8' x 12' Metal Outdoor Storage Shed

I was missing a few small parts. Seller replied to my shortage promptly with question on totals to reship. Also I've read comments here..and we must remember this is the least expensive shed available. Fit is fine. Finsh fine. Misaligned holes, just run the screw in..theyll center. What I did do was purchase stainless #10 washers to spread holdown load. (Box of 100 $4.50) but that's MY..prefepreference. I purchased machine screws and nuts for corner posts. (Top and Bottom.) Also Machine screws and nuts for doors AND (tapered head) for hindges. Again this is MY preference. Idk..$20.00 for peace of mind.

This outdoor storage shed is perfect for my backyard. It’s a good size for storing tools and garden items. The metal feels strong and safe. The sloping roof helps water run off, and the door can lock, which is great for safety. It looks clean and fits well in small spaces. Took some time to build, but it’s worth it. Very useful for outdoor storage!

Pay extremely close attention to instruction booklet. Look where certain holes are, and on what side they are on, same with notches on certain pieces to make sure orientation of piece is correct. By paying very close attention, all holes lined up for us very well. A couple were slightly off, but that's because the base had gotten a little out of square while we were assembling. Use drill on very low setting to reduce chance of stripping screwholes. For roof screws, I went back and replaced all screws that are exposed to rain with self piercing screws #10x1" size with the rubber washers that are designed for metal roof. I used the #10 size because they were very less likely to strip out while tightening down to lightly compress rubber washer. Any size smaller diameter than #10 will most likely strip out while tightening to a watertight seal. You can get by just fine using 3/4" long screws. I only used the 1" because tractor supply was out of the #10x3/4". Make sure the metal base is perfectly square before attaching any sidewalls. If out of square, you won't realize it until you're almost finished screwing one full side of wall together. Once base is square, I recommend screwing or bolting to floor or slab or whatever type of foundation/floor you are using so that it won't come out of square while assembling. We only had very minor dents on some pieces of metal, but nothing that we couldn't push out with thumb or bend back easily with pliers on a multitool. The packages are handled multiple times during shipping, and I'm sure that's why some pieces had dents and bends. I don't blame the manufacturer for that. The 2 or 3 hours that the book says will take to put shed together might be true for people that do it for a living and know the order of parts by memory and have a rhythm down for install, but for us it took around 12 hours to take our time and make sure everything was correct so we wouldn't have to go back and redo anything later. That time includes the unboxing time and laying all of the pieces out with all same numbered parts together to make finding the parts quicker and easier. We sealed the outside of the base that makes contact with the floor with 100% silicone and used screws through base to floor every 1 foot on the outside. Also sealed corners of base with silicone and all 4 sides of each air vent on the inside of the shed. After sealing and replacing all roof screws with the #10x1" self piercing screws with rubber washer, we have had zero leaks. There was a small gap in between the 2 doors, but with some hinge adjustment and some very small bending of door frame piece, the gap is closed. The plastic that comes on each piece of metal is not worth the time to try to remove. We left the plastic on and you can't really even tell that there's a layer of plastic on the outside. Looks very good. Enjoyed putting this shed together and for the money, I think it's worth it. I did have a helper, one is definitely needed for a shed of this size (8x10). 4 start rating is only because of the small diameter screws for the roof. The nylon/plastic washers for the screws that came in the bag don't seal well due to the fact that if you slightly over tighten the screws, they will strip the metal and then have no compression to seal hole. Screws that are a bigger diameter would work much better to come from the factory in the box. They do fine for the sidewalls, but need bigger diameter with rubber washer for roof.

I would not recommend this shed given the shrink wrap. It took me 10 hours to remove the shrink wrap and about 8 hours to do the assembly. The assembly had several issues with holes not lining up. There were also a few large holes that the provided screws did not fit in so I had to buy the required screw. The instructions are just OK but not terrible. They dont provide enough close ups for certain parts. There was no hole for the locking door peg that goes into the top rafter, I had to custom drill myself. The assembly required me to drill several of mine own holes so if you take this on you will have to be comfortable with that. After I completed it I realized it would have been cheaper, based on my time, to pay more for a wood one with installation. But lets talk more about the shrink wrap...It is the cheapest type and will not peel off in one piece, it was dozens of small pieces I had to deal with per piece, like an orange. The wrap also goes all around the piece- including behind it -so you cant possibly get if off given all the contours. It constantly tears. You will need great fingernails to have a chance vs this stuff. I contemplated returning this after the first couple of pieces. The worst part about it is that they don't need to even have the shrink wrap as the packaging would be fine without it. It is so difficult to get off I probably damaged and scratched it more attempting to get it off. The metal surface scratched VERY easily. I would avoid this shed unless you are willing to take all of this commitment on. Once built it is actually an OK shed but I am not seeing a lot of opportunity for shelving or hooks etc....
