Excellent value for money
At first I was a little worried about assembling the shed after I read the reviews, but the instructions were very clear and the illustrations excellent. I was able to build the shed all by myself in a morning and totally pleased with the quality. The materials are good and sturdy. Although the wood is pretreated I painted it with wood stain to pimp it up a bit and it looks as good as a shed can do.
The only negative thing is that the shed doesn't have any shelves but that can be added with a bit of DIY.
Some of the screws were missing but I thankfully had some spares in my tool box.

No tears shed.
Whilst the previous review suggests it is not possible to construct with one person, I can confirm that it can be done, you just need to be prepared to stray from the instruction order a little bit to make it easier. These instructions are perfectly clear, the only downside is the pieces are not labelled so you have to check you've got the right piece using a tape measure which is time consuming more than anything. Pretty similar to most pre-fab sheds that you purchase I guess.
Good little shed, pieces are clean and tidy, components are bagged separately so you're not scrambling to find the piece you need. About half way through constructing and so far, no problems. I thought trying to attach the frame at the front was going to be awkward as the screws needed to be put in at an angle due to a piece of frame being in the way, but as long as you pre-drill though the front piece first it makes it a lot easier.
Nice little shed, seems to be the cheapest available in it's size/shape/function, perfect for what it's needed for.

One person to assemble??
I brought this item on the strength of the comment that suggested only 1 person is required to assemble the product, so I was expecting a nice easy job to put this together. I was, therefore, shocked to find that it comes in about 35 different wooden parts, plus a rolled up bit of felt, there are no pre-drilled holes and the instructions advise that at least 2 adults are required. Also, on further inspection, the parts where you are meant to use screws (in the holes you have to drill) are extremely hard to get to. Basically, once put together, I'm sure it's a nice small shed, but the details on the description are totally misleading.

Can this be screwed to a wall?
Does this shed have any way to screw it to a wall?
Asked by: JD80
JD80 - yes it the unit can be screwed to the wall. the framing on the back panel can be drilled through to create location point on the wall. Following drilling and raw plugging the wall screws can be put through the location holes in the frame into the raw plugs. The Fixing Kit is not supplied with these additional fixings.
