Catrimown 5x3 FT Outdoor Storage Shed, Galvanized Steel Tool Shed House for Patio Garden Backyard Lawn, Utility Tool House with Door, Dark Grey

It needs a new assemble intruction

I am giving this metal storage shed a 4 star rating for now.Positives:It was easy to build, I built this kit while sick in about 3 hours (could be done in less time). It looks nice. Easy to move when fully assembled. Floor is optional. It was cheapNegatives:To start with the instructions I recieved are horrible. Looking at the diagrams and reading what was readable gave two completely different sets of direction. And there were steps that flat out had wrong information or information from a different kit. Build quality isn't the best, although it did hold together during the build, when I moved it, and when I filled it up, there are some screw locations that are already stripped. With the amount of daylight I see from the inside I doubt it will remain dry inside when the rain hits. It might as well not have a locking feature, as it can be easily pried open especially since the latch is held on by 2 sheetmetal screws that again are stripped.For the price, I will have to say that you do get more then you paid for with this one. This is a simple storage shed to be used for some of your outdoor garden type needs. 5ft by 3ft exterior measurements for a simple and to the point weather resistant build. If your looking to add some outside storage but are limited on what you can get or dont want to spend over $200 this would be a great option for you. Build your own custom floor and add some caulking to it and you can have a weather proof shed.

This shed went together in the afternoon, mostly by myself. If you take your time in aligning the various pieces, it assembles without issue. I did have to drill 4 holes due to some alignment issues. I believe to be expected at this price point.

The metal is very thin. The metal that is supposed to tie the whole thing together and support the structure is barely acceptable. For this shed not to blow away you will need to add a heavy base and a little framing on the inside. Using some 2 x4s can make this a more cost effective project, depending on your needs. As shipped, I feel that this product needs modifications for most customers.

I don’t recommend using a drill/driver for the screws that start fine. All of these sheds are thin metal and screws can strip. Only one screw stripped this way, and the only holes that were difficult to line up were the corner protecting plastic pieces. I recommend watching the assembly video of other suppliers, as it is probably made by the same manufacturer. NOTE: It will take as long, or longer, to remove the protective vinyl from the metal as it will to assemble the shed. One bottle of whisky and a lot of patience did it for me. I worked alone, and am a slow worker. It took me approximately 4 1/2 hours to get the coating off the metal and 3 1/2-4 hours to assemble. I couldn’t be happier with it.

Great shed for the price. I honestly highly recommend buying one of these outdoor sheds.The reason why I gave this shed a 1 star review is because the 2 door hinges were unfortunately missing. This review is unfortunately the only may it seems to contact the amazon seller. Other way to "contact the seller" was to return the product. I don't want to do that because i really like this shed.Don't let this review drive you away, this shed is great, buy one! If the amazon seller sees this review could you please contact me and or send me the 2 door hindges. I will be sure to edit this review and give it the 5 stars it deserves. Thank you!Instructions were easy to follow. Protective film was covering all of the shed panels during shipping and install. Takes a bit of time to put together, but it's definitely worth it! I'll probably buy another.

It’s a 160$ shed, buy it with 160$ expectations and it’s a great deal. Yes it has some plastic sheeting on it but honestly I like it and left it on as it should add some protection. The negative reviews seem to me to be from people who either are not very handy or expected the quality of a 500$ shed. In my experience the instructions were good except for one portion that must have been from another model but all the parts were there to build. Make sure you are building on a level surface and it went together great. Yes it has some places where light shines through, but again 160$, limit your expectations. Some expanding foam and you will be all set, personally I caulked the roof screws to be safe. Took me about 3-4 hours to assemble. Overall I would buy again, great value for what it is.

I really like this shed. The directions are actually pretty good. There were a few points where I got turned around, because I jumped the gun building and had to go back to the directions. Having to reverse some of my work, no big deal.The materials were appropriate to the application. Only after the whole thing neared completion did I realize this (I had doubts as I was building it). You need to be real deliberate and patient when building this. It’s not IKEA easy, but it’s not unachievable either.I read somewhere it takes 2 1/2 hrs to build this. It does not. It takes longer. I did this by myself and it took most of a work day. I am a life long construction worker and metalworker so I would put my skills on the higher side. Do not be surprised with how long it takes. It will work out.I would recommend: wearing gloves, read through the directions prior and follow diligently, don’t do this in any wind, assemble lose then tighten screws near completion, patience.You will be frustrated by the tiny screws. You will be frustrated with the plastic you should peel of of nearly every piece. You will assume the product is defective at points (until you re read the directions). But if you stay the course, remain calm and stay focused you will be rewarded with a neat little modern shed that will raise the stakes of your backyard game and impress the neighbors and maybe even your wife (I think she’s impressed?… I digress)In the end this is a fine little shed, especially at this price. I recommend.
