About this product
This metal shed stores bikes, garden tools and outdoor equipment securely in all weather. It's made from galvanised steel that resists rust and won't crack or split. The pent roof sits neatly against a wall or fence to save space. The steel construction requires no painting or ongoing maintenance.
The double sliding doors open wide to wheel bikes and equipment in and out easily. Ribbed metal panels provide ventilation to stop condensation building up inside. All parts are numbered and pre-drilled for easier assembly. Anchor fixings are included for secure installation. The fireproof and waterproof design protects your belongings year-round. Assembly takes two people and thick gloves are strongly recommended. You'll have long-lasting storage that keeps your garden tidy.

Customers Say
This shed offers great value and solid final build but assembly is fiddly with many small screws and poor instructions. Size is smaller than expected and some quality control issues noted.

Great shed, laborious construction but worth it
I bought this a month ago and am very pleased with the results. As other reviewers have commented, this is a VERY fiddly assembly; the screws are very small and there are hundreds of them! I ended up with rather scraped/shredded fingertips from trying to hold them in place. If I were to do it again, I would invest in some well fitting work gloves and a magnetic screwdriver bit. I completed the whole shed in about 7 hours on my own, although I did need help lifting the roof on as the structure is very flimsy until it is all screwed together. I found the instructions to be excellent and all panels were appropriately labelled. There are a large number of panels and screws to combine but the directions were clear and the steps well illustrated with diagrams. I also found it really helpful to watch one of the Yardmaster construction videos on YouTube beforehand. I was fortunate enough to to build this on a no-wind day as I reckon the panels would bend very easily, even in a light wind. However, as previously stated, once this is all secured together it is as solid as a rock so this is only an issue during the build. It is extremely light though so I really would recommend putting in the anchor bolts to secure it to the floor as I could see this being lifted out of the garden with a decent wind. All in all, I think this is amazing value for money and despite the construction being despairingly fiddly and incredibly tedious, I would definitely buy one again as it's such a good final product which is delivered in a very modestly sized box!

Avoid like the plague!
Honestly the single worst purchase i've ever made - none of the holes line up, fixings are entirely inadequate, build quality is overall just extremely poor (flimsy, leak prone, sharp etc.), complete with entirely inadequate instructions - don't waste your money, time or effort even contemplating

Decent bike shed for the price
Decently made and went together ok, but it took 2 people most of a day. Has withstood plenty of heavy rain and wind since erecting it. I use it to store bicycles, but I can only fit 2 of 3 in it - the larger mountain bike cannot fit in with the others due to the width of the handlebars. But a large size road bike and a kids mtb fit with plenty of room for storage of helmets etc. It is quite awkward to get them in and out of the doors though.

Garden shed
I bought this and a couple of the panels were slight dented but kept it anyway

The shed is beautiful
A bit disappointing when up it measures 7×3.3 . And there is no slides for the doors. Otherwise it has transformed my back yard.

Good design, good to erect.
I purchased this last month to replace the two old wooden sheds that had come to the end of useful life. I am banking on this to last at least twice as long. The instructions were quite simple and explained well the only criticism is that the small screws could have been a little bit larger as I do have large hands and found them a bit fiddly.

Green shed
Built this shed in a heatwave. Only problem we had were the small screws.

Good Value for Money but dodgy instructions.
The instructions are not great but they are just about adequate with a bit of intuition. It would have been better if the sequence of building agreed with the suggested YouTube video! Construction takes longer than suggested and you need to be prepared to remove screws when you discover that a part 303 will not fit until you do and don't panic the door spacers 607EA are no longer supplied. The shed itself is good quality and fit for purpose but it is smaller that the 8'x4' description implies (check the small print). This shed replaces one that whilst looking tired was still functional after 15 years use but unfortunately was damaged when it was moved to allow installation of a new fence. Overall good value for money

The shed
Bought and assembled took a while as the instructions are very difficult to follow made it easier as i had watched the online version. Took 2 of us about 5 hours to complete but once assembled its perfect for my use.

The small print
All sheds need to be placed and secured on a base; this can be concrete, patio slabs or wood. Putting your shed directly on the ground wouldn't be safe and would decrease the lifespan of your shed.
