I searched for a "fence hugger" shed and most of the ones I came across were too high for our HOA. This one fit the bill perfectly. I watched a few YT videos and read some posts on Reddit etc but there wasn't a lot of info out there. I had a good feeling about it so I made the purchase and I'm glad I did!
I took three days to put it together, without rushing. I could have done it faster but I didn't want to make any mistakes. Overall the shed is solid, much more so than I thought it would be. Is it a Tuff Shed? NO of course not. But it's not a piece of junk and I do believe this is going to last a long time, I live in northern Nevada so it's a high desert climate with hot summer days, big temperature swings and snow in the winter. Here are a few lessons learned that you may find of help:
1. Take your time! Don't rush. The instructions are good but not great. It's all pictures so be ready for that. The pictures are very accurate so look closely at the orientation and positioning of each piece. It's easy to install something upside down or backwards unless you are paying very close attention.
2. Get good quality gloves! There are some sharp edges so you want to protect your hands, but also you want gloves that are nimble enough too handle screws, washers etc. I found some at Home Depot and they worked out great.
3. Impact driver. No question. Using an ID made my life much much easier. You should be good at trigger control so screws aren't over-torqued. Just use common sense,
4. Having someone to help is good! My wife came out to help me in about 2-3 specific times in the process. There aren't any heavy pieces but some of the steps require two people (e.g. holding a panel on the outside while screwing in a part on the inside).
5. Do NOT attempt to build this on a windy day. You will be SO frustrated trying too position the panels etc.
6. The instructions say to make sure the diagonal dimensions are equal when you assemble the floor and then again when you assemble the roof. The problem is that the instructions don’t say what to do if they’re off or what the tolerance gap is. Mine were off, but not by much maybe 3/4 inch and never noticed any issues when I assembled the shed.
7. I built a simple foundation with 12x12 pavers in sand frames by pressure treated 2x4s. It couldn't have been easier and shed fit perfectly. I also bought OSB plywood and cut it to size to lay down on the floor supports. This isn't required but it's a really good idea IMHO. Having a smooth plywood floor allows me to slide stuff around etc without worrying about damage to the metal floor beams.
8. The instructions offer strategies to bolt down the shed in strong winds. We get very strong winds here in NV, but I didn't do anything beyond the standard construction. Three days after construction we had strong winds as a storm front moved in (35mph gusts) and the shed was perfectly fine.
ok that's it! If you are looking for a practical shed that has a unique footprint to fit in side yards etc, this is your choice!
Enjoy!
Overall, the shed seems decent. Instructions were pretty much clear, with only a few minor discrepancies. Only complaint would be that the vinyl walls were a bit thinner than I expected. We'll see how durable the shed is over time. It does fit very well in the location I had prepared for it.
For side of house storage it’s amazing.
Fifth star would be inclusion of a floor (you need to cut your own marine board or plywood, which is a bit of an extra chore).
New shed in a confined space.
Good shed. Company is legit and customer service is prompt.
