Easyshed is certainly a misnomer! It should be called quite-complicated-shed or not-quite-right-shed. We managed to assemble the shed in the end, but it was a mammoth process which took about 30 hours in total (2 or 3 people working together, for about 9 x 2-3 hour sessions).
The instructions get you to start on the back panel, probably because, in a way, it is the simplest one, so you learn quite a few lessons there and hopefully don't make the same mistakes again on more complicated panels.
Here are my tips to help others:
- don't bother trying to get the screws to go in without drilling first
- the few places that are pre-drilled are generally too small, so you need to drill them again with a 3.5mm drill bit
- be very patient
- make sure you have a very good drill, electric screwdriver and angle grinder
My issues with this shed are:
- none of the panels or edging are pre-drilled
- there are weird angles that are really hard to drill/screw into
- almost all the edging pieces were the wrong length and we had to cut them
- when putting the roof on, it was basically too short. We had to bend the edges and really use a lot of pressure and force to get it to fit. The roof really needs a re-design and more accurate cutting (although it is also possible that the wall pieces were not quite the right size either, compounding the problem)
- the walls feel very flimsy
- we ordered a window but there was no hole cut for it in any of the wall panels!! In the end we decided not to bother as it would be very difficult to cut a clean hole to the right size.
- did I mention that you REALLY need an angle-grinder to assemble the shed?
The final stage took three people to assemble and was actually not quite as bad as I was lead to believe from some reviews, but as mentioned before it was really difficult to get the roof to actually cover the last 2 centimetres.
If you have time, the right equipment and read the instructions really carefully, this isn't particularly difficult (ie you don't need to be very skilled), just complicated (ie you need to be very good at following the instructions, which aren't always entirely clear).
I don't think I would recommend easyshed or buy it again, but there is not a lot of choice for the exact size we wanted in our price range. Now we are finished I am glad we have it but hope to never have to do it again!
