Patiowell 5x3 FT Outdoor Storage Shed, Tool Shed with Sloping Roof and Lockable Door, Metal Shed for Backyard Garden Patio Lawn, Brown

This is a great value for a small shed. It arrived before the anticipated arrival date, and was packaged well. There was a small ding in the box which resulted in a dent on 4 of the corner pieces. Honestly, it’s so minor wasn’t too worried about it. It is NOT the highest quality and the metal material is thin and pretty flimsy. That said, this is a budget shed and still a great value. It assembled easily and there are some videos on you tube although the instructions were well written with very good illustrations. I do have an issue with door closing very tight and I had to flip the latching hasp upside down to accept the bolt (required drilling a small pilot hole for the screw). It was estimated that two people can assemble in 5 hours; I did it myself in less time, in the dark, with a flashlight (would not have been possible in the wind). I’m planning to make some modifications to create an exhaust port, add electrical outlets and use it as a place to keep my generator out of the rain and snow on some rural property. I would definitely buy this again as a smaller budget shed but might not give it a prominent spot if I had a meticulous backyard.

Finally got around to assembling this shed. It was very easy to follow the instructions. Having a power screwdriver or powered drill help a lot in the assembly process. It only took me a little over an hour to get it assembled by myself. Very happy woth the quality and size of this shed. Its perfect for my tools and camping gear.

My main complaints would be that the instructions are wrong and the time-consuming removal of the plastic covering that they used to protect the sheets of metal. The 3 top L-shaped support bars that screw to the tops of the walls need to be facing inward, but both their drawings and the YouTube video they link to have them backwards, which ends up causing lots of confusion and frustration. I do wish that the metal piece that goes across the top of the front and the slanted side pieces were a bit thicker. When you screw the roof into the front piece, it feels too thin and flimsy - like you're going to strip the hole out if you're not very careful. In fact, when I was trying to hand-tighten the plastic screw covers on the front roof screws, a few of them were coming unscrewed and I had to hold the cover in place and re-tighten them. I did contact customer support and they did respond in a reasonable time (overnight) and helped me figure out about the L-shaped pieces being backwards. Time will tell how well it holds up under the weather. It does seem to have a design flaw IMHO with the strip that goes across the back of the roof. When water runs down the roof, some will be trapped there and possibly rust it out... Also, keep in mind that the shed is only about 78 lbs, so unless it's somehow secured to a base, one or two guys could potentially just lift it up and access whatever is being stored in it. All-in-all, it's a decent shed - especially for such a low price.

"To start with, the very small fasteners are VERY combursome to work with, with my beat-up, old caperpenters' fingers and hands, I spent half the time it took in just fighting with them; I cannot say I'm bristling with confidence in their capacity to hold the whole unit together in the winds we get here. The steel itself is thinner that most expect, while it looks like standard steel roofing/siding - it's significantly thinner - the specs are clear on this, but w/out a frame of reference, most aren't going to connect the 2 point. The instructions are pretty good, mostly pictorial, but there are a few things hat could be clearer - which way the base corners and siding seams/joints overlap - and why it's important to include; if one doesn't lap the wall corners according to the site's position relative to winter storms, and even dust, then it very easily could blow in through under/overlapping sections. Including how to make sure the base is square should also be in the instructions, it isn't something most/many folks are going to automatically pick up on; even with the base's corners properly screwed together it can, likely will be, out of square by 1/4" or a bit more - and if it isn't square - the pre-cut/drilled holes and sections won't align right. The siding overlaps are pretty poor as to fitting tightly, caulking will be a minimum, fastening them down with self-tapping screws as well, is what it'll take here - and it wouldn't have mattered the direction of the overlap, it is just as loose either way. Lastly, a number of the pre-drilled holes are misaligned, and some of the ones in the siding were split/blow-outs, making for potential weak points. especially ones in the corners. The base needs for holes to screw it down properly, just the corners - per manufacture - will not likely be enough, I know for certain these mountain winds are well beyond what just corner screws could hold. I'm also going to add a pair of ratchet straps to the entire construction, I built a proper floor box for it with enough meat to hold some eye-bolts as anchor points, the winds are only going to get stronger as the climate collapse worsens and this is already sketchy - I can see the whole unit being ripped off of the base frame and scattered as mega-shrapnel. It's one me to make sure that can't happen." Quote from the man I had to hire to put this shed together. It's almost disposable! I don't expect it to last more than a year at best!

Flimsy and poor instructions. WAY smaller than I expected. They must have measured from the bottom outside plate to bottom outside plate. Even that measurement was 3 inches short then you lose another 3 inches or so because the walls sit inside that track. We set it on a concrete slab and built a frame inside to mount it to to keep it from collapsing in the wind. Also lining it wood to keep something from falling over and punching a hole through the thin metal. There are holes in the side that don't line up so we weren't able to put screws in. I realized it was cheap when I bought it but dang...not this bad. If we get 6 months out of it I will be surprised. For the amount of time and frustration putting it together I would not recommend. It looks good from the distance, just don't look too close.
