O my God! It took me ages to put this shed together.
With all of its nuts, bolts and panels. I started on the Saturday for around three hours and then Sunday for around two hours and then again in the mornings and evenings after work. Half the way through I then realised there were part numbers on most of the fittings (stupid me!) although these were not very visible. My excuse was you could hardly see the part numbers on each one. Altogether it probably took around eight hours, this shed looks good and has very low maintenance to it such as painting it and it doesn't need any felt.
Like most flat pack things, once you have built one of these sheds it will probably take half the time to build another. Also it tells you to have some help with putting it together. But being a typical man I didn't read the instructions at first until I was half the way through.
Once all the parts were put together it looked good and was pretty water tight. The doors slide nicely open and there is plenty of room inside for your typical garden tools. The door slide all the way across to the walls on the inside so this means you cannot use that front wall to lean anything onto as it will obstruct the doors from opening. You can also fit a pad lock onto the doors so it can be locked up.
Just remember the part numbers are on the pieces! Lol
Price
This shed cost me around £250.
You can find them on Amazon.
Overall
I prefer plastic sheds. I've had this one for two years and it lets in a little rain, and I hope this will last for many more years.
Summary: over all not a bad shed . but prefer plastic sheds.
