Lifetime Storage Shed (8' x 12.5')

I ordered this shed in early spring last year. It went through summer storms, heavy rain, and a hurricane. I didn't see a drop of water leak. Very easy to install. But you do need a second pair of hands. We spent more time building the foundation than putting the shed together.

This shed is USA made and once assembled is quite strong and doesn't wobble even though it is mostly made out of plastic except for for the metal roof trusses that connect the side walls to each other. Having the floor on a level surface is very important otherwise the wall sections will not line up with each other and the double door will not line up with the opposite door. This also causes the locking latch to not work. I have quite a bit of building experience and yet it still took between 4-5 hrs with two of us to put this structure together using a screw gun. Make sure the torque setting on the gun is not set to tighten the many hundreds of screws to tight otherwise they will strip out the plastic they fasten into. Snapping the walls to the floor was a bit of a workout. Especially the corner sections. Definitely use the 1x4 piece of wood they supply to put under the taps where the wall section snap into the floor section. The plans were fairly straight forward with good diagrams and is necessary follow the order of the set-up exactly how they recommend it. There are not shortcuts to this process. The description doesn't mention that it also comes with one long shelf, two small shelves and two corner shelves. The color is not quite the same as the photo. The walls are more of a medium cream color and the doors and roof are more of a light chocolate brown. One last thing.... this shed weighs close to 700#s. It comes in two boxes by a common freight carrier. It would be very expensive to return it!! Make sure you have done your research well and are ordering what you want. Otherwise this shed has plenty of room inside, with two windows that open to allow air to circulate through the upper vents and skylights that help bring in natural light.
