Hello
I bought this elsewhere and have installed it on a stable platform on concrete blocks. It is large enough for lawnmower and quite a bit of storage. I felt the roof was fairly well constructed.. it does have a complete poly floor. The doors are somewhat flimsy and hard to close completely but I think they are as good as it comes with these outside little poly buildings.

I would recommend using a drill to do the screws, and a electric driver with a 3/8 socket to put the nuts on (careful not to over-tighten). You should also have one of those 90 degree angle Phillips screw driver to hold the head of the bolt, while you use the driver on the nut.
The directions glaze over a few important details, in particular, which holes to use when connecting the two ends of the trusses together. If you guess wrong, you will get the roof on, and then notice the final cap pieces don't meet flush, and you will have to tare it all down, rebuild the trusses, and install the roof again. With 2 men, it is bare-able to get all this together and deal...Read more
