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!

The shed itself is good, BUT the instructions might as well be written in Chinese along with the diagrams not telling you what to do at all. Several times it just had an arrow pointing at another piece not explaining how they line up or anything. We had to go back and mess with multiple peices hoping this time was the last and that'd it work. Time wise I'd triple whatever the manufacturer said because half the time is spent trying to interpret the sad excuses for instructions then fixing things that don't work. In the end if you can get one prebuild save your time, back and mental sanity but if you can't you've been warned.

It took my wonderful wife (who helps assemble these purchases) and myself 3.5 hours to assemble, less not pulling all the clear plastic off.Pros- For the $140.00 for the 3 x 5 shed it was a good purchase. Some engineering went into these things so all the holes line up. It is pretty sturdy after it is all assembled. The door latch and hinges are of good quality. It is attractive.Cons--Instructions are what they are...not the greatest- you have to use common sense also. If they would just leave all the silly clear plastic off. It would take another hour plus to remove it all (we did not except for the doors). The two doors did not line up well to close. I had to move the door jambs over a 1/4" and screw new holes so the doors would close freely. Charlie W. - AZ.

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.

Absolute worst thing I’ve bought on Amazon. Only the smallest hands, and smallest tools, and protective gear can prepare you for how ridiculous this is. I’m a builder by trade and I’m telling you, this is a nightmare. Then, after getting it stood up, I went to put in the roof panels which were fabricated upside down and not to correct dimension, and now I can’t disassemble to return it. I learned my lesson the hard way, save yourself the trouble. This product made me go “ pro tariff”

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.
