Comments about Lifetime Lifetime 6405 8 x 10 ft Outdoor Storage Shed:
I am using the product to store my gang box, generator, extension cord, ladders and misc. parts as I am an electrician and need a place to put materials that I will need on job sites. The only real problem that we ran into was the seal for the skylight the paper did not want to come off of the material. We put the shed on a slab and had no problems with assembly. It took about five hours to assemble with three people working, two working and one reading the instructions. We went step by step and it worked out fine. I would rather have had the sky lights in the middle of the shed instead of the front but that is a small issue.

Comments about Lifetime Lifetime 6405 8 x 10 ft Outdoor Storage Shed:
We are very happy with the quality of the shed and how easy the assembly went. We had no trouble following the assembly instructions (new and improved), and all the parts bags were labeled correctly. It took three adults 4-1/2 hours to assemble on a wood frame base set on patio blocks. The base took about eight hours to build. We made every effort to make sure it was level, and it paid off in the end. All the panels and doors lined up perfectly with no gaps between wall panels or where the roof panels attach to the walls. The other brands we compared were flimsy and had gaps large enough to let in small birds. We've had rain a few times since building the shed and the inside has stayed dry each time. I would highly recommend this shed.

Very Happy with this shed, very nice and sturdy. Looks great after we finished....Mine was tan not white of which I am very glad of, white would have gotten dirty too easy.
Take your time, note: the bags are not labeled correctly so sort things out and go by picture.
Took two of us about 6 hours including base and that was with my neighbor doing most of the work, I was there to hold and hand pieces and parts. Goes together great, FOLLOW directions one page at a time.......Even shimming at the end, I was surprised when I shimed like they said and it worked even though I had it bolted down....

Comments about Lifetime Lifetime 6405 8 x 10 ft Outdoor Storage Shed:
Assembly was simple! About eight hours from opening the box to closing the doors. We had three people - two working and one reading the instructions. The key to this kit is to build a base that's perfectly flat and rigid. We built a platform of 2 x 6's on 12 inch centers with a half inch plywood top. This whole deck sat on concrete deck blocks that were on gravel. We poured concrete around the blocks prior to building the deck. The foundation and deck construction took about 16 hours. As usual, the prep work made the job so much easier. You'll need pry bars to aid in putting the walls into the base. Other than that - just follow the instructions.

I was able to set this up by myself! Took a little longer 'bout 6 hrs.
Don't pick a windy day to set up!
Might want to pre-tap the 10-24 window screw hole, acrylic looked as though it might crack.
Definitly use cardboard under your ladder to avoid caving the floor in. I am very pleased with this purchase overall.
