Polar Aurora 9.3x13.5 FT Qutdoor Storage Shed, Metal Garden Shed with Updated Frame Structure, ToolSheds for Backyard Garden Patio Lawn, White

Okay, for the price, it is exactly what you would expect. This shed is made from VERY thin steel. But once it is all put together, it is very sturdy. PSA.. every single piece is wrapped for paint protection. Plan to peel every single piece before installation. The instruction manual is very thorough.DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE DID. If you have any wind in your area, fasten this puppy immediately and plan to have this built in a day. It will take you an entire day, and it is not a one person job. We live just north of Spokane, WA and it almost blew away several times the two weeks we took to put this together ( We have an infant, so time is not on our side.) Because of this, we suffered bent supports and the side buckled a bit. But we were able to fortify it and bolt the shed into our concrete pad without issue.I will update on sturdiness once we get snow this winter. We have a lot stored in here, so I am hoping it holds up! Functions exactly as a shed should, bonus is that we can use magnets because its steel!

I changed my rating from 3 to 1. The lock doesn't work. This thing leaks like a sieve. Not sure what I'm going to do but I can't store things like Christmas decoration in there with water coming in. Flimsy don't push too hard anywhere or you'll have a dent. Every single piece of this is covered in a plastic film that is very difficult to remove. I left it on, another layer of protection cause I didn't want to spend hours in my garage trying to remove the plasticDO YOURSELF A FAVOR LOOK FOR ANOTHER SOLUTION.- Platform is a must. Do not build this directly on the ground. It's too flimsy for that. I constructed a base out of 4x4s, 2x4s, and plywood, and I highly recommend doing the same.- It ships in two heavy boxes, over 130 lbs. each. You'll need at least one other person to help move them.- Work in the early morning if possible. By mid-day, the metal gets so hot it’s almost impossible to handle. I could only work from around 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.- Tools: Ditch the included wrench—it's useless. You’ll need a solid screw gun, a good pair of pliers (especially for straightening bent edges), and other basic tools.- The instructions are terrible. Tiny print, unclear images, and poor part identification. Patience required.- Inventory issues: I was shorted at least 30 screws and nuts. Had to run to Lowe’s to finish the job. They’re odd sizes too, so bring one with you to match it.I managed to build most of it myself, but honestly — having help would make a world of differenceOn the pro side I'm sure it'll do the job, and it has a good price even if I had to run to Lowes. Good luck.

Everything you’d want it to be for the price. I just had to custom modify the door to be wider for my lawnmower, and the door height is a little low, but other than that it stores stuff just fine. Just make sure to concrete screw it to the ground and waterproof tape the center ridge on the roof.

I'm happy with this shed and how it turned out. I built it by my self and didn't have any what did I get myself into moments. All the holes lined up for the screws and bolts. It took me about 2 and a half hours and all the walls were up with no cussing and again just myself. For the total time of build I would say two days and that is taking my time and not rushing it. Now some things I did to make it go a little easier. I prebuilt the roof beams and top bars for the walls and had them setting ready to be used. My Dewalt drill I set the clutch to 3 and use a magnetized bit. Use an ice pick to hold one side of the roof beam in place while you put a bold and nut on the other side then just finish bolting it together. Now a couple of things that I thought that they fell short on is the roof build. As the roof panels come to the peak there is a gap which they have a top peak plate that goes over to keep the rain out. Here in Florida we get sidewise rain not just straight down so I used a metal water proof tape along with a roofing caulk. I caulked all the roof panel seems as I installed them. Also they gave me just enough bolts/nuts no extras and the screws I had about 20 left over so maybe they could give a few extra. Over all for a metal shed it feels solid and for the price I'm happy.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is a cheap shed for the price it’s ok problems is instructions are horrible any wording is so small second problem I had with is the support system verse are old system like corner or center support for the side walls of the shed there are none so it’s flimsy trying to put it together the roof better throw small 80 lb person to do the screw for the top rooftop shield I also suggest buy roof screw for a pole barn to avoid leaks screw there were not enough same gos for the nuts n screws I was out half way throw the project filling the instructions using them where need so I had to go to hardware store to purchase other it’s a shed get what u pay for and hope it don’t crush down from wind or snow it’s not rated for what they say

Instructions are really good. Easy to assemble (we placed it on cement pad). Holes were easy to align. The size is 10x14 excellent for machinery. Very good quality. Looks good . Highly recommend.

We use this as a small barn for our mom and baby goats. Set up wasn't terrible although if there's even a slight breeze while putting up the initial panels, it's going to require people or 2x4s to hold them from bending. My biggest complaint is the size discrepancy. It's supposed to be 10x14. After measuring, it's barely 9'x13'. Not a huge difference for our purposes but one that should not be there. We also installed 2x4s around the inside middle to reenforce the walls because they would not be very sturdy and there's no braces provided.

Hubby built this shed for my parents backyard and it turned out amazing. Rain doesn’t go through. Sturdiness is perfect. Assembly was at ease One day of work. Holes alignment takes patience and focus. Functions as it describes.
