Canberra FG53 5 x 3 ft Utility Metal Shed - Federation Green

Let's be honest, I bought this because it was the cheapest option - I needed to clear some rarely used and very bulky items from my workshop (shed) and needed something cheap and cheerful to hide out of the way.The shed does come as one of two options (5ft and 6ft) and the build instructions are common between them, with alternate options where the build differs. The instructions are accurate, though being a typical bloke I tried to wing a few bits and came unstuck during the build. In honesty, with the right equipment, it took about 6 hours to build on my own, some of which was re-doing again and again the corner pieces (this is where if you're not careful in reading the instructions it's easy - for me anyway - to make a mistake), and some considerable confusion with the roof end bars.Once constructed it's light enough and rigid enough to manoeuvre into final position where you'll need to provide your own bolt to anchor it to the floor.It's a bit flimsy - the panels distort easily if force is applied, but if you want a low maintenance, infrequent access shed it's ideal. I wouldn't expect it to tolerate the daily footfall that my main shed endures.

Incredibly tedious to assemble due to inaccurately drilled holes, poor instructions & wafer-thin materials throughout. When you consider that this type of product is mainly jig-manufactured, there is no excuse for such failings and incompetence. I didn't put this thing together myself, but another reviewer's comment of it taking them over 5 hours is well believable! I would go so far as to say that it would probably be untenable for anybody under 5' 9" to wrestle this contraption into any kind of recognizable shape if so much as a light breeze was blowing. My sister advises that the 'knack' is getting the 90 degree angles in precisely the correct place. These, of course, are not marked out. Again, inexcusable. At least it's cheap...

Only the roof meet the size, after fitted, the door have a gap all around of 1-1.5 cm, so it is not water tight, don't have a bottom, on the positive side it was not damaged, and no parts missing, arrived by the time frame expected.

wanted 5ft x 4ft but when assembled it measured only 4ft x 3ft. very disappointed. Not as robust as I would have liked but suppose I will have to make the best of it. Will not purchase again.

Flimsier than I thought & all holes had to be re'drilled as none matched. Roof had to be completely altered to fit. Ended up taking my partner most of the weekend as he was losing patience...Cheap & chearful..

The panels seem flimsy and can dent and buckle easily.... Some of the screw holes are misplaced...the parts are not all marked for idetification which make the instructions for a novice confusing, careful with the edges some are sharp and can cut you.

nice looking shed BUT a swine to put together, so many bits, and holes not drilled, took two men all day to erect

It looks good and no water coming in. However no the same manufacturer that is on amazon and a few screws sticking out...
