Keter Manor Outdoor Garden Storage Shed, Grey, 4 x 3 ft

So easy to assemble, rather light so used paving stones as floor. So not going no where. Put shelving rack in, perfect with more room for bigger items on floor. Looks so nice too

I bought this item to house a washing machine and tumble dryer outside, to free up space in the kitchen. It arrives flat packed (obviously) and needs a fair bit of assembly. However, the instructions are clear and complete, every piece is stickered or stamped with its part code (meaning it's quite easy to find the right parts), including the screws, and it's machined to fit together very well with no adjustment or cutting needed. The manufacturer even includes a spadger to make sure the corrugated plastic panels fit inside the corner pieces neatly. Once assembled it's sturdy and looks like it should last for years. Walls, floor and ceiling are all corrugated plastic, but this is pretty decent stuff and isn't going to bend, although if you were putting anything particularly heavy in there you might want to put some board on the floor. Reinforcement rods for the roof apex and hinge and latch points on the door are all supplied. There is provision for bolting it to a base, if you're not keeping anything heavy in it to weigh it down. The door is wide enough to get a washing machine in (600mm appliance), and high enough to squeeze a tumble dryer on top. However, the shed is not completely optimised for this use as the door is on the long wall - if it were on the short wall then you'd be able to use the space better for a washroom. Overall it's difficult to see how Keter could make this any better, unless they were to come round and assemble it for you themselves. If you're reasonably handy with DIY you should have no problem assembling it (although an electric screwdriver or drill with adjustable torque will make your life much easier - not an impact driver as it will destroy the plastic.) The instructions say that it needs two to build, but I built it on my own, struggling only with the roof where you really need somebody on the outside pushing down while a person on the inside uses the spadger to fit all the edges in neatly. The roof took more time than it would have done with 2, but it wasn't impossible. If there was a similar product better shaped for fitting a washing machine and dryer, I'd have gone for that, but otherwise this is a pretty decent product and I think most people aren't going to be disappointed.

Firstly, as one or more previous reviewers have stated, you need to two drill drivers - one to predrill holes and the other for driving screws. If you only have a single drill/driver then this will drive you mad! Frankly, the lack of self cutting screws for the plastic panels is inexcusable for a product of this type and cost, especially in this day and age. I bought three of these and it took me over five hours to assemble the first one. The instructions tell you to insert the corner verticals and then slot in the panels in their upright position. After faffing about unsuccessfully with this, I found that it was much simpler and effective to assemble the corner verticals onto the side panels completely before inserting them into the base. A rubber mallet was also much more uaeful than the supplied spatula/spudger for this step. The next main problem I encountered was inserting the front panel (the one with the door aperture). The instructions (and even more than one YouTube video) tells you to simply slide the panel into the corner channels as the last vertical panel to go in. I have to disagree with this because the fit on mine was very tight (unlike the videos I had seen where they simply slotted in the panel like it was a loose slot fit). This part alone took me over an hour simply due to the tight fit of the corner extrusions over the plastic panels (and it was also very warm so the plastics were already quite pliable). After much cursing and the help of washing up detergent, I did manage to coax the front panel into position. I also had a problem with panel size tolerance. One of my side panels was slightly longer than the other, which caused a problem securing the bottom without warping/bending the bottom out of level. I also wasted a whole bunch of time trying to figure out how best to align slightly protruding panels (flush top or bottom). I decided to align tops, hoping for good roof fitment. In retrospect, I believe it would have been better to flush align panels on the bottom edges to ensure the base of all panels get fastened correctly without pulling the base out of level/flatness. The roof would be easier to jiggle to compensate. I did not experience the difficulties that other have had installing the roof. If you fit the front end first, tilted as illustrated, and using the spatula/spudger as needed then the roof should go on fairly uneventfully. After mounting the door hinges and bolt, I found that the so called reinforcement inserts for the door to be inadequate. They really need to be solid inserts instead of hollow moulded. I added my own mesh to the air vent apertures for improved insect screening. As a person in property maintenance, I am certainly no stranger to driving screws, and have done my fair share of driving hundreds of screws into floors and subfloors in a day. However, putting together one of these plastic sheds really pushed my patience with screwing stuff together - purely because they cheaped out on not providing self-cutting screws! I was hoping to get two of these built in a day but sadly only managed one. However, now knowing the installation foibles, I reckon I could put up each subsequent unit in less than three hours. All in all, it's an OK plastic shed for the money. It ia not difficult to assemble - just fiddly as heck! When you see the corrugated plastic panels you get a cheap and flimsy impression, but once fully assembled does feel sturdier than its constituent parts would suggest. Obviously, I am unable to comment on its longevity.

I was put off buying this ketter shed due to some bad reviews, I don’t normally leave reviews but in this case I feel I must off all the plastic shed types the ketter one seem to have more good reviews than most so I opted for this one, so pleased I did I assembled it myself and have mediocre diy skills at best, watching a YouTube video and using the instructions together I found it relatively easy to assemble it looks great all the parts fitted well and extra screws overall I’m absolutely thrilled with the shed especially considering the price I would definitely recommend it a very good product I’ll definitely be buying more from this brand

Brilliant little shed. Easy to assemble did require two people at times but not hard. There is space to lock the shed. Ventilation in the shed and watertight. For the price can’t go wrong. Excellent

Very happy with the quality of this shed. I did think I could put it up on my own but found the roof awkward to attach (I' would get one side in and then it popped out again when I tried to get the other side in). My 27 year old daughter came to the rescue and she got it fitted quite quickly. "Read the instructions Dad, it says two people".

Muy contenta con la compra, compare muchísimo y este era el más adecuado en relación calidad precio, el montaje está muy bien, puedes poner la ventana en el lado que prefieras, eso si hay que hacer una base nivelada, yo la hice de hormigón. Las instrucciones se entienden bien, sí que es verdad que los tornillos algunos hay que ponerlos según el dibujo, pero se atornillan bien. He de decir que en las partes de metal, hemos hecho un pequeño orificio con el taladro para poder poner los tornillos. Queda preciosa y caben bastantes cosas. Aún no ha llovido, pero se ve resistente y no creo que entre agua. Viene en una caja grande, mejor estar dos personas cuando la traiga el repartidor. Vino en el plazo establecido.

Hallo, nach langem überlegen und vielen Fachgesprächen welches Dünnblechiges Gerätehaus ich denn nun nehme, entschied ich mich dann doch zu diesem Kunststoffgerätehaus. Warum? Weil mir das Blech einfach zu dünn war und ich bedenken hatte, das dieses einem kleinen Lüftchen überhaupt standhält. Nun aber zu diesem Haus: Angeliefert von einer netten Spedition, die sich vorher mit mir über den Liefertermin telefonisch abgesprochen hatte. Hat alles bestens geklappt. Als Untergrund haben wir uns im Garten eine Fläche von 2x2 Metern gepflastert (Betonpflaster), macht einfach optisch mehr her. Dann an einem sonnigen Tag begannen wir zu zweit den Aufbau. Die mitgelieferte Aufbauanleitung ist Idiotensicher und einfach zu verstehen. Auch die Teile, ob groß oder klein, sind alle per Aufkleber oder Einstanzung gekennzeichnet. Als erstes der Grundrahmen, welchen wir gleich mit zwei Schrauben und Dübeln auf dem Pflaster befestigten (vorher an die Winkligkeit denken ;) ). Dann ging es auch schon vorwärts. Die Seitenwände standen im nu, alles ging Problemlos und hat auf anhieb gepasst. Zu zweit sollte man aber unbedingt sein. Schon allein das Bier dazu schmeckt dann einfach besser ;) Hat man anfangs noch bedenken zwecks der Stabilität, schwindet dies mit dem aufsetzen des Daches. Einziger Kritikpunkt waren dann die Türen, obwohl alle Winkel perfekt in Waage waren, gehen die Türen ein wenig stramm, das heißt, dass es beim zu machen ein wenig klemmt. Auch die Scharniere sitzen nicht optimal, was der Funktion aber jedoch nicht schadet. Alle Teile waren in Ordnung und alles Schrauben zu genüge vorhanden. Löcher brauchen keine vorgebohrt sein, da mitunter selbstschneidende Schrauben dabei sind ;) Der Boden ist auch aus Kunststoff welcher leicht nachgibt (Federt) hier haben wir noch alte Borde gehabt und diese hineingelegt, so ist es noch stabiler und es lässt sich besser laufen darauf :) Zusammenfassend kann man sagen: Ein ungewohnt entspannter Aufbau, bei dem es wirklich keine Probleme gab. (Zeit ca 4 std bei ca 25°C) Es macht einen sehr wertigen Eindruck und wirkt äußerst Robust und stabil Vor den Lüftungsschlitzen haben wir noch jeweils Fliegengitter innen angebracht, was ja auch keine große Sache darstellt. Wasserdicht ist es und Wind hat ihm auch nichts geschadet. Alles andere bringt die Zeit aber ich bin positiv gestimmt und kann es nur ausdrücklich empfehlen!

La casetta è davvero utile e ben fatta. Da montare è semplice ma servono comunque 2 persone. Non è il massimo avvitare viti sulla plastica senza guide ecc ma la struttura è comunque solida e non entra l'acqua. Ha anche il suo pavimento ma non fateci troppo affidamento, io ho messo sopra dei pannelli di legno sagomati ed è perfetta. L'altezza è conforme ai regolamenti comunali e si sta in piedi senza problemi. Consigliata

Montage : il faut être deux et avoir de la place pour poser les pièces, mais c'est plutôt simple. Compter 5-6h. Prévoir une visseuse (plus de 200 vis !) et de quoi percer des avant-trous car les vis auto foreuses mettent du temps à accrocher (pour ça j'ai utilisé une dremel sans fil) Un seul petit bémol : à moins d'avoir un sol parfaitement plan et de ne faire aucune erreur, les portes sont difficiles à aligner (les charnières sont fixes et on visse dans des trous pré-percés dans des montants métalliques) Il m'a fallu repercer des trous pour aligner la serrure

Leichter Aufbau, alles was man braucht.
