Comments about Lifetime Lifetime 8 x 10 Outdoor Storage Shed:
I installed this 8x10 shed over a year ago in a remote area of New Mexico so I had it delivered to my home in the SF bay area and repacked it into my SUV - no problem. Since it was built, it has experienced blazing heat, freezing cold, winds over 70-mph, and monsoon rains - no problems. I cannot imagine a better shed for the any price. The roof is truly a work of art the way it fits together so well - no leaks ever. If you are careful to follow the instructions you'll have no problem. I built it in one day by myself, but do spend extra time on the foundation and anchoring points - level and solid is what will payoff. I see it only four times a year but I know it will always be there.

Comments about Lifetime Lifetime 8 x 10 Outdoor Storage Shed:
I love the outside look of the building, its really classy. The shed comes in different sizes for your amount of space. It takes work to build it, but it is sturdy and durable. My husband and I use it for all our outside equipment and tools. This shed has alot of storage room and my husband can stand up in it. The accessories are great for extra added space for storage.

Comments about Lifetime Lifetime 8 x 10 Outdoor Storage Shed:
My roommate and I built this over three evenings. I would suggest doing it all in one day as the walls are not very stable without the roof and some moderate wind overnight unsnapped several of the wall panels. I think the assembly went pretty smoothly. The roof was the hardest part but mostly because the instructions aren't detailed enough. Once we figured out the first roof panel, it went pretty quickly though. I am pretty happy with the product and the assembly wasn't really too much harder than I expected. Not easy, but then again, if it takes 5 minutes to assemble, then it would take 5 minutes for it to fall apart in a strong wind.
Be sure to read ahead in the instructions and try to understand what the goal is of what your doing. You can't follow the instructions line by line as there just isn't enough detail. I had to reread sections over and over to understand them. Also, keep track of every little screw. There are ZERO extra screws and parts.
Also, they mean it when they suggest 3 people. I built mine with 2 people but a 3rd would have been very helpful for holding parts, getting the next piece ready and running after papers/instructions when the wind blows them away. :)
I'm using my shed as my only outdoor storage. It holds all my lawn and garden tools and my push mower. There is lots of room and will probably store my motorcycle in there as well.

Comments about Lifetime Lifetime 8 x 10 Outdoor Storage Shed:
I bought this product to serve as a garage for my mid-sized motorcycle. I was tired of paying $125 per month to keep my bike at a commercial storage facility, some distance from my home. This building works perfectly for this purpose. I put it up without any help, on a very windy day. Everything I needed was included in the package. The instructions were generally good, but I had some difficulty in determining how the first roof panel should be installed. Once I figured it out, everything quickly fell into place. I was happy that they included plenty of extra nuts and screws. Most parts were clearly labeled and small parts came in well marked bags. I couldn't be more pleased with this item.
