Got to be honest, worst storage / shed I've ever had the misfortune to buy. Ridiculously painfull to build. Cheap nuts and bolts which strip threads, panels that are so thin they slice like razor blades. Once built it then condensates so much that things rust quicker inside it, than if left in the garden. Plus a cat managed to buckle the roof whilst jumping from a near by tree.
Right sorry rant over! But I feel a little better now! :stuck_out_tongue:

If you cannot put together Ikea stuff or do some DIY, just do not buy this shed, you will be miserable!
I brought one of these from Argos about 15 years ago. Put it together in half a day almost all on my own. Have moved it around the garden umpteen times, its still standing and together. Awful doors but the rest is solid and standard for a metal shed. There is condensate and not much you can do about it apart from put it in the shade. What is more of a problem is the 'vermin' children from nearby, they have buckled the roof from walking on it, but easily bent back into place.
Finally there is some rust on the bottom of the shed after 15 years and a hell of a lot of water and wind, washed the shed clean several times with a pressure washer too plus put in, solar powered motion lights. The shed it great, you can break into it with a lot of noise and crowbar, but only an idiot would spend a day trying to open it with a can opener as it is too tough for that -personally (as it is not anchored) I would just lift it up within a minute as I have the strength :stuck_out_tongue:

No - it's a pile of crap. That's why it's so cheap. Buy a decent wood one.

Like the others are saying, these are a nightmare to build and often won't line up properly.
Even at this price I would avoid buying one.

Nuts and bolts will only strip off you don't have a clue what your doing. These sheds are nowhere near as bad as your explaining. They do exactly what it says on the tin.
