Great shed. Let down by doors.
Having read all the reviews here on Screwfix, I went for this metal shed over a wooden one down to the price (less than half the equivalent decent wooden shed) and the maintenance free upkeep.
Several reviews mentioned it being difficult to construct and poorly made with holes not lining up and having to re-drill. I personally didn't find this a problem. I redrilled less than 10 holes.
The shed itself is very sturdy when all together, but the overall building is let down by the very shoddy door design. Flimsy and made for cheapness. Some runners with wheels would have made the doors smooth to open and infinitely better.
I will have to try and redesign the door mechanism, but overall I really enjoyed constructing the shed. I did the whole thing on my own with only the neighbour required to lift the roof on with me.
PS Delivery took 2 days, not the 4 weeks advertised. I may have got lucky?

Time consuming but worth it.
Similar to other reviews, don’t underestimate how long this takes to put together. Quick delivery, I received a phone call on the Friday to arrange drop off the following Monday. Delivered as promised in two heavy, well packed boxes. I’d advise taking the time to check everything is included before you start - not only to spot any omissions but also useful to recognise the different components (saves spending 20 minutes looking for each part - and believe me, there are a lot of parts!). It took an hour to sort and check the contents, and then two of us 11hrs to construct. Work slowly and methodically - I think this would be difficult to erect on your own. The instructions aren’t the clearest but (almost) everything lined up (ensure the base is perfectly level, zero wind). It looks good, but like others have said, the door slide mechanism is a little disappointing. Solid when finished - but take care not to overtighten the screws (the panels are less than 2mm thick). More long lasting than a wooden shed and very smart.
