Hi mate I can't put the screws in for the door in the door aperture it seems like there not drilled out I have tried screwing through the holes but it only turns about 3 turns
I notice you assembled the shed very close to a wooden fence. I am assuming all the fasteners and fixings etc can be accessed from the interior. I am about to order this shed and intend to site it within a few inches of my 2 metre high brick garden wall. Can you tell me if this might create problems in putting the shed together? Many thanks.
@@briancranch618 Hi Brian, actually no I pulled the shed out from the fence and fixed the screws then pushed it back. I shifted one corner at a time which was quite easy in my opinion.
A great help in our build, great to hear a well spoken, and timed description of the work in stages, being hearing impaired that is so appreciated, along with the subtitles, priceless for us.
Thanks for this demonstration Phil. You made it look very easy to ensemble. I’ve read reviews where people have stated that it takes two people to put together. You have proved that this is clearly not the case! Thx again
Thanks for this video, we built one of these sheds yesterday, it took about three and a half hours which I didn't think was bad for a 71 year old woman and a 63 year old man. Nice shed, looks a lot bigger than we thought it would !!
Hi from Denmark. It doesn’t look too difficult, so I’ll give it a try and assemble it myself. Thanks for a very assuring video, that you can actually assemble it single-handedly. Looks great 🤩
Nice little shed and excellent video. Built mine today with the help of your video. Only thing that might have been useful to mention was the fact the corners aren’t the same size so you have to be careful to follow the instructions and make sure you’re putting them in the right way.
Thanks👍 yea probably should have mentioned that although this video was more about my experience putting it up. Not so much a step by step guide so I missed a few things here and there.
I am thinking about purchasing one of these myself. I had ordered a metal shed and it came today all dented up with lots of scratches on it. Looks like I wasn't the first to own it. I've had my fill of the metal sheds, time for something new. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Chris yea it does seem like a nice little shed relatively solid. I will be making some racking very soon for it! :D

Hello my friend. A beautiful hut for the garden. The assembly of the composite garden shed is successful. A beautiful view in the garden and a hut that will come in handy. Congratulations. See you. I wish you a healthy and beautiful new week. Big greetings...
Planning on buying one this week , this is one of the best instructional Keter Darwin videos iv seen ever ,many thanks Phill great job its much apricated .
Hi there. As I am planning to get a similar shed, I wanted to see one being assembled. You did a fabulous job of and making it very clear and informative as well as showing how easy it was to assemble :)
A very well put together video. found it very good as you went through all the stages with clear pictures and explained everything well. just got a 6x6 darwin so i take it will be silmilar
Great Video. Helped with assembly planning. Put mine up in the volcanic heat this week. I made a 6x4 wooden base with ply and fence posts. Not impressed with the way the roof joins the edges of the apex panels. My garden is quite exposed. I ran a Bead of stixall adhesive /sealant front and back.
Just built the 8 X 6 today. Took most of the day, but doing it alone and windy with showers. The only criticism is the double doors are pointless and a source of instability. I'd prefer a single door
Thanks for the detailed video. Will appreciate if you can advice on bolting long screws in roof and base from outside when you put it next to fence. One side of mine also sits next to fence.
Yea so I pulled the shed out away from the fence to drive in the screws. I then pushed it back into place. It's not very difficult. I pushed one corner then the other gradually.
Brilliant thanks for step by step how to build the Keter 6x4 all that you missed out was which code of screws to use but I sussed that out also mention it can be a fixed to the ground ……… Have you never seen the Wizard from Oz and Dorothy’s house
big help! although it took me and my husband about 5 hours to do😝 but to be fair we're like the chuckle brothers when it's comes to anything D.I.Y related 🤣
Hi , thanks for the video, it showed it was possible to put it up by yourself, and did not require two people as suggested by another video. I want to somehow attached a timber frame to one side to hang rakes, spades and other garden tools. do you think that might be possible?
Thanks Colin. I think it is possible but personally I wouldn't recommend it. The plastic is soft and hollow inside. I have seen it done but I would prefer a freestanding solution.
how do you fix the wall side at the bottom that you fixed that you did other side from the outside the shed also the top at the roof on that side also the same at the back as well ???????????
How did you find fixing the roof on the side next to the fence? I am looking to purchase one of these sheds but it will just fit in the gap down the side of the house so it'll be pretty much hard up against the wall of the house and the fence. Looking at your video, which is great btw, it looks easy enough to build everything from the inside other than the long roof screws. I'd be grateful to know how you overcame this before I purchase. Many thanks. Mike
I wondered about the roof panel too as I want to put mine against the fence. Can't see me being able to successfully screw it in place if the shed is up against a fence. How did it get attached ? Great video , very clear instructions.
Thanks for the VDO. I consider purchasing this shed. Just 1 question - I see the door is on the narrow wall, however, in the catalog it is on the wide wall. Am I wrong?
Great video I have a question, is it possible to install it on a 4x6 trailer and pull it on my van to install a portable shower and portable toilet and to bring things when camping?
Thank you so much for doing this video. We have just bought a Darwin shed and my husband is delighted that he was able to watch you assemble it so thanks.
I'm thinking of getting one of these, do you need access all around to assemble it?, mine will be tight up against a fence on 2 sides,, is that a problem,??.. Great video btw,, 👍
Yes you do need access although I just assembled the shed then pushed it up against the fence. It is quite easy if you do a corner at a time the shed slides on the slabs.
Oh how I wish ours had gone up so quickly and easily....Four of us have spent this weekend trying to get it assembled. It's still not finished. Wonder if we got a wonky one?? None of our pieces just slotted in as yours did.......brute force was required. Even took it all apart and started again making sure we hadn't done something wrong........Nope, still didn't go easily. Just one more battle with the door and it should be done.
Sorry to hear that. They seem to be troublesome if the base is not level. My best advice when putting one of these sheds up is make sure that the base is nice and level as it makes it all go up easily.
@@PhillWyattProjects Yes, the base was level - we'd just had builders in to prepare it for us! Nightmare.....We've had to fill gaps with sealant, buy a hook and eye type door closure to stop the door blowing open, as if we'd fitted the one provided the door wouldn't close at all! I'm in dialogue with Keter but don't think I'll get anywhere! Thanks for your reply, much appreciated x
I am having trouble screwing the hinges on the sides. Does it have to do that i need a good electrical screwdriver? Cause it seems that the one i am using doesnt have a lot of power. Great video... took me 5 hours and i havent finished the door cause i cant screw the hinges
Hi great video thank you. I've just purchased one of these at a bargain of £100 from B and Q but it was a damaged packaged hence why it was cheap. Do you remember if the screws used were special in anyway or just generic self taping screws.. Many thanks 😊
@@PhillWyattProjects thank you Phill for your quick reply, who'd thought searching for youtube video about sheds is a thing but here I am. Flat head is really useful to know thank you. I did message the company so shall see but will try flat head self tapping screws from screwfix if not.. The online manual gives the sizes atleast too
Thanks a lot for your video. Caution this is not the 6x4 version, but the 4x6. The 6x4 version has a large front door, and seems to be quite criticized. I can't even see it now on Keter's website.. Any information about this ?

On the Keter site they are currently both listed as the 6 x 4. Argos calls this shed the 4 x 6. B&Q calls it the 6 x 4 🤷♂️
Hi, Yes I have anchored it to the slab base I made a video about it. It's been up 2 years now with no problems you can watch the video here: ruclips.net/video/d7gBDY8GkN8/видео.html
Hi Phil, nice job 😎 could you build this easy enough and then carry it between two people to the location? Only reason I ask, is because i have a slot down the side of the house and not sure assembly in position would work. Thanks mate
I've got mine and yet to build, but from the weight of the box I would not suggest attempting to move this with no less than 1 person each corner when fully built
I am waiting for mine to be delivered. By chance could you tell me the size of the plastic insert for the window? I would like to upgrade it to something I little less flimsy, if you have an Amazon recommendation to replace it with I would kindly appreciate it.
Excellent video... Just ordered one of these, will be up against a fence like yours, how did you screw the side panels into the base with the fence in the way? Thanks Paul
Hi great, guide, I built one yesterday, but I'm unsure about the window. I'm in UK too and there's a massive black rubber seal in the kit, presumably for the window, but there is no way it will locate this on the inner and outer window frames and there is no mention of this in the instructions or in the included parts list in the manual, but I've seen some videos using self adhesive weather strip to the outer frame but again no mention of this in the manual I don't see you adding any seals or weather strip, doesn't it leak? Appreciate your help.
This is interesting because mine didn't come with the rubber seal or any weather stripping. My window works just fine without it and does not leak. So it might be possible that they changed the design slightly but forgot to leave out the runner strip in some batches.
Thank you for this video. Unfortunately you showed the 4x6 shed, though the title suggested the 6x4. I know, the both are similar, but the arrangement is different.
Yes I know what you mean. Although even on the Keter website this model is called the 6 x 4. The one with the different arrangement is also called the 6 x 4 on their website. They are both 6 x 4 in dimension.
@@PhillWyattProjects I think, the length is a first dimension and width is the second by international standard. On online shops they differentiate the two types.
Great video. I put one together yesterday and found getting the roof panels into the slot a real headache. Now that it is together, something is not right as I have gaps at each end of the roof as it doesn't fit flush in the gutter area
@@PhillWyattProjects Thanks for the advice. I ended up taking it all apart and starting from scratch. I found the problem was once the panels went into the base they wouldn't mind up properly. So ended up making them up outside of the base to make sure they were level, the dropping them in the base. Sorted.
I had the same problem yesterday, I'm building one as part of a landscaping makeover for a lady...the roof pissed me off so much I went home for the day.
I had the same issue with fitting the triangular back piece. The locating "dowels" didn't like up with the gaps in the internal corrugation. I ended having to break the corrugations to make it fit. Spent a good 30mins trying to make it fit before realising it was never going to work. Also ran into issues with the hinge holes being too small and needing drilled up a size to get the screws to fit. Lost about an extra hour because of the issues we had. (base was perfectly level)
Yes, I wondered how you had fitted the other side of the roof, but the shed is quite light to move around, as long as you have not yet bolted it down. @@PhillWyattProjects
Hi Phill, please how did you manage to get the concrete around and between the prefabricated concrete slabs? It seems that everyone is putting edging stones around them to hold the slabs in place and I find your solution much easier. Thanks in advance
Hi, I mortared about 1cm of cement between each slab and a few centimetres of mortar around the edge. It's been fine ever since. Edging stones I guess would be even better although I don't think it is necessary for a small shed base.
The side of my house would just about fit this with only a few cm either side. Problem is I won't have access to either side due to lack of space. Do you think all the screws could be put in from the inside of the shed? For the base etc? Thanks
Hi, I don't think you can screw them from the inside I would not recommend that. You could assemble it the correct way then shift it into position after. It might take 2 people to move it.
I recently purchased this shed and assembled it on a flat base. However, the shed doesn’t seem to be completely straight. I had issues initially with trying to fit the front upper roof piece, one side would fit really snug but the other wouldn’t. Once I got to the end and put the door on, one side of the door is roughly 1-2cm higher than the other side. It seems like I’m a few CM out somewhere but I can’t work it out. Might have to rebuild from scratch. Any advice would be appreciated!
Hmm the only thing I can think of is that one corner or the base is higher or lower than the rest. When screwing the wall panels together you need to make sure they are correctly lined up. If a few screws are out of alignment it could cause one end to curve up slightly.
Hi did you get a piece of rubber with yours? Mine was holding the window together in transit. Should this be used somewhere? I can't see any mention of it in the manual. It looks like a seal for the window.
Thanks for this video. Looks like a fairly easy build. I notice you have it against a fence. I was thinking of putting one in a corner. Were you able to build it against the fence fully or to move the shed to complete the construction then put it back in place?
@@PhillWyattProjects Awesome, I am just about to do the same and hoped it could be easily moved! Nice video mate ...just watched the securing it to the base video too. Much appreciated!
Got one of these sheds on order but I need to squeeze it into a 4x6 space with fence on each side how easy is it to move the shed once its built are you able to screw the base to the walls from the inside rather than outside as this would be much easier ?
I only had to move mine up against one side of fence so it was fairly easy. You do need to add the screws from the outside not the inside. It might be tricky putting it between 2 fences but I would say it's possible.
@@PhillWyattProjects Hi Phil thanks for your reply 👍👍 ive just got the window and the door to do now, cleared the area, laid the flags, bad light stopped play! but yes its been a pleasure to build 👍👍
Yep, I'm getting one of these, so thanks for the excellent video. By the way, you must have had to move the entire structure to get the long screws into the shed on the wall side. How easy and safe is it to move the shed around on a flat day surface? 🤔
Thanks👍 yea I did shift it over to do the fence side. It's quite easy to move I just shifted it a few inches one end then the other. Just enough to get down the side. I just took my time.
I came to the comments section to answer this question because I'm installing this on the tight side of my house. Will have to build it and push it all the way down the side. Thanks for asking and answering the questions.
This has been really useful. I was worried that I would need to hire someone to assemble it for me. I at the least thought it would require two people. I plan to assemble it soon. My only other concern is that I have very little 'wriggle' room to get to all 4 corners and this may be a problem when inserting one of the roof panels. Is this shed light enough to manoevre forward and back to get to the back/ roof?
Hi Melaine it's quite straightforward to assemble just make sure you do it on a level base that really helps. It can be manoeuvred I shifted it a bit at a time to access the part near my fence then shifted it back. I would not recommend trying to lift it but pushing a corner a few cm at a time is possible if required. Hope this helps.
I'm having a similar dilemma, and not sure whether I should buy this or not. I have an odd little garden but can only fit this on a platform between the corner of the fence and a big oak tree! I will have only a few cm wiggle room and there is no way I can walk around it to put the outside screws. The only way I can think of is while I am putting the panels next to the fence screw them in one at a time straight into the floor. That way I don't have to do that step after the whole thing is put together.... alternatively put the whole shed on wheels!!! that may actually work =D

Good luck 🤞
Hi from Denmark. It doesn’t look too difficult, so I’ll give it a try and assemble it myself. Thanks for a very assuring video, that you can actually assemble it single-handedly. Looks great 🤩

Do you screw the base down to the slabs and how do they cope with bad winds, would the roofs stay on in. Bad storm ?

Very helpful but how did you manage all the assembly on the back, particularly screwing the base to the wall panels. Did you have to move the shed?
Hi Phil, nice job 😎 could you build this easy enough and then carry it between two people to the location? Only reason I ask, is because i have a slot down the side of the house and not sure assembly in position would work. Thanks mate
Hi, in my opinion yes you could. Maybe carry it before adding the door on. Just be careful.
I've got mine and yet to build, but from the weight of the box I would not suggest attempting to move this with no less than 1 person each corner when fully built
@@bash1236The more the merrier
Glad this was asked. I have the exact situation. Sounds like building then moving would work then
Thank you for that video. So I can have the window in the door? Is that right.??
Yes I have seen it done.
Great, thank you 😊
Im putting one on a treated wood pallet would you recommend shooting a few screws in the floor to the pallet?
Yes I would add some screws through the floor at the anchor points down into the pallets.
Thank you from France Phill 👍
Your welcome 👍👍
Nice straightforward job, bet you liked doing airfix kits as a kid
I did actually I had loads of them. I had forgotten all about those until you mentioned it 😄
Nice little shed. I'm actually outgrowing the "hobbit hole" and might do the same.......... Or maybe build an extension 🤔🤔🤔🤔
If you have a bit of free space it's a good idea keeps the clutter down. I think I will also build a shed extension at some point just for fun 😁
I am waiting for mine to be delivered. By chance could you tell me the size of the plastic insert for the window? I would like to upgrade it to something I little less flimsy, if you have an Amazon recommendation to replace it with I would kindly appreciate it.
Excellent video... Just ordered one of these, will be up against a fence like yours, how did you screw the side panels into the base with the fence in the way?
Thanks Paul
Thanks 👍🏻 I pulled the shed out from the fence one corner at a time to get the screws in. Then pushed it back.
Hi great, guide, I built one yesterday, but I'm unsure about the window. I'm in UK too and there's a massive black rubber seal in the kit, presumably for the window, but there is no way it will locate this on the inner and outer window frames and there is no mention of this in the instructions or in the included parts list in the manual, but I've seen some videos using self adhesive weather strip to the outer frame but again no mention of this in the manual I don't see you adding any seals or weather strip, doesn't it leak? Appreciate your help.
This is interesting because mine didn't come with the rubber seal or any weather stripping. My window works just fine without it and does not leak. So it might be possible that they changed the design slightly but forgot to leave out the runner strip in some batches.
@@PhillWyattProjects That's good to know, thanks for your reply 👍
Great video, thank you. Clearly you know your stuff
Thank you very much!
Hi i just bought this and your vid is great. Should i bolt this down though?
Very good Phil. Thank you
Thanks!
Thank you
Your welcome 👍🏻
Great video mate 👍🏻 Good to find a great UK channel that is relatable- I'm all subbed up 👌🏻
Thanks Simon much appreciated 👍
Thank you for this video.
Unfortunately you showed the 4x6 shed, though the title suggested the 6x4.
I know, the both are similar, but the arrangement is different.
Yes I know what you mean. Although even on the Keter website this model is called the 6 x 4. The one with the different arrangement is also called the 6 x 4 on their website. They are both 6 x 4 in dimension.
@@PhillWyattProjects
I think, the length is a first dimension and width is the second by international standard.
On online shops they differentiate the two types.
Great video. I put one together yesterday and found getting the roof panels into the slot a real headache. Now that it is together, something is not right as I have gaps at each end of the roof as it doesn't fit flush in the gutter area
The base needs to be very level for the roof to go into place without problems. That is all I can advise. Hope you get it sorted 👍🏻
@@PhillWyattProjects Thanks for the advice. I ended up taking it all apart and starting from scratch. I found the problem was once the panels went into the base they wouldn't mind up properly. So ended up making them up outside of the base to make sure they were level, the dropping them in the base. Sorted.
I had the same problem yesterday, I'm building one as part of a landscaping makeover for a lady...the roof pissed me off so much I went home for the day.
I had the same issue with fitting the triangular back piece. The locating "dowels" didn't like up with the gaps in the internal corrugation. I ended having to break the corrugations to make it fit. Spent a good 30mins trying to make it fit before realising it was never going to work. Also ran into issues with the hinge holes being too small and needing drilled up a size to get the screws to fit.
Lost about an extra hour because of the issues we had. (base was perfectly level)
Hi thanks for vid, im moving but need storage quick in my current house, do you think this can be reassembled in my new house easy enough
I know that they can be reassembled although I've not done it myself. I would keep hold of the instructions and go in reverse to disassemble it.
What did you do about not having access to the other side of the shed. Did you push the whole shed out
Yea I pulled it out a couple of feet one corner at a time. Then shuffled it back. It was pretty easy one corner at a time.
Thanks for the vid, of the screws into panels are they supplied, and on instructions, or just something you added to beef up?
All the screws were included.
What about the screws at the bottom on the side with the fence? You just skipped these as you didn’t have access?
I added them, then pushed the shed against the fence. It's quite easy to push one corner at a time.
@@PhillWyattProjects great thanks!
Yes, I wondered how you had fitted the other side of the roof, but the shed is quite light to move around, as long as you have not yet bolted it down. @@PhillWyattProjects
Great video. Can the door be put on the side rather than the ends?
Hmm no I don't think it can. Although, the window panel can be put on at different locations.
Hi Phill, please how did you manage to get the concrete around and between the prefabricated concrete slabs? It seems that everyone is putting edging stones around them to hold the slabs in place and I find your solution much easier. Thanks in advance
Hi, I mortared about 1cm of cement between each slab and a few centimetres of mortar around the edge. It's been fine ever since. Edging stones I guess would be even better although I don't think it is necessary for a small shed base.
The side of my house would just about fit this with only a few cm either side. Problem is I won't have access to either side due to lack of space. Do you think all the screws could be put in from the inside of the shed? For the base etc? Thanks
Hi, I don't think you can screw them from the inside I would not recommend that. You could assemble it the correct way then shift it into position after. It might take 2 people to move it.
Excellent video, very well explained
Your welcome 👍🏻
Nice one bud!
Just about to build mine.
This will be a great help
No problem Paul 👍🏻
A great help. Thanks a million.
No problem 👍
Great video of to buy one on pay day .are the packets of screws marked for what part they go in
Cool! Yes they are all labelled clearly.
Brilliant video! I found it really helpful. Thanks a lot 😊
No problem 👍
Thanks for the video. Did you add any shelving?
I made some heavy duty racking for this shed. I did make a video about it you can find the video here: ruclips.net/video/4ucaoytsaDc/видео.html
I recently purchased this shed and assembled it on a flat base. However, the shed doesn’t seem to be completely straight. I had issues initially with trying to fit the front upper roof piece, one side would fit really snug but the other wouldn’t. Once I got to the end and put the door on, one side of the door is roughly 1-2cm higher than the other side. It seems like I’m a few CM out somewhere but I can’t work it out. Might have to rebuild from scratch. Any advice would be appreciated!
Hmm the only thing I can think of is that one corner or the base is higher or lower than the rest. When screwing the wall panels together you need to make sure they are correctly lined up. If a few screws are out of alignment it could cause one end to curve up slightly.
Hi did you get a piece of rubber with yours? Mine was holding the window together in transit. Should this be used somewhere? I can't see any mention of it in the manual. It looks like a seal for the window.
I didn't get any rubber with mine. It could be just packaging? My window doesn't seem to need any rubber seal.
Thanks for this video. Looks like a fairly easy build. I notice you have it against a fence. I was thinking of putting one in a corner. Were you able to build it against the fence fully or to move the shed to complete the construction then put it back in place?
No problem. I assembled it and then just shifted it over one corner at a time although it was quite easy.
@@PhillWyattProjects Great, thank you for the reply. Much appreciated.
@@CalmBiker your welcome 👍
@@PhillWyattProjects Awesome, I am just about to do the same and hoped it could be easily moved! Nice video mate ...just watched the securing it to the base video too. Much appreciated!
So how did you attach the gutter rail on the side facing the fence as it would have to be moved out in order for you to get to it I presume?????
Yea I assembled it out from the fence then pushed it back one corner at a time.
Got one of these sheds on order but I need to squeeze it into a 4x6 space with fence on each side how easy is it to move the shed once its built are you able to screw the base to the walls from the inside rather than outside as this would be much easier ?
I only had to move mine up against one side of fence so it was fairly easy. You do need to add the screws from the outside not the inside. It might be tricky putting it between 2 fences but I would say it's possible.
@@PhillWyattProjects am thinking putting it on some kind of roller and moving it into position that way
Great video, weve just bought one of these, guess what im doing at weekend?!!! 🤣
They go up quite quickly. A good weekend project 😃
@@PhillWyattProjects Hi Phil thanks for your reply 👍👍 ive just got the window and the door to do now, cleared the area, laid the flags, bad light stopped play! but yes its been a pleasure to build 👍👍
Yep, I'm getting one of these, so thanks for the excellent video. By the way, you must have had to move the entire structure to get the long screws into the shed on the wall side. How easy and safe is it to move the shed around on a flat day surface? 🤔
Thanks👍 yea I did shift it over to do the fence side. It's quite easy to move I just shifted it a few inches one end then the other. Just enough to get down the side. I just took my time.
@@PhillWyattProjects I spotted that & wonder if it would be possible on a 6 x6 shed I have in mind?
I came to the comments section to answer this question because I'm installing this on the tight side of my house. Will have to build it and push it all the way down the side. Thanks for asking and answering the questions.
Great video, but how did yiu get the screws into the side up against the fence? Cheers.
Thanks. I added the screws then pushed the shed against the fence.
How did you add roof near fence and how did you drill base near fence . Can it be built then moved to position
I pulled it out a couple of feet from the fence then pushed it back afterwards. Just pushed one corner at a time.
This has been really useful. I was worried that I would need to hire someone to assemble it for me. I at the least thought it would require two people. I plan to assemble it soon. My only other concern is that I have very little 'wriggle' room to get to all 4 corners and this may be a problem when inserting one of the roof panels. Is this shed light enough to manoevre forward and back to get to the back/ roof?
Hi Melaine it's quite straightforward to assemble just make sure you do it on a level base that really helps. It can be manoeuvred I shifted it a bit at a time to access the part near my fence then shifted it back. I would not recommend trying to lift it but pushing a corner a few cm at a time is possible if required. Hope this helps.
Thanks Phil, much appreciated will do.
I'm having a similar dilemma, and not sure whether I should buy this or not. I have an odd little garden but can only fit this on a platform between the corner of the fence and a big oak tree! I will have only a few cm wiggle room and there is no way I can walk around it to put the outside screws. The only way I can think of is while I am putting the panels next to the fence screw them in one at a time straight into the floor. That way I don't have to do that step after the whole thing is put together.... alternatively put the whole shed on wheels!!! that may actually work =D
