very dark brown – almost black
spacious enough for what I need it for
weatherproof and neat
easyish to build. Better imagery needed in manual to illustrate the back wall build and how to hang the doors
lacks rigidity – especially when opened. Be nice if the optional shelf was included FOC to bring some sturdiness across the width.
is it worth 143? Probably – as it took me 20 mins to build alone. You couldn’t build a weatherproof store of this size out of wood – and it would take a weekend to do.
I need help there should be 2 bars.one for bottom and one for top. I only have one bar. ???
I needed some outdoor storage to store my petrol generator in the back garden. The garden is secure so weather protection/keeping dry is my main priority. The shed arrived on time and in tact. For the first time ever I had to provide the Amazon delivery guy with a one-time passcode. After searching through my account I eventually found the code (10 minutes of my life wasted!!). The shed was simple to assemble and took less than 15 minutes on my own. The only tool needed was an electric screwdriver. I drilled a few holes in the base where the back slips in to prevent water from gathering in the bottom and the same again in the front where the doors sit. It is well made and I ignored the instructions to fit the doors after the side panels were fitted and did so before fitting the side panels thereby saving a lot of fiddling about. Overall I am happy with my purchase and after several hours of rain, no leaks appeared. Looks good.
This storage container is just what we were after for putting the kids bikes & scooters in. The grey blends in with the grey fence and you don’t really notice it. We thought it was a good price & my husband put it together in about an hour. We haven’t had it long but no water has leaked in. So glad we bought it.
Great size for storing bins and recycling bags. Had 1 small crack but doesn’t affect product. It is what it is-plastic storage cupboard
I had read previous reviews before purchasing and read that water leaked in through the back panel. You have 2 options to overcome this. I drilled a series of tiny holes at the base of the channel into which the back panel sits. These are small enough to let any rain out and stop insects getting in. This is a design floor but easily overcome. The alternative is to mastic the panel in on assembly. The first option is the best.
Very easy to assemble. It appears a bit flimsy with the top up and the doors open as there is no cross member to hold it all together. Having said that when the doors are closed and the lid is down it becomes robust.
I am very pleased with it. It will store all 6 garden chairs and a few other bits and bobs. Thoroughly recommend.
This shed was very easy to assemble and looks great at the front of my property. However, the doors of the shed are flimsy and last week, when the dustbin men were emptying the bins, one of the locks fell off and has subsequently disappeared which is frustrating, especially when the shed is so new!
I’ve had this outdoor box for nearly a year and overall it’s a good box. We got the 850 size and it holds a good amount of garden stuff if you pack it in well. One thing I would note though is if you don’t have the box on concrete or something perfectly flat the doors won’t all lock in place easily, as the whole of the plastic frame flexes.
It’s kept the water out well, and being plastic it’ll last foreve
Overall we are happy with these. Very easy to assemble. The doors on ours are a little wayward because of the weight we put on it. They distort a little according to where the weight is placed. Not too bad. I have braced across the inside with a fitted wooden shelf. This has made them much sturdier.
It’s a bit of a pain to put together. There are instructions but the pictures are too small to be much help. The back panel is in two pieces and the instructions are really too small. Myself and my wife managed to assemble it in about an hour. I am 74 and blind in one eye and my wife is in a wheel chair so we didn’t do too bad. Once assembled it feels sturdy enough. Won’t know about waterproof until it rains. Delivery was very good it’s very heavy though so you definitely need two people.
Easy to put together.We followed another reviewers advice and drilled a few holes in the channel at the back to let any water out.Looks nice when assembled and holds a fair amount of garden equipme
OK, it is just that, it is not that sturdy but it does its job as long as you treat it gently. I do not mean that it is falling apart easily, maybe I should have thought about spending a little bit more money to get something a bit more sturdy.
I love the fact that it is so spacious, I bought it only 108, but sad to see that the price has gone up. It is worth buying for protecting your lovely cushions on the patio
Very pleased with what I’ve purchased just what I want to thank you very much
I love it because exactly what I want in the garden storage area , I love the colour too function waterproof
Parts are missing .HANDLE ,Hinge and hinge bracket ,top cover lock ,Metal rod cant find who to contact .If anyone can help please
We have found the parts that were missing. Panic over.
We are pleased with our with it just what we needed to store the lawnmower in.
Very happy with my purchase. Good value for money and just as described.

A bit of a struggle to finish off assembly. Definitely need a drill for final assembly instructions. But it makes a good store for a rollator. Just fits by storing sideways. Has let in a little water on stormy night. Pleased with appearances and finished sturdiness.
Bought for a gift very nice good quality and the recipient was very happy
good size,nice color,material looks also good i only worry about doors how long will they work
Nice looking, sturdy (as plastic can be) storage unit. Fairly easy to assemble but note that if you can’t find the ‘metal bars it could be part assembled to the lid already. Make sure you place it on level ground so doors open and close OK. A little pricey for what it is, in my opinion, but nevertheless, competitive.
This storage box was very easy to assemble and definitely suits our purpose for story our children’s bikes and scooters.
It does feel a bit flimsy particularly the doors, so I have decided against fitting shelves which was my original plan.
That said it does what we need to it do and provides outside storage for items we don’t have space for inside and it’s easy for the kids to use.
The instructions are misleading. Also, the base is not meant to take weight. The ad. showed compost bags stacked beside each other but that makes the base dip in the middle. I stood this on level crazy paving/bricks. Looks good, not sure about the weatherproof bit. Useful for garden tools and small bags of anything, also hanging baskets not in use. Tools have to be stored horizontally. The cats find it a wonderful place to sunbathe! Good size, good colour.

We wanted storage for our garden cushions but it had to fit a certain space which also meant it would be in view so had to look good as well. This fitted both requirements and was very easy to assemble but is very study so very happy
Good for storing prams, gargen chairs kids bikes I recommend when putting the back plate in place silicone all the way around the joint where you slide the plate in to . I just got a little bit of water coming in but nothing what would effect the things I mentioned as it just leaks on to the floor a bi
Excellent service and product also great value for the money. Many Thanks.
Written instructions would have been helpful and speeded up assembly Package was not too big on arrival and when assembled looked sturdy

We bought this as a type of kennel for our very large Belgian shepherd as the others did not seem large enough. I suppose if you build things regularly it would not cause too much of a problem but my husband struggled a little with it. It is sturdy and would do the job for its purpose. Our next door neighbour has offered to buy it from us as our reason for buying has not worked out.
It’s a budget store that easily fits shovel, pick, fork, a box of tools and a lawnmower and hedgetrimmers along with other bits an bobs.
Very easy to assemble, but yes you need a power drill to make life easy and the parts you need to drill have pilots but otherwise you need to bite through two bits of plastic.
There are some gaps notably from the top lid to the sides but nothing significant (design flaw here as an inch more material on the top cap would have weatherproofed the top at least)
Base sits significantly off the ground to cause no issues but the bottom of the doors will I am certain let water in (nothing that can’t be fixed with drainage holes, but time will tell)
It’s a fair size, and for the price and ease of assembly as well as the thickness of material I don’t think anyone can complain. Photo above (with added spaniel for scale) shows how it fits my garden set up, and I’m pretty sure this would take two standard bins but snuggly
Hope this helps someone

Great large outside storage box. Looks nice, completely weatherproof. Did arrive slightly damaged but excellent partial refund or replacement offered. Would recommend seller and product.
Lovely box – not secure enough for any tools, feels quite flimsy. Use for all the garden bits it’s hard to find a home for but don’t want to put in the new shed
I think I might be getting issues because the ground is on a bit of a slant. The doors line up but the bolt mechanism is a little flimsy and also the foot locking bar is a little flimsy. The hinge on one side doesn’t quite engage properly so I have to move the lid to one side when I push it down then it works. Also I find that the hook that connects to the bin lid falls off so it is a matter of lifting the lid slowly otherwise chain will twist and the hook will fall off. It is absolutely fine if the bins are for yourself because it only takes a bit of effort to adapt but I think a sturdier solution is needed if the bins are communal. Otherwise it is an attractive solution, it serves its purpose and it is probably better than I describe.

A bit flimsy.
Easy to assemble.
Top lid misshapen
Time will tell.
Bought this based on the sizes, we have a large L shaped corner patio set and this ticks every box for cushion storage.
It’s actually quite good at keeping heavy rain & winds out.
All the sofa set & chair cushions fit inside.
Happy with this.
Thanks for reading.
Installation with a screwdriver manually and a hole piercing tool. Make extra holes at the bottom to drain any water that might or might not seep in.
Does what it should although I have found in the last few days that there has been some wanted in the bottom. It is a little flimsy and the locking system could be better – does it’s job though
It looks good but the instructions are absolutely terrible plus they can’t get to shut the lid properly but they are still trying, it needs to be straight forward with the instructions
I made sure that I ordered the larger size – 1200l – so that two full size UK bins would fit easily.
Assembly was straight forward; the biggest problem was, as others have said, all the screws and fully tightening them. Even with a power driver, this was quite difficult. The doors, however, were easy to fit after the sides were in place as the top hinge moulding could be attached to the door and then clicked into place. Altogether, it took me about two hours to complete on my own, but I am in my eighties! My neighbours, and even the postman, have commented how good it looks. So far no water has entered despite two recemt thunderstorms. Very satisfied.
Easy to assemble if you follow the instructions, good robust materials, did have a slight hiccup with a missing part but couple of emails sorted that out very quickly.

Easy to assemble looks good in the garden sturdy and secure.
It fitted a place I needed but I thought it was a little overpriced
Generally pleased with the purchase as it does exactly what it was bought for – to hide our 2 wheelie bins. I’m not particularly good at DIY and there were some assembly challenges but I got there in the end. No leaks as reported in some reviews, but it wasn’t as sturdy as I’d envisaged but it does the job and actually looks quite good. A wooden bin store would probably have been better, but these are considerably more expensive and so far I’ve no regrets.
Great product at great price!!! Delivery was quick (but second person was needed). Had a small issue with the hinges but the company were very, very swift in resolving! Perfect!
Great size box for storing garden tools etc. Hoods a lot of stuff. Defo a 2-peraon assembly job.
The delivery was sooner than stated which was excellent. I prefer images for instructions rather than words so that was good. Easy to assemble once organised. Very pleased with my purchase.
Good design, easy to assemble.
Ground needs to level, otherwise the doors settle skew, but tolerance adequate for fit.
Cut and fitted a shelf, used for garden seat cushions.
When I was assembling the shed I noticed that I had two back pieces the same so I could not assemble the rear tried to just return the back pieces only to find out that it have to return the whole shed after I had assembled i

Requires two persons to assemble. Approx 2 hours to erect. Instructions mainly pictures, very little narrative. Over 40 screws to fix and some click assembly.
Not sure if this is a design fault: back panel fixed by a number of screws but no holes on the post of the side panels, therefore screws forced through the plastic. Once this has been achieved, sturdy enough. Fully lockable with two padlocks (not supplied) for extra security.
Overall, better than I at first thought; looks great and a reasonable price.
Absolutely brilliant item. I’m a small framed woman in my mid 60’s and was able to put this together myself. It looks great and stores a great amount of stuff. Definitely recommend.
Easy to assemble, strong and spacious for our needs, there is some flex in the side panels.
Well designed drainage system on lid BUT another rainwater related issue needs to be addressed, namely the channel holding base of rear panel that fills with rainwater and seeps through the join onto base of unit, thus ruining our patio chair cushions.
Drilling five drainage holes in the base of the channel has rectified the problem – this should be done at manufacture stage.
Excellent outside storage,easy assembly with 2 people. Very good price & it looks good.
like that its a cheaper alternative to wood and that it gives the space i need for my allotment tools. was easy to build until the last part – you need to screw in a lot of screws to fix the back panel to the sides – however there are no pre drilled holes which made it difficult for me, even my partner struggled – also it didnt line up as it should which made it even harder. the shed is very light so in exposed places (like my allotment) i have had to put a concrete slab inside and on the lid to keep it weighted down. one other design fault – the loops for a padlock dont stay clicked in place which is frustrating at times. on the whole though i am happy with it and what i need it for.
Purchased for a care home for overflow PPE storage.
Arrived earlier then expected, (after two days, if memory serves!). Goes together easily; although you need a screwdriver a few times all the major panels are push fit. It recommends two people to assemble, but I did it by myself as there was only 2 of us on shift.
It has kept everything dry despite the rain we’ve had of late. One very minor problem is that one of the padlock staples was not a snug fit and unless the doors are lined up properly, this can be pushed out, not a huge issue and the only thing I can think of to complain about!
Don’t forget to buy padlocks, unless you have a secure garden.
This box is very sturdy plenty of room inside and seems waterproof. A good buy
If you want a waterproof box from the off then this isn’t for you. It says weatherproof yet the rain managed to find its way in through the back of the bottom of the box via the groove the back slots into.
My husband had to take it apart, and simply drilled holes along said groove to allow the water to drain away. 2 days later and 2 days of rain and the box is dry.
Shouldn’t need to do this and it’s no doubt voided the warranty but I’d say we’ve improved the design.
Other than the above issue, the box looks nice and easily stores all of our outdoor furniture cushions (we have bagged them up just in case) are stored securely and tidily in one place.
I bought that for putting my bins in. Unfortunately Flintshire bins don’t fit but it is okay for all my recycling.
This is my second order of this shed. It’s a neat way of storing garden items. When it comes to assembling, I had learnt a lot from my first order. First, there’s a channel on the base that the back panel slots into. Rain water sits in the channel and has nowhere to go but inside the shed. Not a massive amount, but enough to form a puddle. If you drill small holes in the base channel before assembly you will eradicate this problem. Second, the doors are quite difficult to fit once the sides are on. I put the door and the side panel on at the same time, which made things a lot easier. You could do with two people to do this, but as I assembled mine entirely alone it is manageable. The whole assembly took about half an hour and I’m no DIY expert. Lightweight and easy to move if you need to, this is a great little shed. However, wheelie bins and adult bicycles do not fit in it.
Excellent product, used it to put the patio furniture cushions in from a corner suite and egg chair with space left over. Kept them all dry even after the horrid storms we’ve had recently. We’ll worth the money and good looking.
Excellent purchase- only downside is closure doesnt close very well- keeps coming open so you will need a padlock to hold it closed
Awkward to assemble but strong when finished.
Ideal for storing kids bikes and scooters.
Would recommend.
Excellent storage. Large but NOT large enough for wheelie bins, maybe if you have smaller ones but just not high enough. Easy enough and quick to assemble. Seems fairly weather proof and sturdy.
Good quality. Instructions not as clear as they could be.

Nice size storage box very pleased easy to assemble didn’t take me long i would recommend very fast delivery thanks
Used to store our loungers and very easy to assemble. Not the sturdiest of units but works for me as it’s waterproof and so keeps the furniture dry. There is still room for more to be added which should help weigh it down a bit as the high winds recently pushed it forward but no damage done. Good value for money
I used my product for storage in the garden it now stores bags of compost bark sand and all that stuff that gets wet when left out . It is very sturdy and was a bit tricky to build but I love it now it’s finished.
Looks good but with no pre drilled holes I found a few of them very hard to get the screws in.
Appauling instructions, two attempts to build this, please sort out your instuctions, especially ensure that the doors are fitted to the side panels BEFORE slotting the panels into the base.
To make this product waterproof, when you put it together, use clear mastic in the sides and back panel where they go into the base, as otherwise will fill with water and leak inside, put doors on as you put the sides on, as easier to locate hinges
Simple to assemble, really sturdy and good looking. The roof lifts as well as the doors opening so it is really versatile. Only slight issue is that the back panel slots into a channel in the base. If it rains heavily water drips into this channel and, once full, it then leaks inside the bottom of the shed. I drilled a few holes in the bottom of the channel so the water drains out and it seems to have solved the problem. A shame the manufacturers didn’t do something similar. All in all we are very pleased and have two at the back of the house. Would recommend as long as you make the drain holes yourself..

I’m pleased. You have to make sure the base is level, then it won’t leak. I watched the you tube tutorial to see how it was put together and then it was easy peasy. It is light but that makes it easy to carry to where you want to put it. Having said that, I managed to lose a small part, which the company sent me without any fuss.
Really thinking about buying another. Definitely value for money in my book.

Some holes didn’t line up, and one of the pieces where the padlock goes doesn’t click into place so tends to fall out when trying to lock it, otherwise quite sturdy
This is a great storeAway…solid…Easy to put together ideal size…has plenty of room for my need.
Product is good for the fact it is plastic it is as sturdy as it can be. Storage is in the back garden bonus is as it’s plastic it won’t get damaged by the weather. Looks good and has.a contemporary look to it.

Nice looking- Not bad for the price easy to build
Easy to build. Tidied up a messy area. 3 recycling bins fit in easily!
