Suncast Storage Building, 7 1/2-ft x 5-ft

 (56 customer reviews)

If you are in the market for a vinyl or resin type storage building, this is certainly one worth looking at. There are not a lot of reviews posted on this shed at the present, so take your time and do your homework before choosing any of them. I would advise a visit to your local Lowes or Home Depot to look at vinyl buildings first handed. Regarding building the shed, I built my Suncast 10' x 12' on a 3/4" exterior grade, treated plywood platform and 2" x 6" lumber as opposed to a concrete slab. I used "Dek Blocks" to support the platform, which really made the job easy to level and very strong. I used 27 blocks in total or 3 Dek-Blocks per 10' joist. Making sure the platform is square and dead level is key to building this shed. If you do a good job on the base, the assembly of the shed is really quite simple and even rewarding when completed. Most of the shed snaps together which I found unusual. That concerned me with regards to durability but I have certainly overcome that comfort...Read more

This May 2009 review is for the Suncast Model A01B37C03 10' x 12 1/2' Storage Building -- purchased from Amazon. Also see the pictures that I have uploaded.

The most important thing for prospective purchasers to note is that Suncast has substantially improved this shed since it was first released in 2007. While the original shed had only three ridge beams to support the roof, the new Model A01B37C03 sheds now include 5 beams, PLUS an additional header support tube for the rear header. Suncast claims that the roof can now support 15 pounds per square foot, i.e. pretty heavy snowfall. This improvement is significant, and makes a product that was already very good exceptional.

It took only 11 days from the time I ordered from Amazon until the product was delivered to me in the Washington DC metropolitan area. The product is drop-shipped from Suncast in Illinois via freight shipper - in my case CEVA - who called me the morning the shed arrived in their Baltimore...Read more

If you don't want to read my complaint in full please understand who you will be dealing with before you buy a Suncast product. Their products have no warranty. If something fails because the part was defective they won't replace it. Remember -- THERE IS NO WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT STAND BY THIER PRODUCT. I purchased a Suncast 10' x 12.5' shed (model A01B37C03)six months ago. Myself and a friend built a very sturdy floor (2" x 6" joists covered with 3/4" plywood)at some considerable expense. The assembly instructions were straight forward and we completed the shed in one day. The roof of the shed is supported by 3 metal ridge beams (I understand they are using 5 beams on the latest model). The beams sit in "pockets" in the header panels. The pockets are vinyl as is the rest of the material. I was initially impressed with the materials but now for the rest of the story. I opened the shed door this week to find water on the floor. Further examination found that one of the...Read more
