          A:  With my wife helping, the uncrate/disassemble took about one hour. However, do not think you can complete the assembly in one day by yourself as the advertising claims. Highly recommend a helper and put aside at least a couple of weekends.

            A:  Too long in my case, about 2.5 hours. Mainly because lots of the screws holding things together were stripped, broken or rusted and were basically a pain. Otherwise I'd imagine a little over an hour to take the shipping crate apart with two pairs of hands.

            A:  I built it my self with a friend, about a day and a half due to winter weather, I really do not know what a contractor would charge, this is mostly a DIYS project, well thought out.

              A:  Hi Casey - Unfortunately Home Depot does not offer assembly on Backyard Discovery sheds. However, Go Configure is a third party vendor that offers nationwide installation solutions on many products including wooden swing sets. They can be reached at (888) 888-5424. Thanks.

                A:  Shed comes primed and if it is not painted in 30 days you void the warranty.

                  A:  The panels are primed the trim is not. You do have to paint it the color of your choice, it paints easily though.

                    A:  Painting yourself is a must. All of the trim pieces are raw wood and wouldn't last long under wet conditions. I went a step further and caulked all of the trim pieces because I knew they wouldn't last in the wet conditions were I live.

                      A:  Hi Joan, You are correct, the height of this Ready Shed is approximately 98.5 inches. Thank you for pointing this out, we will correct this listing immediately. As for alternative options, unfortunately Backyard Discovery does not offer any Ready Shed options under the height of 93 inches. The Ready Shed was designed to be easy to assemble and maximize storage at the same time. Please let us know if you have additional questions, thank you!

                          A:  Unfortunately this item can not be shipped to the store. This product is available for ship to home order fulfillment only.

                          by|May 5, 2023

                          A:  My store said no it is shipped to the buyer. The pallet weighs 2200 pounds and is about 8' high. It comes with unpacking instructions that should be followed for safety,, panels are heavy but manageable by one person, 2 would be easier. You can download all of the instructions from the web site to review prior to receiving it.
