Patiowell Outdoor Storage Shed, 8x6 FT, Brown

I was anxious to assemble but I do it all my myself in 13 hours. It’s just tedious and a lot of trial and error. Trust the instructions- you’re not missing a part, again, just trial and error. Once it was completed I was pumped- great quality. I only had to drill 1-2 extra holes due to them not lining up- again, trust the instructions and trial and error will prevail.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this shed was such a headache that I feel I should warn others. Instructions: The assembly manual was vague and poorly written. Steps were confusing, and diagrams didn’t match the actual parts. It took far longer than it should have just trying to figure out what went where. Quality of Materials: Several pieces arrived bent or damaged right out of the box. The metal felt flimsy compared to other outdoor storage products I’ve purchased. Hardware: The screws provided were not the correct size for many sections. I had to go out and purchase my own just to finish the job. Pre-Drilled Holes: Most of the holes didn’t align properly, making assembly extremely frustrating. We had to force things into place, which definitely compromised the overall sturdiness. After hours of struggling, the shed is standing, but I have little confidence in how well it will hold up over time. For the price, I expected much better quality and easier assembly. I would not recommend this product.

Unbeatable for the cost. Read the directions, lay out all the parts, and take your time - pretty sure it took 8 hours total to complete by myself. Do yourself a favor and use a magnetic tray for the screws. It did have dents from the factory - not from the delivery - so keep that in mind. If you're competent enough to use an electric drill, you can build this flawlessly. The complainers in the reviews probably didn't read the directions or are just too "simple" to use that drill. if you need to drill new holes - you did it wrong.

Assembly took just as long as expected if not quicker than what most reviews suggest. Took my husband and I about 4 hours total. We put ours up on pavers and plan on putting in a base later down the road, it was light enough that the two of us could move it fully assembled. Storage wise, it is the perfect amount to hold a couple of shelving units and all of your essential gardening equipment. For $250 this is a good quality and value purchase. We definitely wish the packaging it came in was a little better, a few pieces came pretty bent and there were a few dings. We also noticed it came with hardly any extra screws/washers so keep track of your supplies and try not to lose any or you may end up a couple short. The instructions were fine, but a couple of the photos and diagrams didn’t match the parts so we had to do some guess work. Overall the appearance is pretty clean and nice, it’s a sturdy little shed, and didn’t give us too much trouble setting up! Definitely would recommend assembling with a partner.

This product caused me much grief. The instructions were horrible- a potent mixture of minimal detail and a confusing process. Assembly is presented as simple and straightforward, but it's certainly not so. The metal often needs to be manipulated to align screw holes, each step may as well constitute twenty or more subdivisional steps, and rarely are extremely important details strongly emphasized to ensure accuracy. Errors are easy to commit if you don't pay more attention to things like orientation and positioning than what the manual makes clear. By the time I finished, the shed was beaten up with significant dents- some of which were unavoidable. For instance, I had to lean over the roof to attach a part. This was already very difficult despite my long reach, but it would be impossible without leaning over the roof's surface. The small amount of pressure I applied created a permanent dent; the metal is junk. I'm grateful that the shed is a decent construct following more twelve hours of work (with a partner to help); however, if I knew what I would go through to build it prior to buying, I wouldn't have purchased it. My main recommendation to the manufacturer is to produce a superior manual: better pictures, closer attention to detail, and tips/pointers that address common opportunities for mistakes in order to avert them. I purchased this shed to save money, but a more expensive shed of greater quality and perhaps a contracted worker to build it would be worthy of investment, especially if you're a novice like me.

For the money you pay it’s ok. Here is what I did. I built a platform above the ground with 2x6 lumber and standard deck boards. Ramp to the doors. Assembly of the building took me by myself 6 hours. More than half the pre drilled holes for metal panels didn’t line up. Some panels are bent or dented. The gables were damaged but I got them straightened back out. A whole side of roof panels are pre drilled an inch and a half away from where they are supposed to be to be so silicone is going to be needed to cover some holes Make sure you attach the bottom base to the platform on both sides. The panels are the thinnest sheet metal I have ever seen. Making me wonder about any kind of hail storms. The directions are ok. But to be honest the attached video of the building is very handy. Watch it a few times before opening the two boxes. Six hours.

It is just as it looks in the ad. Very good size, a bit problematic with assembly, and no floor. I should have ordered differently. It came on time in two long boxes which were very, very heavy. Customer may need help with assembly. All in all, we're very pleased.

This Shed seemed like a great deal at first, but oh boy... it took me 2 Full weeks (1-2 hours per day) to build it, it was probably the most miserable thing i have ever built. The material is flimsy and cheap, half of it dented and bent upon arrival, what wasnt bend got dented and bent because it was jammed inside of each other and has to be pried apart at the seams. It is so lightweight that we had some small gusts of wind and it almost blew away and caved in part of one of the walls so ive had to screw it into some planks on the ground which one board weighed more than the whole structure. The materials are as cheap and flimsy as could be and i think by far the worst part - THERE WASNT ENOUGH WASHER OR SCREWS i was missing something like screws and had to pick up something similiar BUT THE WASHERS i got a pouch of maybe 30 washer and by the 12th step i had ran out - the very next step required 24 in just that step! i think i was short almost 80 washer, along with missing 5 F1 screws and a variety of other screws and screw caps. NO TOOLS WHERE PROVIDED AT ALL they had nuts and bolts but no way to properly tighten them unless you had that EXACT ratchet (i did not because why would i?) There was no little screw driver or heck even a socket for some drill, its also required that you have a ladder because you need to get OVER the roof of the whole thing. Even with a ladder it was nearly impossible to reach the center of the roof for the rain guard on it - Half of the parts also had misaligned screw holes (i double checked to make sure everything was in the right spot and angled the right way!) The structure leaks in many places - maybe because of all the bent materials or maybe just random open areas? Either way i cant see this thing last a single winter before collapsing under its own garbage material and while i would like to complain about its size, it is the size advertised.... although kinda short, i have to duck to get in.
