U-MAX 6 x 4FT Outdoor Storage Shed, Lockable Bike Shed,Garden Shed &Tool Shed for Backyard, Patio, Lawn

I bought this shed for a couple large bicycles and some garden tools that I needed to get out of my garage. This shed is exactly what I expected based on its price and other reviews I read. It’s not perfect. The instructions are terrible. That said, I am giving this an overall 4.5 star review. Once it all comes together it really is a great purchase. It is fairly sturdy and looks nice. It was delivered far sooner than expected and packaged nicely. It came with some minor dents and scratches. But nothing to dwell on. The biggest problem I found with this shed is the instructions for putting it together. They are very vague and leave you guessing. The side panel instruction page basically say “finish installing sides.” There are no pilot holes or instruction where to place screws. Umm what? If you are not handy have someone else help you that is. I put this together by myself and it took me about 6-7 hours. I’m handy. I would by again but hope they figure out the instructions. Should be a quick fix.

The design and value is very good. As expected it took 4 to 8 hoiurs to assemble, with adequate instructions. The instructions are mostly pictorial, and in most cases only one way that the parts can be assembled. Some of the panels were bent, even though the packaging seemed to be well designed. We were able to easily restore the panel shape by hand and using pliers. Only other issue was that small number of screw holes were too small or a little larger than needed. This made some screws very hard to insert, or were somewhat loose. Overall this seems to be a good product at a good price.

This shed is perfect for what I needed. There are a ton of pieces but everything was labeled as it should be. Only one part in the diagram was labeled wrong, but if you looked at the pieces you needed for the section you were on, it was easy to figure out. Everything lined up for mine. I read reviews saying things didn’t line up and they had to drill new holes, but mine was just right. There were about five nuts and bolts that didn’t work that I still need to connect the sides in the middle but that’s an easy trip to Lowe’s. It does seem flimsy, so I’ll see how the first storm goes. A ton of reviews said it took eight hours but it only took us about five and a half. We didn’t tear off the plastic from a lot of it bc it seemed so time consuming and it’s not super hard to do now that it’s together. I ordered a shed from Amazon back in the winter and never received it. I finally got my refund and then ordered this one which is bigger than the other one I ordered. I’m glad my other shed never made it because I really like this one.

This shed, for it's price, seems like a good deal. Unfortunately, the material quality is lower than you would hope. The panels are also paper thin, and difficult to work with, especially the siding panels and the roof skirt.On top of those quality issues, the included instructions, if followed, will lead to a series of unfortunate failures. From the start, the base of the shed is the first thing built, than the four corner side panels are installed with no support. The corner pieces barely cover the corners which means when one panel is done and the next is being worked on, that first panel you just installed will fall over and lose the guides for a portion of the screws holding it in place entirely. If you build this, remember to prop each side up with a garbage can or similarly large object while the other panels are installed. Once supports and the remaining side panels are installdd this part if at least stable.The roof is where the majority of issues become abundantly clear: each roof panel has only one screw holding it to the actual structure, meaning a strong wind or slightly wrong movement during placement will cause panels to be rendered entirely unattached to the shed. The instructions call for 70 screws to be placed into the roofing panels, but there are.no guides for these screws to enter, they seem placed to pose threats to tall people trying to stand inside the shed and little more than that. The roofing panels also do not align together as they appear to in promo images or the instructions; because of the screw guide hole placements the middle panel on each side of the shed only lines up with one of the two panels it is being installed with, leaving one roof panel on each side of the shed essentially unattached to anything other than the one screw holding it in place.The icing on the cake is that the skirt meant to secure the roof and hold the panels in place. This skirt is made of 7 flimsy aluminum bars, and two plastic bits. When building the shed I received, this skirt couldn't be completed as three of the paper thin aluminum bars snapped under their own weight while they were being positions to attach to the skirt.Unfortunately, the seller seems aware of many of these defects (in one response email to our initial complaint one of their sales reps responded saying that it sounded like we were dealing with 'the roof issue') but claim that since these issues arise while the product is being assembled according to the included directions and aren't received already broken they are unable to help in any way other than to allow us to buy more flimay parts that will fail.I would recommend against purchasing this shed, as similar quality sheds can be found for nearly $2-300 less. Even if those fail, the saved money would at least mean you could potentially try again with a different shed and still have ended up spending less money than if you'd purchased this one.

Assembly was straight forward and time consuming. But that not unusual for something like this but my wife and I handled it fine. Lots of little sheet metal screws for me and my 62 year battered hands! Everything was well labeled in both instructions and on the pieces or bags. The color was a little different from what I saw in the picture as I was expecting a more beige and this was a bit darker taupe. No problem except our development nixes sheds and I wanted to hide this behind our garage indiscreetly. Still a solid shed and looks good too. Note: to fit our lawn mower in that was one of the prime uses of this, the handle top on mine has to be loosen and bent down in half to store it conveniently. Not a biggie, but it doesn't just easily swing into it like I planned. My error, not the shed's!!
