GreesumMetal Outdoor Storage Shed 10FT x 8FT, Steel Utility Tool Shed Storage House with Door & Lock, Metal Sheds Outdoor Storage for Backyard Garden Patio Lawn (10' x 8'), Gray

I read tons of reviews before purchase, but at a cost of $219 this shed is an excellent value. I bought and built it myself (I am a 5’ 6” female). I saved HUNDREDS of dollars and took my time to construct it . Several reviews discussed the ways that they built this shed, but if you search for “Greesum Metal Storage Shed” online there is a 40 minute and 54 second video by UTECHPIA (building the smaller 5’ x 3’ shed solo) that I found extremely helpful. The shed isn’t EASY to build if you are inexperienced, but it is absolutely possible if you are patient, have the correct tools, and have the time and determination to devote to building. For a builder with experience, this shed build would be a piece of cake though. The build is completely logical.TIPS:1) FWIW, I did use an electric drill w screwdriver attachment instead of a ratcheting screwdriver and it saved a ton of time and strength. (TBH I started w/ a ratchet and changed after my arm got sore - so save time and start that way!). I was just VERY careful to set the torque low on my drill and to be careful not to strip the screws on tightening.2) I inventoried each piece of the build before I started, to make sure I had all the pieces, which I did. I read the instructions (e.g., looked at all the pictures) before starting. I did not inventory the screws/ fasteners because for the most part I could tell there were plenty.3) When installing the wall panels, I put a starter screw at the top, then attached the bottom screws first, which was more difficult to do since that part was close to the ground and were therefore harder to screw in (I lifted the very light shed frame up onto an incline to allow my drill to get low enough to reach each screw). FWIW, if you assemble the structure correctly which is not hard to do, ALL the holes match up. HOWEVER, it is important to stretch or push the metal slightly to fit, as it can get a bit shrunk and bent during packaging. None of the materials in my packaging were damaged. Because it’s thin sheet metal, it is easy to shape so all the holes line up. Take your time and wear the gloves so you don’t get cut by the metal.4) the instructions are sometimes tricky, so pay close attention to the holes that DO & which DO NOT get screwed in (at first) on the corner panels for the walls and roof. Otherwise you’ll have to undo and redo them, which I did the first time. Didn’t make that mistake twice.5) there is one error on the roof build instructions, or at least I THINK it was pictured backwards. The number 17 and number 18 front and back roof edge finishing pieces (which screw into the middle roof panel and are both around 3 to 4 feet long) appeared as reversed in the photo instructions I had. (The 18 piece is shorter, 17 slightly longer. ) Consequently, when I tried to put the roof supports around the edge of the roof panels, they appeared to be too long and jutted out too far past the corners of the roof. Just reverse 17 and 18 pieces, and then the side roof structure finishing pieces and corners will match.If you have ever built Ikea stuff you will be able to build this shed. Just pay CLOSE attention to the tiny holes pictured on the page and figure out what is top, bottom, front and back before you permanently affix each piece. And there’s nothing you can’t undo and redo, generally, if you must.The HARD part of this build was creating a level surface for my shed because my yard is on an incline (and I had no experience with a patio-making task). However, the finished product is a success. The shed withstood last night’s rain, and everything inside is water free. In the picture, you will see an IKEA Omar shelf, which fits well in this shed with room to spare. (See pics). I put a large piece of plastic for flooring inside, and it too was dry. I am very pleased with this shed.UPDATE - after several days of hard blowing rains, there was some water infiltration from (I believe) gaps at the roofline underneath the roof’s drip edge, which is short (the edge comes down only about an inch beneath the gaps. To cover the gap better, I purchased a $10 10-foot length 2.25” by 1.25” galvanized steel bent roof drip edge and two $0.72 pieces of 8” long, 4” by 4” folded galvanized flashing (because the drip edge piece wasn’t quite deep or long enough to cover front and back of the roofline) to act as a water diverter. If that solves the issue, great. If not, I will report back. :)Good luck!

This is a decent shed for the price, and the instructions are reasonably good. However, please note the position of the shed on the diagram, as it changes from picture to picture. I didn't notice this at first, and ended up putting the roof on backwards, and then wondered why the screw holes didn't line up properly -- I had sloped the roof in the wrong direction because they turned the shed around in the diagram and I didn't pick up on that. Anyway, once I figured that out and corrected my mistake everything fit together nicely. The shed is pretty sturdy, and becomes much sturdier if you put a plywood floor inside. There are a couple of extraneous holes in the roof, which I patched with roofing sealant to keep the rain out. Usually I don't think much of metal sheds because they tend to rust after a year or two, but I have this on a covered patio, so hopefully it will last several years (resin ones don't do well in our brutal Arizona sun, and they cost 2-3 times as much.)

I am not necessarily one to write reviews, but I did want to mention some things to hopefully help a potential buyer. As the title states, you get what you pay for. After the build process, I can say that it is a seemingly sturdy shed, decently sized to fit a good amount of yard tools (things like a wheel barrow and seed spreader, gardening pots, brooms, rakes, shovels, etc.), and it appears to shelter well enough against wind a rain. Once it was built, I was overall happy with it.On to the issues. with building..The process starts easy with the base (really just a frame, not a full base. Spent an extra $40 at the hardware store on pavers and wood slats to make a floor) and the walls going up without any issue. Once we got to the roof installation, issues arose. Holes were not lining up at all, the instructions failed to show as much detail as the beginning did, and things didn't make sense. We had to drill our own holes in both the roof panels and the pieces to attach the roof to the shed all because none of the holes lined up. Then, once we got past all of that and started working on the door, the lock mechanism was not aligning. Again, we had to drill our own holes and make it work.This really wasn't the end of the world if you had the right tools and patience/know how, but it was frustrating nonetheless, that it required more than what the directions suggested regarding time, tools, people, and extra reinforcement for the base. At the end of the day, we got it up and it is functioning well. You just have to be prepared to spend a bit more time/money to balance out the low cost of the Amazon shed itself.

The instructions were complicated at times but the shed is surprisingly sturdy and lightweight. It took me approximately one day by myself (I did have some help on the roof but manageable with a ladder on your own). The shed is also bigger than I expected. I originally bought it for the two mowers but now I can also fit some tools.

Es un gabinete con muy buena relación calidad/precio. Hay que armarlo y si se hace con cuidado es fácil aunque laborioso. Se requieren necesariamente dos personas para el armado y todas las piezas coincidieron sin necesidad de hacer nuevos agujeros. Algunas láminas llegaron un poco golpeadas pero para el uso que se les va a dar no representan ningún problema. Se pueden enderezar fácilmente.

El precio es accesible, el cobertizo realiza su función. Doy cuatro estrellas porque varios orificios de las piezas no coincidían y tuve que realizarlos con un taladro para hacerlos coincidir. Cabe señalar que seguí el manual al pie de la letra.

Esta bodeguita viene completa, como dice la descripción, sin piso. El material es lámina no muy gruesa, pero suficientemente resistente. El armado se debe hacer por dos personas y viene el seguimiento en un manual. En algunos pasos los diagramas no son tan precisos, pero se utiliza la lógica para concluir cómo van. Todas las piezas vienen organizadas y marcadas. Se requiere un destornillador eléctrico para mayor facilidad. Se necesita una base de madera, por eso nosotros compramos unas tablas para asentar la estructura y el resto pusimos ladrillo. Ya llovió y no se mojó por dentro. Tiene un buen tamaño para poner una estantería dentro y otras cosas. Todo llegó en perfectas condiciones, completo y a tiempo. La relación costo-beneficio es muy apropiada.

No compren este producto. Carísimo, pésima calidad, quién lo armó se cortó pues de muy mala calidad la lámina. Lamentable.Ni se puede poner en el exterior pues se va a oxidar.

Ya no podemos ensamblar más, no coinciden los hoyos para atornillar. Necesito ayuda o un tutorial o una guía más clara
