Wow – this one is a lesson in carefully reading the reviews. Amazon has it rated at 3.5 stars overall, but there’s lots of negative reviews with good reason. This is a flimsy contraption that I doubt will last a year. My biggest complaint is the misleading photo. The sides and doors of the unit are cast tan plastic (very thin grade), but the entire back is a piece of thin corrugated black plastic, like poster board used in temporary signs. With such flimsy materials, working the doors means shoving them back into place due to the torque in the material.

Having moved to a new place without a garage, I ordered this from Amazon for the garbage cans and bought a Rubbermaid brand storage unit at my local Lowe’s for rakes and shovels. Having assembled both at the same time, there is no comparison. This unit is made less well in every respect.

Assembly was straightforward and didn’t present any unusual problems. Other than that this product is a poster child for why you shouldn’t buy online – it seems to have simply been made to look good enough to take a picture to display on a website. I very much doubt it will stand up to any amount of real world use.

This is by far the worst product I have purchased on Amazon. It is so flimsy. If you read this review and still buy this thing then you are on your own, and good luck. I put it together only to find that it doesn’t close properly all the way, then I find that the hinges are super flimsy, I called the company’s 800 number and had a very good experience with a rep who sent me the parts based on our conversation and me sending her pictures of what the problem was. But that was still not enough. Luckily, I contacted Amazon and they sent me an entirely new unit. From the two units, I built one very flimsy shed that I know I will be replacing soon as it will break, all you need to do is touch it in a few spots with a little force and this thing will go. It looks good as long as you use it very gingerly or not at all.
1- the plastic is very thin.
2- the plastic areas where you screw in the screws for the hinge in the side wall is super thin and break off easily.
3- the hinges are very poorly constructed as you can see from the pictures. They are also poorly designed, it is almost impossible to use any kind of screw gun to screw all 4 screws completely.
I am upset because I wasted two days putting it together, Frankensteining it, and packaging up the other unit to send back to Amazon. This shed will do for now and I cannot waste any more time looking for a new, but this thing is bad.

Overall, this shed is exactly what you expect from a resin, assemble-yourself shed. It took me about 35 mins to assemble by myself. With another person it may go a little faster.

I purchased this to modify to hold my portable generator which I leave connected to my house all the time. My Generac 8000W generator is kind of bulky, but it fits perfectly inside this shed with plenty of room to spare. The shed back was a little warped making it difficult to get it into the proper location so the screws will hold it in place, but after some manhandling I was able to get it to fit properly. I made a 3×5 platform out of concrete paver stones for a more solid base and then anchored it down with a couple masonry screws. If you are buying this to use for an outside trash bin holder, it has a neat little feature inside; there are a couple of roof mounted hooks that allow you to connect a chain or rope to the lid of your trash cans which will automatically open your can lids when you lift the shed lid. You’ll be pleased with your purchase.

This originally came out great, it all fit together. It was easy to assemble and looks sturdy enough. However, once it got over 90 degrees here in Texas it started warping. The tip began to bow upwards at the edges. I tried multiple ways to get it back into shape, but was never successful. After an entire summer it’s warped so that now it doesn’t close and is not watertight anymore, I’ve had to throw it out.

We got the 42 CF model. It is sized to hold two large garbage cans. We use it at our camper to hold all the extra lawn and grilling items. Sometimes we toss the trash bags in there to keep critters out of them until we can get it to the dumpster.

We like the top lid as it is convenient when we don’t need to open the double doors.

The assembly was medium and the instructions could have been better. When it came to the back the panels don’t all go the same way (all face up, all face down) and we couldn’t figure that out at first. One goes face up and one face down. That added some time to our assembly trying to figure that out.

It is pretty compact and looks nice. We will update as we use it this summer to see if it holds up.

We ordered a second one for home for our trash cans.

Watch the price. We bought one for $142 then when we wanted a 2nd they were $230. We watched daily and one came up for $170 so we bought it. If you are patient and can watch daily you may see some at a lower price.

If you read all these reviews you would think this shed is made of paper and has no parts or missing parts. Let me give you an honest review of this product. Perhaps I was very fortunate but the way the product was packaged I would be surprised if folks had cracks or breaks or missing parts. All parts are packaged together in heavy plastic bag and then wrapped with heavy tape. The shed itself is protected inside and well secured. I will say the 40 square feet of storage is a bit misleading as once built I measured a little over 38 square feet inside. That is still larger than it’s comparable competitor Suncast that is about 36 square feet. It took me 40 minutes and two beers to put it together. All in all I must say this is a nice shed that is easy to put together and holds up well. I am very pleased with this product. Oh, by the way they give you about ten more screws than you need just to be safe.
