good deal for what you get


First, I am in no way suggesting that any of my comments are a method or 'HOW TO" or giving any kind of recommendation or advise. This is only an explanation of how I did some the assembly for this shed and what my opinions are. I am not a shed, construction, tradesman, or assembly expert.

I needed to...

What Sears Web site does not say is that the assemblage is not easy unless you have the whole day. It comes in hundred of pieces and hundred screws. It has no floor either...you'll have to built a base. (or buy the floor kit separately) Great buy if you have time and are a handy person!

Pretty good overall

If this is the first time you build a shed, remember, you need to pay extra bucks to build a fundation first. For me, I have a yard/gravel ground, no way to directly lay the floor frame kit and the shed on it. I bought some concrete blocks and pressure treated lumber and plywood from *********, cost me $165 after some coupons and other savings, built a pretty decent fundation. Returned the Arrow floor frame kit which was about $75.

This whole thing worth the price. Most likely you will need some paint job done afterwards since the package box and the way they move and store it will definitely...

My husband and I were looking for an inexpensive storage building that would fit our needs. We ordered it for pick-up at our local store. The ordering, delivery notification and pick-up process were great. The box is pretty heavy and the sales person loaded for us. Unfortunately, he wasn't at the other end to unload! We had read all the posted reviews before purchasing so we had a pretty good idea of what we were in for. Absolutely read the directions several times before starting and lay all the pieces out and refer to them as you read. Pay close attention to left and right. We chose to assemble...

Great value!

This is a great product and it is well-engineered!  It took about 10 hours to assemble.  I had a helper for the first 6 hours to keep the first few panels from falling over.  Having help is especially important if it is windy.  I laid out nine evenly-spaced landscaping bricks for a foundation.  Then, I used some spare lumber to build a 2x6 plank floor over a 2x6 subframe to serve as the base of the shed in lieu of the base available from the factory.  The 2x6's provide a heavy base for attachment and also protect the metal panels and shed contents from moisture much better than...

1 star

This shed took 2 days to assemble has no floor and does not hold up to the weather. It stood in my yard for a month and the first time the wind picked up was blown into my house after being ripped from the frame and rolling over the several hundred pounds I had positioned on the floor I made. I would not recommend this to anyone.

A lot of Shed for the $$$!

This is a great purchase. The shed is very sturdy but it will require two people to assemble. One person to screw together and one person to hold the pieces in place. Very windy day would not be idea for assembly unless you had three people to stablize the pieces. Everything went together well. Make sure everything is level and plum. If it is not then it can be easily pushed into place by the other helper. Its well engineered...

Good for the money

I purchased this shed a couple of yrs ago. I am a woman who with another woman friend assembled this shed in 1 day. If you follow the instructions it is fairly easy to assemble. Do make sure your floor frame is Square. Otherwise your screw holes do not line up and you will have problems. Do not try to do in breeze stronger that 10 mph. I put it on a concrete floor and anchored it to the concrete. My only complaint with it is the heigth of the door. I am not tall by any means. 5'6" I hit my head eveytime if I don't duck. The shed could be alittle taller but other than that I have LOTS of stuff stored... read full review »

Great for the price!!

Great building for the price. The materials are a little flimsy but once put together and everything is in it, it is a little more sturdy. Be prepared to set aside a whole day to assemble. Me and my husband worked from 9-6 on nothing but this building. All in all we really got our moneys worth out of this building.

Not On A Windy Day

The building package overall is a good value. It took me most of one day, all by myself to erect. Don't even pretend to think about it when the wind is above 15 mph. While the individual panels are flimsy, when completely assembled, the building is rather stout. It is also extremely important to anchor the building before the big winds hit. It is no fun to try and haul it back in the wind. It is not the best building in the world, but it is a good building for the money.

Easy construction w/ a few caveats

Some others have said this took a long time to assemble. I did it by myself in about a day. It's fairly easy, and it ends up fairly rigid. Some caveats though: 1) Watch your screws! They give you just barely enough without any excess for loss, malformed screws, etc. This is common. Why don't manufacturers just give you an extra 20% screws, knowing that some will get lost in the grass? It's cheap but makes assembly easy. 2) Leave enough room on the back for assembly. I placed this shed about 8 inches from my house in the back yard. However, you'll need at least 3 feet of space behind the shed to... read full review »

A great buy!

My wife and I assembled this garden shed in a little over a day. One person could get it done, but it would be difficult to screw and bolt the roof panels on without another pair of hands to help tighten them in place from inside the shed. I don't know how one person could do it easily. Its a nice little shed and a great bargain. It looks attractive on our property also. We're happy with the ease of online ordering, timely delivery, ease of pickup in the store and kind service.
