I’m a single mom and I followed your instructions to the T! I was able to put this together because of your step by step instructions all by myself (with the help of a chair at the beginning 😆). Thank you!!
IF IT WAS NOT FOR YOU, WE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO BUILD THE SHEDS WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! KEEP MAKING GREAT HOW TO VIDEOS.
Very well done, especially the assembly of the door hinges, as the instruction manual was not well done concerning them. The steel roof bar in my kit was raw metal, so I cleaned the tape goo off, degreased it, primed and spray painted it black. All else went together nicely. Thank you, Duke.
Wish we had looked for this video before we started the assembly!!! This made it SO much easier to figure out, as the printed instructions that came with the shed were very hard to understand, especially the black roof support bracket and roof locks. You saved us ... thank you!!!
This was so helpful and to the point. I am grateful. I built mine on my own within the hour! 5'2 115lbs. IDK why everyone on the Lowes site was complaining it was a breeze.
Great video, I purchased for 299 at lowes and did not even open up instructions after watching your video twice. Great job thanks. fully assembled in 2 hours. It did fit in the trunk of my Nissan Altima while it hung out the back a little but got it home no problem just tied the trunk lid closed.
Best instructional video ever! Never needed the manual instructions, only but to try to figure out the roof lock. The parts were different. My 5x2 Craftsmen Shed had two plastic right angle pieces to screw into the roof with 4 screws on each side. Still have 6 screws left. Still trying to figure out where they go. Not sure why thy changed the roof piece. My guess it was cheaper to use the plastic then metal. Whose knows it looks great. Thank you.
Had not trouble until the metal Support Bracket. Couldn't figure out which direction and where it belonged. Instruction Manuel wasn't too clear on that. Thank you so much for you clear explanation.
Thank you so much i just put mine together and it didn’t have a manual since i got it for $50 and its super nice . Also i used a drill carefully with 0 issues
The box mine came in was destroyed by rain so the instructions were also, so this video was a great help. The screws for the hinges I was provided with were a size to large. I just drilled out the threaded hole on the hinges with a 7/32 drill bit and then I could get the screw in. I had to start the screw before I put the hinges on though then tighten them down after the door was fully on.
You did a wonderful job on how to assemble. Should add how to use a screw driver to line up the hinge holes, and use soapy water to slide the walls on which will require less mallet pounding.
This is also marketed as the Suncast BMS5700 Shed (Wayfair). It may be a discontinued model? Anyhow, This thing was a bit of a pain in the backside. 2 sets of instructions noting "addendums". +36 degrees outside, sweat in the eyes trying to refer to both sets of instructions. Thank you for taking the time to create and post this video.
This video was a giant help. The shed is well designed, and the instructions are good, but the video showed all the steps, and underlined all the fiddly bits. Thanks for a great video.
@@chris I just found the best part - the full Table of Contents to each section of the video - including the fiddliest part: 6:03 - Door hinge installation
Slapping mine (Suncast BMS5700) together tomorrow....glad I thought to check RUclips for a few pointers! You can bet I'll have your video handy during the build! Thanks!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS VIDEO!!! 😭 my partner and I just got this same shed and it took us a couple hours just to get to the part where you put the door hinges on the opening doors. We were able to finish out the rest of the shed smoothly after watching your video. 😭❤️❤️❤️ your a real homie! 🖐🏽🙏🏼🙌🏽
I have the Suncast version that I put together today. The molding looks exactly the same minus the branding and handle. Wish I found this video before assembly because installing those two back panels got me frustrated thinking I had to place them on base slots first and then slide towards the side panel while trying connect them without lifting the back panel off the base. Took me 30 mins to figure out that I can just push down after connecting the back and side panels first. 😅
Thank you! This video helped speed things up quite a bit. Took about 2 hours with the help of my 7 year old. Instructions were great but some of my pieces were a little warped. Had to do a few adjustments. The quality isn't as good as a Keter model of similar size. Too lazy to take it apart and return so will use it. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for this useful video. I literally did not need a manual. A fewcorrections: 1) the box fit into my Tesla S with rear seats folded, so it may also fit into bigger cars 2) the ceiling does not seem to have those lock pins anymore, instead screwed 90 degree brackets at the front
$439 after taxes now 🫠 tried to get it delivered and they quoted me $79 so I dragged this bad buy to my crv this afternoon all by myself. Your video was helpful, thank you!
This is identical to the Suncast 5700 series but it did not bring the two front L hook for the front roof support I will have to improvise on that one. I viewed several videos on assembling these shed. Your video is superior to all of them excellent job. Mr. Tool Time guy.
thank u I just sent this to my husband so he can use your directions instead of the directions that came with it ..craftsman*s directions are too hard. Thanks ur the real M.V. P.
I e had such trouble with this shed. First, the roof support bar that came in the box was twisted, so I had to wait for a replacement to arrive. Now one of the hinges won't clip into the roof. I came to watch your video again to see if I could find an answer but yours went together so easily.
I put together the smaller version of this shed 4’x2’ with roof that raises and had zero problems with the hinges and screws/bolts. HOWEVER, with this large version, I had the same issue experienced by others in that the bolts would not thread into the opposing hole…no matter what I tried. I put the bolts in before mounting them on the doors to make sure they would thread. It will go into the primary hole just fine but absolutely WILL NOT screw in any further. I even called Craftsman to complain 🙄 and was told to take photos of “the problem” and email to them. I ended up mounting the doors anyway and am hoping they stay on. I might try a drill once the battery charges because a screwdriver ain’t gonna do it!
Super helpful video and got the install done in a few hours without help and taking long breaks! Question: after assembling it, how do you recommend transporting it to the final location?
I just pushed and pulled it outside my garage, around the side of the house to the back yard. It's fairly lightweight and was easy to do it by myself. Thanks for the comment and I'm glad my video helped!
OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIVORCE MY KNOW IT ALL HUSBAND. ALMOST DONE EXCEPT TO ANCHOR THE ROOF. NOW TO MY BOTTLE OF VODKA TO CALM THE NERVES. LOL.
Great video. Owned this for a couple of years ago and am starting to think about putting in shelves. Before I do so though, have been trying to figure out what the holes are for, about chest height. Two on the back wall, one each on each side wall. Any ideas?
I just assembled one of these yesterday, and your video made assembly a cinch. Thanks so much. One question: The side panels and the back panels have a total of 6 chest-high threaded holes that are unused. They're fairly large (maybe 1/2"?). Any idea what their actual size is and what they might be used for?
This was a great video, thank you for posting. What Craftsman doesn't tell us is you should put some WD40 or something on the end of the hinge screws because it is a difficult drive other wise. I think I stripped the first one because after not being able to get the screw in I lubed the rest and they slid in easily. Only recommendation I have on top of the insights this video offers.
So glad it helped you out, Daniel. I agree, the instruction manual wasn't the best--I think I said that a few times in my video haha. I'm hoping a lot of people and this video and it helps them out too.
Thank you for explaining the hooks. So strange. I didn't finish building mine tonight because....I can not figure out how to install them???? The roof is all I have left to install. I found the hinges to be a pain. Looking forward to completing this tomorrow morning 🌅 Thanks again!
I had trouble getting the provided 1/4” machine screw into the threaded hole of the door hinge, no matter how I tried. So I used a slightly smaller #12-24 x 1 1/2” stainless steel machine screw with a matching #12-24 stainless steel nut. It’s a tight fit getting the nut in, but with a little patience it’s doable. I did have to use a thin head wrench (7/16” I think) that I purchased from Home Depot to tighten the nut. So if you can’t get the door hinges to work with the provided machine screws, try using a smaller machine screw with a matching nut.
Great video Chris; it was a tremendous help, but after five hours trying to thread the screws into the predrilled holes in the hinges, I have only succeed in securing two of the six hinges. I notice your video quickly skimmed over that task; any chance you have tips or a more focused video?
I was having trouble with this too. A little tricky because there's no track that guides the screw from one side of the hinge to the other. Make sure the corner of the hinge has fully hooked into that groove in your side wall. Support the door as you're working. Someone mentioned further down that screwing this in will take some brute force so you probably will want to use a drill. Make sure your screw is aligned with the exit point. If the screw is still locking up it may be worth checking that youre able to thread it through the hinge when it's off the door.
I used another tool to “pry” the hinges up, from between the door and the wall part of the hinge. It helped me thread the screws, as the part of the wall the hinge attaches to, gets in the way. I had to hold the hinge in a pry up position, if that makes sense.
thank you for clarifying where the metal bracket goes since the drawings in the instructions do not show clearly. One pointer.... Brooms go bristles up so they dont get ruined and swashed.
Thank u so much for putting this video 2gether it was a life saver or should I say shed saver cause I couldn't understand where that bar went or how to secure the roof and thabks 2 ur video now i know 👍 great job
I haven't tried to disassemble mine yet! It's still outside where you see at the end of the video holding crap :) Might have to wait for a warm day, leave it in the sun to warm up and then try again.
Hey I live in a hurricane state of Florida and I want to attach the shed to the side of my house. I built a wood foundation and I'm thinking I could use some tie downs to secure the foundation. Any tips?
@@chris I did wind up caulking the back wall center and side seams from the outside, but I decided not to caulk the top edges in contact with the roof because I assume it would need SOME sort of ventilation for air flow. Otherwise any dampness might develop into mold. I am also trying to put some sort of "gutter" or diversion barrier along the top front edge of the roof so water doesn't run off the roof and down the front door.
My door didn't come with the roof lock to keep front of roof closed. It also wasn't in the manual listing of hardware. Was this a add on? Or am I missing parts? Purchased in 2021.
what about if it is waterproof? My 6 feet by 2.5 feet wide shed has big gaps in the roof area along the back... concerned about rain coming in. any thoughts?
Is this really that easy !! I bought one two years ago. Haven't opened the box yet. My old one not the same as this, is bent all out of shape over 18 years. It is time to open the box , I guess.
Read the instructions and Yes CONFUSED. your video really helped. Question. Interior walls at about 4 feet up is a bolt patters on all walls. Would you know the bolt size and thread?
Regarding the hinges, it seems that the powder coating got on the threads so break in the holes by screwing the bolts into the holes before the doors go on. Trying that right now, and great video. I’m having my vodka whilst assembling...!!
Hi Chris: I just watched your video and my concern is the hinges 3 on each side. I can't seem to screw in the BB screws through the clip. What am I doing wrong? I'm anxiously awaiting your response. Thank you Robert
I recommend you trying to put the fasteners into the metal clip before trying to do it with the door on. Make sure they go in correctly, and then you'll know the correct angle that it needs to be for the threads to take it properly. If they still won't thread properly, it could be either that A) you stripped the threads or B) it wasn't machined properly. If either, then you'll either need a tap & die set to correct it, or contact CRAFTSMAN for replacements.
@@chris Chris with your knowledge I was able to screw in 5 of the 6 hinges. I will call sears to replace 1 BB screw and hinge because they never lined up and they are stripped. Thanks again for your video and expertise.
Anyone have any good links / ideas to purchase some good shelving for this great shed? Prefer the same resin type like the shed materials itself, any help would appreciated?

What are the threaded holes for on the right and left walls? Do they make accessories or something to go in those? :-/
During hinge installation, how did you get the screw to go all the way through. No matter how I've attempted it, it won't screw through as your shows.
Brut force. That's the answer
Correct! :)
How do you cover small spaces inside?
Hi Chris: I just watched your video and my concern is the hinges 3 on each side. I can't seem to screw in the BB screws through the clip. What am I doing wrong? I'm anxiously awaiting your response. Thank you Robert
I recommend you trying to put the fasteners into the metal clip before trying to do it with the door on. Make sure they go in correctly, and then you'll know the correct angle that it needs to be for the threads to take it properly.

@@chris Chris with your knowledge I was able to screw in 5 of the 6 hinges. I will call sears to replace 1 BB screw and hinge because they never lined up and they are stripped. Thanks again for your video and expertise.
No problem! So happy it helped! I hope you mean Lowe's though. Sears doesn't sell the NEW Craftsman products like this shed.

Glad it was helpful! You were a lot quicker than I was at it :)
Could you fit a push mower in there?

Anyone have any good links / ideas to purchase some good shelving for this great shed? Prefer the same resin type like the shed materials itself, any help would appreciated?
