Customer Reviews for Arrow 10 ft. x 8 ft. Ironwood Steel Hybrid Shed Kit Galvanized in Anthracite

I purchased this shed as a lower cost alternative to a typical wood framed shed kit. I was attracted to the hybrid design because of the flexibility to finish my T1-11 panels to my liking and simply slide them in place. The door and interior height of the 10 x 8 is very comfortable even with a hanging shop light that I installed. I am 5’9” tall. The shed comes in many pieces and it takes a lot of effort to carefully read through each step, observing the images carefully. Due to the thinness of the siding, my panels began to cup/bend slightly. This is particularly evident at the overlapping joints between the panels (I did the horizontal orientation). To overcome, I will attempt to fasten the panels to some scrap boards from the inside of the shed. Overall, very pleased. If you are patient and like the aesthetic, the. Go for it. Most of the negative reviews (and there are a lot) are related to assembly. You can do it!

Let me tell you about Chinese made garbage products…they are straight trash. First off the metal is extremely too thin and bends, twists and will leave you frustrated beyond words when just touching it causes damage. Now imagine a gust of wind. Yeah. The shed won’t withstand any minor wind. I used to be a carpenter and so I’m used to reading instructions and plans but these instructions are more complicated then needed. It has screws that are too short and paneling that could not be thinner.

the basic instructions were hard to interpret at a few points .but in all I`m pleased ..I installed entire shed alone over a sunny weekend.

Shed cost over $600 and no walls or flooring included.

Not everything lines up and you will need enough space around the outside for a step ladder. The roof does not support hardly any weight without bending. Definitely takes at least 2 people to assemble.

This is the worst shed ever, the frame is so unstable and bends very easily. So unhappy with this purchase

It was difficult to assemble and then I had to buy wall panels since it was only a frame which cost me a pretty penny and was way more than I had planned to spend.

This is only the frame and roof, which I knew when purchasing. However, I was not expecting a metal frame to be so flimsy and weak. What's more, the assembly is difficult and many of the holes do not line up, making it necessary to drill new holes in order to achieve the end result. If I could do it over, I would just build a shed from scratch.

Overall good choice for a need of quick storage needs. Instructions on pg 22-23 are a little misleading on the amount of hardware, both pages refer to same step but if not pre reading before hands on begins you will be assembling and disassembling.

When purchasing the shed no where does it say to buy panels to complete the walls

The storage is not complete, you New to buy the Woods separately, and that will increase the final price, plus the time assembled, I rather buy one with all parts included

The shed kit comes only with the roof, door and frame, the walls you have to buy separately. I purchase the wood for the walls as well as the stain required to protect them, roughly $400 plus extra after the original cost of the shed kit. The pre-drilled holes were as much as 3 inches off in the frame, be prepared to drill your own. I had roughly 40 plus holes that required re-drilling throughout the build. It is nice once it is finished, but I would never buy another hybrid kit again.

Had no clue this shed came with no wall could've bought a complete shed for that price

Wasn’t aware there were no walls. Extremely disappointed in this.

No. Floor or siding

Everything hardly didn't line up

Support pillars are to flexible. Any wind while assembling is very difficult to deal with. Needs more structurely sound doors.

Like a large erector set but missing every other page. No detail pictures holes don’t line up. Should have bought the kit that uses wood Was cheaper
