Patiowell Outdoor Storage Shed 8x6 FT, Garden Tool Storage Shed with Sloping Roof and Double Lockable Door, Outdoor Shed for Backyard Garden Patio Lawn, White

This is a light (emphasis on "Light") shed we bought to store bird food and misc garden tools. It fit our needs to a "T." I put the whole thing together by myself, but an extra pair of hands would have helped me assemble it faster. The paper instructions were mostly clear, but in a couple of spots I had to go on-line to see the .PDF instructions so I could enlarge the picture in order to see how to position the left & right strengtheners. Other than that, the whole thing assembled easily. Finally, for $120, this is a great value.

’m really impressed with this shed! The metal structure feels solid and well-built — once assembled, it doesn’t shake or move even during strong wind or heavy rain. The design is simple but looks very clean and modern in the yard. I love that it has double doors, which make it super easy to move big tools or equipment in and out. Inside, it offers plenty of storage space for lawn equipment, bikes, gardening tools, and even some extra boxes. The roof vents are a great touch — they help with airflow so it doesn’t get too hot or humid inside. Assembly takes a bit of time if you’re doing it alone, but the instructions are clear and the parts fit together tightly. Once finished, it feels extremely durable and weather-resistant. Overall, this shed is an excellent investment for anyone who wants a clean, strong, and weather-proof space to organize their backyard. Definitely worth it for the price!

Good value for the price. It was a bit of a challenge to assemble. Very strong wind blew it over before I got it completely assembled . Almost no damage to it . So I'd say it's pretty sturdy .

Even through the years when I’ve purchased a product that was dissatisfactory, I’ve never taken the time to ever write a negative review. For this product however, I’ve been so frustrated with it that I am actually going out of my time to write one. First of all, every. single. piece of this shed, which is probably around 30 panels, is wrapped in the cheapest quality plastic that must be peeled off. It’s the equivalent of trying to peel wet tissue paper off of something. It took literal hours to peel every panel as the plastic is so thin and cheap that it rips off every inch or so. Second, every piece of the shed including the panels, frame pieces, and supports are razor sharp at every edge. Even while trying to delicately handle them, I have multiple cuts on my hands, arms and even on my legs where they have grazed while I was manipulating them. Expect lots of cuts and bleeding while assembling this shed. Keep a first aid kit nearby. Thirdly, the quality of the panels of this shed are so incredibly cheap and thin that they dent and bend at the slightest pressure. I could literally make origami with these aluminum panels. I am one to be very meticulous when assembling things and even then, there are dents and unsightly bends everywhere. Lastly, the way the individual parts were packed was so poor that even before having to work with such embarrassingly cheap panels, they were mangled and scratched everywhere. Maybe if the protective plastic wasn’t so paper thin it would actually do a decent job at protecting them from each other. Trying to return it proved to be an even more irritating endeavor as they come in four separate boxes. I’m taking a loss with this shed and I hope that no one else has to deal with this absolute piece of garbage that wins the award for being the worst product ever designed. Again, I’ve never been so frustrated with any product I’ve ever purchased before but this one is the champion of being the single worst product ever created in human history. And that includes putting asbestos in ceilings and filling blimps with hydrogen gas. Don’t buy this. Get something better.

First off...I knocked off one star because the packaging wasn't terrible but it also left me with several pieces with some visible dents. The second star was knocked off because of various items...overall build quality, visible gaps between some parts (minor but noticeable), and a little frustration. As I graded this project, I tried to keep in mind that this was a project that cost me under $1,000 for a complete 10x10 shed including shipping and additional materials to build the platform. Similar sheds were anywhere from $1000 - $3000+ for the shed alone. So to answer the question of is this the best bang for the buck? Absolutely. This shed was shipped in 4 boxes via FedEx. All boxes were a manageable size if you're relatively strong or had a helper. I think the largest box was just under 75 lbs. During unpacking, it was easy to check that you received all the parts (each box contained a packing sheet for verification). I laid all the parts out in the yard for quick and easy identification. There's only a few different types of screws to worry about and don't worry, there are extra screws and washers so don't panic when you lose a few (despite the gold screws and white washers seeming easy to spot in green grass, they are like freaking Houdini and disappear out of nowhere). Before you begin assembly, I can't stress this enough. Make sure you are building it on a PERFECTLY level and square platform or other form of foundation. When we built it, everything went together smoothly, the holes mostly lined up aside from where we may have bent something or had something a hair crooked, and the doors opened and closed with no binding. We realized it was crooked after building it and using a come-along, we straightened it up which knocked it ever-so-slightly out of level, which as I learned was just enough to make the doors bind (so I will be releveling my platform soon). During assembly, much of it can be done by one person but there are a couple spots that are absolutely crucial to use a helper with: 1.) When installing the sheet metal corners, they will fold right over if you don't have someone hanging onto them. Don't even attempt that step alone, trust me. 2.) You will want assistance with the upper rail installation as well just to help ensure they are all squared up during installation. 3.) I installed the gable ends alone so it can be done carefully with one person but if you aren't extremely careful, they will fold right over on you. You need to carefully set them into place and make sure you get probably 4 screws in spread out far enough before you let them go. If you do one screw and then let go to reposition or grab another screw, your piece is going to fall off and fold over. Best method is to have a helper assist so you aren't trying to carry everything and do it all at once. They're super light and it'll take 5 minutes with a helper. Assembling the center beam is a pain in the butt. Follow the directions carefully and where it says to leave the screws loose, leave them very loose, because you will be needing to slide part of the metal in-between it. On that note, when you get to the step of installing the center beam, if you didn't choose to wear the gloves during assembly, wear the gloves for that step. I ended up supergluing my finger when the piece of metal snapped into place and my finger was still in there. Don't be like me. When I did the roofing panels, this was where I ran into issues with the holes lining up. Keep your screws loose until you have EVERY hole lined up and then try to verify your sheets are perfectly straight otherwise they will get worse the further down the row you go. Follow the directions carefully so you can reach the center screws for the ridge cap. I installed the panels from the inside standing on a short ladder until I could no longer fit and then finished attaching them from the outside. The ridge cap will need to be bent pretty far to access the screws for the remaining panels once you reach that point. Just try to be a careful as you can. The rest of the installation (door assembly and installation) went pretty easy. I didn't install the plastic covers that went over the exposed screws from the roof panels. They're not exactly in an area anyone should ever be sticking their hands but if you think people will be reaching up there, install them. Those screws are sharp. 😂 Verify your doors close okay and adjust your latch if needed. Other tips... 1.) I used an impact driver (and pliers when applicable) to install all screws but when using the F1 screws, but don't torque them down. They strip super easy. Snug them. If using plastic washers, make sure they're just tight enough to give the washer a little squish so they're doing their job (sealing from rain). On that note, when it calls for washers, use them or your shed will leak. I have not had any rain yet to verify it's leak free even with the washers. 2.) The sheet metal parts are shrinkwrapped with plastic, I assume to prevent scratches. Good luck removing it. I removed it from the pieces where it was noticeable and left it alone if it wasn't too noticeable. You will spend at least a day just unwrapping parts if you try to unwrap it all. It does not come off easy at all. 3.) I'm not sure what idiot came up with the 2-3 hour assembly time, but I can tell you I am generally a jack of all trades and this was nothing at all out of the ordinary for me or my assistant (who assisted for approximately 4-6 hours). Not counting the shed platform assembly. I had around 12 hours in it, split up over 3-4 days. 4.) I would tape or add padding to the roof beams on the underside. They are sharp where spliced together and if you're any taller than about 5'8", you could slice your head on them if you step under that part. 5.) DON'T lean anything against the walls inside or out. While installing a ground anchor kit, my buddy leaned against the wall lightly with his hand and immediately put a dent in one of the ridges. We popped it right back out, but as easy as it dented, you don't want to lean on it at all. 6.) Almost forgot this one but it may be one of the most important tips... Patiowell has both a YouTube assembly video and then a playlist that actually focuses on step-by-step assembly. These videos were a tremendous help as the instructions sometimes lacked the detail needed to align the parts properly or which side to overlap, etc. In conclusion... Pros: Inexpensive, looks pretty good, assembly was fairly straightforward. No special skills or tools needed. Basically tape measure, level, Phillips screwdriver (or impact driver), pliers, and maybe a hammer to gently assist a few parts into place if you couldn't force them into place by hand. Cons: Sheet metal is a bit thin and flimsy, some visible gaps between areas you wouldn't expect to see through, plastic protector nearly impossible to remove, some exposed sharp edges on the finished product, took much longer to assemble than advertised, packaging caused product to incur minor damages, door latch hardware is a little on the cheap side. Hope this helps you make a decision. Overall, I would still recommend this to others looking for a decent shed on a tight budget. Update: I was cautious when installing the screws on the roof to make sure all screws had a plastic washer and were appropriately torqued to prevent leaks from loose or overtightened washers. I still ended up with a few leaks. I am going to have to find a way to sell them up before my floor rots out. Otherwise, the shed is still solid.

I needed a shed to fit in a particular space and these sheds fit the bill. My daughter and I put them together, it took a bit of time. The directions are like IKEA directions so if you are not good with that, find someone that is. Two pairs of gloves are included with the kit and I recommend using them. Building the first shed, I really didn’t need the gloves. There are small screws and nuts and bolts which makes it difficult with gloves, but with the second shed, the edges were much sharper and i sliced my hand twice. So wear the gloves. Not all of the holes line up perfectly, some not at all. Having a fine drill bit was definitely doable to drill proper holes. I'd say that probably 98% of the holes connections line up. On the first shed, it was missing one piece…the very last piece. I contacted their customer service and they replied quickly and sent out the missing piece immediately. Also, with shipping dates, both sheds arrived before their predicted dates, so that was fine, too. For the money, i think these sheds are excellent. I didn’t fancy spending a few thousand dollars for a shed that I'd have to get permits to build. My sheds are nestled between some trees and have a bit of protection from the wind ( it’s very wind where I live). I did put them on pallets in case of minor flooding and I built a floor on those pallets from leftover flooring. You can get that at any ReStore for little money. Then I attached the shed to the floor. I don’t think these sheds would be great standing alone as they are very lightweight. I’m almost 70 years old and could lift the shed by myself onto the pallets. All in all, I am quite happy with them and would buy another if I needed. At first, I was going to give four stars, but I changed it to five stars because they suit my needs perfectly.

I’m extremely happy with this 10x10 shed! The assembly was straightforward, and the instructions were clear, making the process much easier than I expected. The shed feels very sturdy and durable — it’s perfect for storing all my garden tools, bikes, and seasonal items without worrying about weather damage. The spacious interior gives plenty of room, and the double doors make it easy to access everything inside. The design looks sleek and fits nicely in my backyard. Overall, this shed offers excellent value for the price, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for extra storage space.

Missing parts. I did check to make sure I had all parts before starting this assembly. I just didn’t count the screws and washers individually .(since there was over 400 of ea.) I mean who would. So I began putting the 8x10 metal shed together. Everything was great until I got to the roof. This is where I noticed I was short on washers. Pretty important item needed when placing the screw on the roof portion. I had to stop what I was doing and count how many I had. Well I was short 126 washers and I was on a time crunch to complete assembly. I notified Patiowell regarding the shortage of washers and was told that I was correct about the shortage. I was asked to send a picture of the box that the shed came in for “internal review “ ? (Why this would help me , I don’t know) and that they would send me the washers asap. I mentioned that I couldn’t wait since it would be at least a week before I would get them. I proceded with the assembly without the washers. Pretty sure a big mistake on my part since it advertised as being waterproof. Now I am using caulk around like 120 screws. The shed took a while to assemble since I did this alone. Giving this product 2stars and probably would not recommend buying.
