No words to assemble - only pictures
Ok, so there are a few things that I didn't know when putting this together.One - make sure to separate everything to make sure you have what you need. The different screws were difficult to figure out which ones where the "long" screws. This could be eliminated if they simply separated them and gave them a part number like they do the rods.Two - look through the entire instructions prior to starting as there are a couple of things they have you put together and then move around it or take it apart to do the next step.Three - I got cheaper and easier to use anchors. The ones that come with it are more difficult to use. I went to Ocean State job lots in the pet section and got 4 anchors that screw much easier into the ground. I utilized these with ratchet straps that I attached to the side rails and it keeps the structure from moving at all.I did have some burs inside of the rods that are supposed to fit together so make sure you have a small file that fits onto your hand drill just in case you have to file them down like I did.DO NOT tighten all of the screws. Little tip - put clear nail polish on them prior to screwing them in and once it dries, it'll hold them in place without having to tighten too much. Tightening them too much will crush the rods and if you ever need to take it apart, you'll never be able to put it back together. To take it apart if using the nail polish, take a heat gun or hair dryer to it and loosen it up.One thing I was also told by my neighbor was to get a light colored tarp to place over the shelter. The reason for that is to keep it cooler and to protect it. The sun is generally what diminishes the material so if you put a tarp over it to begin with, there won't be sun damage that will eventually make the material thin which will get destroyed by the wind. This is a good pro-active choice to keep the integrity of the shelter for a long time to come.This size fit my Harley very nicely and has kept her nice and dry.

Love it even in snowy/windy Upstate NY
We live in Upstate NY in a place that gets heavy Spring snow and high winter winds off the lake. We didn’t have the funds for a garage although that’s in our plan. We looked into sheds and building our own but that was costly and we weren’t sure on if we wanted the permanency. Then we found this shed.We couldn’t love it more. It’s perfect for us. I read through the reviews and someone mentioned the best way to support it in the wind is to build a deck to secure it to. We decided to do that and I added supports inside for the roof to protect from the weight of the snow. We also put it on the side of the house that is protected from the wind just in case. We’ve made it through our first winter and while I did clear the snow off three or four times all winter, I didn’t do it religiously or regularly.It was raining off and on when the box came but I still managed to put nearly the whole thing together on my own including all the pipes, standing things up and connecting them. . . In the rain. We needed it to get done ASAP bc the snow was coming. My wife helped me square it, add the cover, tighten it and secure it to the deck.The instructions were very easy to follow and everything was labeled clearly. Literally one just makes several of the same type of section and then connects them together. I think I could redo it without instructions right now and it’s been over six months since I put it together.It’s the perfect size for us. We went with the dome to allow for less chance of snow build up.I have included photos of part of the deck we built, the 2x4 interior supports, and what we used to connect it - just a few eye bolts from the hardware store.I would absolutely recommend this shed even in snowy, windy areas as long as you secure it well.

Great for the Money - 1 Flaw
My son and I just installed this weekend. Overall it looks great. It wedges perfectly between my house and fence so it will not catch a lot of wind or sun in my scenario. The directions were spot on and everything was labeled perfectly. No issues with the instructions or parts. It comes with 4 pretty substantial auger anchors. Overkill for my setup since it is protected. I used one and picked up 3 yard anchor stakes at the box store. My only issue with the design is that you have wrap the tarp over 4 bolts… 2 on each end and then fasten the tarp. When we ratcheted the tarp, it was punctured on the inside where the bolts are located. Time will tell if it’s a big deal. It’s on the inside and is also covered by the top tarp. Some caps there would have helped.
