Patiowell 3 x 3 FT Outdoor Storage Shed, Black | Small Metal Storage Shed, Single Lockable Door, Garden Tool Shed For Backyard Garden Patio Lawn

Perfect size for a patio or small yard. It feels sturdy, keeps garden tools and supplies protected from the weather, and the locking mechanism adds nice peace of mind. Assembly takes a bit of patience, but the final result is well worth the effort and value.

This is a light (emphasis on "Light") shed we bought to store bird food and misc garden tools. It fit our needs to a "T."I put the whole thing together by myself, but an extra pair of hands would have helped me assemble it faster. The paper instructions were mostly clear, but in a couple of spots I had to go on-line to see the .PDF instructions so I could enlarge the picture in order to see how to position the left & right strengtheners. Other than that, the whole thing assembled easily.Finally, for $120, this is a great value.

It was difficult to find a shed with a depth greater than 24" and in matte black, but this perfectly suited our needs. Assembly was simple, but took all of the 2-3 hours estimated in the instructions (if not more). This wouldn't have been the case except that each sheet of aluminum was wrapped in a thin plastic. It was easiest to peel it off after letting the material sit in the sun for a few minutes. If you someplace with milder weather than in Phoenix, Arizona where we live, you'll likely a heat gun or hairdryer to soften the plastic. It took 3-4 sessions of about forty minutes to progressively unpackage each piece and assemble it.One issue I discovered is that two of the pre-cut trim pieces were shipping too long. There are four pieces that go around the edge of the roof, protecting the sharp edges of the metal material. The two of these that trim along the front and back sides of the shed, were not sized correctly. The pre-drilled holes in the corners extended about 1/8" to 1/4" too far past the hole they were supposed to match up to. I temporary forced them closer to reach the pre-drilled holes on the corners, until I have time to cut these shorter and drill new holes.If you have the patience to unpackage and assemble it, the item itself is great value.

I really like this storage shed. Although it doesn't look very big from the outside, it actually holds a lot of stuff. My tools used to be scattered all over the yard, but now they can all be stored inside! I finished assembling it today, though I haven't had time to build a base for it yet. I also plan to install shelves inside to organize all the tools. My only concern is that it isn't completely airtight— I understand there might be small gaps. A single can of expanding foam sealant is all it takes to make it perfect. The price was very attractive, and the size is just right for my needs. It took a little time to assemble, but now I have a proper place to store all that clutter.

Take the one star reviews seriously (I wish I had).1. Assembly involves 224 pieces.2. Assembly will require 2 people because the panels are too flimsy to support themselves while being fit in place.3. The shed cannot be assembled while wearing the included sets of gloves (the parts are too small). So, you will almost certainly cut your hands on the sharp edges. I got cuts on both of mine.4. The shrink wrap on the panels is too thin to protect them from getting scratched during transit.5. Removing the shrink wrap from the panels probably comes close to doubling the assembly time. Laying the panels in the sun prior to trying to remove the protective film helps, but it is still a tedious and time-consuming process. This is made all the more frustrating because the film does not perform its protective duties.6. Pictures of the product show it with shelving. It does not have shelves. The sides panels are too flimsy to support adding any shelving. After having received the product, I purchased free-standing shelving to meet my needs. This more than doubled the cost of the project.I needed a storage shed to fit into a very specific space (under an exterior stairwell), and this product fits that bill. In my experience, that is its only redeeming quality. My advice would be to keep shopping. Don't bother with this product unless you have a very compelling reason (like size/shape) to do so.

I was looking for something to replace an old wooden platform that covered my crawlspace access point and this shed was perfect! I was able to assemble 95% of this by myself, but it would go faster with 2 people. Despite a few flaws from shipping, it looks very sleek!PROS: Very sturdy once assembled! Not too heavy to where it’s difficult to move from one location to another. Very spacious for a small shed. The instructions were just diagrams, but fairly easy to follow.CONS: The holes did not line up on the base, so you will need to drill holes in order to anchor it to concrete or a wooden platform. Step 21 shows that you are to use F1 screws to attach the handle. This is incorrect and you will need to use the F2 bolts/nuts. Prepare to spend a lot of time removing the shrink wrap and expect to still find scratches and dents from being in transit.

This shed is reasonable value given its low cost. For the most part assembly was straightforward. Each piece is labeled although the directions are, at times, somewhat unclear and occasionally faulty. Overall quality control is pretty mediocre. I had one side panel that did not fit properly. It seemed to have been bent at the wrong location. I was able to warp it into place but it looks a little funky. The opposite side panel fit perfectly.Some fasteners were indicated for locations where they did not fit (like a sheet metal screw through a pre-punched hole that was too big for the fastener) but could be replaced with other fasteners in the kit. Other pre-punched holes were too small for the correct fasteners (hinge fasteners on the jamb) which I had to drill out with a bigger pilot. The pre-punched roof panel holes were more than an inch off. I had to pick whether to fasten down to the wall brace at the ridge or the eave and then had to drill my own pilots for the other side.This shed is short -- tools like rakes or shovels will barely fit and not standing vertically. Fortunately the metal base frame has a profile that will fit over a 2x, so I built a base out of pressure treated 2x8s which gives me about 7 inches more vertical space.

I needed a shed to fit in a particular space and these sheds fit the bill. My daughter and I put them together, it took a bit of time. The directions are like IKEA directions so if you are not good with that, find someone that is. Two pairs of gloves are included with the kit and I recommend using them. Building the first shed, I really didn’t need the gloves. There are small screws and nuts and bolts which makes it difficult with gloves, but with the second shed, the edges were much sharper and i sliced my hand twice. So wear the gloves.Not all of the holes line up perfectly, some not at all. Having a fine drill bit was definitely doable to drill proper holes. I'd say that probably 98% of the holes connections line up.On the first shed, it was missing one piece…the very last piece. I contacted their customer service and they replied quickly and sent out the missing piece immediately. Also, with shipping dates, both sheds arrived before their predicted dates, so that was fine, too.For the money, i think these sheds are excellent. I didn’t fancy spending a few thousand dollars for a shed that I'd have to get permits to build. My sheds are nestled between some trees and have a bit of protection from the wind ( it’s very wind where I live). I did put them on pallets in case of minor flooding and I built a floor on those pallets from leftover flooring. You can get that at any ReStore for little money. Then I attached the shed to the floor. I don’t think these sheds would be great standing alone as they are very lightweight. I’m almost 70 years old and could lift the shed by myself onto the pallets.All in all, I am quite happy with them and would buy another if I needed. At first, I was going to give four stars, but I changed it to five stars because they suit my needs perfectly.
