TOP Shed 6 x 4 - Anthracite

The 2 men who put the metal shed together for me on a freezing cold windy day both stated it was the smoothest & easiest shed they've put up to date, liked the fact both doors had runner wheels & the instructions where easy to follow too. Looks great with the wood effect very nice my neighbour thought it was a wooden shed at first. Ha ha & my granddaughter has now evicted me & is squatting she has turned it into her own personal playhouse although I have bought it to keep my mobility scooter dry & safe & for other garden items that needed the storage space.The only issue which will need to be sorted asap is the build up of water on inside on the roof lots of condensation inside the shed water & electric scooters don't mix well, have been advised to use cans of expanding foam around the internal edges at the top which also to put insulation on the internal walls not really fire retardant which could potentially be an issue with insurance company if there's a fire. Apart from the condensation. Great looking wood effect metal shed. Definatley good value for money compared to the many other companies price definatley better all in all its good solid long-term storage investment glad I got it my granddaughter really loves it too.

Having spent weeks researching which shed would best suit my needs, it became apparent that the majority of retailers sell one of two makes of shed - both of which had significant flaws identified by buyers. On discovering an alternative - the Duramax brand - the reviews were much more favourable. Coupled with the immediate availability and excellent service of Amazon, I decided to give it a go. What a pleasant surprise awaited!The shed was delivered within a couple of days, rather than the many weeks you'd expect from other sellers. So far, so good!On unboxing, the components were well packaged. The instruction booklet was clearly illustrated and highly comprehensive. Each component in the box was numbered for ease of identification. Even the instructions for constructing a base were highly detailed!Although most of the job of putting it together could be done by one person, there were certain aspects that definitely needed two people, so make sure you've got someone to give you a hand.Once built (a job that took a couple of days), it looked fantastic! I'm very, very happy with the quality, price and ease of build, and although it's not yet been tested for its weatherproofing, there's no obvious reason to doubt it.I am a genuinely satisfied customer!

I've got myself a waterproof shed (eventually) that is a real bargain. Follow the instructions closely. Try to do it on a day with no wind of you are alone. Gloves help because there are some sharp edges. There's nothing heavy in any part of the shed.Use a cordless drill/screwdriver, even a really cheapo one will be good enough. Have the torque setting (number on the dial) set low, everybody's tool will be different there, so that the screws bite but don't just spin because this will effect the waterproofing later. Magnetise the bit or buy magnetised tips or bit holders. A magnetiser/demagnetiser is a great item to buy and only costs a few pounds.Make sure every screw or bolt that is on the outside has one of the little fiddly washers. When screwing 2 panels together and the instructions aren't particularly clear always make sure the bigger hole is the one the screw goes through first.Get the ground as level as possible so the doors work properly and look neat. They are generous with the screws, nuts/bolts, washers, end caps etc so not like Ikea here. :)The instructions aren't quite as clear as Ikea BUT backtracking after a mistake/misread is not too hard. Every item is marked, some with a sticker and some are stamped. If you have the space then it saves a lot of time sorting the pieces out by item code. The sticker isn't an indication of which way up you use the panel. I made the mistake of thinking if the writing is the right way up then that's the way to install the item.My build is waterproof the doors close perfectly. I had to slightly bend back some of the edge trim that sits just outside the door, I think I caught these with screwheads or something. It looks extremely smart and is a nice wide doorway, the doors slide very smoothly. The holes for your lock are 1cm circles and they are 9cm apart. I haven't sorted out a lock yet. The only tools I used was my cordless drill with the screwdriver bit, 1 screwdriver a 7mm socket (easier than a spanner) 1 small hammer to tap the point protectors that stop you shredding your hands on the exposed screw tips once the build is complete. I wore gloves for some parts but I'm not good with tiny screws, nuts and bolts with gloves on. The nuts are really fiddly. If you put 2 nuts in the socket and gently spin it then the bolt will easily pick up the nut so you can tighten it, you'll see what I mean with a bit of practice.One huge problem was that the top joint on the roof is only protected by a thin roll of tape. There is a trim above BUT it is so high above that you can easily put your hand between. This is not good enough an that's why I knocked a star off. Luckily I ha a tin or roof repair tar for a different job I need to do on my house. I tarred over the tape with a brush and got a strong waterproof seal that will last for years and years. If you buy that same tin then make sure you mix it really well as the lovely smelling resin floats to the top. ALSO wear gloves and clothes you don't mind getting manky because it's a messy job.Give yourself a day to do it, get another person too. I'd have struggled on my own. The roof is near impossible alone AND I had to go off plan there. I couldn't do it in the order they give. My work platform and ladder were good BUT I'd have had to lean over a crazy amount to do it their way.I also bought a bike shed from the same company and they look great together.

This shed is spacious and sturdy. I think it offers good value vs a wooden shed (no maintenance, reroofing, painting etc)Installation is fiddly and took 2 people 8 hours to complete.Make sure you follow the instructions step by step, lay out every single item so you know what you have and can easily locate the next part.Use a magnetic drill bit

Great build instructions, just take your time and ask someone for help. Very pleased.

During construction following the instructions is imperative, but after instructions the shed leaks where the mis alignment of screws and sheets have prevented the numerous plastic washers from performing there job to create a water barrier. The worst aspect is the doors, they offer no security and are as secure as I pair of curtains…. I would not recommend and not buy again.

Stoker une tondeusemais... Si pour le montage pas de problème, les problèmes arrivent quand il pleut, la plate-forme est trop grande pour le chalet, quand il pleut l'eau qui tombe du toit s'infiltre dans le chalet, ou plutôt inonde le bois, les portes bien que fermées l'une contre l'autre laisse passer la pluie, obligation de mettre une corniere comme couvre joint ansi qu'un revêtement autour du chalet pour récolté l'eau, n'est pas constructeur qui veut,..

Me ha sorprendido la exactitud de todas las piezas, tornilleria e instrucciones. Solo tengo una gotera que habrá sido por última pieza que haya descolocado. El resultado es bastante sólido. Recomendable.

Nous voulions du métal pour éviter l'entretien du bois mais qui ne jure pas dans le jardin. Cet abri est un très bon compromis. A deux sans grande expérience en bricolage, tranquillement nous avons mis une journée et demi. Aucune pièce manquante et des vices en plus (non nous n'avons pas raté d'étape). Des caches vices ou protection fournis aussi. Attention en retirant le plastique aux coupures. Très satisfaite de cet abri et des instructions de montage.

Puntuali, istruzioni di montaggio comprensibli, solida più del previsto. La ricomprerei

Bei genauer! Beachtung der Anleitung passt alles. Mindestens zwei Personen sind für den Aufbau notwendig. Untergrund muss plan sein.
