Cover-It5x3 Metal Outdoor Galvanized Steel Storage Shed with Swinging Single Lockable Door for Backyard or Patio Storage of Supplies, Tools, and Toys for Lawn, Garden, Camping and Play, Tan

Contrary to directions, I built body and roof separately, then attached the roof at the end. I built by myself, which I do not endorse. Do not drop screws on grass! Keep parts and tools organized. Great idea for durable, cheap floor: I laid paving stones over the area for flooring and anchored the area with 9" galvanized nails into the ground. I did this after placing the storage on top of the building perimeter as well. I wanted elevation, so I made the floor two paving stones high. The building and floor are now solidly together.

To begin: The box arrived with minor damage and clearly had been retaped. A quick review it appeared ok. However when the day came to assemble it became apparent it was not ok.The instructions say to use gloves, but unfortunately reaching into the box to get the instructions and gloves can be dicey. The gloves do not prevent cuts so be very careful not only in handling product but also when removing the film. The worse cut recieved was removing the film. You have to take the gloves off to pick the plastic off. The instructions say you can leave it in place until fully assembled but no. Some of the plastic is so stuck it does not pull off easily. Also the instructions are translated and at times awkward. Fortunately for me I had already "assembled more than two people" years ago so they were able to help me be "very relaxed".Most of the instructions are pictorial and can be figured out with some effort. Unfortunately not all the pre drilled pieces match up. As I laid out parts nothing seemed to be missing but it appeared it may have been a return as the more I looked the more bent, dented, scraped and dirty the pieces were. It appeared to me to be repacked damaged product. The engineering of the shed is sturdy enough, but the quality of this particular shed was just not there. In terms of money and value, the shed should be ok if the pieces arrive in good condition.I have seen the shed from multiple sellers so this comment is gear for this Amazon seller only: The customer service was great. I applied for a return however it is required I pay for shipping. I did not want to pay to ship it back. I contacted the seller and they requested pictures. I sent them photos and they refunded my purchase price and advised I could dispose of the shed. The matter was taken care of in 2 days. Sure I was dissappointed in the quality of the this particular shed, but nowadays customer service is even more dissappointing. This seller, however, rocked it!!

I ran out to put my Christmas decorations so this can in handy.

shed came in 2 large heavy boxes. When opened bag of tools and screws were pack too much and busted open. Screws were everywhere inside the box. Then went to put it up and instructions only show photos no words to help you figure out where something goes. Holes don't match up so it seems like nothing wants to fit together. Sheet metal panels were all bendable by hand. Either I'm very strong, which I am not or its just weak. Thats when I lost hope of it being sturdy. Got the frame and 3 side up before I gave up because I was getting know where, wasted 3 hours of my life. There are about 50 pieces that come with it. Would have preferred 4 sides and 2 roof pieces to be easier but no. Then when I tried to place a return order they provide you with a postage label but don't tell you you will not be able to return it to anyone UPS, FEDex, USPS without paying over $200. Won't fit in my car so needed the return to be picked up. On top off it all it really is a hazard as every side to the shed was sharp. Even wearing the gloves they give you I still managed to cut my arms and legs. This was a nightmare. Hours of nothingness wasted on trying to assemble and unable to return, so you better like it before you buy it. Also it has no floor and is not heavy at all so if your looking to buy a shed to keep things safely in so they are not stolen this is not it as I am a small female, 5ft 4 in and was be able to just lift the shed up to take what I want out making the lock and key a complete joke.

Overall, it's decent for the price. I had a damaged panel, which I found after it was 3/4 built.Can I get a single replacement panel? Probably not.Should I wait a week, or more, to get a new panel?Should I disassemble the whole thing and lug it back to a whole foods?Or, you guessed it, live with a big ding front and center....The unit isn't watertight. The roof panels have about 1/2 overlap with zero center support. You can see daylight through them.The sides have gaps along the top where the side panels stick out further than the header panels which looks bad..A driving rain will easily leak in. Not that I'm keeping anything important in there that needs to stay dry, but moisture in places it shouldn't be is going to cause trouble and shorten the life span. I used roof caulking to seal the length of the seam.Also, every panel is covered in protective plastic. Half of the assembly time is peeling plastic off.It also has a very low roof. I'd guess the entrance is at about the 5' mark. The "pop up" gives about 6" additional in the front half only. Also, some of the pre-drilled holes do not line up. I had to use sheet metal screws to secure the trim in places.The good news is it does look good and seems sturdy, although I still need to install the door.

Takes at least two people to assemble until it can stand on its own. Seems flimsy at first but comes together pretty sturdy. Sometimes it takes a bit of study to interpret the picture directions. It took about 3 and a half hours to put together.

This was so hard to put together! Holes were incorrectly placed. When it's put together it's great.
