Lifetime 6446 8-by-15-Foot Outdoor Storage Shed with Shutters, Windows, and Skylights Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Ok, so let me start out by saying that we searched all over the internet and local hardware stores (Lowes & Homedepot) and this was the best price on Amazon, due to the free shipping and no tax.
We ordered it and waited for delivery, which was a pretty reasonable time, since it is direct from the manufacturer. Took about 7 days to get here from the order date. When it arrived it was on a rollback truck and one guy unloaded it. It comes in 4 boxes (instructions are in box 1 of 4). The boxes took up about 1/4 of my one car garage. So make room somewhere.
1) Decide which type of sub-floor you are going to do: concrete, wood, gravel. We did wood (4 x 6 joists every 12 " ), on cinder blocks, with a plywood base. REALLY STRONG!!!
2) Lay out all the peices in all the boxes, organize them in to piles of like peices together. Then just follow the instruction book, it is VERY well explained. We varied a little (didn't assemble the roof frames till we actually needed them)but pretty much stuck to the plain. It is broken down into sections, so you can go little by little if needed. I loved how it told you all the parts, screws, and tools you would need to do the next section. Assembly took two people (my husband & I) about 3 hours. But we work really well together, so don't get upset if it takes you longer LOL :)
3) Two weeks after assembly and it is holding up very well. We have it all organized inside, using the shelves that come with it (plus a workbench my husband made)and wired (he's an electrician) with outlets and ceiling lights. We had a strong storm the other day, and not a drop got inside.
Well, that's about all I can say, except it really is the BEST SHED I EVER OWNED !!!!
