Greesum Metal Outdoor Storage Shed 5FT x 3FT, Steel Utility Tool Shed Storage House with Door & Lock, for Backyard Garden Patio Lawn (5' x 3'), Brown

Me gusto porque puedo almacenar muchas cosas y que se mantengas resguardadas. Lamentablemente me falto una pieza y no me di cuanta hasta el final. No deseo devolver, lo que necesito es la pieza faltante. La pieza es W1A

This shed took about 2.5 hours to assemble with my wife’s occasional help. I’ve seen other reviews say this is a two person job and for the most part that’s true. However, if you have something like saw horses or ratchet straps or really anything that will support the vertical portions without you having to hold them, then it’s a one person job. The pros: - this shed is a GREAT value for the money. A huge cut above anything I could find at Walmart or Sam’s or Home Depot, etc - it’s fairly easy to assemble if you’ve got an impact driver. Don’t buy any means use a screwdriver unless you’re just a glutton for punishment. You sometimes need the extra force of the impact driver to bring the metal into the correct position. The thing is somewhat sturdy on its own. It’s heavy enough that someone couldn’t just pick it up and throw it or something to get to the contents. It’s got a plastic coating which I did NOT tear off because I figured it added to the weather protection Cons: - unless you’re a short person you won’t be able to stand up in it. The thing is pretty short. But then again it’s a storage shed. You’re probably not gonna be walking around in it. - The screws provided are incredibly small and I wouldn’t trust them to hold up to much - The thing is fairly weak overall. If I fell into it I think I’d bust through the walls. And if two people wanted to get your stuff, then all they’d have to do is stand on either side and pick up the shed since it does not have a bottom - The included latch is flimsy and so is the hardware. But again, you’re paying for the shed, not top quality hardware. Again, that’s an aftermarket thing. - The thing is not super waterproof. Water WILL get in the bottom. I haven’t observed yet whether it gets through the roof or the sides but it definitely gets through the bottom if there’s nothing under it and it’s open at the floor - Overall, it’s a cheap shed and you get what you pay for, but if you do what I suggest below, you get a really quality shed. TO MAKE IT BETTER AND STRONGER: I set out to reinforce this cheap budget shed and make it at least a bit more intruder proof and make it not feel like it’s blow away with some heavy winds. It cost me an extra $70 or so at Home Depot if you already have some basic tools (drill, impact driver, circular saw, screws) Here’s what I did (see my pics and video in the post) if you’re even a slight bit handy you should be able to do this. 1. I laid five concrete blocks ($2.98 each) on the corners and center of the bottom. This helped to weigh the shed down and provide a raised platform so water running under it wouldn’t automatically touch the contents of the shed. (I live at a rental property so I couldn’t do anything drastic to anchor it. If I owned the property I would’ve used concrete anchors through the base into the slab on my back porch or I would’ve used rebar to hold it in the ground like stakes. Lots of different options to anchor it to the ground) 2. I bought the cheapest plywood I could get that had some sort of weather coating on it. It was $14 for a 4x8ft sheet at Home Depot. Don’t remember what it was called. Other options could be buying a sheet of plywood and painting or coating with epoxy to help it not rot. Really anything like that’d work. I cut it to the dimensions of the base and sat it on top of the concrete blocks 3. Next came framing (something I’d never done before this, so you can do it too). I bought a 8ft piece of 2x6” pressure treated wood and two 12ft 2x4” pressure treated wood. I cut the 2x4s into four vertical pieces to serve as studs in all four corners of the shed. I anchored these to the shed usIng Tek wood-to-metal self drilling screws that I already had on hand. Lots of different screws would work but these got the job done. I used a combination of 1 3/4” screws and 3” screws going down the side. I then used the 2x6s to make shelves running perpendicular to the 2x4s. They were attached with cheap decking joist things (not sure what they’re actually called, you can see them in the video). They were similarly secured with tek screws. 4. Use an assortment of hooks or whatever you like to hang things from the “shelves” and organize that bad boy! 5. Lastly I upgraded the lock. For $8 at Home Depot you can get a much nicer locking mechanism and secure it with stronger bolts than the provided ones. Haven’t gotten around to installing the lock at the time of writing this but it’s not hard. 6. Optional: I didn’t do this but if you want to make extra sure you don’t let in the elements or cause you’re shed to rust, you could use finishing washers with every single screw OR go back and slop some sealant over each screw to make it airtight. I’m not too worried about that though. Prior to doing this I searched high and low to find a tutorial for how to make this stronger and I couldn’t find anything. Literally seemed like no one had ever done this which I find hard to believe. So I share this to say that I’m not overly handy but I could do it. Total extra cost was around $70-$80 so for about $200 you can have a REALLY solid shed. Hope this helps somebody.

It took 2 people about 3 hours to assemble it correctly, some pieces are hard to determine which way or direction they go, but most of it was simple enough to figure out form the pictures, no written instructions. I followed some other reviewers by placing some concrete blocks on the inside corners to help weigh it down, and a weather treated board to serve as the floor on top of the blocks. Had to straighten a few pieces, but that was simple enough, it’s not the highest quality, but we didn’t want to spend $500 just to store $300 worth of stuff. Since we placed it on our deck, we are not concerned about any theft. If you have it in an open area, there are holes already drilled for anchors on the bottom frame. Overall, for the price, it’ll do for a few years at least.

Es un gabinete con muy buena relación calidad/precio. Hay que armarlo y si se hace con cuidado es fácil aunque laborioso. Se requieren necesariamente dos personas para el armado y todas las piezas coincidieron sin necesidad de hacer nuevos agujeros. Algunas láminas llegaron un poco golpeadas pero para el uso que se les va a dar no representan ningún problema. Se pueden enderezar fácilmente.

Buen producto aunque llegó con algunos abollones. Cuesta un poco de trabajo armalo aun con el instructivo en mano.
