Suncast Outdoor Storage Shed for Backyard and Garden, Horizontal, 4' x 2.5', Stoney Grey - Portable Utility Deck and Cabinet for Tools, Equipment, and Garbage

I've been looking for a small shed to store trash cans outside, as otherwise they will get water stuck in them which is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other bugs. Purchased this when on sale, and came in a small 'flat-pack' box. Though it stated that two people were required to put it together, I was able to put it together alone without much trouble. Just have the screws & a mallet handy closeby (if needed). If using a mallet, put a block of wood or something else against the shed so you're not directly hitting it - For the sides I was able to just pull into place with my hands.Note that they do state in instructions that you will get extra hardware - I think I got about 8 extra screws. so don't be wary if you have extra.The beauty of the design on this is that most of the pieces 'click' into the base and other pieces, so the screws are only needed in the back middle, and the hinges, as well as the top metal bar and lock. With a drill on 1-2 slip, it made quick work of everything. There's no designated spots to install screws for the top metal bar, but if you look at the 'roof' there are spots it should line up with, so just take note when installing the support brace.The pieces are clearly labeled, and the instructions are clear as to what to do.Perhaps the biggest tip I can say is that make sure you have a level surface. I set this up on a concrete pad, and it wasn't 100% flat, which causes the doors not to close properly. I ended up (not seen in the pictures) shimming the right side, which brings it up slightly and is now perfectly aligned. Suncast states that they will not warranty the shed if it was installed improperly - so just take note of that.So far, its been great at keeping out the water and all of my trash cans fit inside (inside of each other).The only downside I could see is that you do need to open the top lid before opening the doors - Not a deal-breaker and I saw this in other reviews and instructions before purchasing, but just to note in case that makes a difference for you.There's no lock provided, but has an 'insert' into the right door to use one if you would like. Since this is plastic, I wouldn't put anything too valuable in it, as even with a lock I'm sure you could get into it if you wanted to. For me, it fits everything I needed it to do so it gets a 5/5.

Overall this is a really great small shed almost worthy of 5 stars.Pros: First it was very easy to put together. You mostly snap it together with some screws to hold in place. Easily done by one person. It is somewhat light weight so if you don't have anything heavy in it, you will want to anchor it down. The build seems solid. I can easily store a push mower and a little extra in it.Cons: I didn't like the packaging. The box is very large, which is understandable, however there is a lot of extra space in the box for important components to move around during shipping, such as the walls that arrived slightly warped. They need to use some kind of filler so the components don't move. Due to the warping, the walls don't connect flush with the other panels which creates a small gap where if rain hit the sides near the door hinges just right, some rain water will get through and your stuff wet. There was also a small crack, not significant by the lock latch that I can easily cover that shouldn't damage the integrity of the shed. The lower latch to keep the doors closed doesn't really work. Doors still open with it engaged.Over all this is a good shed if you can get at a good price. I purchased when at $199 and was worth every penny. It comes with a 10 year warranty but I don't know if it'll last the full 10 years, especially with UV damage but time will tell. I would buy again. Suncast is typically a good brand.

Worked for storing outside plastic stacking chairs and side tables. Clear directions for assembly.Does the job.

Big enough to fit all my chicken food and accessories in it

Absolutely as described, very easy to assemble, and fit generator perfectly. Shipped fast

This was very disappointing. I had purchased a different model years ago that I didn't have any problems with. This one has been a nightmare. The panels were not flat, they were bowed. The only one that was at least fairly flat was the roof. The rear panels had to be forced into alignment before they could be fully attached. The holes for the roof hinges were only partially present. I actually had to drill them out before I could put the roof on!! This isn't even listing all of the problems I had with it. And I am not a novice building things, I have designed, built and assembled things since I was a child - 60+ years so I know what I am doing. Good luck if you decide on this item.

This is a reasonable shed for the price. I only have a couple gripes. For one, the instructions are drawings, which I felt were lacking in detail and took some head scratching to figure out. I would have gladly watched a YT video if Suncast had one available. Second, the floor of the shed is sturdy plastic, but not so sturdy that it can be placed on ground that is not reasonably level. It will flex and throw off the alignment of the side panels and doors. I made that mistake and now have to go back and fix it. Not that you need a laser level, but dragging a 2x4 across the ground first is a good idea.Part of the reason I bought this is because the Amazon description included the internal dimensions, which most competing products do not. This is critical if you are putting fixed depth and width items like patio cushions inside. I fit six 28x28x6 seat cushions, plus another six back cushions inside. One star off for the instructions and somewhat flimsy floor, but I’d certainly buy again. Oh, and so much of this type of product is made elsewhere, so it was nice to buy something made close to home.

Easy to assemble. Perfect for what I needed
