus).Un simple tournevis et une clé plate, un escabeau et une petite table de jardin pour assembler quelques pièces ont suffit (oublier les tournevis électrique qui vis trop à fond les vis tournant ensuite dans le vide). Il suffit juste de faire un "puzzle" en regardant les images et en prêtant attention au sens des bords de pièces.N'oubliez pas la petite pièce longue au dessus des portes avec l'étiquette Duramax avant de mettre le toit elle passe un peu inaperçu sur la notice dessin 32.Pour ajuster correctement ne vissez pas a fond les pièces sur les extrémités et vissez en croisé quand tout est en place refaite un tour et serrez toutes les vis quand la base est montée idem pour les côtés. A aucun moment nous n'avons eu a repercer car il y avait assez de jeu pour que les trous prévus soient alignés. Ensuite idem pour le toit, n'oubliez pas la bande goudron avant de fixer le haut et mettez des gants quand vous enlevez les plastiques de protections sur les parties avec aérations se sont les plus coupantes. Enfin nous avons refait un tour de vis pour ajuster le tout comme pour les autres parties du montage. Pour les portes montez tous les éléments dessus, et posez les en dernier en prenant soin de les montez en vous appuyant sur les côtés afin que les bords verticaux s'emboitent au bons endroits sans quoi elle ne se joindront pas correctement sur les côtés.Sans stresser nous avons mis une journée et demi pour un rendu vraiment top maintenant reste à voir dans le temps... mais vu le revêtement ça devrait bien résister.Il me reste à vous souhaitez bon courage en espérant vous avoir aider au mieux.

Sehr schönes Gerätehaus für Garten

Stoker une tondeusemais... Si pour le montage pas de problème, les problèmes arrivent quand il pleut, la plate-forme est trop grande pour le chalet, quand il pleut l'eau qui tombe du toit s'infiltre dans le chalet, ou plutôt inonde le bois, les portes bien que fermées l'une contre l'autre laisse passer la pluie, obligation de mettre une corniere comme couvre joint ansi qu'un revêtement autour du chalet pour récolté l'eau, n'est pas constructeur qui veut,..

Puntuali, istruzioni di montaggio comprensibli, solida più del previsto. La ricomprerei
