Customer ReviewsT**
Flat pack box was surprisingly small and I thought maybe something would be missing, but all parts were there. All parts were labelled so I couldn’t go wrong. Although, you do need some DIY common sense to understand how some bits fit together. As I began the assembly, it felt very flimsy, but once the the bars on top of the walls were fitted it started to feel sturdy, then with the roof on it was solid. Happy with the purchase, the only negative - I thought the price was higher than others, but due to the unique size I wanted (10x5ft), this was the only good plastic shed I found.
G**GArrived on time and instructions for installation was very clear and needed two people to get it up and took us good few hours. Seems good quality.
Y**HVery easy to assemble although a second pair of hands at the beginning is a must. The shed panels are very floppy until you get the first side up and it can support itself. It gets more rigid with every panel and screw that's added. A small step ladder is required for the roof panels unless you're gifted in the height department. Only needed a screw driver and a hammer, I opted for a cordless screwdriver and a cordless hammer. There was slight damage upon opening the box, a panel had a slight chip off the corner but was not visible from outside and did not allow any water ingress, I gobbed some silicone on it for good measure and on most of the joints especially the roof caps - blast it in the holes before the plug hours in then a blob on the top for good measure. It's worth noting that a good base is needed, it doesn't come with a floor just the supports for a floor to go on. I did add a floor after these pictures were taken. Been a few months and still dry inside and hasn't blown away. It feels and looks alot cleaner than a basic wooden shed and should be totally maintenance free. In all it took about 5 hours to build and a few cups of tea.
G***GInstructions are well laid out. Read them all before starting. You get two booklets - one for door left and one for door right opening. The assembly is all well documented with each item marked with a code to make it easy to fit together. All work can be done working from the inside - except the back right hand corner vertical. If space is tight around to back righthand corner, when working in this area its better to put the side panel up first with its corner vertical to allow you to screw up at the base. Before construction, you must have a level base else you will find fitting and meeting together parts difficult. I made a concrete base about 125mm thick. This ensures a flat level surface and prevents water ingress. When you do the roof, use mastic with each fixing plug. After construction, I laid a waterproof membrane over the base frame, making sure it overlapped the sides, then boarded the flooring over it to provide a level flooring. The shed is fully waterproof having been tested with the latest heavy downpours. You will need some help with the roof though - a person inside and outside to ensure correct alignment. Allow two days for construction. Looks good in its cream colour.
