Outdoor Storage Shed, 5x3 Ft Metal Steel Tiny House with Frame Floor & Lockable Door, Vertical Outside Storage Building for Garden, Backyard, Lawn, Patio Utility, Tool Storage

Instructions can use some improvements and are somewhat confusing at times. Instructions say to not construct on a windy day. But a very light breeze can also be a problem. The building is very unstable at first because you have to do all the corners and they are standing with very little support. A light breeze of any kind can blow it over. Be sure to plan on finishing all sides if you don't have the time to also do the roof that day (It takes longer to construct than what it says for sure). That can be a stopping point if no wind is expected. Instructions say that you need 3-4 ppl to construct. However, my husband and I did it with just the two of us. Some parts were tricky, but it can be done. The pieces come with a thin film on them. We did not notice it at first. This has to be removed, and it takes a LOT of time to do so. The windows can be placed on any side which is nice. Once the roof is on and everything is secured together it is actually nice and sturdy. We built ours on timbers, so we can secure it to something. Don't want it to blow away. Overall, this is a really nice building for the money. The savings comes from putting it together yourself, which is not the simplest task. The look of the building is very nice. We will be adding some additional framing on the inside, because it's not very strong to be leaning anything against the inside walls. We would definitely buy this again and may actually do so for another area. You can't beat the price, and it looks good!

First, the unit came decently packed. Instructions were absolutely hard to follow, drawings are confusing some times causing problems during ensambling. The thickness of the metal is similar to a soda can (I afraid of gusty winds). Parts were complete. The seller is misleading because the size is not 12x10, is shorter by 6 to 8 inches. Some sheets were showing some rust. I will not recommend this shed metal unless you find the way to reinforce it to rest assured of strong winds.

I purchased the 10 x 12' shed March 2025 and really like it. It was very time consuming to put together but all the pre-drilled holes lined up perfectly. The entire building is sturdy once assembled and it has already withstood a heavy wind storm. The pros: (1) overall design with woodgrain panels and charcoal black trim, (2) size of door opening and height of building with its moderately pitched roof, (3) precision of pre-dilled holes. Cons: (1) peeling the plastic wrap from all the panels and trim pieces, (2) lack of written assembly instructions. My overall opinion is that the building may seem flimsy until it is fully assembled but once assembled it should last many years. I had 3 friends help and it did take about 3 afternoons to complete due to the lack of written instructions and vague diagrams. If you take your time, have a couple of extra hands to help and make sure the base frame is level before continuing the assembly, you should have no trouble. And, do not attempt to assemble it if there is the slightest amount of wind. The panels are flimsy until all the screws are fastened to the frame.

I've put many of these metal sheds together over the last 40 years and they're not a big deal to assemble. You just need A LOT of patience. And I just happen to enjoy the process. I received the 3x5 to use as a tool shed and everything was in great shape. The only problem was a missing latch mechanism so I emailed the company and within a few hours received a FedEx tracking number for my replacement part. I was impressed with their customer service. So I went ahead and put the shed together (here's a tip: use a blow dryer to heat up and peel off the protective film on the panels). I didn't have any problems with hole alignments. But I was surprised a few days later when my replacement part arrived and turned out to be a whole new shed. It was obviously a product return that somebody else got frustrated with and carelessly crammed back into the box, but I didn't care. I just wanted the latch out of it. All in all, I'm very happy with my shed. It matches our log home, and it is tucked away under a carport, secured to concrete and full of rakes and shovels. No problems at all. But I'm an old retired guy with lots of spare time and who enjoys building these sorts of things. If you have less time and less patience, I'd recommend going with something a little easier.

I paid $599 for this 10x12 shed about $150 more than other brands because it showed a picture of a nice metal frame in the description. THERE IS NO METAL FRAME!!! THE SELLER IS MISLEADING... of course you don't discover this till you start assembling it and it is nolonger returnable. if this shed had a metal frame that constructed first and the paneling attached to a frame it would have been 10x easier to build. I feel cheated out of the $150 extra i paid and a extra 1/2 day for two people because I did not get what was advertised and I paid for.

Manual says 2 or 3 people to build. I did it by myself in about 9 hours. I made 1x3 hockey sticks to support panels at all 4 corners until I could get the mid purling in place. I built a 6'x8' platform but didn't cut the second sheet of plywood off so I could build the shed and have access to back wall. The only trouble I had was the gable ends having to try and hold all 3 pieces together. What I did was install the top purling with 4 loose screws, then I notched the gable metal at those 4 screws. That allowed me to slip the gable metal behind siding and Infront of purling and then screwed it all together. My biggest problem was the top screw in the ridge beam was so tight I couldn't get my fingers in there to attach that tiny nut so I just used some self drilling screws to replace. Again I was impressed by the quality and perfect alignment of every single screw point.
