Love the space! Installing this shed allowed us to use the third stall in our actual garage again.
Be aware the installation time that Lifetime says it will take is well underestimated. I had my contractor assemble the shed and anchor it to the cement pad we had previously poured.
The two guys, the total work time assembling the shed was 2.5 days. Luckily, he cut me a break on the labor costs as he didn't think it would take that long. :-)
Once again, we absolutely love having the extra storage space. The shed itself seems to be very sturdy considering it is a plastic shed. If replacing a wood or steel shed, the structure of this shed will seem quite different as the walls will flex.
I would like to see an option from Lifetime for a shed this size without windows and added structure for security purposes.
Due to the location of where we placed the shed from our house, we blacked out the windows as a security measure to keep prying eyes from seeing the contents. It would also be a nice added security feature to have metal cross beams installed in the wall panels and a deeper floor plate for securing the doors.
The two skylights are nice as they let in some natural light, but are not necessary. I ran a power cord out of my garage to the shed and set up a shop light. That was easy to do and works great.
The good:
Bi-fold door with regular sized door
Size
Cost
Easy to add shelving (be sure to use compatible shelving if mounting on walls)
Color
Bi-fold doors have four lock pins to help with security.
The not-as good and recommended improvements:
Somewhat difficult to assemble
Need windowless option
Not as secure as it could be (the addition of metal cross beams in the wall panels and a thicker floor plate for the door would be good)
There is no such thing as a perfect solution. But for the cost, this shed meets all of our needs and we are very happy we decided to go with a Lifetime shed.
