Duramax TOP Pent Roof Skylight 8 x 6 (4.86 m2) Metal Garden Shed, Made of Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel, Strong Reinforced Roof Structure, Built-in skylight for sunlight, Metal Storage Shed, Anthracite

Having spent weeks researching which shed would best suit my needs, it became apparent that the majority of retailers sell one of two makes of shed - both of which had significant flaws identified by buyers. On discovering an alternative - the Duramax brand - the reviews were much more favourable. Coupled with the immediate availability and excellent service of Amazon, I decided to give it a go. What a pleasant surprise awaited! The shed was delivered within a couple of days, rather than the many weeks you'd expect from other sellers. So far, so good! On unboxing, the components were well packaged. The instruction booklet was clearly illustrated and highly comprehensive. Each component in the box was numbered for ease of identification. Even the instructions for constructing a base were highly detailed! Although most of the job of putting it together could be done by one person, there were certain aspects that definitely needed two people, so make sure you've got someone to give you a hand. Once built (a job that took a couple of days), it looked fantastic! I'm very, very happy with the quality, price and ease of build, and although it's not yet been tested for its weatherproofing, there's no obvious reason to doubt it. I am a genuinely satisfied customer!

Once built strong and robust. Secured to concrete foundation withstood a harsh winter. Very happy and looks goog

Assembly was not difficult, but it takes time, I did it over two days with the help of a couple other people. Once erected it looks good, feels sturdy enough for my needs. The secret is to get the base even, before even attempting to assemble I would recommend investing time in making an even base for it to be built on. Mine is built in decking, pathing stones would be equally as good. A good looking wood effect, sturdy and arrived with more screws than you will need.

Before I bought this shed I read all the reviews and was prepared for a big job. I assembled a team of very capable guys and opened the box. Note, you will need 3 people to do this properly, the box it's in is insanely heavy and in it is a lot of pieces. 1. Lay everything out and read through the instructions first. You don't have to follow the order. I wanted to build the back first and push it back against a fence so read ahead and work it backwards. 2. Some of the numbers on the parts are hard to find and read so look closely. 3. Negative Nancy that said the holes don't line up has no mechanical experience. Get the shed straight on the floor and vertically. All the holes are over size so if you do all the screws up tight from the start when you get to the end the last screw won't line up. Assemble as much loose as you can and tighten at the end. It will save you looking stupid on your Amazon review. 4. Have the right tools. You will need an electric screwdriver, a ratchet screwdriver, a 7mm spanner and/or socket and wrench and gloves (the edges are not all finished and some are as sharp as black death sweets). 5. Build the shed, take your time and enjoy the company of some good friends in the garden. This mighty erection took just 4 hours including a lunch break and a lot of Tetly Tea (other teas are available - but not as yummy). It's not difficult and it is well designed but you will have to apply at least a little brains to the job or you'll end up in a bit of a kerfuffle with holes that don't line up and negative reviewitis.

The instructions are clear and complete but with absolutely nothing extra. The kit is complete with everything you need including the plastic plugs to fit to a concrete base. A good supply of spare screws and washers is provided. This shed kit needs and absolutely flat and level base. The instructions recommend a concrete base which certainly made things easier. Any unevenness would make the holes hard to align. A torque controllable screwdriver is also recommended which prevents overtightening of screws but with care any screwdriver will do. It is worth reading through all the instructions before starting and many steps require careful study to get the part precisely placed. Put the main parts in order to reduce moving the later panels again and again. Many holes are not used immediately but are left to add in additional parts later. The fact that screwing the shed to the base is a very late stage is helpful as the entire part assembled shed can be moved to allow easy access to the back or side if it is to be placed near an existing structure or fence. Delighted with the result after 3 part days of assembly not a project to rush! Take time to really understand each step.

I bought this in 2020 and it is still going strong

It's been up about 9 months and is reliable and sturdy. Just make sure you follow the instructions carefully as there's a few steps that are easy to misinterpret, especially when it comes to fitting the roof. Also make sure you put it on a solid base with something to hold it down. I've heard of Plastic and metal sheds lifting off in high winds! Requires 2 people as one would definitely need to hold sections together while the other uses the cordless. It took me and my 8 Yr old about 6-7 hours but it was fun. Good value for money and looks great too.

It has terrible scratches on your front panel, arrived like this and regretfully we had to erect the shed despite this horrible scratch right by the doors. I cannot contact anyone about this, I would like someone to contact me.

Beau matériel prévoir la journée pour le monter et surtout mettre des gants ça coupe ! Sinon très satisfaite du rendu !

Gerätehaus sieht super aus. Aufbau nach Anleitung klappt prima. Aufbauzeit zu dritt = 30 Mannstunden. Sehr empfehlenswert. Sehr gute Ware.

top ! à faire monter par un pro

Amazing assembly instructions. Took me around 8 hours to assemble. Doors opening is not as smooth, but can't complain as the price is amazing for such product.

Buon rapporto qualita prezzo, istruzioni chiare e montaggio facile, io l'ho montata da solo e ci ho messo una mezza giornata buona, sicuramente in 2 persone si va piu veloce.
