Good quality, but over-engineered, February 15, 2010

This review is from: DuraMax Model 00611 4x8 SideMate Vinyl Storage Shed (Lawn & Patio)

This shed is the only vinyl one that fits my space, however, it needs to be positioned to the right of my house. I assumed that a vinyl modular shed can be assembled with the roof sloping to the right side, and not as pictured.

oh boy - I was wrong. when the shed came, I found out that this is the most over-complicated product I've seen to date. there is absolutely no part symmetry, and each part has to be assembled EXACTLY as directed by the lengthy (30 pages) instruction manual. even parts that could have been symmetric, thus simplifying the installation process and manufacturing costs are not. why do they have to include different parts for front and back roof? they are identical parts with different hole patterns. if you drill one more hole, this part could be assembled both as back support or front, saving me identification of "RS2FC" from "RS2BC", same goes to "RS5C" and "RS6C", that has to be assembled together in a specific direction, or else, one of the roof pins...Read more

This review is from: DuraMax Model 00611 4x8 SideMate Vinyl Storage Shed (Lawn & Patio)

I purchased your sidemate shed with a foundation. I am very pleased I did. If I purchased any other shed I would need to build a base of 2x4s first and then a wood floor on top of the 2x4s. Even if I have a plastic floor the shed needs to be lifted off the ground. The foundation saved me time and money. The shed itself is perfect for me. I don't have much space and I needed a shed to store items but not look out of place. Your shed fits perfectly alongside my privacy fence and is strong as heck with all that steel framing you use. It is vinyl and so I never need to worry about maintenance and by placing the door on the side of the shed it gives me more storage than other sheds.I am very glad I bought this shed and told my sister about it. She intends to buy one as well.

Awful shed, April 24, 2010

This review is from: DuraMax Model 00611 4x8 SideMate Vinyl Storage Shed (Lawn & Patio)

This is a complex shed to build and as the other reviewer said poorly designed. Lots of the parts look similar, but have to little holes that made them different. I would stick with preformed join together sheds offered by Suncast or Rubbermaid.
