“One thing i would recomend, if you buy the concrete anchor kit invest in a hammer drill and drill bits. The factory supplied bit went dull on the first hole.”
“I assembled this by myself in about 14 hours over 2 days. This is my first ever shed so I'm not really sure what's useful to point out.
***Skip ahead in the assembly instructions to make sure your upper door track pre-drilled holes line up with the gables. The assembly step for the door track doesn't fully show or explain which way to assemble the pieces so you have a 50% chance of assembling it upside down.***
Pros:
Good price for the size and weather protection. It fastens and screws in a smart way and in many, many places (about 200+ screws and bolts) so it's really sturdy for a 100lbs+/- building.
Cons:
1) Padlock goes on a plastic door handle - this will keep out honest thieves.
2) It's about 5 feet tall. Watch your head. Could it really not be designed taller?
3) This metal can not be in direct contact with pressure treated wood at the same time, everything the metal touches on the outside will also be directly effected by the elements. I painted my pressure treated wood with an oil-based sealant and then covered it with roofing felt (just where the walls and door make contact) before I put the building on it.
Other thoughts:
The building is about 100lbs+/-. It's really light weight. My wood floor is about 300lbs so at least the wind won't move anything. I don't know yet the pros and cons of a light weight building.”
