Majestic 8 ft. x 12 ft. Wood Storage Shed

Love this shed!!! I think I made it so charming. So easy for my dad, brother in law and my man to put up in a few hours. I did hire someone to lay the cement slab, which I highly recommend doing and add roof! Per my subdivision it had to have a roof with matching shingles. I added the following: cement slab, windows (which fit perfectly between the 2x4s), window box, shutters (which my 85 year old father made for me), roof, paint, decor and the nice piece of wood right above transoms which we didn't bring all the way around for some reason. Only ISSUE was the metal side pieces came dented. Asked for new ones and they also came dented. My man is planning on replacing those with wood one of these days. For the cost this is a nice shed. In winter it is packed full with all my outdoor items and gets really full so if you think this is too small or you need a bigger one just do it!

Awesome project . Love this shed . A lady’s work space . Just buy it, you won’t regret. Thank you handy home !!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this product because the size and the price were right for me. The kit has literally every piece of wood you need even spacers that help with the construction. I customized my shed by removing the windows and making my doors larger to accommodate my side by side vehicle. I also added a few trim pieces to the back side of the shed to cover some of the nail holes. The only draw back was I was working alone and some of the boards were warped making me miss nail

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this shed to replace our small 8x8 shed that was falling apart, and it is 100% better than the old one. Some of the wood wasn't the best, but it is still a solid kit. I was still able to relocate the door to better suit my site as well. The interior work shelf and loft area adds a ton of space to a useful shed.

This was a good kit. I put it together with my friend. The boards were good quality. It sure worth the money.

There are extra pieces that are not in the part list. There is some pieces missing from the parts list. Some wood that should not have been primed was, and wood that should was not(specically the gable and soffit trim). Some wood had black mold on it. A few main pieces of wood was tweak, not usable. Information about that addional parts should have been stated right off the bat like you have with the floors, caulk, roof, and paint. Nails alone for the treated wood to "START" the shed project. Nothing like being ready to have the extra supplies needed, only to find out in the manual you need more to stop what you are doing to go back to home depot. Overall, i had to buy extra wood(to replace the tweak wood), extra nails(the qaulity of the nails were more than weak, bending as you hammer straight in), extra screws(the quality you give were weak, either bend or head gets stripped out easily), more caulking(three does not do it, im at six to properly seal), additional wood(to cover the seam where the two side panels meet on the back wall, you do not supply one for that, having all those nails exposed, no different than the side walls; front wall seam above the window same difference), and more stress on trying to put together their shed. Did you know are missing key steps in you manual to build this shed? Well, if you someone wanted to do their, you know the shed i bought that in turn goes to your paycheck, maybe i would have different tune. Thanks for a job well done on being part of lazy america! Rather difficult to get a refund with it being such a heavy load and the fact i started building. Want to put that in perspective for you.

We were running out of garage space and decided to double the size of our shed along with overhead storage. The package was well wrapped with no damage. There were 2 pieces of trim missing. A call to the company and the pieces were at our door in 2 days. Instead of paying to have professionals install, we payed and built it with our son who did most of the work. He is very meticulous with the build making sure every detail was perfect. It took us 2 - 3 day weekends to complete with 1/2 day of rain. I wasn't in a hurry, so it was fine with me. The instructions were easy to follow step by step. We did purchase additional wood to re-enforce the floor and thicker than recommended flooring board. I like that it has a lock on the handle and we placed a key box on the shed so we don't have to run into the house when we need something from the shed. So far, I haven't found anything that I dislike about the it.

Overall great value for the shed. With lumber prices super high right now, the value is great. Most other sheds don’t come with the workbench or the loft so that was a great addition. Definitely need two people to build this and a nail gun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this because it was nice looking and just enough space for the price. Pulling it out of the packaging we noticed the boards were warped, not having a way to take it back we hoped it would be ok. NOPE!! I instruction pamphlet was not readable, the lengths of the boards were not right according to what we could read. We got nails and screws in the kit.. the nails did not hold and the screws bent or broke. I had people that build houses and barns, they were very upset that I spent that much money on garbage.

Easily adaptable to my needs. First off, I would not have attempted this build had the kit been of lesser quality, assessed by the many reviews that I had read prior to my purchase. The reviews were very helpful in making my decision. Necessity dictated my building this storage shed in the dead of winter here in Alaska. It was March when I received my palleted kit along with the materials that I ordered for the base assembly. The entire build took place in 12 to 28 degree temperatures. Luckily I have a garage where I was able to lay the kit out to identify everything in the kit before I began. This made it easier to pull the materials in the order that the step by step instructions called for. That being said, my particular needs for storage were easily adapted to this build. This is a great basic shed design that allowed my deviations to seamlessly blend into the assembly. As the ground is frozen, I decided to go with concrete blocks with adjustable supports beneath the 4"x4" foundation. As the ground freezes and thaws I will be able to level the building as needed. I used treated 23/32" plywood flooring on top of the frame supplied in the kit. However, I added extra 2"x4 's bringing the 24" stringer separation to 16". The instructions call for framing the walls and installing the siding prior to lifting the walls into position. I am 66 years of age in good health but only 3 months out from a total knee replacement. Working alone, I would not be able to preassemble the walls. I also deviated from the design in the build of the back wall. As my needs would require shelves with a weight capacity much higher than the 250 pounds (spread out) of the supplied shelving, I used 5 2"x4"'s to frame the back wall rather than piece together the parts to support the supplied shelf. Admittedly, framing in the walls and then installing the siding requires a bit more attention to square everything up but it was a necessary evil when working alone. I installed the doors in the same manor as the siding, one side at a time. Again, it requires a bit more patience to get them squared up and installed correctly. Roofing was difficult as the roof is steep, which is a good thing. The roof panels are a bit bouncy at the top edges and unsupported seams when trying to drive the roofing nails. I stopped and took the time to add lengths of board between the rafters to support these areas. This made driving the nails much easier. These would be easier to install prior to adding the roofing panels. I also found that cutting the heavy gauge shingles with a sheet rock or shingle blade was nearly impossible. One cut and the blade was dull. I found that using my sheet metal side sheers worked marvelously. In all, it took me 21 days start to finish and that was due to 3 snowstorms, many days with single digit temps and/or high winds, and 5 babysitting granddaughter days included. As I said before, had this kit not been so complete and so well thought out, I would not have attempted this build. I would recommend it to anyone in need of a good quality storage building.
