Lovely bins shed
Nothing to be negative about,the hydrolic pistons were faulty but thanks to Michalis in customer service this was resolved and now it is perfect.
I would say do not use electric drill. It may be more time consuming but an old fashioned screw driver is better.
Looks good.
These were bought during a sale so I managed to get them substantially cheaper than my favoured Keter brand.
Arrived in a timely manner and were easily erected by one person in about thirty minutes a piece.
The instructions, whilst minimal, are easy enough to follow and, unlike previously constructed Keter products, all the holes were where they should be and there was no warping that required a wee bit of “shoogling” to sort out.
An electric screwdriver would be of great use to you during construction as there are quite a few self tapping screws that need firmly screwed through plastic and even though they are easy enough to construct a second pair of hands would not go amiss, especially when you are attaching the lid hinges to the main body.
My only real issue is that the plastic “locking mechanism” supplied does not actually securely clip the lid down unless you use a padlock (unlike the similar Keter product). It will be fine enough during good weather but come a high wind I wouldn`t like the lid to be blown open, exposing the contents to the elements and possibly snapping off the lid and hinges. So padlocks it is – even though I do not require them and not really worth the issue as you could break into these and any other similar product using just harsh language.
Bought for the purpose of keeping plant pots and other growing equipment within and they will easily serve this purpose.

Great storage containe
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.
Easy to assemble
Easy to assemble nice big size holds a good amount . Doors not the sturdiness but good value for the money looks good too .
Would recommend
Looks good and holds alot of items
A good size for storage easy to put together and weatherproof no leaks inside good value item I purchased
Hoped for bette
Weather proof – I suppose. Waterproof – definitely not. It’s ok-ish.
When closed it is sturdy enough but open it is a bit flimsy. The top hinge on one door came lose and allowed the door to fall, snapping the bottom hinge in the process.
Also allowed wasps to enter and make a nest.
SUPERB SUPERB
Excellent bit of kit just moved house but no where to put a dryer . So came up with the idea of putting my dryer in the bunker close a window it works perfect with extension lead through the window.
SUPERB
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.
Easy to assemble!
Found it very easy to assemble on my own (56yr old woman) using just a hand screwdriver. I also put some drainage holes into the rear channel on the base which the back panel sits in as, having read previous reviews, rain can occasionally ingress there so just added drainage as a precaution.
Took less than one hour to do from start to finish and am very pleased with the sturdy ness and look of the storage.
Smart but Flimsy
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!
Decent box, a little flimsy
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
Easy to assemble
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.
Well we have put it togethe
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.
Make sure it's on a flat and even surface
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
Plastic Garden Storage Shed
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.
Absolutely amazing purchase!
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
Good Value
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.
Good
Very happy with my purchase. Good value for money and just as described.
Great quality
Great value and quality item. Amazon mucked up the ordering and took a month to arrive.
Easy assembly
It’s waterproof and it took minutes to assemble sits pretty well. Had some strong winds on the coast but was solid
Does exactly what's on the tin great storage
Easy assembly no fuss 15mins to complete and very sturdy
Seems to do the job
Not very easy to put together, but got there in the end. Good capacity, have stored my lawn mower. Need to check if its waterproof enough. Will update on this.
Makes a reasonable store for rollato
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.
i like i
good size,nice color,material looks also good i only worry about doors how long will they work
Smart storage unit with option to deck out with shelving.
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.
Good storage space
It is easy to assemble and has good storage space but it is a little flimsier than we thought it would be.
Just the right size
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.
Not the easiest flatpack to put togethe
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.
Looks good and strong
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
Instructions could be better explained but easy to put together.
Fitted perfectly in the space I had. I use it to store our cushions in the winter months. Very pleased with it.
Great purchase
Easy assemble
Waterproof
Description is as it states
Great purchase
Good quality
Written instructions would have been helpful and speeded up assembly Package was not too big on arrival and when assembled looked sturdy
Missing latches to keep doors closed not sturdy without this a bit disappointed
The latches to close the doors missing, as the doors keep opening would it be possible to send some to me not sturdy without latches.
Sturdy enough.
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 but with a thumbs up from me 850 versio
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
weatherproof
after waiting 3 months for delivery I thought good its here. Box does not hold wheelie bins also it is leaking nor impressed.
A good value for money bin store.
Assembly instructions could be clearer and a bit more stability on the doors would enhance this product, but after a couple of weeks I am very happy with the product so far.

Wouldn’t use for expensive items
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
A little flimsy
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.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good product for the money I paid
Doors were a little flimsy other than that it was fit for the purpose it was bought for which was to store garden items like mower etc

It does what it should
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
Could be much better for your money
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.
Great addition to the garde
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.
Ideal storage for garden furniture cushions great value
Easy to assemble looks good in the garden sturdy and secure.
Looks better than the wheelie bins.
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.
Sturdy shed
It fitted a place I needed but I thought it was a little overpriced
Ideal for what we needed! Great service!
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!

Grey storage for the garde
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.

Not easy for aged person to erect, needs an able bodied man or me
Nothing
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

Great purchase: Recommended
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.
Perfect outdoor storage.
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.
Not 100% watertight.
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.
Good quality garden storage . Update
Exactly what we needed to keep garden tools in.
Was fine until this weekend we notice lid is beginning to warp. Also the storage unit is not waterproof. Now feeling disappointed
Good looking outside storage.
Excellent outside storage,easy assembly with 2 people. Very good price & it looks good.
great size
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.
Quality produc
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.
Needs some extra work before using.
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.
Neat storage solutio
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.
We'll worth the money and good looking.
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.
Good purchase
Excellent purchase- only downside is closure doesnt close very well- keeps coming open so you will need a padlock to hold it closed
Great Storage
Simple to put together big enough for all our recycling
Great design and value
This storage box is a perfect shape to hold folded up garden sun beds, and recliner chairs.
It is relatively easy to construct (just follow instructions) and feels robust. Waterproof in the recent wind and rain we had. Inside can be modified with shelving if required but I found it best to drill some small holes at the edges (inside, not through the outer shell) which allows me to stretch elastic bungees hooked across and hold the chairs in place. The floor section is a little more flimsy than ideal, so I used a soft floor tile insert at less than a fiver to create a solid none slip base. The lid could be a little more robust, but no sign of any bending or warping so far. Front doors open wide for easy access and can be locked (needs a padlock)
Overall one of the best storage boxes I have in my garden Looks good and very useful.

Pretty good addition to garden storage.
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.

Sturdy
Good quality. Instructions not as clear as they could be.
Not bad
Easy to assemble but slightly damaged on outside.
The box itself was sturdy and completely waterproof
Good value storage uni
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
Garden storage box
Nice size storage box very pleased easy to assemble didn’t take me long i would recommend very fast delivery thanks
Good quality shed but the lock catch isn’
Great size and sturdy shed but the lock catch keeps popping out when the door is opened or closed.
My garden cupboard
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.
Sturdy once built.
A sturdy items. But the instructions arnt clear in parts. I had to drill some holes for the screws to go in fully.
Recommend it’s a 2 person job. And you Need a drill, power Screwdriver.
Looks nice
Looks good but with no pre drilled holes I found a few of them very hard to get the screws in.
Good sturdy store that looks nice as well
Very easy to assemble. Instructions not very clear but really only 5 parts to it. Looks tidy and sturdy when built water tigh
Good Produc
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.
Good storage
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.
Good !
Nice looking- Not bad for the price easy to build
