Definitely weak and not very stable 80mph…. Ehhh I wouldn’t even try, have heard some people in Florida liked it a lot though, not sure where 80mph winds are typical but they seemed to last at least 5 years in Florida without major issues
Dear Keter I have this exact shed, but attaching anything to the walls has been difficult. I tried using the SC15 screws but they don't provide much strength. What is Keter's recommendation for attaching hooks/shelves to the walls? Also, I have a bunch of "dclips" with no instructions.
Hello, our D clips are what we recommend for attaching shelves or other organisers to the shed walls. You can find instructions for how to use D clips here > keter-lifestyle.com/files/file_add/download/1448_dclip_580244-a-1422_print-1.pdf
@@keteruk8879 where can we buy these clips? Nobody seems to carry them, Keters website and shed instructions make no mention of these clips, and the ads for the shed showed shelves screwing directly into the walls and don’t mention the clips needed. I’m fine with them needing clips if we can actually purchase them but nobody has them.
Not the best shed for shelving you need a sturdy wood shed for that! These plastic walls are just sturdy enough not to fold in on themselves in the wind. If you do manage to install any shelving I wouldn’t recommend putting anything on them since even 5lbs of force will start to bend the walls out of the corners damaging them to a point they cannot be reinstalled.
We bought the Keter Cortina 9x7 and it looks very similar but I can't tell if there is any ability to lock the shed? The handle is different than the one above. We haven't opened it yet.
I will be installing the 11x7 this weekend on a concrete base. What size screws and length do you recommend to fully secure the floor to a concrete base? Thank you for your help.
Purchased the 9x7 Cortina. Just in the process of building the floor. We have limited yard space. Video recommends 2 feet space on the back. Can we put this together leaving only a foot space behind. It looks like in the video that the roof supports can be installed from the inside. It also appears like the roof panels go in from the front. We have lots of room on the front and both sides but not the back. Please advise!
You can but keep in mind you will need to stand on each side to put in the base screws that attach to the shed walls as well as anything else you may need to reach from the outside of it. For example when putting up the walls you will get to point where you must be on the outside to clip in the corners to the walls. So as long as you can fit and use a drill it’ll be fine I ended up having just over a foot of extra space on 2/4 of the shed walls
I see the floor does not seem to be fastened to the concrete pad. Should the floor not be screwed into the concrete in order to make it more sturdy during wind storm?
You can make the shed fully secure by fixing the floor to the base through the 8 pilot holes as noted at 1:27 in the video. These pilot holes are marked in the product assembly instructions.
So got one from Costco but the 7x7 model, as I took everything out of the box to organize on the ground near the pad I was gonna set it up on-about 30 minutes later they completely warped from the sun beaming down on them they all went from flat to rounded since my yard isn’t very flat. And when putting screws in if you over tighten it shreds the soft plastic. Super easy to put together compared to metal or wood sheds just remember it’s plastic… not a very durable kind as well. I’d expect the lifespan to be anywhere from 5-10 years without any major issues, beyond that would be surprising tbh. Corners also don’t line up perfectly since they aren’t cut exactly the same slight differences at edges. Leaves a very ugly looking edge and all the wall pieces came PRE-dented so don’t worry about it getting scuffed or banged up during install KETER was kind enough to do that for you😭🤣🤣
Also be careful if setting up yourself, instructions recommended at least 2 people. I tweaked my neck and shoulder just from moving the boxes to my back yard.
I'm unclear what ventilation this shed has, and if it has is it insect/vermin proof? Thanks in advance. Also why does the 7x7 require a 279cm wide base if it is 210cm square? I have an existing concrete slab to use.
The Artisan shed has built in ventilation panels down each side. The heavy duty floor and sloped threshold are designed to deter pests. This video is for the Artisan 9x7 shed which requires a base of 279 x 216cm. For the Artisan 7x7, the base size needed would be 216 x 216cm.
I’m looking at the 9x7 Cortina, what screw would you recommend to hang a bike from as per one of your photos? Are they really that strong you can hang a bike on?
I just bought this shed from Costco. It is going to sit on block paving which is level and newly built. I want to make the shed bottom sit higher to avoid rain water running in. Can I use put plastic shed base (the grid and click together type) with gravel for this? This is just to make it sit higher. Prefer not to use wooden base.
DO NOT RECOMMEND! I am very disappointed ... The shed itself is nice, but during the assembly, which I have done exactly pursuant to the video and the written guide provided by the manufacturer, the ladder (same as in the video) broke into the floor and damaged it. The problem is that the floor is hollow (just two quite thin plastic sheets with plastic ribs between them). If you put the ladder (or anything else heavy) outside the ribs, it breaks through the top sheet. The manufacturer denies any responsibility …
Can I put the door on the other side without any problem? Or can I put the roof sloping down towards the door? I want to install it adjacent right next to my house wall and I don't want rain water flowing towards my wall. Thanks
The double doors can go on the left or right of the shed front. You just need to decide this before adding your final wall panels. The roof does not slope the other way as this is part of the shed design.
i am installing 9ft *7 ft keter shed ,my question is should i must have concrete base or i can use the graveled and sand base which is compacted and labeled ?
Is this base made of concrete blocks rather than a concrete pad? If so, are they on the ground or is there something else under there? Sand? Would concrete blocks shift over time?
Yes they can shift over time but unlike a solid concrete pad you can remove the affected blocks and level the surface below it and replace any affected areas fairly cheap and easy. However when the surface below concrete shifts it leads to cracking of the pad which cannot be as easily fixed and definitely cost more. With that being said, pavers “concrete blocks” cost more to install than a pad typically but that’s because of the added benefits you get as opposed to a concrete pad.
That being said regarding the floor, can this floor be laid over the floor Joyce 12 inches apart without any other subfloor like plywood so the question has to do with rigidity of the floor please advise
Hello, the footprint of the Artisan 9 x 7 shed is W 279cm x D 216cm so this is the size of the base you need. It's up to you if you want to make the base larger than this, some people make the base bigger to display plant pots for instance. We recommend building the shed on a level surface to ensure panels fit together and the shed remains stable.
Hello Keter, On Step 20 of the assembly instructions, I'm finding that the male connector side of the NEPF parts are only half as long as the connectors for the regular wall panels (OLP7) and corner pieces (OLPC). So, when fitting the NEPF part on the right, the connector doesn't go all the way into the groove of the wall panel. What am I supposed to do differently?
It's best if you decide where you want the front of the shed to be before you build the floor. The floor panels go in the direction front to back then it's by adding the wall panels that you can decide where you want the door to be, as seen as 2:14 in the video.
