“So, to start with, I am handicapped. I got 2 of these 8'x8' Shed in a Box's. I got one done 85% by myself in just under 2 hours (had to take a break while it rained for 20-30 minutes). The directions are mostly OK. Mostly. Some actual words describing the actions would be nice, especially where putting on the end covers in shown. I got the frame fully assembled and the ends on and the top cover draped before my kid showed up to help with securing the covers and putting on the lower braces that hold the top cover down. Not bad for a guy with a bad back, bad shoulders and bad hands. The only real complaints I have are considering the cost of these (I paid $300 each at a local store) are that several of the holes punched in the tubing had a LOT of material left I have to ream out to get the tubes to fit together and ALL the bolts/nuts/washers were in 1 bag. How hard would it be to put the 3 separate length bolts in separate bags? For the second one, I took a ruler to the bolts to separate the sizes as the first one I know I mis-matched some of the bolts. Overall, 4 stars and I'd recommend these to others and would buy them again.”
Thank you so much for your 4 star rating of our Shed-in-a-Box® 8 ft. x 8 ft. x 8 ft. Gray. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience of putting the shed together and finding that it was manageable despite having a bad back, bad shoulders, and bad hands. We are sorry to hear that some of the holes had extra material that you had to ream out that may have added extra time. It's also great to hear that the directions were mostly OK - we will look into possibly adding more words to those directions. We are glad that you'd recommend them to others and would consider buying them again. Thank you for your review!
“Bought 2 of these 9/2021...BOTH have rotted & ripped from the sun exposure. Both of them had faulty zippers & the right side zipper was upside down & pull was backwards. We'll see if Gorilla Tape can semi‐protect our stuff until spring. Would likely not purchase again.”
“I live in Washington state, Don't really get that much sun. I have had this shed for about two years. Opened it up today and standing water on the floor. the fabric is literally coming apart, No abuse from wind. So I guess they want a person to buy a new top every two years! Not going to happen, I will tarp it. For the price. Not worth it.”
Hello,
We are awfully sorry to see that you are unhappy with your cover. Please know that fabric life is affected by the application, location, and the physical elements the shelter is exposed to. If you live in an area that gets more sun exposure than most of the cover, along with exposure to other elements such as strong winds, it can also affect longevity. We do offer replacement cover kits in Standard, Heavy-Duty and Ultra-Duty material. If you would like to discuss any of this in more detail, our customer service team is available 7 days a week at 1-800-932-9344.
Thank you, Customer Service
“I bought the 8x8 shelterlogic shed and its horrible i opened the box and was missing pieces and was a small hole in the cover , I wanted to build it as much as I could to see if I would just replace it or return it for my money well putin it together was a nightmare the directions don't tell you nothing when putting on the cover the corners ripped and one of the top pipes snaped. this happened with me trying to put it together now think when it snows or there is heavy rain and wind nah I will be returning this product 100% was a real let down”
“This is just what we needed to keep the outside tools out of the garage. It's very sturdy and we'll see if it stands up to our winter weather that will soon start.”
