Keter Manor Outdoor Apex Double Door Garden Storage Shed 6 x 8ft Beige Brown Wood effect | Fade Free | All Weather Resistant | Safe and Secure | Zero Maintenance | 15 year Warranty

Fantastic shed, just the right size, built in floor, lockable doors, watertight. The two guys that came with the shed and built it for me (father & son), worked non stop to erect the shed and all in 2-3 hours job done were amazing. I had to pay extra to have the shed erected but they arrived on time, wasted no time while in the garden and excellent communicators and professional too. Big shout out to them too. Thanks you so much, all well worth paying for, Looks great.

I’m really pleased with this shed, especially at the price of £460 that I paid for it (it was nearly £1200 when I looked before posting this review, so watch the price if you’re thinking lf buying it). It takes a long time to put together and is definitely fiddly at points. You cannot do this on your own - for a while there were 3 of us working on this, although the roof was done with 2 the next day. There are an awful lot of screws to put in and quite often the drill wouldn’t do it so a hand screwdriver needed to be used, at least to start them off or tighten them at the end. The screws that have to go through metal are particularly tricky. My main tip for anyone would be when you think a piece is pushed in all the way, use a block of scrap wood and firmly knock it with a hammer/mallet - I found out the hard way that pieces weren’t flush even when you thought they were without doing this! However all the pieces are clearly labelled so it’s easy to be sure you’re working with the right part and fixings at any time, including labels which show way up pieces should be. The size is good so it’s really useful for storing lots in an organised way, I’ve been able to put up 2 large shelving units inside and still have lots of floor space for other things. If you’re careful everything fits together well. The tolerances are very small so you do need to be precise and careful with the pieces. Considering how light and even flimsy the plastic pieces feel when you take them out of the box, when it’s all together it feels very sturdy and the plastic material feels durable, including the roof. I can’t comment on waterproofing yet as it rained while putting it together but not since the roof went on (typical) but there’s nothing that makes me think there will be an issue.

Base and walls were relatively easy to put together. Roof was a pain and needed three people at one point. Building on a level surface is important. We were building into a corner so wouldn't be able to get the screws into the hidden sides, but the whole thing is just light enough that you can move it around while its empty and slide it to where you need it. The floor is pretty squishy - anything heavy will dent and flatten it, anything sharp will pierce it. We had a sheet of 12mm OSB spare so trimmed it to fit. You probably want to price this in if you're going to be storing tools, gardening equipment, freestanding shelf units etc. Since putting this up a couple of weeks ago we've had plenty of rain and some of the worst storms in decades but the shed has held up fine. What I'd do different next time - 1. Only put in enough screws to hold it together until you can get the roof on. There were sections that looked level but would clash when the roof went on. I ended up taking 3/4 of the screws out, re-jigging it, then putting all the screws back in once it was where it needed to be. Thankfully the plastic is pretty forgiving. 2. Add the roof trim to the roof panel but don't screw it down until its on the base. If you align and screw the roof trim on first, to where you think it needs to be, it will likely not align with the base. Keep it loosely fitted, lift the roof on, align the roof trim to the base walls so it all fits, then secure the trim to the roof and the walls below. Because access will now be tricky you'll need a right-angle drill bit to do it this way.

I am.totally and utterly over the moon with this shed now its up. Arriving in one large box, this shed took two none DIYer a total of 6 hours to put together stopping only to have something to eat. Instructions were easy to follow and each step was explained very well with numbered parts and screws which helped. Everything slotted together nicely and the tool supplied helped with this process enormously. I must admit I was quite concerned at first when 3 of the walls were in place and the structure was flapping about in the wind...but you have ti trust the process as it all came together nicely in the end , resulting in a solid feeling, stable shed that's completely waterproof. The fact that you can choose the location of the window is a huge bonus feature I wasn't expecting but a nice surprise. I would suggest you buy or borrow a electric screwdriver for the task and some ladders or something to stand on when fitting the roof would be helpful too. All in all this is a lovely shed, easy to construct and totally maintenance free once constructed. Highly recommend 👌

Very nice shed. Exactly as expected and pictured. Would reccomend. Lightweight but sturdy. Modern design which looks waterproof (havent had rain yet!) Looks water tight however and comes with ventilation and a floor so should remain nice and damp free. The window is privacy glass so you can only see out of it, which allows for light in the shed, but no one can look in at your belongings.

Bought this Keter Manor Apex 6x5 shed for its decent looks and previous good experience with the brand, but what a disappointment. It took us several frustrating hours to assemble. Some panels arrived damaged, screw holes should be pre-drilled, and it demands a powerful electric screwdriver the whole way through. The roof was the worst – almost impossible to align and secure properly. Cheap-feeling process for the price. Looks okay once built, but the assembly stress isn’t worth it. Do not recommend.

Very large shed with lots of individual pieces and big instruction manual. Construction takes a few hours and needs 2 people to prevent it from collapsing at points and the roof piece is heavy to. Concerned that the plastic roof is hollow shell type and can get punctured by objects easily. Puncture holes can be made all the way through which then makes this open for leaks. They can be taped or sealant shut but for the price range it should be more durable and strong to resist minor impacts. Corners are especially vulnerable and the base layer gets dented very easily when heavier object like shelves are put on it. Size and look wise it’s very good but I expected this to be of higher quality and made from more durable and resistant plastic which in this case it is not. Due to existing puncture holes in the roof panel which are all the way in this has to be returned and deconstruction took a lot less time, just a shame I didn’t check all the panels first.

Our old wooden shed had long since seen its best days so we spent sometime emptying it, moving the contents to our garage and dismantling it for the tip. We then settled on this new Keter shed (6x8) as it was the same size as our old one and had decent reviews too. We read the reviews and watched some YT videos before starting. Firstly, I would say assemble it on a dry day and not too windy. Despite checking the weather beforehand we were hit with some strong winds and downpours throughout the afternoon which delayed us a little. It certainly takes 2 people to build, even if the only thing the other person does is to support the panels during assembly. My wife and I, both in our 60s, took from 10am to 6pm to fully build this - but as I said we were hampered a little by the weather. OK onto the build itself. Its quite straightforward to erect, but these are some of my tips that may help others: 1. There are a lot of screws, and I mean a lot - different shapes and uses. So make sure your drill batteries are fully charged before commencing. I got through 2 full batteries throughout the day. 2. The instructions are constantly reminding you to make sure the panels are fully in the grooves when building. So I used a nylon hammer to tap the edges to ensure everything was completely together before screwing parts together, even after each screw, just making sure everything stayed together. Tap tap tap constantly. 3. Some of the screws were self-drilling for connecting the metal parts. When there was a guide hole this was straightforward but some were difficult to get to bite. So I a few times I had to drill a small pilot hole to get the screw in. 4. The dreaded roof. Getting the roof on is the most difficult part, but as long as all panel connections are snug as previously mentioned it shouldn't be too hard. When connecting the trims to the roof I had to make sure the 4 smaller pieces were tapped down as far as possible to the edge. If they are too central they will catch on the cross member of the roof and it won't fit. After I did this the roof went on quite easily - oh and the puck was really useful for this bit and the only time I really used it. All in all it's a great shed and fits perfectly where our old shed used to be (6x8). We just have to put all our stuff back in now.

Rapport qualité prix très bon. Si le matériel au montage paraît un peu léger et pas très costaud, la structure assemblée à la fin du montage est solide et bien stable au sol ( préparer un support plat avec des dalles de préférence), avec un résultat au final très satisfaisant ( voir les photos). L’explicatif de montage de bonne qualité guide très bien pour une réalisation en une dizaine d’heures seul, avec une aide d’une deuxième personne pour certaines opérations. Très content de cette acquisition, belle esthétique avec une bonne surface intérieure. Je la recommande sans problème, en espérant qu’avec le temps, mon avis restera le même.

Super produit. Simple à monter à condition d'avoir bien préparé le sol. On a pris 7 heures pour monter la cabane à 2.

Asser facile a monter a deux, mais faut que le sol soit vraiment de niveau.

la casetta è molto funzionale, il libretto di istruzione molto dettagliato, meglio essere in 3 per montarla, e avere tempo a disposizione, il tetto è la parte Piu impegnativa, il risultato è molto soddisfacente, direi ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
