This shed, for it's price, seems like a good deal. Unfortunately, the material quality is lower than you would hope. The panels are also paper thin, and difficult to work with, especially the siding panels and the roof skirt. On top of those quality issues, the included instructions, if followed, wil
l lead to a series of unfortunate failures. From the start, the base of the shed is the first thing built, than the four corner side panels are installed with no support. The corner pieces barely cover the corners which means when one panel is done and the next is being worked on, that first panel you just installed will fall over and lose the guides for a portion of the screws holding it in place entirely. If you build this, remember to prop each side up with a garbage can or similarly large object while the other panels are installed. Once supports and the remaining side panels are installdd this part if at least stable. The roof is where the majority of issues become abundantly clear: each roof panel has only one screw holding it to the actual structure, meaning a strong wind or slightly wrong movement during placement will cause panels to be rendered entirely unattached to the shed. The instructions call for 70 screws to be placed into the roofing panels, but there are.no guides for these screws to enter, they seem placed to pose threats to tall people trying to stand inside the shed and little more than that. The roofing panels also do not align together as they appear to in promo images or the instructions; because of the screw guide hole placements the middle panel on each side of the shed only lines up with one of the two panels it is being installed with, leaving one roof panel on each side of the shed essentially unattached to anything other than the one screw holding it in place. The icing on the cake is that the skirt meant to secure the roof and hold the panels in place. This skirt is made of 7 flimsy aluminum bars, and two plastic bits. When building the shed I received, this skirt couldn't be completed as three of the paper thin aluminum bars snapped under their own weight while they were being positions to attach to the skirt. Unfortunately, the seller seems aware of many of these defects (in one response email to our initial complaint one of their sales reps responded saying that it sounded like we were dealing with 'the roof issue') but claim that since these issues arise while the product is being assembled according to the included directions and aren't received already broken they are unable to help in any way other than to allow us to buy more flimay parts that will fail. I would recommend against purchasing this shed, as similar quality sheds can be found for nearly $2-300 less. Even if those fail, the saved money would at least mean you could potentially try again with a different shed and still have ended up spending less money than if you'd purchased this one.
