A few points: (1) Great looking product! (2) Tremendous value for the price - we paid $1599 CDN at Costco Canada. (3) Didn't even mind the approx $600 cost of building the foundation (of course pricing depends upon your local lumber prices). (4) The install video (here) was super helpful. (5) A DIY NIGHTMARE - I'm about a 7/10 on the handiness scale and this was brutal. We were going to buy the companion piece but now we won't. (6) I used bad language by the end.

Video helped a lot. This was my second one in the last 3 years. Highly recommend over Duramax and metal sheds. Only two suggestions: 1. When installing roof pannels have somone push from the outside edge 45 degrees upwards before screwing in so top ridge pieces fit more tightly 2. Use an electric screw driver and do not overtighten the large screws that hold the plastic panels together 3. Install a cheap solar light (where solar is seperate from the light) for the interior. It is fairly dark even in broad daylight. 4. Use a metal/concrete drill bit (9/16) to pre-drill the "self-tapping" screws for the metal snow support brackets near the end of the build 5. Helps being handy and can be done with 2 people in 6-8 hours.

I just ordered my shed yesterday. This video will come in handy for sure. Thanks

I just finished assembling this shed.. My son and friend and I started at 10, done by 4 complete. Well instructed, good to excellent fit on All pieces. Lots of interior light! Great Shed

Hey guys, when you put the steel frame on the walls (step 9) don't try to slide the roof on it. You can screw it up in the frame and then put the frame on the walls, then screw the corners in the window and lateral wall. I promise guys this will save you so much time and frustration. Lol

Excellent Video. Not the exact Shed I purchased, but close enough that this video helped a LOT.

Your video was really helpful. Thank you . I successfully installed my storage shed today, though it took more time for me than the time you took. I really appreciate your efforts in making this video which came handy . Otherwise, i would not have been able to installed my shed just witht he help of the manual

Finished Building this shed this past weekend. Things to note: Give yourself a full weekend or two days. End to end it took us 9 hours or so. You will need Beer and lots of it lol.. You need two people for sure if not three. One on reserve for the end, and with strong shoulders. I’ve got weak shoulders lol You’ll need music to drown out the noise or to just dance your worries away. On a more serious note: DEFINITELY USE THE VIDEO AND THE INSTRUCTIONS. MAKES A 100% DIFFERENCE WHEN TRYING TO DECIPHER CERTAIN INSTRUCTIONS. Build the sections in the beginning as they say in the video and then start to assemble. The tape they use is plenty for all the windows, so you’ll have left over. I’m thinking it’s for the skylights in case they leak. Be gentle when screwing those in, they are brittle. You’ll have TONS of left over screws which had me double/triple checking and I got a bit paranoid that I’d missed something. You will need all the tools they recommend and then some. I used a regular drill mostly, but you will need an impact drill for the end when you’re doing the self-drilling screws. You will need a short bit extender and a long one. Otherwise, it’s pretty straightforward. Good Luck 😆🤣

I just did it by my self in day and so ! All goes well with instructions fallowing. Thanks

A tip for anyone installing this shed: It may be better to screw in the 4 skylight pieces by hand since the plastic pegs can very easily become destroyed when using an impact. Best to use a very low torque tool or just use a screw driver. For a better seal, apply cauking around the skylight lip.

after watching this video, make sure you scan the url codes in the assembly booklet. Added video instruction are Very Helpful. did mine today. took 7 hours 50 minutes. no help until i got to the roof. turned out Great though.

Great Video! Dont let all the complainers and negative Nancys on here steer anyone away on putting this up together, After putting out all the parts and setting up a table and my tools, I put this up by myself in 3 hours taking my sweet time. I encountered the issue with the corner folding panels as well but you just have to get some sense be creative, I placed a piece of block underneath the flooring part where the panel pops and snaps into and pulled down with my body weight and popped right in. Everything else was a piece of cake.

This video helped me in assembling my shed. Without it, this job would have been very challenging.

Bought this great product . Thanks for the video 💪.

Just had mine delivered today! Perfect timing, such a great video. Thank you so much for making this :)

I certainly wish I'd found this before assembling although folling directions were too bad until installing the front gable support from door hinge to door hinge which wasn't in the directions and upon looking it up on KZfaq I found it and want to thank you for this information.

Wish the manual explained it as easy as a video. Great video.

they make it look easy, the parts I got was rough cut or something.. had to use hammer to make them fit other than that so far so good

Are the floor screws long enough to anchor into a deck, or can you swap in longer screws for this?

For sure-couldn’t agree more!

I just bought this got to the end of the build and the center truss is crooked can’t finish

Having just built this shed to 99% completion, including snow reinforcement kit add-on, I can say that it is relatively straightforward to build but complex and therefore time consuming. It is a minimum full day assembly and at least another ½ day to prepare the wooden foundation. Small mistakes early on can lead to lots backtracking if you're not careful, and many of the diagrams have to be read very very carefully or may not include visual aids to assembly opting instead for detailed written instuctions which may hamper the less literate. If i had to choose between assembling this shed or builidng one from lumber, I would opt for the more durable option of building a more solid building for $2500-3000 myself.

Great!

One man, gloves and creative ingenuity g lot it done. The warping of the front and back walls from the sun made it impossible for the gutters to reach….. so I used tape and leaned something heavy against the front wall to get first roof section in. It was down hill from there. Took me 3 days at 4-5 hours each day, but I’m old af, outta shape. This didn’t include me breaking down the pallet on the street and walking EVERY piece 85 feet to the back of my yard the day before. Best workout I had since making babies 14 years ago. One complaint, whoever was in charge of trimming the excess plastic needs a good talking to.

I tried everything and can not get the corners in. Is there any other way besides the block?

I would like to know if this shed is designed to be free standing or should be anchored. Please let me know.

Nice shed I wish I had enough money to buy it

very good video

Great video it helped a ton. I do have questions though. Step 9.12 you put the gable over the front door but for me that whole section is super wobbly. Am i supposed to be forcing that gable edges into the channel of the gutter channel or is the only thing that secures that the brace you put in in step 11.5? It just seems all loosy goosey. In the video it seems secure but doesn't mention how that's done.

Also install some Foam Rope underneath ur doors if u have sprinklers near by so the water doesn't get in there :)

Has anyone moved one that is already assembled? Is it possible to use dunnage and move it with a machine or manpower?

have model 60318. on step 2.15 i have to slide in support tube DSP into DSM… but the end of DSP is squared and the hole in DSM is circular HELP!!!!

Gracias por compartir este bonito video y por la explicación a detalle ; voy a la mitad del ensamble y me encuentro este video tan oportuno ! Gracias de verdad , sera de gran utilidad !👍

Every shed I have ever put together has the part number stamped on the metal pieces, your company decided not too.. We also were missing a few bolts and nuts with black tops.. We did not misplace any, the bags were opeded and dumped into a cup..

The corner walls DON'T SNAP IN THAT EASY. The side wall jumps out of the bottom channel.

Our corners don’t align with the window panel wall so it’s very hard to fix the roof panel not sure if it is due to base being uneven

Our lifetime logo door came with a hole punched in the front 2 feet from the bottom in the right panel part, that is not supposed to be there. The boxes were not damaged. We need a replacement door. How do we get that?

What accessory did he use in-between the power driver and screw bit? Can't find them anywhere.

Some bolts holes are small, attach thing to still is not easy at all if not impossible

Here's my mini-review: The 10' x 8' Lifetime brand Outdoor Storage Shed is attractive but it doesn't go together by simply slipping pieces into slots and then inserting screws as you might expect. For example, to insert the corner pieces into the floor you have to use brute strength to bend the plastic to snap it in (after raising the floor on a block), and similarly considerable strength is needed to flex the plastic when joining the sides of the wall sections together, and some other parts like assembling the door latch mechanisms. The instruction manual was not placed in a plastic bag, so when the boxes were opened after being stored outside, rain had soaked it. After drying it in an oven some of the pages were illegible after peeling them apart. Fortunately, the instructions are also online so I printed the missing pages from those (although for the identical model the online instructions were not entirely the same as the printed ones, and were missing one section.) The instructions are good and well illustrated, but a little puzzling at first because only some of the pieces are labelled with the instruction code name, making them a little harder to pair up with the corresponding instruction than need be. The pictures of the various types of screws (e.g. "AZW") are lifesize, making it easier to identify them even though their bag is not labelled e.g. AZW. The instructions include an unusual wedge method to bend the frame to get the doors to align height wise, but this is unnecessary with a perfectly flat base underneath. However, there is no method to adjust the gap between the doors, which is fixed by the arch over top of them. It turned out that the end doors collided or overlapped with each other slightly, making it extremely difficult to close them. By loosening the screws holding the arch together and removing the door latch's aluminum strike plate, it was possible to get them working. There are a few gaps around the tops of the doors which are big enough for wasps to enter, but some duct tape may keep them out. The gaps under the doors are considerable, so to keep snakes and mice out, adding a strip along there is a good idea. If you use the recommended wood floor underneath, vermin can burrow under to create a nice dry nest, but with the drain holes and seams in the plastic floor their smell will rise into the shed, so consider using a concrete base. It was close to two days work for two of us, plus the construction of the base. The instructions recommend two people. A lot of the prep work, fitting the parts together e.g. the windows to their sections, can be done ahead of time by one person. A third person as recommended in some videos would be a bit inactive during much of the assembly part. Hopefully Lifetime will redesign this excellent shed to make it easier to assemble.

I need to build wood floor. How much bigger do I need to build the floor base for the 10x8 shed? Or do I build it exactly 10’x8’? I am waiting for my 10x8 lifetime shed to arrive.

Unmm this was cake walk😮

How tall are the walls from the foundation to the bottom of the roof? Or how tall was the gentleman doing the assembly?

A Phillips bit INSIDE some VICE GRIPS. !! EPIPHANY !! 🤯🧠🧠🧠 Thank you x 100

When I put in the middle truss all of a sudden the floor is popping up right by the door so much that the wall comes out of the floor. Help!

My shed did not come with the small truss brackets in step 2

What’s the part number of the piece the doors go into on the floor??

Can be built by one man with knowledge. A bit fiddly. And a alot of the assembly processes could be shortened by the factory. Corners i found putting a block under the floor pannel gave me extra leverage to push them through. A day to build could be done in less with more bodies.

what is best way to add lightning please, i also want to keep a freezer in the shed

the oceans 11 music helps

How do you get the walls out after they are locked in place?

I don't have the cotter pin is there a specific size that I need to buy

Theres a gap between the doors, do you know waht we could have build wrong

I assume the box with the instructions is the box with material you will need first!!! Right????

The manual shows that the plywood underneath the shed should have 30 drainage holes. Yet the plastic floor that will be on top the plywood won't have any opening. Anyone has any idea why drainage hole are needed? For the unlikely chance of water spill in the shed?

I didnt get the ADZ parts.

Many thanks for the great video and upload. I am about to purchase this shed however I am not clear how the shed is anchered to the concrete base. Are parts included for this purpose? Thanks in advance.

Everything that is provided for step 11 I did not receive in my packages when purchased

Very helpful, but I would emphasize to people up front that this is for the 10x8" shed and that the 8x10' shed has a DIFFERENT video. I spent 20 minutes watching the 8x10 video before realizing the issue and noticed some things didn't make sense.

I bought 2 storages from your company but it always different from real part and in your Manuel Book. Some screws not enough when I install.

Base problem

Well I just purchased and put together the 8x10 60005 shed- that was something I would not want to do again! First off, yes the design is good (in theory) and the videos make it seem so easy….. NOT! I watched visors over and over (I’m not stupid) just to make sure I have it right. Putting together trusses I was shorted on some screws and had to go purchase some to put together. The corner panels are hard to put in place and took some finagling to get in place (don’t believe the videos when they show it so easy to put together). Next beef is I chose to put it in corner of yard and build a wood platform at the intersection of 2 fences (getting concrete slab poured would have been many wheelbarrows of concrete to back yard)-this wasn’t greatest of ideas because you need to get behind and on sides of shed to have someone hold panels in place and I had to shift my shed floor out and away from fence and then try to put it in back in place so don’t secure shed floor to platform (which I didn’t) until I had everything put together. Now doors are my next beef-you have the walls up and trusses in and they say just place the door poles in the bushing on floor and push a cotter pin through bushing and hole in door pole and spread cotter pin. Fine (took awhile on this task folks) but got in and then they say put on front gable and push onto door poles but do that and then u need a 3rd person to hold doors in place while you’re trying to secure gable to trusses and get on roof panels at same time. It was a pain to get roof panels attached to gable ends and trusses and beware-if you screw one of screws into plastic but have to back off because something ain’t quite right you will lose your screw purchase in plastic. The videos say install these metal drainage plates by roof trusses but the manual shows what they gave you is plastic with not get instructions on how to install them (c’mon Lifetime update ur videos to reflect what you have in package) and took awhile to figure out how to install plastic part they gave me. Also they talk about installing foam between roof and trusses and gee they didn’t give me any foam so I had to get some and make do. Next beef is the videos-after showing detail maybe show the full picture to see the whole thing. I’m a pretty experienced handy person and mechanically inclined so I’d caution people to think about this purchase beforehand-videos make it look easy but believe me it’s not all it looks to be. While I’m typing this I’m seeing the shed being put together and it is not the the same as shown in video from QR code scan (c’mon Lifetime update ur videos).

Step 11 is near impossible. How do you screw through metal and make it look that easy? Did you pre drill the holes?

Different panel on video

The hardware for securing paddle lock was broken allowing access with a screwdriver

how much do each of the two box's weigh? Thanks

15 hours with 2 people the pieces nota assemble exactly ang easy as show un the vídeo

The panel in the video is not the same as the panel in the package.

what is the exact color name of this shed?

Possible avoir vidéo en français merci

I want to send a picture. But how?

I don’t see much support for the roof to the walls only screwing into the plastic. :/ a good gust of wind would blow that roof off surely.

Just built this Shed mine was a 10X8 with the side door, so a total of 4 doors. Now I will be straight up with u, thus thing WIlLL give u a run for ur money if u attempt to build by urself. Doing it one person is nearly impossible, lifetime knows this which is why they charge $600 to do ir for u. However just be patient it's doable. But the instructions suck!!! So u need to have common sense

The instructions for model 60330 say to make the base exactly 94" X 118". Is there any reason why I SHOULD NOT make it slightly larger (96'' x 120'')? This is for a wood frame pad.

8x7

Did the girl ever get out?

Garbage… the front gable does not fit that easily… the door hinge (not the bar) doesn’t fit under the trusts.. it’s slicing my door the more I work at it

How many hours does it take to assemble it ?

Too bad you didn’t have a quality control department that at least put instructions in the box. Neither one had the info. We’re screwed for the weekend.

Wow! Dude gots a bandaid on a finger. This is not a risk free operation.

This plastic bends and curves on the sun! Nearly impossible to assemble under direct sun lights. After one year walls begin to bend even more. Had to reinforce. Very disappointing.

Never never again. I am fairly handy and have installed everything from kitchens , to plumbing etc. I installed a previous version of the 10x8 from lifetime maybe 10 years ago or so. This version is cheap cheap compared to that. Also I'd be here for hours timestamping all the areas that are either wrong in the instructiona or does not work exactly as the guy in the video showed such as easily clipping in the corners or simple things like put holes in the wall (AHD) panels so you see if you're lining up to the next wall panel. Overall I regret buying this and it's also 2 times more expensive than the one I bought and installed in the past. Time will tell if it holds up but I regret wholeheartedly and will review any chance and everywhere I can. All these companies selling the same cheap crap with terrible machining

You make the installation so easy but really the corners are hard to put in and the manual that comes with it is completely rubbish. Please make manual that consumers will understand better , I was helping a friend to put her shed together and my question why not build with wood? Her response was because plastic much cheaper, I have build shed many times with but lifetime was crucial that's all I can say to this product.

The kit you shipped to my client is missing part DSN. It should have been in Box GPS. It took you 45 days to ship this product. Will it take you another month plus to fix this? Honestly, this is a disaster for my client. Their renovation schedule is now screwed.

조립하는 중입니다. 종이 설명서는 큰 도움이 안 됩니다. 혼자 동영상 돌려보며 6시간 조립했습니다. 두어시간 더 투자하면 완성되겠네요.

We don't need to watch you put in every screw

Don’t buy. Base problem

My wife bought one of these without consulting me. It is miserable to assemble (and obscenely expensive) and nowhere near as smooth and easy as the video. Components don't align nicely and as others have said, the corners don't just snap in. Definitely a bit of editing and cheating happening in the video.

For 2000 CAD you could give us some bits at least .shity design to anoying .unmarked parts .....i wish i could go back in time and not buy it

Do NOT purchase this shed. It is not worth the 2k$ price tag that Costco sells it for and it’ll take the smallest gust of wind for it to fly away or break down and its very cheaply made
