Properly set expectations
I tend to rate versus what I expect for the price...I don't expect a Ferrari for the price of a Ford. This shed was as expected. My only complaint is the instructions appeared to be erroneous in a place or two, but easily addressed. All parts were there, everything fit, and it works very well for my needs. Note the slope of the roof - if you place up against your home, rain will run towards the back - closer to your foundation. But the product is an excellent value for the $.

Patiowell 5x3 FT Outdoor Storage Shed
This 5'x3' shed is surprisingly good quality, and I think a bargain for $125-ish. Here are my thoughts after the install:PRO's:Very affordable.Every single hole except the two tiny little overlapping holes on the middle roof panels lined up. I had to re-drill those 2 holes - no big deal.Door hang perfectly level.Instructions were pretty easy to go from - except for the RH and LH door frame parts and the top and bottom door reinforcement ribs (see CON's for more info).No missing parts, even had a few extra fasteners.Looks good after assembly, finish pant durability yet to be determined.Structure is surprisingly rigid after tightening down all the screws.CON's:Instructions (drawing detail) was not clear enough regarding the top and bottom door reinforcing ribs, just too dang small, I even used a magnifying glass to try to determine the orientation.The manufacturer put the door frame labels over the protective plastic, so when we tore off the plastic, we lost track of which side was LH or RH. After some trial and error, got it figured out.The protective plastic wrap. OH my .... what a colossal pain in the rear. I had seen a couple reviews saying it's a 3-4 hour install. I call BS on that. It took my wife and I about 7 hours and other than the two "problems" mentioned above, it went well. I even used an electric drill for all the fasteners.There were some dents in the metal, about half way up from the ground. I'm assuming from the package being palletized for shipping? I did not notice any damage to the box. Instructions say you can "fix" the dents with a pair of pliers - good luck with that. This shed is not in my back yard where I would notice the dents on a daily basis, otherwise I might have complained, and I did not get to put it together until well after the return period.It did leak a little, but it was a hard, driving rain. If you have something in it that MUST be kept dry, then bag or containerize it.Install tip - do not tighten down ANY fasteners (other than the bottom frame after making sure it's square). Put everything together, then go back and tighten all the fasteners. I believe that is why 99.9% of the holes lined up.Despite the CON's, I'd still recommend this shed. Just allow at least 6 hours to assemble, unless you don't care about removing the protective plastic wrap.

Created More Problems Than Expected
I didn't expect high quality from this product because it is cheap for the storage area but the amount of PROBLEMS it created was more than anything I expected. Not only does it have NO FRAMING, the whole structure is held together by the roof. If the place you're putting it is even slightly unlevel (I spent hours leveling it with a handyman), it becomes off kilter and doesn't come together properly so the holes don't fit. The sides are are thin as a soda can and came pretty banged up in transit so FORGET ABOUT AESTHETICS. But that's not it, THE ROOF LEAKS, CONTINUOUSLY, even in places where the holes matched up with the support beams. Given that there are over a HUNDRED screws in the roof, that created a big problem for me. (I just noticed this recently because the past months have been dry here.) After spending an hour on a ladder putting silicone over all the screw holes, I realized that the price of this metal shed was definitely not worth the problems it created. Would not recommend!

I built this 10X8 alone by myself. It's doable
I watched 10-15 videos of people taking several days with help. I did it in less than a day, plus a couple hours after work pre-building the roof beams, wall tops, and building, squaring, and screwing the base down to the platform I built.You need to be organized. Build the big complicated pieces first have them ready to go on. Use a tool belt like carpenters use and keep the bag of screws and plastic washers in it. Read the instructions a bunch of times and pay attention to the locations and which way things face compared to the base. The only thing I had real issue with was the top most part of the roof, and if I had a better ladder I'd have wedged a couple of 2x4s under the beam and put them on after getting all the panels on. Lifting one up from the center where it was attached was a pain, if you need to do it put one more panel on first. That being said despite seeming flimsy it's well designed and once it's all together it's VERY solid. I'm going to frame out a couple walls inside so I can add wood so I can hang stuff and lean things against the wall without worrying about denting it, but it's not needed for strength. I might add a little reinforcement just because we sometimes get a lot of snow and I don't feel like shoveling a roof etc.The bad: the door latch hardware is a joke. There is a gap so rain can pass through the center, I just added a strip of folded drip edging that I pounded flat and used the extra provided screws on the back of the fixed door (with latches on top and bottom). The fixed door latches are good. I also added screws along the edge of the roof, you don't even need to drill the screws they provide are very high quality and if you just want to add a screw here and there you just line it up where you want it and bump the back of your driver with your palm, the tips are sharp and will give you a bite enough to drive it through. Also they give you plenty of extra hardware.All said, I'm very happy with the shed. It's strong, looks good, the plastic on each panel really is just extra protection and I figure if it starts to peel from the sun it will be easy to take up piecemeal. Do your prep, have a good level surface for it, square your base well before you get going and pre-build everything you can, having the wall tops, roof beams, the peak of the roof with vents already installed and the braces etc. That made it a breeze. Once you get the corners up with one panel on each put your upper walls on get it all screwed in and you'll have it together in 6 hours.

LOTS OF TINY SCREWS N GROMMETS!
The roof side triangles (2) designed to angle the roof do not line up with predrilled holes! Very frustrating! Bought to house vegtable garden supports, tomatoes cages, and poles. Directions were decent and thete are videos that help. Definitely need two people to assemble. Will not hold up in a hurricane though!
