    Our super shed
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kit included everything we needed. The quality of material was at times a challenge to work with. (i.e. very twisted 2x4's and knots) We are very pleased with the final product and will enjoy it for many years.

      Works for Me
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased a couple of months ago, it took about 1 week to put together between work and such. Instruction pretty easy to follow. Made a few personal adjustments for my own use. Putting bar up next week end right in front. Thanks for the product. Tony

              Monarch not Columbia shed
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually purchased the 10x8 Monarch shed but it was not a choice listed. I was amazed that such a large shed was packaged in a '48'x'96'x'16' box. I was able to pick it up at the store with my pickup truck. Fit perfectly. Very easy instructions, reasonably priced. Perfect for my needs. It also came with plently of nails and wood screws which I did not expect so I saved money there as well. Did not include the floor or shingles but I knew prior to purchasing it. No big deal, I bought that at the store when I picked up the shed. Thank you

                Easy assembly for one person
                I Purchased this shed for a simple resolution to my pump house. It was easy to assemble and the instructions were easy to follow. The walls on the ends could use a little more support but still a good product.

                  Confusing instructions
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought the Ellington 10 x 8 shed from Handy Home. The instructions were terribly difficult to decipher and we had to modify things to get the shed together. It did turn out looking good, but wow was it a challenge. Definitely not for a novice like us.

                    Perfect home project shed!
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We spent the weekend building this. It was a fun project. Easy instructions and very cute. The included nails were not good quality. We ended up buying different 3 in. nails because 2/3 nails would bend immediately. The 2in. Nails were useable. The lumber was good quality.

                            Couldn’t find the Ellington shed in selection
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Should of had 10 foot wood pieces for frame and sills and plates. Front plywood on either side of door would look better if one piece instead of two

                                Easy to Assemble!
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this shed to put in our backyard and store our mowers in. I really loved how easy it was to assemble this all inclusive kit complete with all the wood and shingles needed for the project! The best way to get exactly what you want/need with no hassle! Will be using these for all our future shed needs!

                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this last fall and just got it put together before snow fell. It seems pretty solid now but not when we were putting it together. Wall plywood provides its strength.

                                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were a little worried about building this shed by ourselves...but it was very easy to do. All the pieces are cut and ready to go. The instructions were easy to follow and our shed went up in 4 days with no hiccups! it was a good , afordable, and sturdy shed. We are very happy with it.

                                                        who sells a shed without shingles!?
                                                        First of all read the fine print SHINGLES ARE SOLD SEPERATELY. I'm not sure why you would sell a shed with no shingles but Home Depot does for some reason. Also it came with missing parts, instructions for pieces that we did not have and many of the studs were warped. If you do make the plunge to purchase this buyer beware!

                                                        The shingles are not included with Do It Yourself shed kits to allow the homeowner to customize the shed. Some areas require certain shingle types or colors for permitting or HOA approval. Also some customers want their shingles to match their home. Be eliminating them from the kit, this lowers the cost of the kit and allows that customization. If you have missing parts or warped wood please contact us here at customer service. The toll free number is 800-221-1849. We will be happy to get replacements shipped out to you or reimburse you for parts you had to purchase. I do apologize. HandyHomeProducts

                                                          Twisted Lumber, worst kit I've seen
                                                          I have to tell you, I'm very resourceful and have the tools to get just about anything done. Under normal conditions I would have already built this thing and moved everything in. The Lumber 2 x 4's and 2 x 6's were like working with cork screws. There wasn't one piece of straight lumber in the batch. Some were unusable so I had to go out and buy 10 2 x 4's and additional 9 2 x 3's to tie the roof structure together just to get it square. Every step required clamping or twisting wood with long clamps to get them straight. Nails were out of the question with such bends and twists in lumber so I'm about $ 70.00 into screws alone. How can you even precut such bent and twisted lumber with the intention of selling it to someone. I was going to replace a second shed on my property but not with this product, that I can assure you.

First I would like to apologize for the frustration you experienced with the warped and twisted boards in your kit. Wood is a natural product and occasionally twists and warps.
