Patiowell 10' x 10' Metal Storage Shed for Outdoor, Steel Yard Shed with Design of Lockable Doors, Utility and Tool Storage for Garden, Backyard, Patio, Outside use, Grey

I was looking for something to replace an old wooden platform that covered my crawlspace access point and this shed was perfect! I was able to assemble 95% of this by myself, but it would go faster with 2 people. Despite a few flaws from shipping, it looks very sleek!PROS: Very sturdy once assembled! Not too heavy to where it’s difficult to move from one location to another. Very spacious for a small shed. The instructions were just diagrams, but fairly easy to follow.CONS: The holes did not line up on the base, so you will need to drill holes in order to anchor it to concrete or a wooden platform. Step 21 shows that you are to use F1 screws to attach the handle. This is incorrect and you will need to use the F2 bolts/nuts. Prepare to spend a lot of time removing the shrink wrap and expect to still find scratches and dents from being in transit.

It’s a nice shed and fairly easy to assemble just a lot of screws… I got the base but I should of just made my own would of been better. The base was flimsy and if I could redo I would of just laid concrete and drilled it in with hurricane anchors but it’s big spacious doors open wide can fit everything through the door so far. Package was heavy and 4 parts so if you don’t get a package wait a couple days to see if the other part comes in. Seller was quick to respond and offered solutions if I didn’t get the 1/4 of my package.

Assembly isn't great. Instructions suck. Some pieces don't line up. But if you can figure out how to get it together it's great

Even through the years when I’ve purchased a product that was dissatisfactory, I’ve never taken the time to ever write a negative review. For this product however, I’ve been so frustrated with it that I am actually going out of my time to write one. First of all, every. single. piece of this shed, which is probably around 30 panels, is wrapped in the cheapest quality plastic that must be peeled off. It’s the equivalent of trying to peel wet tissue paper off of something. It took literal hours to peel every panel as the plastic is so thin and cheap that it rips off every inch or so. Second, every piece of the shed including the panels, frame pieces, and supports are razor sharp at every edge. Even while trying to delicately handle them, I have multiple cuts on my hands, arms and even on my legs where they have grazed while I was manipulating them. Expect lots of cuts and bleeding while assembling this shed. Keep a first aid kit nearby. Thirdly, the quality of the panels of this shed are so incredibly cheap and thin that they dent and bend at the slightest pressure. I could literally make origami with these aluminum panels. I am one to be very meticulous when assembling things and even then, there are dents and unsightly bends everywhere. Lastly, the way the individual parts were packed was so poor that even before having to work with such embarrassingly cheap panels, they were mangled and scratched everywhere. Maybe if the protective plastic wasn’t so paper thin it would actually do a decent job at protecting them from each other. Trying to return it proved to be an even more irritating endeavor as they come in four separate boxes. I’m taking a loss with this shed and I hope that no one else has to deal with this absolute piece of garbage that wins the award for being the worst product ever designed. Again, I’ve never been so frustrated with any product I’ve ever purchased before but this one is the champion of being the single worst product ever created in human history. And that includes putting asbestos in ceilings and filling blimps with hydrogen gas. Don’t buy this. Get something better.

First off...I knocked off one star because the packaging wasn't terrible but it also left me with several pieces with some visible dents.The second star was knocked off because of various items...overall build quality, visible gaps between some parts (minor but noticeable), and a little frustration. As I graded this project, I tried to keep in mind that this was a project that cost me under $1,000 for a complete 10x10 shed including shipping and additional materials to build the platform. Similar sheds were anywhere from $1000 - $3000+ for the shed alone.So to answer the question of is this the best bang for the buck? Absolutely.This shed was shipped in 4 boxes via FedEx. All boxes were a manageable size if you're relatively strong or had a helper. I think the largest box was just under 75 lbs.During unpacking, it was easy to check that you received all the parts (each box contained a packing sheet for verification). I laid all the parts out in the yard for quick and easy identification. There's only a few different types of screws to worry about and don't worry, there are extra screws and washers so don't panic when you lose a few (despite the gold screws and white washers seeming easy to spot in green grass, they are like freaking Houdini and disappear out of nowhere).Before you begin assembly, I can't stress this enough. Make sure you are building it on a PERFECTLY level and square platform or other form of foundation. When we built it, everything went together smoothly, the holes mostly lined up aside from where we may have bent something or had something a hair crooked, and the doors opened and closed with no binding. We realized it was crooked after building it and using a come-along, we straightened it up which knocked it ever-so-slightly out of level, which as I learned was just enough to make the doors bind (so I will be releveling my platform soon).During assembly, much of it can be done by one person but there are a couple spots that are absolutely crucial to use a helper with:1.) When installing the sheet metal corners, they will fold right over if you don't have someone hanging onto them. Don't even attempt that step alone, trust me.2.) You will want assistance with the upper rail installation as well just to help ensure they are all squared up during installation.3.) I installed the gable ends alone so it can be done carefully with one person but if you aren't extremely careful, they will fold right over on you. You need to carefully set them into place and make sure you get probably 4 screws in spread out far enough before you let them go. If you do one screw and then let go to reposition or grab another screw, your piece is going to fall off and fold over. Best method is to have a helper assist so you aren't trying to carry everything and do it all at once. They're super light and it'll take 5 minutes with a helper.Assembling the center beam is a pain in the butt. Follow the directions carefully and where it says to leave the screws loose, leave them very loose, because you will be needing to slide part of the metal in-between it. On that note, when you get to the step of installing the center beam, if you didn't choose to wear the gloves during assembly, wear the gloves for that step. I ended up supergluing my finger when the piece of metal snapped into place and my finger was still in there. Don't be like me.When I did the roofing panels, this was where I ran into issues with the holes lining up. Keep your screws loose until you have EVERY hole lined up and then try to verify your sheets are perfectly straight otherwise they will get worse the further down the row you go.Follow the directions carefully so you can reach the center screws for the ridge cap. I installed the panels from the inside standing on a short ladder until I could no longer fit and then finished attaching them from the outside. The ridge cap will need to be bent pretty far to access the screws for the remaining panels once you reach that point. Just try to be a careful as you can.The rest of the installation (door assembly and installation) went pretty easy. I didn't install the plastic covers that went over the exposed screws from the roof panels. They're not exactly in an area anyone should ever be sticking their hands but if you think people will be reaching up there, install them. Those screws are sharp. 😂Verify your doors close okay and adjust your latch if needed.Other tips...1.) I used an impact driver (and pliers when applicable) to install all screws but when using the F1 screws, but don't torque them down. They strip super easy. Snug them. If using plastic washers, make sure they're just tight enough to give the washer a little squish so they're doing their job (sealing from rain). On that note, when it calls for washers, use them or your shed will leak. I have not had any rain yet to verify it's leak free even with the washers.2.) The sheet metal parts are shrinkwrapped with plastic, I assume to prevent scratches. Good luck removing it. I removed it from the pieces where it was noticeable and left it alone if it wasn't too noticeable. You will spend at least a day just unwrapping parts if you try to unwrap it all. It does not come off easy at all.3.) I'm not sure what idiot came up with the 2-3 hour assembly time, but I can tell you I am generally a jack of all trades and this was nothing at all out of the ordinary for me or my assistant (who assisted for approximately 4-6 hours). Not counting the shed platform assembly. I had around 12 hours in it, split up over 3-4 days.4.) I would tape or add padding to the roof beams on the underside. They are sharp where spliced together and if you're any taller than about 5'8", you could slice your head on them if you step under that part.5.) DON'T lean anything against the walls inside or out. While installing a ground anchor kit, my buddy leaned against the wall lightly with his hand and immediately put a dent in one of the ridges. We popped it right back out, but as easy as it dented, you don't want to lean on it at all.6.) Almost forgot this one but it may be one of the most important tips... Patiowell has both a YouTube assembly video and then a playlist that actually focuses on step-by-step assembly. These videos were a tremendous help as the instructions sometimes lacked the detail needed to align the parts properly or which side to overlap, etc.In conclusion...Pros: Inexpensive, looks pretty good, assembly was fairly straightforward. No special skills or tools needed. Basically tape measure, level, Phillips screwdriver (or impact driver), pliers, and maybe a hammer to gently assist a few parts into place if you couldn't force them into place by hand.Cons:Sheet metal is a bit thin and flimsy, some visible gaps between areas you wouldn't expect to see through, plastic protector nearly impossible to remove, some exposed sharp edges on the finished product, took much longer to assemble than advertised, packaging caused product to incur minor damages, door latch hardware is a little on the cheap side.Hope this helps you make a decision. Overall, I would still recommend this to others looking for a decent shed on a tight budget.Update:I was cautious when installing the screws on the roof to make sure all screws had a plastic washer and were appropriately torqued to prevent leaks from loose or overtightened washers. I still ended up with a few leaks. I am going to have to find a way to sell them up before my floor rots out. Otherwise, the shed is still solid.

Needed space for all my yard equipment. Use retreated wood for the floor. Used screen tape to cover vents to keep bugs out. Spray foam to fill any gaps along seams and used silicone when setting on foundation. We used extra screws to mount to floor walls. Very stable.
