The shed looks great!! The sun shines through the roof and warms up the shed during winter. But the shed walls are too weak (could punch through them). The flooring is too thin. Thought I was buying a sturdy shed for $1400. Buy an aluminum shed for half the price and it'll be bigger than this shed.

This shed was of extremely low quality materials. I’m shocked that Home Depot would allow it to be sole in their stores.

Poor Quality
Beware. This shed is not much better than cardboard and seems very unstable. Do not buy!

      So glad to have all of this space!
      Have only had it for a couple of days, but look forward to finally having a space for all of my gardening stuff and outdoor supplies. It looks huge. It's my second tiny house!

        Works if you are on a budget
        You cannot expect the sturdiness of a wooden shed from this. Assembly requires 2 people and I recommend reinforcing the sides with 2 x 4 wood from the inside so the shed doesn't wobble.

          This is the only unit that I could find that met the dimensions needed to fit the area it is intended for. The quality appears acceptable and the size is right on. Installation was difficult only because I had to empty the old shed and disassemble it. The instructions for assembly seem pretty easy and straight forward. The roof is sturdy and will be protective under the weather.

            Dear Frank, thank you for taking the time to place the review and a happy new year to you and your family. Multiwall Panels: The 10mm multiwall fortified polycarbonate panels enhance shed insulation, and do not bow or sag even in extreme heat or break in the extreme cold. The material doesn't become brittle or discolor over time and resists humidity, fungal decay, and termites.
            Aluminum Frame: The highly durable, maintenance-free frame provides added strength, stability, and resistance to the elements. The frame is strong enough to hold the weight of added shelves, racks, and hangers, all available for purchase separately.
            Wind and Snow Load: Withstands winds up to 65 mph and 22.5 lbs./sq. ft. of snow. For any further assistance, please contact us at https://canopia.com/contact-us PalramApplications

            Solid shed, great for my bicycle with easy in-out
            Perfect she’s for a smaller area but still fits two bikes easily with room to maneuver them in and out with these doors. Sturdy materials, should last quite some time.

              So far so good
              It took a while to assemble but as long as you follow the directions step by step and "trust the process", it's very manageable. She has a nice clean look.

                The instructions need a lot of work
                We are a surprised with how thin the walls are, but they appear to be sturdy enough. We wanted something easier to assemble than wood, and quieter during bad weather than metal, and this does the trick. It has already weathered one rain storm, and the inside of the shed was completely dry. The picture-only instructions leave a lot to be desired. Even the assembly video is lacking in adequate detail. Written instructions for many of the steps would have saved us several hours of build time.

                  Assembly was easy if you lay out and count your materials before hand. Strength and stability seems alright for a lightweight shed, works great for keeping your things dry and out of the sun. Solid base will be very important, I used 17x17 paver tiles. Natural light is great. 2 people can put it up in 1 day. I’ll be getting hurricane straps for it. I would recommend, but only if you intend for it to be permanent because to pack it up and move would be a full disassembly. It’s a good shed! I expect it to outlast steel and plastic sheds. Would not recommend if your goal is to be burglar proof, but this does hide your things very well and it looks sharp. The only reason for 4 not 5 starts is there’s no mechanism to hold doors open when you access it, and the door gap tolerances rub the tops sometimes when I close it no matter how much I adjust it but it’s just an inconvenience not a con.

                    Dear HomeDepotCustomer,

                    Thank you for taking the time to place the review.
                    Before customers place their belongings inside the shed and floor sets and levels there can by a small "Curling up". It can be easily fixed by putting a little silicon and glue it. When purchasing the silicon please make sure it is a polycarbonate friendly one such as Den Braven 7060.
                    Good luck and I hope you enjoy your shed for many more years to come. PalramApplications

                    If the shed is installed as per our instructions and anchored to the leveled slab/surface there is no need to worry as. I believe you read the shed's durability specifications in the product's page.
