Well....its actually pretty good.
Color: Black Size: 10x14 FT (No Window)
As another reviewer put it....you are not building the Taj Mahal. This is a floorless, sheet metal shed. I built a floor for it, spent about $300 for a few 4x4s, a bunch of 2X4s and some subfloor so i could easily roll my toolbox around and it would stay elevated and dry. We basically bought this as a workshop shed. Time will tell if the wind will rip it to shreds. There was more than a few spots where the metal stripped. Had to replace with some screws with bigger screws that I had on hand, when possible. Having all that said, this is an incredibly sturdy shed for what feels like a flimsy piece of crap during the first hour of assembly. It went from feeling like a kite to being sturdy enough for me to hang on it (I don't recommend assembling on a windy day unless you want to sign yourself up for some therapy afterwards-mental and physical, I also really don't recommend hanging on it, I'm about 120lbs, but did anyway just to see if I would be crying myself to sleep that night). The instructions really aren't THAT bad. I'd like to think it would be easier if there were words, but let's face it, I wouldn't read the words anyway. The pictures, considering the number of screws/tasks to complete, are actually quite good. They got a little lazy toward the end with the installation of some hardware but if I were drawing all those diagrams I would have been ready to wash my hands of it too. You will need an entire day. And the inclusion of two sets of gloves is a nice way to say"Bring a friend sucker". I think it can be done as a solo person, but it would definitely take longer and if you're short (I'm 5-1") it really can't be done without a ladder. It's a little funny thinking about doing this with the included tools. That seems like 3 months of hell- power tools will be essential. But dial that stuff back a notch to prevent stripping. There will be a few times where you say "seriously?" in your head only to realize there is a method to the madness. Wasn't a fan of the tiny nut and bolts used for the beams. They come with some anchors but there's about a 0% chance I'd trust those in my situation. So why 5 stars with all these issues? Because I feel like we got $600 worth of precut sheet metal. We didn't have any shipping issues or issues with the door lining up (mentioned in other reviews). We got something that if we want to, we can build around and improve on as we go. ... show more

Fantastic small shed
Color: Black Size: 8x12 FT (No Window)
Review Image by Nick wahl
Shed arrived quickly and in good overall shape. There were 1 or 2 panels with small dents but it did not affect the assembly and no unintended holes. I was able to assemble the shed by myself over 2 days (6ish hours of work). After assembling I will say the reviews about holes not lining up are either caused by A) they didn't understand the diagrams and had the left and right side pieces flipped or B) they tightened things down too early and pulled out of square. I had to constantly adjust as I was building due to the shed being light enough to pull during assembly. During assembly the shed feels weak and overly light but once finished it is VERY SOLID feeling. Still highly recommend securing it to the ground as high winds WILL be capable of moving this as it is a smaller shed. Very highly recommend for those on a budget looking for a decent shed that should last for several years. Instructions could be better. Maybe make extra effort to point out the guide holes so people get the proper alignment easier. But works good looks good and easy to put together ... show more

Decent Shed
Color: Black Size: 8x12 FT (No Window)
Decent overall for a $200 shed. Assembly took around 10 hours by myself. The shed looks great, minus all the holes and dents from shipping, its super thin. I suspect wind, hail and snow will be an issue. Every hole lined up 100%. The instructions aren't great. All holes on the brackets either go up or out. The center brace for the roof doesnt go in the center.. its offset 6 inches either way, if you put it in the center, the screws will hit on the side panels and theres no mounting holes through the top support. When it comes time for the roof, do one side at a time, not both like it says. You cant install the ridge cap if you follow the instructions, its way to thin to even consider getting on the roof for the cap. Doors are a pain to assemble, did I mention the instructions are horrible? This shed is water resistant, not water proof. Enough to keep most the water off, but thats about as much as you can ask for a $200 shed. If shipping hadn't of beat it up, it would be great overall. ... show more

DO NOT buy this P.O.S. I'm not even half-way through assembly and I'm already sick of it. The screws will not go into the top rail along the sides. I started with just a hand screwdriver, and the base assembly went smooth, then I put the corner siding on and that was smooth as well, then we started putting the top frame together and some holes were just ridiculously hard to get the screw to go in, but we got them. Moved on to the sides, trying to put the siding on, in the upper rail they are so hard I couldn't get them in by hand, started using a drill, even at full speed I had to hold it there for MINUTES at a time, PER SCREW, there are hundreds of these screws, at this rate it will take me a week to put this thing together. I also had to push so hard it started buckling the top rail, I tried to brace it by putting my fingers on the backside but it requires so much force on the drill it doesn't matter. Do yourself a favor, steer clear of this or any sheds like it. Save up and get a nicer one. I really wish I had. I don't know if I'll even finish getting this one together. ... show more

Excellent Value, and Clever Design
Color: Black Size: 8x12 FT (No Window)
Review Image by Mike Bond
This is for the 8x12 version of the product. For the price I was skeptical I'd be satisfied with this shed, but happily I was wrong. I'll echo the comments of some here and strongly recommend that the first thing to do is go through the parts lists and verify you have every part. I did this, and discovered I was missing one piece. It greatly reduced build delays to contact customer support right at the beginning and arrange to have them ship it out In addition I advise wearing gloves for most steps of assembly - the sheet metal pieces are sharp I did this installation myself, and only needed a second person when I was attaching the upper pieces of the rectangular frame near the beginning, but your mileage may vary. Even if I had NO option for a helper I could have managed even this by myself with a little ingenuity. I did find that there were a number of times I couldn't get holes to line up and was forced to drill some new (5/64") holes but that didn't surprise or bother me. Overall I was very impressed with the cleverness of the design. I don't agree with those who might complain that the sheet metal was too thin. Those boxes are HEAVY, and to increase the gauge of the steel would have made them SO heavy as to possibly be unmanageable, or increase the number of boxes, therefore with increased product cost and shipping cost, etc. Once it's fully up, the design is really quite sturdy. The floor and/or anchoring of the shed is something to give some serious thought to. I didn't have the option to make this a permanent, fixed installation, so instead of bolting the shed to concrete, I arrayed some paver bricks (over 100) on top of my concrete, laid three 4x8 sheets of tongue & groove OSB subfloor on them, and screwed the wood to the paver bricks with Tapcons. This worked out well for me, but required a great deal of planning and forethought to the brick layout. I'll go back to customer service though: they are excellent, and respond quickly. I misunderstood a step related to the roof beams, and they clarified that for me by sending a photo of the completed shed specifically showing what I was asking about, which was very helpful. The only improvement I think could be made is possibly to switch to providing the "installation manual" as an app instead of paper. Could be me and my own aging eyesight, but several of the installation steps would have been clearer if I could have zoomed in for greater detail magnification. There are a few minor misprints in the paper manual, but they were easy to spot and didn't cause any problems for me. I'd definitely suggest that you don't attempt this unless you are a strong DIY type, or are comfortable with assembly, aren't pressed for time, and have access to helpers. ... show more

decent quality but instructions are horrible
Color: White Size: 12x14 FT (No Window)
the shed itself isn't bad not ultra amazing quality, but not horrible either. obviously you get what you pay for. BUT my biggest frustration with this shed is the instructions to be able to put the shed together. they are absolutely unclear and things don't line up properly for the roof and the cross beams. the screws to put it together are too small and not very secure at all, we ended up going and buying different self tapping roofing screws. we had started to put it together and got to the point of the cross beams and roof and ended up having to take what we had done as the instructions weren't clear and things weren't lining up properly. we spent WAYYY too much time putting this together lol ... show more

You need a friend, and a whole day
This review is for the 8x6 Polar Aurora Outdoor Metal Shed. It's a long review, go get yourself a beer. (TLDR about midway.) I bought this shed to store my yard tools in. I placed it on a prepared concrete pad, anchored it with expanding lag bolts, and sealed the underside with butyl tape. It's big enough to hold my large (3" throat @ 10hp) chipper/shredder; a lawn mower; all of my shovels, hoes, and rakes; my weedeater and all of its attachments; and some yard chemicals like fertilizer and grass killer. I wanted to get a wheelbarrow in there too but the 8x6 just wasn't big enough. That's not any kind of criticism about the shed - it's just meant to give you an idea of how much stuff it can hold. As other reviewers have mentioned, all the painted metal pieces were covered in plastic. I strongly recommend that you remove this plastic, and I truly hate to make that recommendation because it's a time-consuming task that is 100% not enjoyable. But, the plastic is imperfectly applied in places, and in these places where it isn't in contact with the metal, there's a chance water can get in there and sit. This metal is super-thin, folks. Even galvanized metal succumbs to rust eventually. Don't leave the plastic on. I included some hints on removing it at the end of my review. The shed arrived extremely early. So early, in fact, that the concrete wasn't ready yet. I had to let the shed boxes sit outside for 5 days while my concrete cured. I planned the whole concrete pour around the delivery date of the shed. So while I normally love to get my orders early, in this case, it wasn't ideal. The boxes are large and I had no place to keep them indoors. However, I'm not deducting stars for that, it's just FYI in case you try to plan as carefully as I did. Packaging was OK but not the best. There were a couple of pieces that had slight damage to one edge or another. Nothing was dented, though. None of the damage was a deal-breaker for me and most of the damage was obscured after assembly. I did take off a star for this. They could easily add in some foam to help the packaging without much trouble and without affecting the excellent price point by much. The assembly hardware is plainly marked and it's just about impossible to mix up which screws are used in which steps. I had extra screws and washers at the end so they definitely made sure to include spares. The assembly instructions were well-done and easy to follow. (I will suggest that you find and use a magnifying glass, though. Sometimes the way to tell how to orient a piece is to observe which way the oblong holes are running - horizontal vs. vertical - and man are they tiny in the pictures.) Generally speaking, though, you shouldn't be able to assemble things incorrectly. Build quality was surprisingly good. I expected a much less solid structure at this price. Fitment was overall pretty excellent, holes lined up during assembly ~95% of the time. (Keep in mind that in something this complex with literally hundreds of screws, NO ONE is going to get 100% perfect fitment. Not the manufacturer, and not the builder.) When holes didn't align I was able to move one piece or another to force alignment. This is where the helper comes in really handy. Only when that didn't work, did I resort to my own self-tapping screws. That was pretty rare, though. To reinforce to you how sturdy this shed is: in order to fasten the roof cap ridge thingy, I had to actually lay down on the shed's roof. I weigh over 250 pounds and it was solid. I did create a couple of dents, but that was my fault for putting weight down in an unsupported spot. So, this shed is definitely sturdy. Don't let the thin-gauge metal walls fool you. I'm really pleased with this purchase. Buying this and assembling it myself saved me several hundred dollars over getting one locally - which more than paid for the concrete that I put the shed on. The shed surprised me with its quality and ease of assembly. The finished product looks good. The doors open easily and the shed is solid. I would definitely recommend this shed to others, and in fact, if I needed a second shed, I'd buy one of these again. ***TLDR*** A surprisingly solid shed that anyone with decent DIY skills can build. A helper is needed. Peeling the plastic takes about as long as assembling the shed. Instructions and assembly materials are very organized and easy to follow. You may encounter some fitment issues that can be easily overcome with some self-tapping screws. Shipping was really fast but packaging could use a little improvement. You need to make plans for flooring (none included) and/or anchoring to the ground. Assembling the shed required: *A friend/helper + beer for payment *A stepladder *A step stool (or, the ladder, if it's short enough to go inside the partially-constructed shed) *An impact driver w/ phillips and allen bits *Pliers or sockets (there are a few bolted connections in addition to all of the screws) *An enormous amount of patience (because, plastic peeling) Other things I used that others might not need to worry about: *concrete anchors *Butyl tape or other sealant *Self-tapping screws (I mostly used these where fitment issues kept me from getting the holes to align.) OK, here are some pointers you may find helpful.... *The plastic you've read so much about in these reviews is actually regular old plastic wrap. It's not applied with any adhesive, it's just shrink-wrapped. Removing it is very much like peeling sunburn skin off your arm. Heat guns/hair dryers don't help, and neither do rubber wheel adhesive removers. *When peeling the plastic, look for thin little straight lines. They usually run long-ways for the whole length of the piece. These lines are actually perforations, and they are meant to rip away from the rest. Typically, you'll want to focus on a plastic strip near one of these lines to get it started. Once it's started, work just that one strip all the way down the piece until it's removed. Then go back to where you started from and start the next strip, and remove that one. Continue in this way until it's all pulled off. My helper and I experimented with this technique and it seemed to be the fastest way. For reference, he was trying to peel the plastic from a piece all at once and keeping it all together. Once I started just pulling the individual sections/strips, I was getting done faster. ALSO - don't worry so much about the plastic that's on the interior of the shed. It's not likely to get wet. *The washers are nylon and come in a 12x10 sheet. What I did was pull one row off the sheet, so I'd have like 10 or 12 of the washers together in a line. Then, when placing screws, I'd just hold the whole strip, put a screw into the last washer in the row, position it, and drive it in. Finally, I would yank on the strip of washers to break off the one that I just screwed down. This was easier and faster than trying to separate all the washers individually. *Don't allow things to lean against the walls of the shed until it's all the way together. The walls can flex quite a bit until the roof pieces go on. I caused some fitment issues by leaning my roof pieces against the walls while assembling other parts. *The screws they give you are not self-tapping, so if you do have a fitment issue that keeps holes from coming into alignment, go get a self-tapping screw. The ones they give you will just spin and not dig in. *When putting on the roof pieces, the instructions have you go from front to back. I found the easiest way to do this was to work from inside the shed, standing on a short step stool to get my head and shoulders above the roofline. It's a tight squeeze to put on the next-to-last roof pieces, but if you can get those from inside, the last two pieces are really easy to reach from outside when you're on a stepladder. How I anchored and sealed it: The instructions have you build the floor frame first. Immediately after that you start screwing on the wall pieces. In between those two steps, we did the following: *Centered the frame on the concrete pad and marked its boundaries *Helper stood on the frame to keep it steady while I made starter holes for the anchor bolts *Removed frame, made anchor holes, sank anchors *Returned frame, ensured proper alignment. Then, flipped frame upside down in-place *Applied butyl tape to the outermost edge of the frame's underside *Flipped frame back over and settled it down on the anchor bolts *Tapped frame into place with a 2x4, then went around the edges and tapped it some more to seat the butyl tape against the concrete. Bolted the frame down on the anchors. ... show more

It doesn't hold up to anything beyond a lite snow. You'll need to brace the roof or snow will collapse it. We had about 4 inches of snow less than a month after I assembled this. The roof collapsed and ruined some of my stuff. The instructions was a bit difficult to understand at times. I built it on a level platform and still had difficulty lining the door latches up. But not a bad shed for the price just need to brace the roof if you live in a climate prone to snow. ... show more
