Very satisfied with the ease of build and the overall build quality of the Lifetime 8x10 Shed (model #6405). Shed was delivered quickly on a large two-pallet sized truck freight, came in two large cardboard boxes and was plastic wrapped on the exterior. Upon opening the cardboard boxes, each piece was neatly packaged, and the loose items such as the misc. bolts and nuts were properly contained within a box.
Instructions were very descriptive and can be easily followed. Diagrams are clear, parts are identified with alpha numeric part numbers and can easily be located upon removal of packaging. Some of the bolt bags contained extra screws/pieces so don't worry if you have left over pieces. This shed took approximately 7 hours to build with two people going slowly and taking breaks for food and drink. The most difficult portion was getting the wall pieces to clip into the slots in the floor, as well as getting the corner pieces to correctly align at 90degrees.
Be careful when using the wider pitched screws when attaching the wall pieces together: do NOT over tighten. This will strip out the plastic. Use very low torque setting on your power drill or just use a hand screw driver. The roof sections need some massaging to get it to align properly, so don't tighten all the screws down on the roof supports upon initial installation, keep some of them loose and push/pull at angles to get it to align properly. Make sure the corner wall pieces and the rest of the walls are straight prior to mounting the roof/gable pieces.
There are potential points for water entry (underneath the door, door hinge area) which hopefully isn't too bad. All the roof pieces overlap each other, so I was pleased with that design. Wall piece connections also overlap. I will be attempting to use a third party water sealant on the wall-to-floor- connection area to prevent water coming in from the bottom.
In conclusion: Great Quality Shed; Easy to Build; Wall-to-floor connection little iffy; Good pricing; Very Satisfied.
