I do read the comments before assembly. Make sure you have the hinges to door the correctly, put mine on backward easy remedy. Also when assembly roof make sure third bracket is placed with the smaller s side into the slot. And the screws line up with up notches. Great video and guide lost the instruction do to wet back. These were the only instructions I had so bravo!!
Yes, and the roof brackets are the hardest thing to install the rails on the roof bar. The third rail has no holes pre-drilled would've been nice to have known that in the video instead of the three seconds explanation.
Thank you for your very thorough explanations and examples. You were easy to understand and were meticulous in your directions and assembly. I really enjoyed your video and will use it to assemble my shed.
Would be nice if ONE of the videos showed how the 3rd bar goes in- doesn't seem to be prematched holes- i cannot figure out- and I have the SAME exact shed sitting right next to me :(
Just finished putting the roof together. Basically just drill the screw right into the plastic without a hole and I assume you figured it out but damn I was confused as well.
Damn I just put one of these together with a customer, you need to put it in very similar to how the door bracket/hing kinda HOOKS IN to plastic them push down all the holes will line up, you may need some help/Second pair of hands however so that the other side doesn't pop out
Just finished mine. Thanks for the tip about the extra latch for added security. With the plastic, someone could easily get in with a multitool, but at least it makes them take longer and gives time to grab my firearm 😂
We just built the Shed tonight 2 houses down from where it will be used... We'll use a Heavy Duty Dolly & hope for the Best!!! Tenants live in the house where this will be used & we couldn't infringe on them to build it. I'm sure it should work out fine! (*Fingers Crossed!!!)
I've got this same model I just bought, and the large plastic screws on mine were a clear plastic. Not sure if the clear plastic are more durable than the brown screws on yours. Though I've got a Suncast shed from 10 years ago that had brown large plastic screws where some of them the head eventually sheared off. There are people who sell replacement screws on eBay. But the thing got flimsy and ended up just getting a new shed.
I would put at least two screws on the sides to really help secure the shelves as on my old Suncast, I didn't put any screws. And eventually had problems of shelves crashing down which ended up causing the sides to bow out, which meant I had to nail on little pieces of wood on the side of the shelves to be able to mount it. I eventually figured out screws were supposed to go in the sides, and screwed it down and didn't have anymore problems of shelves falling down. Though your white brackets is a good move that I should have thought of.
My shelves sagged big time in the middle. I like the idea of adding the extra bracket support that you show here. Did you just screw them into the plastic?
Those bolts in the door are useless. They are not attached to anything solid as there is a hollow there. The small screw is the only thing holding it in place. I have another shed and it kept coming out even though the long bolts were properly inserted. As previously mentioned, after a closer examination I noticed the problem as stated above here. Remedy the problem, you either need 2 small screws, instead of one. They would go at the top and bottom or screw in a thin metal piece above and below the hollow(s) so the doors won't pull out.
OMG. I just went 5 rounds with one of the hinges. It does not fit...I think it goes with another shed. Tomorrow I'm gonna bend that thing with a wrench and make it work. Too pissed right now and gave up.
@@wingedlemur9344 Each panel is light, but the whole package is a beast, like with all of these things. I wish companies would start packing them as A/B sets so that I don't need to bug someone to get sh!t done. This one wasn't bad, but this other shed I build last year had to be like 300lbs, all in one big awkward box. Absolute nightmare even for 2 relatively fit guys. Stupid way to get hurt.
how about if this is waterproof or not? I have the 6 feet by 2.5 feet deep version and there are gaps in the roof... i called suncast they said "water resistant but not water proof" concerned rain will get into the shed with wind. any thoughts?
I have watched hundreds, yes hundreds of youtube videos, this has to be one of the top ones, everything clearling and completly explained
Hundreds?!
I don't believe that.

Yeah except the terrible latch explanation
Looking to buy this shed and really appreciate your video on assembly.
Thank for these instructions ! Very helpful video

Yeah kinda went right over the 3rd bar!!
at first I was concerned with the Roof but after the support was added I think it'll handle some snow. Nice job! Good helper
Does the roof drain forward towards the doors?
Thank you for making this video.

Thanks for the video.
I was worried about the foundation requirements. Thank you
So, no foundation works fine?
Would it be possible to build the shed and then move it to a different location? Would it be too heavy or unstable? Thanks
I called the company and asked the same question.They said it is not recommended

Hi. After nearly a year, is it still doing well? Have you had any moisture problems? (I plan on storing wood pellets in it).

@@kimmayer9007I wish we could start a support group, this mf made it look easy but stupid all at the same time
Great video! Smashed the like button! What size is the rebar you used (length and diameter)? Thanks!
1/2" 2'
Have you had any issues with putting it directly on dirt instead of a foundation?
What size are those latches you used to lock up the storage shed?
What is the size of the smaller shed next to it that looks identical to?
How does the cost of one of these compare to buying some lumber and building the same size shed?
Do you know how much weight can the floor takes ?
How big is the box?
How much clearance do you need to open the doors?
how much does it weight? Can it be carried by one person?
No very heavy
He mentioned 180 pounds
Thank you, sounds like it'll take at least 2 people.
I installed it with my 11 year old son. You could probably do it by yourself as each panel is easy enough to carry for one adult.

If I wanted to paint what would be best to use?
Probably the Rust-Oleum brand spray paint for plastics and resin. I’ve used it for patio chairs and it worked well.
Very good , thank you.
how about if this is waterproof or not? I have the 6 feet by 2.5 feet deep version and there are gaps in the roof... i called suncast they said "water resistant but not water proof"
concerned rain will get into the shed with wind. any thoughts?
Just waterproof caulk the seams, you’ll be fine
my left door is rough when i close it, any tips?
Make it is sitting level.
I need stalemate 7x4 shed from costco
Wanna hang weed whacked and edger holding clips to the walls, think the walls can hold that?
My door latch housings will not snap in on either end. My thumbs are sore😡
Oh my goodness I had the same problem! So frustrating. Would have liked for the video to show just how to get that in.
the back panel does not even snap into the side panel at all wtf the tabs are too big???
👍
You should have been more detailed with the good part of the video, good video overall though
