Customer Reviews for Lifetime 8 ft. x 20 ft. Resin Storage Shed

I purchased the MADE IN USA 8x20 plastic shed at the beginning of Oct. of 2021. It arrived less than 3 weeks later. We gave the driver $20 to place it closer to where I was building it, that was the best $20 spent, it saved a lot of walking. Unpacking it went well. The only parts missing was the black inset tape for the door windows, I substituted clear silicone. It took me 19 hrs and 45 mins to completely assemble the shed on our pressure treated 1/2"plywood on 4/4's with 2/4's on16" centers foundation. This made an excellent solid base for the plastic shed's floor. Out of that time, 3 people helped me a total of 45 mins. The roof parts and the first corner is where their help was needed. It is very well designed. We just had some monsoon type rain come thru and the interior was dry. My only concern is the heat inside. The sunroof and dark brown roof panels create a lot of heat. It has been hot inside the shed and it isn't summer yet. I'm wondering if I'll need to install an attic vent fan to get rid of some of the heat. I did put an outlet in the wall and an overhead light with a light switch, so it wouldn't be hard to install a fan. This shed seems to be very well made and it is almost full of our plastic containers already. The roof snow supports will be tested this winter. I'll post an update, hopefully a successful one! If you had 2 people you could easily assemble this in a day. As of now, I highly recommend buying this shed. It looks very nice in our yard.

This shed is beautiful once completed. It does take a day to build and the institutions are a little confusing, but the YouTube videos help tremendously. It’s perfect to store our tools, army gear and lawn mower and tiller. I highly recommend this shed.

Was shorted on ADZ fasteneners. Otherwise all good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased two of these one for storage and one for working. They are working perfectly and look great in our yard.

Couldn't be happier. Better than I expected it to be. Do make you're on a level surface or platform. I didn't have the extra to build a platform, so I put on my driveway. When completed, I has to put a little wedge towards the front to get my doors back aligned. Besides that, great product. Now the only issue I see, the back walls are a little flimsy with no real support. Going to add a couple of braces to help that.

Seems to be a good, solid shed once it is assembled but assembly was a nightmare. The video did help. Took 3 weekends to complete. Alignment was my biggest issue with the wall panels and center roof cap/sunlight panel. Two of the wall panels were a quarter of an inch taller than all the others. Now my biggest issue is that the roof screws want to work themselves out between gravity and heat expansion. I'm in the SoCal desert where it will get to 110 or more during the summer but I'm having this issue at 85 degrees. Putting the floor together was also a large issue. We could not get the panels to align for the lock-in-tab design. I ended up cutting the tabs off and screwing the floor panels to the plywood flooring that was built. My last complaint is that even though the components were spread across the 3 boxes so that they would all be the same size, it meant that I had to open every box and pull out every panel and component prior to starting. The instructions were in box 3. Overall though, once assembled it is a serious upgrade over my previous plastic shed. The solid doors and latch system are a big advantage. If I needed another one, I would probably pay for someone to assemble for me.

This shed was mostly easy to assemble, and the construction is really solid. I would have liked to know that there are no actual assembly videos online for this model (as of late 2022), which has QR codes that are supposed to link to those videos--according to customer support, Lifetime is in the process of adding new videos all the time. However, there was only one stage where we needed a closer look at what the manual's instructions were, so this was a minor inconvenience. The shed looks great, and it's very sturdy.

The instructions that came with the unit were incorrect, when compared to the online instructions the had several different measurements and steps out of order. Sometimes the instructions in the box were correct and other times the ones online were correct. Very confusing, calling the support number got us a voicemail box.

Mostly satisfied, but some side walls were difficult installing in floor.

Very sturdy and easy to put together (except for that 20’ long top piece - very flexible and difficult to put in place by yourself).

Installed this shed and don’t recommend using the instructions for completing the ridge section. After 3 failed attempts with screws falling out and a broken skylight section I decided to install the pieces from inside on a ladder. I worked one piece at a time from front to back without a problem.

I receive my lifetime 8ftx20ft outdoor shed 3/14/2022. I had one problem and I called customer service. the gentleman I spoke to was super nice he helped me out with my problem.

It is exactly what the profile described, it is a great shed especially for the money, better than wood,

Shed is great but EXTREMELY difficult to assemble.

Excellent storage space. Great price for size!

QUALITY storage building. It FAR exceeds the quality of the Suncast shed it replaced. However, the instruction "ENCYCLOPEDIA" is HORRIBLE. It took an experienced builder almost two days with an inexperienced helper to build the building following the ridiculous instructions provided.

AAA

We bought this shed a few years ago and hit has been wonderful. Big, lots of light and strong. Even with the snow load kit, you need to clean off the roof! We did not this year and the trusses on one side bent. It did not collapse though and that says something as many sheds in our area did. There were even garages that fell in. So that fact that ours was still standing is something. We then put a tarp over it until we could get it repaired. We contacted lifetime and they quickly sent us the parts that we needed, even across the US/Canada border in the middle of the COVID crisis.

Nice but a little harder to assembly then lead to believe in video.

Great quality and so far no leaks - happy with the purchase

Corners a little hard to assemble but overall pretty easy to build

I love my new shed, it's beautiful. It took 6 men to complete the job because of the many parts, they worked for 8 hours.

I previously purchased the 11x21 shed but this one was way easier. Lifetime Products rock.
