Lifetime 7' x 7' Outdoor Storage Shed with High-Density Polyethylene, Steel-Reinforced, Desert Sand

I got this shed to store my lawnmower, snowblower, some totes, and a few other tools. It has plenty of room to store these items. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and feel it's a good product. It's sturdy and looks good. I gave it 5 stars but I would give it 4.5 if that was an option. The roof has some minor issues (see below). The shed arrived in two large (very heavy) boxes. Once the delivery driver put them down I realized they were not going to move unless I took the parts out. Assembly was somewhat easy for me but I'm mechanically inclined. I also made sure to follow the YouTube instruction videos. They were very helpful and really supplemented the physical instructions well. Unless you're a pro, you really need a helper. There are just some things that are nearly impossible to do alone. The main issue I had with the shed is the roof panels. It took A LOT of pushing and pulling to get the screw holes to line up. I also didn't like the little plastic brackets they use to connect the roof panels to the front and back walls. The instructions are not great and they seem somewhat flimsy once they're attached. I'm still not 100% sure I installed them correctly. Also, I really don't like how the skylight is attached to the roof as I was unable to get it completely flush. I'm sure some silicone caulk or finding some slightly longer screws may help, but I'm not that worried about leaks. I'd recommend buying this shed if you need something sturdy and don't want to mess with a wood or metal shed. Note: Wood sheds are great but they need maintenance like painting and will rot if ignored. Metal sheds will rust and, in my experience, do not handle wind well.

Great shed! Parts were complete and packaged according to steps, saving me time packaging individual items together as I have had to do with other sheds. Metal braces strenghen already sturdy wall and roof panels against the wind. Tight connection between wall panels and floor keeps debris out. I built on a concrete pad and all parts, including roof panels, went together flawlessly. My only hiccup was with the concrete anchors. The instructions said to drill anchor holes with a 5/16" drill bit when using a 3/8" anchor - I almost broke an anchor! Went to the Tapcon site and found that drill bit should be 3/8" for a 3/8" anchor! Smooth sailing after that! Well worth the money and I highly recommend!

A good shed. I give the instructions a B, some steps were a bit difficult to understand. The instruction is one sentence for each step, and could use more detail on the orientation. Not rocket science but time consuming. Figure close to 5 hours with two people. The floor was very compliant and weak, a disappointment. You will need a very solid foundation. I used 2" deep concrete blocks (over gravel) from Home Depot at 88 cents each, and ended up going back twice to buy more pieces as the floor was sagging badly when stepped on. The base support can only have gaps of about 1&1/2" or the floor will sag. The most difficult step for us was the skylight, which after mounting each roof panel with 14 screws each, the gap in the roof was too wide for the skylight. Its too late at that point to remount the roof panels higher. We got it to fit with much effort. Make sure you mount each roof panel as high as possible. I RECOMMEND ATTACHING THE SKYLIGHT BEFORE THE SCREWS IN THE ROOF PANELS ARE PUT IN. The weak plastic brackets for the roof should have been metal. Don't break them - no spares. There are spare screws. It looks very nice. I thought the walls and roof panels could have been a bit stiffer. By being flexible the shed moves all over the place while building and doesn't become rigid until the last panel is in. If you use a power drill to attach the screws, make sure you set the torque VERY light so it stops driving as soon as the screw seats, or else you'll make a big hole in the plastic if you drive them at all.

So far so good. I was worried about too much heat in the shed in the middle of the day. It gets warm, but not as bad as I thought it might. It's is sturdy and water proof based on a light rain we had after I set it up. It's roomy inside and appears to be quite tough. I had one screw strip out when I put it in and the manufacturer is shipping out 6 over sized screws free that will fix this problem. It took me awhile to get into the groove with the instructions, but once I understood the layout and intentions, things went fast. I took my time in assembly and it took about 8 hours including a drive to the hardware to get 4 lag screws & shields to anchor the shed down on the concrete pad. I had a little trouble getting the roof on by myself because of some warping. I laid the roof pieces up against a fence in the sun before assembly. I suspect that all the plastic parts should be laid flat on the ground until needed for assembly. The roof assembly worked, but it was a little extra hassle and a second person would have made this go a little faster. I used an impact driver with care because I cannot set a maximum torque so I carefully drove in the screws, but not all the way and then finished them up with a hand driver. It is not hard to strip out the screw holes and I am glad I hand tightened them to the point I knew they were tight, but not past the point of stripping them. I had only one strip in the many dozens of screws that were put in and the oversize screw that is on the way should fix this. I thought it was a nice touch for the manufacturer to add a Phillips driver and a drill bit. A brief explanation of how the instructions are laid out would have been nice. I like the idea that the assembly is in stages and the parts you need are wrapped for each stage, but it would have been a little nicer to have additional labeling on some of the parts bags. For example, there is an "ADZ" screw that appears in different bags, but none of the bags is labeled "ADZ" screw on the bag. Not a big deal, but some frosting to think about. This is a one person job and if I had to assemble another shed I could do it in around 4-6 hours on my own and faster with another person. The problem is there are a few critical places where 2 people would make things faster, but I think that most operations go faster with one person. Putting up the roof and the doors are likely best done with two people.

First time building one of these plastic/resin sheds. The 7 X 7 shed is great! Delivery was easy. I set a delivery date and received a delivery window between 9:30am-3pm. The delivery crew called a little after 12p to say they were 15 minutes away. Great service from the delivery company. No damage and they dropped it off at the back of my driveway. 2 large and heavy boxes. Inventoried everything, ready to build. Assembly was straightforward. I watched the assembly video on the Lifetime website several times. I built a pressure treated foundation set on blocks a couple weeks ahead of delivery using the instructions and measurements from the manual available online. Everything was level and square to start. I spent an entire day making sure the blocks were level. 4 at the corners, a block midway on all sides and 2 blocks in the middle where the 2x4's would land (16" on center). 10 blocks total. The blocks are almost flush with the ground. Just high enough to keep the wood out of the dirt. I assembled the entire shed by myself in about 5hrs. A second set of hands for the gables and roof panels would have been nice. The roof panels are the hardest part of the entire assembly. Getting screw holes to line up was difficult with one person, but it went together as it should. All said and done, the doors close nice, everything lines up perfect without using the included shims. Be careful with the clear ridge (skylight). The wind blew mine down on the concrete walkway and cracked it. I'm waiting for Lifetime to get back to me on a replacement. But, be careful assembling this part, I could see it cracking when pushing it under the gable vent if you're too rough with it. 2 corner shelves and a small wall shelf are included. I secured the shed to the platform using 4 galvanized lag bolts w/fender washers in each corner as recommended in the manual. These are not included. Great purchase and easy delivery. Couldn't be happier! EDIT: I contacted Lifetime by phone and explained how the skylight blew over cracked, they shipped a replacement skylight free of charge, including free shipping. Received new skylight in about a week and installed it. Excellent customer service!

The product is solid and we received a good price. However the delivery which was done by CEVA was not great. They left a message to call and arrange delivery for a 300lb package. I called and asked for a specific delivery date so I could arrange assistance with moving the package. The package showed up 4 days early just dropped on my doorstep. When calling the delivery service to ask about the change they said Amazon updated the page to not require a signature which to them meant drop it off anywhere/anytime. My recommendation is to try and require signature if you need the package placed in a specific place.

This is actually the second Lifetime 7×7 shed I’ve owned, and that says a lot. I’ve only had this one for about a month, but just like my first, the build quality is excellent. The panels are sturdy, the doors feel secure, and it looks great in the yard. Assembly does take some time (definitely easier with two people), but once it’s up, it holds up well against the elements. I like the skylight and vents—it doesn’t feel stuffy inside, even in the summer. So far, everything’s staying dry and organized. If you prep a level base and follow the steps, this shed is definitely worth it.

I was not sure about ordering something so large online. But I am very happy that I did! It came in two boxes that were dropped down from the truck in my driveway, making it easy for me to open the boxes and move the items to where I needed them to be. It was well packaged and had great instructions. It does take a lot of maneuvering to get it square to have everything fit the way that it should. It is worth the time to make sure everything fits the way that it is supposed to. Don’t try to force anything and plan a couple hours over what you would think it would take and also have one or two people available to help as needed.. I planned a week to do it, took my time and didn’t force anything and I am very happy with the outcome.

Super Qualität, kein Chinaschrott, kommt aus den USA. Aufbau bestens bebildert beschrieben, alle Teile Waren da. Ich habe das Haus ganz allein in ca. 8 Stunden aufgebaut, in aller Ruhe nach genauem Studium der Aufbauanleitung. Unbedingt empfehlenswert. Eine Investition für etliche Jahrzehnte, so stabil ist das Haus. Da wackelt und klappert nichts.

If you’re looking for a high quality garden shed that is sturdy and waterproof, look no further. This shed is exactly what we were looking for. It’s roomy, solidly built and even has a skylight built into the roof. Highly recommended.

Very good price for the quality. It looks super gorgeous in my backyard. Classy brown and natural colour. Excellent material: strong and sturdy, unlike those metal type that’s so thin and making unpleasant sounds. It comes with a base (unlike some others) so the stuff you store in the shed won’t be on the ground/sand/grass. Very spacious. You do not need anything bigger. Perfect size. If you really need to maximize, buy shelves or those hanging closet organizers.

Caseta muy buena y bonita para almacenaje, lo principal es hacer un buen suelo para montarla en en mi casa hice una buena solera de hormigón y embaldosado y no necesito ningún anclaje solo el peso de los objetos la sujetan perfectamente, el tiempo de montaje unas 7 horas 2 personas siguiendo las instrucciones.

Die vorhandene bzw. erste Rezesion ist Irreführend und nicht relevant. Ware kommt aus China. Produkt nicht hochwertig und sehr labil. Lässt sich eindrücken ohne Problem. Es ist eher Plastik als Kunststoff. Von Stabilität keine Spur. Ich baue nicht weiter zusammen und sende es zurrück. Nach kontakt azfnahme mit Verkäufer schreibt er das, Zitatt: Man sollte ein Lifetime Haus nicht bei den aktuellen Temparaturen montieren, da es Schlichtweg in dem Karton durch die Sonne schnell 45-50 Grad sind. Der Kunststoff wird dadurch weicher und somit ist es schwerer das Haus zu montieren. Hallo bin ich im falschen Film. Wie heiß wird dann im Haus selbst? Ich bleibe dabei. Schlechter Kauf.
