Greesum Metal Outdoor Storage Shed 5FT x 3FT, Steel Utility Tool Shed Storage House with Door & Lock, for Backyard Garden Patio Lawn (5' x 3'), Brown

This shed took about 2.5 hours to assemble with my wife’s occasional help. I’ve seen other reviews say this is a two person job and for the most part that’s true. However, if you have something like saw horses or ratchet straps or really anything that will support the vertical portions without you having to hold them, then it’s a one person job. The pros: - this shed is a GREAT value for the money. A huge cut above anything I could find at Walmart or Sam’s or Home Depot, etc - it’s fairly easy to assemble if you’ve got an impact driver. Don’t buy any means use a screwdriver unless you’re just a glutton for punishment. You sometimes need the extra force of the impact driver to bring the metal into the correct position. The thing is somewhat sturdy on its own. It’s heavy enough that someone couldn’t just pick it up and throw it or something to get to the contents. It’s got a plastic coating which I did NOT tear off because I figured it added to the weather protection Cons: - unless you’re a short person you won’t be able to stand up in it. The thing is pretty short. But then again it’s a storage shed. You’re probably not gonna be walking around in it. - The screws provided are incredibly small and I wouldn’t trust them to hold up to much - The thing is fairly weak overall. If I fell into it I think I’d bust through the walls. And if two people wanted to get your stuff, then all they’d have to do is stand on either side and pick up the shed since it does not have a bottom - The included latch is flimsy and so is the hardware. But again, you’re paying for the shed, not top quality hardware. Again, that’s an aftermarket thing. - The thing is not super waterproof. Water WILL get in the bottom. I haven’t observed yet whether it gets through the roof or the sides but it definitely gets through the bottom if there’s nothing under it and it’s open at the floor - Overall, it’s a cheap shed and you get what you pay for, but if you do what I suggest below, you get a really quality shed. TO MAKE IT BETTER AND STRONGER: I set out to reinforce this cheap budget shed and make it at least a bit more intruder proof and make it not feel like it’s blow away with some heavy winds. It cost me an extra $70 or so at Home Depot if you already have some basic tools (drill, impact driver, circular saw, screws) Here’s what I did (see my pics and video in the post) if you’re even a slight bit handy you should be able to do this. 1. I laid five concrete blocks ($2.98 each) on the corners and center of the bottom. This helped to weigh the shed down and provide a raised platform so water running under it wouldn’t automatically touch the contents of the shed. (I live at a rental property so I couldn’t do anything drastic to anchor it. If I owned the property I would’ve used concrete anchors through the base into the slab on my back porch or I would’ve used rebar to hold it in the ground like stakes. Lots of different options to anchor it to the ground) 2. I bought the cheapest plywood I could get that had some sort of weather coating on it. It was $14 for a 4x8ft sheet at Home Depot. Don’t remember what it was called. Other options could be buying a sheet of plywood and painting or coating with epoxy to help it not rot. Really anything like that’d work. I cut it to the dimensions of the base and sat it on top of the concrete blocks 3. Next came framing (something I’d never done before this, so you can do it too). I bought a 8ft piece of 2x6” pressure treated wood and two 12ft 2x4” pressure treated wood. I cut the 2x4s into four vertical pieces to serve as studs in all four corners of the shed. I anchored these to the shed usIng Tek wood-to-metal self drilling screws that I already had on hand. Lots of different screws would work but these got the job done. I used a combination of 1 3/4” screws and 3” screws going down the side. I then used the 2x6s to make shelves running perpendicular to the 2x4s. They were attached with cheap decking joist things (not sure what they’re actually called, you can see them in the video). They were similarly secured with tek screws. 4. Use an assortment of hooks or whatever you like to hang things from the “shelves” and organize that bad boy! 5. Lastly I upgraded the lock. For $8 at Home Depot you can get a much nicer locking mechanism and secure it with stronger bolts than the provided ones. Haven’t gotten around to installing the lock at the time of writing this but it’s not hard. 6. Optional: I didn’t do this but if you want to make extra sure you don’t let in the elements or cause you’re shed to rust, you could use finishing washers with every single screw OR go back and slop some sealant over each screw to make it airtight. I’m not too worried about that though. Prior to doing this I searched high and low to find a tutorial for how to make this stronger and I couldn’t find anything. Literally seemed like no one had ever done this which I find hard to believe. So I share this to say that I’m not overly handy but I could do it. Total extra cost was around $70-$80 so for about $200 you can have a REALLY solid shed. Hope this helps somebody.

Es muy funcional y es justo lo que esperaba. Muy buenos materiales, es algo complicado de armar pero en si es un buen producto.

This is a smokin deal for an aluminum shed. For me I have a concrete patio, and for the money, I couldn’t be more pleased. In total, this took me between 5-6 hours to remove the wrap and build by myself, no assistance with exception to relocating the final product. I took two days to build this shed. It took me under two hours to pull all the wrap off. I recommend this, as it will familiarize you with the parts, and the shed will be so ugly if you don’t. Most wrapping came off in one giant piece. There was only one part that was more of an issue and that was due to the wrap being bent into the mold, additionally this piece is not visible when the unit is built. I built this in my garage so wind wouldn’t be an issue. Then my son and I moved it to the back porch, it was not heavy. There are 160 screws, DONT USE A DRILL. If you don’t have a decent screwdriver, buy one. A drill will strip most of these screws out compromising your shed. I stripped a few with a handheld screwdriver. The holes lineup! At least they lined up for me. The bottom frame took a bit of bending and maneuvering at once corner, but truly that was the only bugger. I did not have to create new holes. I do have one big concern, in the the front part of the roof is only screwed on to this sheet metal vs an aluminum type stud. This does not feel very strong and I do fear a strong wind may rip it off. That part seems like bad manufacturing as all the other seams screw into sturdy thick aluminum and the screws are very tight. The worst part of this kit is the damaged pieces in the box. Some lives had bends in the pieces right out of the box that are noticeable on the finished produce. Other pieces have some substantial scratching that I worry will rust up in the rears to come. For the money, this is hand down unbeatable and worth it. Be prepared to put in the time and don’t try to rush it!

La lamina es muy delgada y algunos orificios no cazan, algunas piezas llegan dobladas, pero en general funciona le mande a hacer un piso de lamina y quedo muy bien, por el precio es un buen producto...

Me gusto porque puedo almacenar muchas cosas y que se mantengas resguardadas. Lamentablemente me falto una pieza y no me di cuanta hasta el final. No deseo devolver, lo que necesito es la pieza faltante. La pieza es W1A
