I absolutely love this shed; so much that I bought two more for a total of three!

Purchased this shed February, 2022. At the end of this past summer, I noticed that the roof had warped, which pulled out a number of the screws attaching a metal reinforcement bar underneath. With a 10 year warranty, I assumed this would be covered. However, Suncast denied the claim, despite me submitting photos showing the shed was installed level and plumb on a solid base. There are numerous other reviews mentioning warped roofs. This will be my last Suncast product.

    Hinges
    Door hinges pop off - won’t stay on. I have 2 doors leaning into my shed and winter is coming. Maybe i should plastic wrap the whole thing.

      Do NOT BUY
      Extremely disappointed in this purchase. The screws that hold the reinforcing channel to the top of the shed have torn out. Customer service told me it was not a manufacturer defect and there was nothing they can do. An absolute joke. This shed is made like garbage. Do yourself a favor and do not purchase this.

        Installed on patio of condo. Perfect size for HOA guidelines. Small issues during assembly were answered on You Tube. Not a one man job for an old man!

        Sturdy little shed
        As described, easy to build. The doors don't line up which bothers me.

        Easy to assemble, strong enough
        I bought this shed for my home in Central Florida back in July, I basically needed a place to keep a few yard tools that was not a buffet for termites so I went with this shed. I was able to assemble the shed in about an hour in the hot sun with basic hand tools and WD-40. I found that the screws that everyone complains about on the hinges went in a lot better with a little WD-40 and running the screw through the threads before doing the install. So far the shed has held up, even in Ian.

            Perfect to store our patio cushions in. Perfect depth and width. Recommend 3 persons to put the shed together. Mostly to hold the panels in place when securing.

            Does What it Says
            Handy little shed that is fairly easy to assemble. Quality is decent and nothing was missing. Not sure why, but the roof is hinged in the back then secured in the front via screws. Works well for garden/yard tool storage. Installed a Fast Track system inside using rivets and it worked out pretty well.

              Easy to build and holds a lot of stuff
              We needed a smallish storage shed that had to fit inside a 5-foot-wide space between the house and fence. This shed not only fits the space but also offers a spacious interior and holds a lot. We also cut a piece of plywood to the size specified in the instruction manual to use as a shelf for small items. I needed about 2 hours total to build the shed that included reading through the manual. My wife helped me for a few moments with one of the back and side walls, but otherwise I built it by myself. It was easy and needed only a few screws to hold the panels together. I found installing the hinges was the most challenging part of the process. I took the photos after I finished and before rain fell but it’s full of things that have stayed dry through several heavy rains.

                warranty is laughable/non-existent
                I purchased this unit 2 years ago. Over the past year the left door has warped. This leaves me unable to sufficiently close the doors. I have submitted a warranty claim and was told it required a stable foundation. As you can hopefully see, it is sitting on a concrete pad and has been since the day it was assembled. Maybe yours will be fine, but be warned that if it isn't, there will be zero support from Suncast.

                  It was perfect for what we bought it for no complaints. We put the base down checking it with a level on all sides. Got it all together and doors closed perfectly. We also used pressure treated ground contact wood for base.

                  Worst Shed Purchase
                  8th Suncast purchase, Corners/edges don't lock, not waterproof AT ALL so leaks like a sieve, wind blows roof up so more water can enter. Used 4 tubes of caulk attempting to Waterproof, you can see sun/sky at roofline,see pavers through the back edge,bugs/water/dirt can enter. Doesn't state not weatherproof,picture on box shows it outside.Can't take apart without it breaking,or would have returned it and gotten my money backWaste of my hard earned money & time Just a very poorly designed product.

                    Really nice, pretty easy to assemble. Only time consuming part is anchoring base to the ground: drilling into concrete and making sure you have the right anchor screws and washers. Take the time to buy/borrow a hammer drill if you don't have one, and go to hardware store to get the right drill bit size and for concrete (buy an extra too), concrete anchor screws, and washers. Only complaint is that if there is any ground slope at all, the doors are slightly out of alignment with each other. But it doesn't affect the functionality. Compared to the rubber maid and other brands I've seen for twice the price, these are 10x better quality. I noticed they are the exact same product as the Craftsman sheds. Probably same maker, different label. The Craftsman are nice too.

                      Very nice shed. Took about an hour to assemble. Door hinges are hardest part. Search for helpful YouTube videos. I added shelves using the cut dimensions in the instructions. Fit perfectly.

                        The shed was easy to assemble with the exception of the hinges for the doors. The other drawback is that the shed does not come with any shelving or vents. The shed is durable and suits my needs.

                          Great little shed
                          This plastic/resin shed was just what I was looking for. It was very easy to assemble - Took me about 2 hours and did mostly by myself. Assembly instructions were good and all parts were enclosed. I only needed help with screwing the back panels together as I needed someone to push against the two panels from the other side to get them tight. I am quite pleased with the assembled shed.

                            Great Shed
                            My existing Suncast small vertical shed was in need of replacement after 15 years in the Arizona sun. I purchased the large Suncast Vertical shed because it would hold all of my gardening tools. The quality of the Suncast sheds has been excellent. A big factor was that it would fit in my 2017 Honda CRV. ( I had to slide the front seats forward a little) I am very happy with my purchase. It was easy to assemble, directions were good. I assembled it by myself. I want to thank Lexie and the order desk personnel for a job well done.

                              Very flimsy, hardware low quality, won't stand up to wind storm
                              We liked the size of the shed so we thought we would give it a try. Overall I'm pretty disappointed in the structural quality. If you are placing this shed inside your garage or in a protected area up against a building under a roof overhang, it might be OK. But out in the yard or in the weather it will not stand up to much wind. It is very lightweight and flimsy. It recommends attaching the plastic bottom to a 3" concrete slab with 3/8 inch bolts - not sure why - the sides are barely attached to the plastic bottom. The attachment of the top is even worse with two plastic clips and two metal pins. If you are putting this shed out in the weather and want it to stand up to wind, you need to be a good handyman and need to add a lot of brackets and braces to hold it together. The tapped holes in the door hinges were tapped before the brackets were bent, so the holes are no longer round. You will need a 1/4x20 tap to clean up the threads so the screw will go in. I've seen numerous questions posted about the shelves and where to buy them - without any good answers from Suncast. You can't buy them. You have to buy wood and cut it to shape yourself. The dimensions are in the manual, but are not clearly labeled. Again, you have to be somewhat of a handyman and have access to a jig saw. I added two shelves to my shed and attached them with long screws through the side from the outside into the shelves to make the shed more rigid. Hopefully they will help hold the sides on in wind. I also saw some questions posted asking where to buy parts. Suncast sells parts on their web site - but I don't understand why. The shed is supposed to have a 10 year warranty. Shouldn't the parts be free for 10 years? Overall, if I had known how this would turn out I would have just built up a wood frame shed with 2x4's and hardie board siding for exterior walls.

                                light but sturdy
                                Bought this storage unit and put it together a few days ago. Before making my purchase i read most of the reviews here so I was somewhat prepared. Location was already set on concrete so no issues there. Looking ahead at the assembly instructions on-line helped me see what tools I needed. The rubber mallot is a must. In addition to phillips screw drivers you could also use either a stubby or off-set screw driver. My wife

                                  Eye pleasing and funtctonal
                                  Picked this up at Home Depot in my Grand Jeep Cherokee SUV. Back seats down layed flat & slid right in with no issues. I will say I had to move my seat up a bit and I'm a shorty. This shed is store my canine agility equipment. I ended up using The Gladiator Garage track system. I did check out other brands but went with this because I wanted the durability of spreading leverage and the width/ height of each track is wider. I also chose to use machine screws with a washer and nut. Yes, that means you have to go through the walls but again I wanted more strength and didnt care about the hardware being on the outside since its on the backside. Took 44 minutes to put shed together. Rubber mallet and some force is all ya need. Instruction are okay and could be better but got it done. I recommend.

                                    Solid little shed. No problems assembling. We did build and level a wooden platform for the base. Very pleased with the end result. The 10 yr. guarantee was an added incentive.
