The directions were very good and everything fit perfectly! Three years later, it still looks as good as the day we built it and it holds up to Michigan winters well. Yesterday my plastic thumb latch on my door handle broke. I wish they would have had a better design than plastic, but I just called Lifetime Customer Service line and they are sending me a free replacement part. I don't anticipate many more problems because this shed is QUALITY construction. The 10-year warranty and cooperative Customer Service is surely a positve. As another review said, the shelving could have used better support bars and most of the "extras" are expensive and not worth the price. I suggest getting the basic shed and building your own shelving. 31 of 34 people found the following review helpful: By Baldone "Fred" (SLC, Utah) - See all my reviews This review is from: Lifetime 6405 8-by-10-Foot Outdoor Storage Shed with Window, Skylights, and Shelving (Lawn & Patio) I just put my shed together and wanted to point out a few things.The large back shelf and front corner shelves seem to be needed for structural support. The shelves stick out about about a foot in the back. There are two corner shelves in the front by the door. Additional shelves are expensive. Dimensions are based on the roof which over hangs slightly. The procedure of screwing into plastic seems very "Mickey Mouse". It was very easy to strip the plastic, I used a drill with a 25 step clutch, the clutch was set on 1. (Go slow) Expansions to make the shed larger are available and are expensive. Salesman told me it could hold 18 inches of snow, directions say 6 inches, and another reviewer complained about damage with 3-4 inches of snow. Instructions were good, and fairly easy to follow. The setup was time consuming but fairly easy. Looks good. The concrete base I placed it on was not 100% level (it is cracked)...Read more 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Lifetime 6405 8-by-10-Foot Outdoor Storage Shed with Window, Skylights, and Shelving (Lawn & Patio) I read the reviews on here first and decided to go with this model. It took a week to arrive at my house. Free delivery and they put the two heavy boxes in my backyard for me. I never could have gotten those boxes home, much alone moved them by myself. With the boxes in the yard, all that remained was unpacking and assmbly. My pad was already paved, so that lengthy step was not part of the process.
I would recommend, if you buy this, go to Lifetimes site, enter the shed model # and look over the PDF of the instructions. That helped me. I didn't think I was going to be able to get it all installed alone, but I did. It took 7 hours the first day and another hour and a half the second to get it weather tight. I haven't installed the shelves yet, so maybe an hour of that left. The roof was the hardest to put on alone, but it is all done from inside on a ladder, so its a matter of getting the plastic panels to line up to be screwed in. It went ok. The...Read more |
