thank you for watching and giving feedback. While this was our first resin shed of this size, and we realize we could have made it better at the start, we feel the average person should still be warned and learn from our experience. We did have it weighed down inside with perimeter weight. The base never moved and that base is 100% level. It was warped upon unboxing. It pops out of its tabs very easy floor to wall. To our defense in our research we have discovered most people having the same experience and it needs to be framed to stabilize it. With that aside most people are experiencing cracks in the corners of the walls even without incidents. Its a bad design. We still feel people should be aware of all flaws before investing it in. Thanks so much for watching!

Not according to instructions. They're suppose to just go into the slots.

Once you add items inside it should be secure but if you will only store small items better secure it to the ground

🤣

Please use some type of L bracket or hurricane strap to connect the floor to the walls.

Thanks for watching and stay tuned for part 2!!! Happy new year!

Thank you for watching !

That's great news!! I hope it holds up well for you! Ours is much better now that we tied it down.

Thank you for watching! I'm happy to hear good reviews it keeps me encouraged!

Lol I know, when it happened I had that visual 😂

Thank you!!

Thank you for watching! We used a combination of lag screws and bolts. All have rubber washers that go on the outside at the bolt and screw heads. We used the following list rubber washers are 5/16x 1.5 x 1/8 the flat metal fender galvanized washers that go on top are also 5/16 we used bolts for corner support brackets and screws for the wood framing. We used 2x3 framing so the screws are 2" and the bolts are 3" because they needed a nut. I hope that makes sense

Good luck! Thanks for watching!!!

Thank you for watching! We built out 7x4 on a level paver base. We were concerned the pavers would crumble if we tried to anchor to it so we used earth anchors and tied it off. John framed tge inside with 2x4. But....a better idea for a base and footing can be found in our Playlist for building our greenhouse! That thing hasn't budged! We used 4x4 and 4x6 for that base! We anchored to tge earth with rebar driven in, in opposing directions!

@@ourbackyardgarden... yes, my 8x8 stone pad is contained by pres-trt'd 4x4s w/overlapping joints at the corner. 55 bags of stone (ouch) and it's not exactly level/flat as this/these sheds require. 2' rebar is next in the 4x4s (2/board). ground anchors may follow once I have a frame installed. I will anchor to the wood frame vs any part of the shed.

@@K03sport if you drive the rebar next to each other st opposing angles, your prestrtd won't budge. If you plan to screw your floor to that, and L bracket your walls to th e floor you won't need earth anchors! The weak point is the walls not fully joining to the floor!

Hi Steve thank you for watching. Your comment is a great idea. I never thought of a plastic welder. The cracks at the corners happened immediately and before the storm damage even occurred. At this point the shed is still up but crazy things are happening with it. The doors are curling and the roof is pulling away. I'm accepting it as a bad investment. The next small structure will be properly framed. Maybe another greenhouse instead!

Oh no.....I totally get the frustration. Ours is still standing but in bad shape. Every corner is separated. This thing was not inexpensive. So sorry you're going through it too.

Thank you for watching. Same as we said, if you pay attention you can see the base never left the ground. It was properly secured. The walls detached from the base. It's a poor tab design. Many many others have had similar issues. Thank you for your comments though

I honestly think it's many factors. This type of material warps in extreme heat, which we have. A design flaw is how the bottom floor attaches to side walls with a tab slide system. There needs to be L bracket or equivalent connecting the 2. Even if the bottom is screwed down, if there are any gaps for wind to enter, it won't stay together. The sides must be truly attached to the floor. And it must be flat and level.

Hi! Thanks for watching! Yes it definitely has its pros and cons.

I think a 2x6 wood base with sheeting floor and 3" header bolts would provide more anchor stability to the shed...that's where I'm at on my 7x7 shed. I just put mine on a hand tamped gravel pad and wish I did the 2x6 base. 😢 live and learn. can't dissemble the shed because the screws destroy the plastic once inserted. looks nice from 10'.

@@K03sport good idea. The sides still need to be permanently connected to the floor because of the poor tab design connections.

@@ourbackyardgarden... agree. now I'm researching the way to frame the shed on 3 sides and run a header over the door to keep it square ⬜

It was

Yes, the issue is, the floor can be tied down but the walls detach! Even if it's drilled to a deck at least connect the floor and walls with hurricane ties! Good luck!!

It's all tied to earth anchors now and the floor is now fully connected to the walls with brackets. Hasn't budged since reinforcement. The real issue isn't the floor being anchored, it's the floor being attached to the walls. It's a bad design

Thanks for watching!

I don't take offense to the term. But people who use it have psychological issues. This says a lot about YOU!

Please consider at a minimum an L bracket to attach the floor to the walls. Building the interior framing also helped and earth anchors we tied off to.

I agree. And also to actually attach the walls to the floor. Over the last year since we reinforced it, it has stayed put. But it has warped badly.

Omg the price is getting crazy! I hear you on wishing you never bought it. It could be worth returning it or seriously reinforcing it to avoid future damage from elements.

I agree it's a major regret. I'm sorry you had a bad experience too.

Thank you for watching! The price did go up substantially on resin sheds. And it's a shame because that plastic will live in a landfill forever. I also have the 2x2 and it blew down as well. Since we earth anchored it and tied it off its now stable.

Actually what happened was, we installed it properly but the connector tabs are inferior, so the walls separate from the floor. It's a poor design.

​@@ourbackyardgardenany way to avoid this? Having same issues where certain connector tabs don't sit properly

@@ALPHABARN I strongly encourage an L bracket or something of that type to connect the walls to the floor. And earth anchor for a tie off point. Even if the floor is screwed or bolted to a base a good wind will damage it. Good luck!
