Just be careful not to scratch or dent the material when assembling
It should take you between 8:00 and 10 hours to assemble if you have somebody to help you makes it perfect when we moving the film make sure you get heated up a little bit sun and then peel it off it should come off all at one time just roll the material back up to the to the area grab it with your hands and pull it down and roll it up and pull it down and roll it and pull it down

If taller than 5’ 6” don’t buy. Star rating should be a negative rating.
Don’t read description, pay attention to diagrams. Description read as follows:MeasurementsChamber Depth 162.7 InchesDoor Width 112.7 InchesDoor Height 81.1 InchesFeatures & SpecsWater Resistance Level WaterproofActual measurement for door height is 66 inches (67 if door stops not measured). Width is 47 inches.Not waterproof as I can see water marks on floor after a rain.Key will turn in lock but door doesn’t lock. (Even before door wouldn’t close).After riding my lawnmower over bottom rail second time it bent rail (see 1st photo) and now doors won’t close. Latch at top of left door will hold but bottom one won’t catch. See second photo. This is gap when latch at top is activated and right door is closed,. By undoing latch and closing doors together they will block out the elements but door not really secure.Assembly took about 18 hours.Oh, and did I mention the shed is not quite 10x14.

I’m not sure if I’d recommend this.. here’s why:
Keep in mind, I’m writing this as an occasional helper/spectator/screw holder in putting this together. If you’re someone who cusses, this shed will have you spittin’ ’em out - if you don’t cuss, you’re probably gunna have to bite your tongue a few times during this process. Overall, it took my husband (again, with my occasional help) about 10.5/11 hours to put this thing together. *side note* do NOT put it together on a windy day *sigh* EEEEVERYTHING is wrapped in a thin plastic so you have to peel that off but be VERY careful in stacking/moving the pieces because they scratch VERY easily - quite a few pieces came scratched right out of the box (included a picture; just one of a few). Next, a few of the pieces, including the bottom frame, were bent so my husband had a heck of a time trying to make sure the sides weren’t bowing inwards. *Most* of the holes aligned for us but there were a few where you have to sort of push the panels together in order to get the screws in. We opted to just put the shed on pallets so you can see in a picture where he attached it to the pallets (he’s also got heavy duty bolts but hasn’t attached those yet). For the roof, there may be an easier way to do it but my husband assembled it on the ground and then he, myself and our 16 y/o son lifted it and shimmied it onto the frame. Idk how anyone could build it the way it says because ANY weight you put on it will bend the very flimsy panels. For the 10x14, the three of us managed but at least FOUR people to lift it would be best so it doesn’t bend in the process. The BIGGEST headache, for him, was the directions. I’m a pretty smart gal, a visual learner at that - and even *I* couldn’t make sense of some of the things in that book. Really takes a bit of common sense to just look at the pieces and mainly figure it out for yourself. Now, you’ll see in the pictures that there is a HUGE gap between the doors. I don’t know what that’s about and I tried to see if anyone else had that issue but that’s a problem and we’re going to have to come up with a solution to close that so rain and stuff doesn’t get in and ruin what I’m storing in there. The inside of one door has spring lock things (pictured) so, that’s good. Would I recommend this? Eh. Yes and no. It’s fairly decent for the price, and it *does* look nice (love the deep charcoal and white).. once I add flower boxes to those pallets, it’s reeeally going to look better but man.. it is a PROCESS and this size shed, I don’t know how one person could do it alone. I hate that it’s so easy to scratch up and that so many pieces came with scratches and some dented - BUT, it does beat having to pay much much more for a resin one or thousands more for a wood one from a big box store. Ultimately, as the saying goes, “you get what you pay for” - as long as you’re handy, it’s easy to make figureoutable modifications. It’s plenty big enough for what we need it for so.. I mean, yeah.. go ahead and get it - set aside a whole day for it and just make sure neighbors with sensitive ears aren’t too close by during the building process!

Over all a decent shed
I'm happy with this shed and how it turned out. I built it by my self and didn't have any what did I get myself into moments. All the holes lined up for the screws and bolts. It took me about 2 and a half hours and all the walls were up with no cussing and again just myself. For the total time of build I would say two days and that is taking my time and not rushing it. Now some things I did to make it go a little easier. I prebuilt the roof beams and top bars for the walls and had them setting ready to be used. My Dewalt drill I set the clutch to 3 and use a magnetized bit. Use an ice pick to hold one side of the roof beam in place while you put a bold and nut on the other side then just finish bolting it together. Now a couple of things that I thought that they fell short on is the roof build. As the roof panels come to the peak there is a gap which they have a top peak plate that goes over to keep the rain out. Here in Florida we get sidewise rain not just straight down so I used a metal water proof tape along with a roofing caulk. I caulked all the roof panel seems as I installed them. Also they gave me just enough bolts/nuts no extras and the screws I had about 20 left over so maybe they could give a few extra. Over all for a metal shed it feels solid and for the price I'm happy.

A few things to know before you start:
- Platform is a must. Do not build this directly on the ground. It's too flimsy for that. I constructed a base out of 4x4s, 2x4s, and plywood, and I highly recommend doing the same.- It ships in two heavy boxes, over 130 lbs. each. You'll need at least one other person to help move them.- Work in the early morning if possible. By mid-day, the metal gets so hot it’s almost impossible to handle. I could only work from around 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.- Tools: Ditch the included wrench—it's useless. You’ll need a solid screw gun, a good pair of pliers (especially for straightening bent edges), and other basic tools.- The instructions are terrible. Tiny print, unclear images, and poor part identification. Patience required.- Inventory issues: I was shorted at least 30 screws and nuts. Had to run to Lowe’s to finish the job. They’re odd sizes too, so bring one with you to match it.I managed to build most of it myself, but honestly — having help would make a world of differenceOn the pro side I'm sure it'll do the job, and it has a good price even if I had to run to Lowes. Good luck.

Easy assembly, very good quality
Instructions are really good. Easy to assemble (we placed it on cement pad). Holes were easy to align. The size is 10x14 excellent for machinery. Very good quality. Looks good . Highly recommend.
