Suncast 8' x 10' Heavy-Duty Resin Tremont Storage Shed, Sand

Assembly was super easy! You will need 2-3 people to help but it only took 2 hours at most ! After a while it’s still holding up to weather !

This is a nice shed to store your excess stuff in, or lawn mowers and such. Now that it is done it looks pretty good. It was a pain to install for some of the steps, but overall was not too terrible. My son and I (I am a 68 year old arthritic female) assembled it in about 8 hours, with appropriate breaks and such. I read in some reviews that the vents at the top of the front and back were not well done, as the screen material tore or bunched when the screws were installed. To avoid that issue, I used washers on the screws and it solved the bunching issue. However, the screen material was cut way too short. On both vents there were places it only barely touched the edge. I used silicon caulk all around the edges of the screen material and that seems to have sealed the not so great fitting edges. The 6 skylights are wonderful. In the day time it is as bright inside as if you had a bright light turned on. Nice. While the skylights are a frosted material (not clear), the windows in the doors are very clear plastic. If you live in an area where thefts are an issue, you might not want totally clear windows in the doors so anyone can see exactly what you are storing. The walls and doors are not exactly solid, and it wouldn't take too much to break in if someone really wanted to do so. I put frosted contact paper on the inside of the door windows and it works great. Still lets in light, but no one can see the contents of the shed. The very worst step in the installation was adding the roof panels. The instructions tell you to have one person inside the shed to install the screws (which are too short to do a very good job. We used slightly longer screws, and even those were hard to get to catch), and the other person needs to go up top and "push down" on the panels. That is a pretty tall roof! On a very sturdy 8 foot ladder my (almost 6 foot tall) son tried to reach up and hold down a panel. I was inside waiting for the go-ahead to try the screws, when I heard him exclaim urgently. I couldn't tell what was happening from inside, so I stepped out and found him trying to hold onto the roof while the ladder was half tipped over. Luckily there is another shed 3 feet away on that side, and it stopped the ladder from going completely over. Needless to say, it was not a pleasant experience. So, there was no way I was going to let anyone try to climb up and lay over that roof. Just not worth the risk! I had read one review where the person tied bricks to the roof to hold down the panels and he said it worked pretty well. This is what we did: We took two 16 foot cargo tie-downs and tossed them over the roof so that each end was draped over the edge of the shed on either side. We did one roof panel section at a time (the two front panels, the two middle panels, then the two back panels). We filled 4 buckets with large rocks and then each of us got on one side of the shed and we lifted up 2 of the buckets at the same time and placed them on the hooks on the end of the tie-downs. We repeated the process with the next tie-down and the last 2 buckets, easing them up or down until they were evenly suspended over the shed. Then we laid a 8 x 16 patio block over each bucket for extra weight. It may or may not have been as good as a "body" lying across the roof, but it was certainly a lot safer. My son was able to get the roof screws in place (using the longer screws I mentioned earlier). Hey, whatever gets the job done, right? In order to provide more weight for stability in strong winds, we filled four 5 gallon buckets with big rocks (we have no shortage of rocks around here) and placed them inside the shed at the four corners. After the assembly, I noticed there were a lot of very large holes around the trusses where bees and other critters could come in, so I sealed those with foam and tape, and also used silicon caulk around various places where I could see cracks that were letting light in. Once the doors were installed I was disappointed to realize the windows were a bit crooked. There is a ridge that the window frame fits around, so there really isn't any play to move them, so I guess we will live with it. On both sides the upper left corner is about 3/4 inch higher than the upper right corner. If they were opposites it would have looked planned, but no, they are just tilted to one side the same on each door. The door windows were part of the pre-assembly stuff, so they were not side by side when installed or maybe I would have noticed and possibly been able to torque them a bit. If you know this ahead of time maybe you could measure both door window openings to see if you could fix it at that time. Once the shed was installed I did not want to try tearing the door windows apart. Just one of those annoying little features. Overall it is a pretty nice shed. I believe some things could have been made better, but then it would probably have been a lot more expensive. Delivery was interesting. I read how big the 2 boxes were and how heavy and knew we could never pick them up at the store and get them home in my little pickup. So I had it delivered, especially since Amazon offered free shipping. It showed up in my city 3 days earlier than my scheduled delivery date, and ABF freight called and arranged the day and time of delivery, which I had done 1 day earlier than planned (nice-since it rained all day the original delivery was planned). The driver pulled up at the end of the driveway and he loaded one box at a time on a 2-wheel hand truck and came down the driveway with the box spanning the whole drive, and then turned it sideways and set it upright close to the garage. The garage was as far as they would go, but he couldn't have gotten those huge boxes into my back yard anyway. I was amazed that one guy brought those boxes out of the truck and down the drive with only a 2-wheel hand truck. After he left, we opened the boxes and carried all the pieces to the back yard and laid them on the covered patio, using one flattened box on the bottom and the other flattened box on the top, and patio blocks on top of that because it was due to storm that night. What an adventure. The shed is now occupied by 2 ladders, a wheelbarrow, a lawn roller, a tiller, and a de-thatching machine, and there is still room for more. It was a lot of work getting the pad prepped and doing the installation, but I believe it was worth it.

Pros – looks good, easy to clean, parts fit together easily when level, allows enough light in to see what you’re doing even with the door closed, durable walls, doors, and roof.Cons – scant written instructions sometimes extremely hard to interpret, front/ back roof section holes do not match assembly instructions, 1 window was completely missing notches that keep the window film in while screwing on the cover, floor is not as sturdy as the walls roof and doors, missing screws.I have a giant concrete pad so I didn’t build a deck to sit it on. If I’d have known a deck was necessary, I would not have bought it because of expense and work. It was a cinch to put the floors and 3/4 of the walls together. However, in trying to fit the last walls into place, I realized that the concrete was 3/4” lower at the right front of building. It was hard to discern with my level and inexperience that there was a slight slope. (Lesson learned) I managed to lock the walls into place and shove a 2 x 4 under the right front. However, when assembling the roof, it did not sit completely square and I was unable to fit one of the roof grooves together, which left a 1 inch gap for water to drain in rendering it useless. I managed to take it apart without breaking anything but no matter where I slid it on the concrete pad, the end result was the same. I ended up spraying a big glob of great foam into the gap and calling it a day. It now makes a funny story but my frustration level at the time brought me to tears. Sigh

Solid look and good design. This was very nice and a great value, compared to the cost and installation of a wood shed. There were several unexpected features, including skylights, which can help provide interior lighting.

I'm glad you noticed plastic backyard sheds. They can be an excellent choice for many people due to their many benefits. First, plastic sheds are fairly lightweight and easy to assemble, so setting them up in your backyard shouldn't take long. In addition, they usually have enough space to store various tools and equipment, and can be used to store a variety of things such as bicycles, ladders, garden tools, etc.One of the most important aspects of plastic sheds is their strength and durability. They are made of high quality materials that are resistant to corrosion, weather conditions, mechanical stress, etc. Compared to traditional wooden sheds, plastic sheds require little maintenance and won't rot over time.In addition, they usually have an aesthetically pleasing appearance and this can be matched with any design style of your home. Overall, plastic sheds are a great choice for anyone looking for a strong and durable backyard storage that won't require a lot of maintenance.
