Customer Reviews for Handy Home Products Somerset 10 ft. x 10 ft. Wood Storage Building Kit with Floor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great!!!! I love this!!!! I needed a sturdy shed and this is exactly what I needed.

truck driver had to break up my package,to get it off the truck,now I have pieces everywhere, so shed is still in pieces,and how to make a 10*10 floor,when the floor package contains 8 ft wood,what a waste of time and money,not happy!

I bought this kit and ended up replacing or supplementing almost everything in it. That's $1500+ thrown away. There are three main problems. 1) $1500 is much more than the price of the lumber contained in the kit. I'll build my second one from lumber purchased individually, and will be able to quantify the difference. My rough estimate is that I'll save 50% and end up with better lumber. 2) The kit for this 10X10 shed is shipped in 4x8 package. So, 2x4s that should be 10' are broken into 8' and 2' pieces. These are key structural members resulting in a weakened shed. 3) The side walls consist only of the 3/8 particle board paneling. Given that the studs are only on 24" centers, the result is a very weak wall that will deteriorate and leak in short order, especially since the roof only has about a 1" overhang. I recommend printing out the instructions provided on this web site and modifying the design to overcome these deficiencies yourself. The instructions are actually pretty good. They are the best part of the kit.

I am pretty happy with the looks of the shed.There were a lot of bowed and split pieces of wood along with some damage to the roof pieces due to the shipping method.The instruction were very easy to follow. Overall I would recomend this product to friends and family.
