This review is the 10 ft by 12 ft 2016 model.

We bought this shed with high hopes of being able to put our porch full of saws, engine hoists, automotive gear, and old shovels in to get them out of the way. I carefully planned for the arrival by spending $200 on wood to build a floor with 3/4" plywood, 2x4s and 4x4 footers on paver stones. The kids used it as a dance stage for a week before the shed arrived. It was the best part of the whole ordeal.

So the shed arrived and I began putting it together. This was a solo project to start with but you will not be able to do it alone. It takes at least two people to do some portions and three if you want to do it without swearing.

I put the surround down and started on the corners. That's when we noticed that the panels are made from the floppiest tin-foil thick steel you've ever seen. It's like trying to stand up a piece of paper in the wind. If you're careful and it's not windy outside you can get by with doing this part alone by propping the corner pieces up against ladders and boards, anything over 5 ft tall will work. Then you have to tie them all together and it gets easier for a while. If you haven't got 10 ladders or other prop pieces you'll need some friends because if you let go this stuff will bend and fall over onto the ground like a french soldier.

If you make it past that point you can start the cross pieces and get moving forward with some confidence. It took us two weekends (me and a part time helper) to get it put together. Some of the screws don't line up well so you'll have to finagle them to get them in place. Often the pieces aren't shown properly on the instructions either so you think it's right when it's actually flipped around the other direction. If you can't find the hole, flip the piece around and try again. Even if it looks wrong on the instructions.

When wrapping it up and putting the roof on, don't lean on it at all. Use a tall ladder and pray you can reach across the roof to get the top on. This fella is 6'1 and I barely made it. If you lean on it the whole panel will collapse and break through to the floor below - with you following.

Once it's up it looks pretty good. It gets stupid hot inside in the summer, but a white roof might change that. (it's brown now, not like the picture). Just don't lean against the side panels or they'll dent. If a branch drops on the roof it'll collapse. If the kids put their hand on the side and lean they'll dent them. It's just so flimsy that I can't imagine that it'll last. I might have gotten the same protection from buying $100 worth of tarps and just covering my stuff up for 2 years.

My assumption is that it'll last 2-3 years then I'll be forced to tear it all down and build a real shed in there. Guess I better get a book and start learning how to do that.
