Patiowell 5x3 FT Outdoor Storage Shed, Tool Shed with Sloping Roof and Lockable Door, Metal Shed for Backyard Garden Patio Lawn, Brown

This is a great value for a small shed. It arrived before the anticipated arrival date, and was packaged well. There was a small ding in the box which resulted in a dent on 4 of the corner pieces. Honestly, it’s so minor wasn’t too worried about it. It is NOT the highest quality and the metal material is thin and pretty flimsy. That said, this is a budget shed and still a great value. It assembled easily and there are some videos on you tube although the instructions were well written with very good illustrations. I do have an issue with door closing very tight and I had to flip the latching hasp upside down to accept the bolt (required drilling a small pilot hole for the screw). It was estimated that two people can assemble in 5 hours; I did it myself in less time, in the dark, with a flashlight (would not have been possible in the wind). I’m planning to make some modifications to create an exhaust port, add electrical outlets and use it as a place to keep my generator out of the rain and snow on some rural property. I would definitely buy this again as a smaller budget shed but might not give it a prominent spot if I had a meticulous backyard.

This outdoor storage shed is perfect for my backyard. It’s a good size for storing tools and garden items. The metal feels strong and safe. The sloping roof helps water run off, and the door can lock, which is great for safety. It looks clean and fits well in small spaces. Took some time to build, but it’s worth it. Very useful for outdoor storage!

Pay extremely close attention to instruction booklet. Look where certain holes are, and on what side they are on, same with notches on certain pieces to make sure orientation of piece is correct. By paying very close attention, all holes lined up for us very well. A couple were slightly off, but that's because the base had gotten a little out of square while we were assembling. Use drill on very low setting to reduce chance of stripping screwholes. For roof screws, I went back and replaced all screws that are exposed to rain with self piercing screws #10x1" size with the rubber washers that are designed for metal roof. I used the #10 size because they were very less likely to strip out while tightening down to lightly compress rubber washer. Any size smaller diameter than #10 will most likely strip out while tightening to a watertight seal. You can get by just fine using 3/4" long screws. I only used the 1" because tractor supply was out of the #10x3/4". Make sure the metal base is perfectly square before attaching any sidewalls. If out of square, you won't realize it until you're almost finished screwing one full side of wall together. Once base is square, I recommend screwing or bolting to floor or slab or whatever type of foundation/floor you are using so that it won't come out of square while assembling. We only had very minor dents on some pieces of metal, but nothing that we couldn't push out with thumb or bend back easily with pliers on a multitool. The packages are handled multiple times during shipping, and I'm sure that's why some pieces had dents and bends. I don't blame the manufacturer for that. The 2 or 3 hours that the book says will take to put shed together might be true for people that do it for a living and know the order of parts by memory and have a rhythm down for install, but for us it took around 12 hours to take our time and make sure everything was correct so we wouldn't have to go back and redo anything later. That time includes the unboxing time and laying all of the pieces out with all same numbered parts together to make finding the parts quicker and easier. We sealed the outside of the base that makes contact with the floor with 100% silicone and used screws through base to floor every 1 foot on the outside. Also sealed corners of base with silicone and all 4 sides of each air vent on the inside of the shed. After sealing and replacing all roof screws with the #10x1" self piercing screws with rubber washer, we have had zero leaks. There was a small gap in between the 2 doors, but with some hinge adjustment and some very small bending of door frame piece, the gap is closed. The plastic that comes on each piece of metal is not worth the time to try to remove. We left the plastic on and you can't really even tell that there's a layer of plastic on the outside. Looks very good. Enjoyed putting this shed together and for the money, I think it's worth it. I did have a helper, one is definitely needed for a shed of this size (8x10). 4 start rating is only because of the small diameter screws for the roof. The nylon/plastic washers for the screws that came in the bag don't seal well due to the fact that if you slightly over tighten the screws, they will strip the metal and then have no compression to seal hole. Screws that are a bigger diameter would work much better to come from the factory in the box. They do fine for the sidewalls, but need bigger diameter with rubber washer for roof.

I do NOT recommend this shed. Yes- it was cheaper than an actual, good quality shed. So, you do indeed, “get what you paid for”. Ah, my first mistake. First, it came with a plastic coating all over it. Perfect- protecting the metal! No. It was a nightmare to peel off and you cut your fingers while doing so because of the thin metal. They kindly provide you with gloves to wear, except you can’t wear them while peeling it off so the little shed knives slice your fingers. It’s great that the coating is there because it protects the metal from your blood stains. Once the plastic is off, the paint on the metal scratches off so easily that you were better off keeping the peeling mess on. The instructions were dreadful. They were vague and askew and left you wondering which direction the parts go because the image didn’t coincide with the minimal word guidance. The metal was ridiculously flimsy that I worry a good gust of wind will take this thing away. The ONLY reason I am not returning this is because I don’t feel like going through the hassle of lugging this thing somewhere to be returned. And I really just need it to store simple, smaller yard items (thank the Lord). It certainly won’t stop thieves from getting inside of it, but it’s light enough that they could probably just steal the entire shed. So, maybe I’ll get lucky and they’ll take it away for me. As you can guess from this review, I hate this thing, hate the process it took to put it together, and highly recommend saving your money to put it towards something more expensive, yet better quality.
