Really happy with the shed and pad for it to be erected on site. The men that delivered the shed were polite and worked really hard and I feel were excellent, friendly and quick.
Just what we needed and it looks nice in the garden. I expected it to be tricky to assemble but me and my husband managed it in a few hours and it was pretty straightforward.
Nice shed for maintenance free and waterproof. I found the instructions not very informative with pictorial description. Could have more stickers on frames of doors R&L. Took me 11 hours on my own to construct, two people as suggested would be easier. Top side panel soffits had a curve, so alignment of roof was awkward. Conclusion nice shed, instructions could be better!
Arriving in one large box, this shed took two none DIYer a total of 6 hours to put together stopping only to have something to eat.
Instructions were easy to follow and each step was explained very well with numbered parts and screws which helped.
Everything slotted together nicely and the tool supplied helped with this process enormously.
I must admit I was quite concerned at first when 3 of the walls were in place and the structure was flapping about in the wind…but you have ti trust the process as it all came together nicely in the end , resulting in a solid feeling, stable shed that’s completely waterproof.
The fact that you can choose the location of the window is a huge bonus feature I wasn’t expecting but a nice surprise.
I would suggest you buy or borrow a electric screwdriver for the task and some ladders or something to stand on when fitting the roof would be helpful too.
All in all this is a lovely shed, easy to construct and totally maintenance free once constructed.
Highly recommend
I read many reviews before I purchased my keter 6×8 shed, and contry to many I found it easy and straight forward to assemble, I followed the instructions to the letter and the job was completed in 5hrs which I thought was pretty good as I did it on the whole on my own apart from some help from my wife with the roof.
The finished product is a nice looking shed of great quality, very sturdy and totally waterproof just what I wanted.
Nice little shed, good value for money. Installed as part of the amazon package, by two great guys who completed the task promptly and efficiently.
All in all I am very satisfied with my purchase.
The shed has arrived in a huge box. Nearly 80kg. Luckily there was no damage parts in the box. Everything was well labeled and the instruction booklet was straight forward. I have already prepared myself and download it before.
It was like assembling an IKEA stuff. Some bags contain extra screws!
You need a drill, ladder/step, tape measure, maybe a rubber hammer and a lot of patience. To be accurate, for two people 6 and half hour. During that time you will find yourself saying f…ck many times.
Most hardest part of the work is to assemble the floor and the roof and maybe one or two wall that has bent over a bit.
The quality looks OK but after the installation I have already seen area that has not been perfect even we tried everything and measured a dozen of times. Such as:
One side of the roof has a little curved.
The long inside beam under the peak of the roof is not clipped in properly therefore we could not screwed in the forth screw. Maybe that is why the little curve in one side of the roof.
One of the door is not leveled properly so it catches the bottom of the shed just a couple of mm.
The air ventilators has no indoor parts. It is just clicks into but I do not feel secure. And indoor part with some net would have been better option to avoid bugs goes in.
The floor does not look that sturdy. It already has a small section where it shows a tiny bit compression damage after we walked on it.
There was a couple of screws I could not screw in without drill into the designated hole because behind, there is metal.
Even with these minor issues I still think it worth the money. I hope it will not develop dump as our wooden shed.
As I have mentioned earlier, time will tell how it holds up.
A quick tip for the end: When you put the window in, do not remove the foil from it. It looks much nicer, still lets the light in plus it gives privacy to the shed.
I bought this when it was on offer so it was great value for money. We’re using it as a man/woman cave for the smokers, somewhere where they can go when it’s raining or when we’re having a BBQ and don’t want people smoking around the food. It’s fairly spacious and at a push you can sit 4 people in there so I reckon if you’re using it as a storage shed you’d get quite a lot in there.
Bought when on offer so review reflects the cost. Purchased the assembly service which the two gentlemen assembled with an hour or so, and assembled well. Well worth paying for assembly. A minor fault was not due to assembly but as it is plastic, panels can be prone to slight bending/warping which made one door not entirely flush at the bottom, but fixed it with just adding a small door bolt at bottom of doors. Shed looks good, waited for windy weather and heavy rain before putting anything in. So far, water-tight, solid. Pleased overall with shed and assembly service.
Generally the assembly was very straightforward just make sure the correct screws are always used, some are very similar in size and shape and if you get it wrong it can lead to a lot of rework.
Attaching the roof proved tricky and is definitely a two man job, I also had to use a lot of flat blades knives to prise the roof onto the shed walls.
However, when it all comes together your are left with a sturdy, weatherproof and decent looking little shed.
Omg there was a lot of blood sweat and swears went into this build.
Do not attempt without a power screwdriver. It could really use all screws being self tapping. It would save on injury because screws weren’t self tapping and the surface was plastic it was difficult to get them to bit and this caused for injury to hands when screws slipped.i really ment blood went in to the build.
I wouldn’t buy again or recommend.
Good quality shed, fairly easy to assemble apart from the roof, when you need two people
I used this to store mobility scooter and other items.
You definitley need two people to assemble the shed . I would recommend this product. Very pleased.
I boarded out the plastic floor to make it even stronger.
The shed took us about 5 hours to assemble and is absolutely fine on the base I had already laid. It’s a good quality shed and easy enough to assemble. Great shed but would definitely not recommend the assembly.
Security wise I wouldn’t expect this to last more than a few seconds to a determined thief as the door hinges can easily be unscrewed or, most likely, prised off with a crow bar without too much effort. I won’t mark it down for that as, to be honest, most sheds are vulnerable in the same way. It seems weatherproof though and that is the main thing for me. I’m very happy with the product.
The shed is watertight and sturdy but the roof is a bit tricky to put on.
Very flimsy, cheap material for price, some panels damaged on opening box,
Needed urgently for storage as going away, so no time to re order damaged panels or send back
Very disappointing as it wasn’t cheap
Solvable (by refitting door or extending reach of the bolt), but a pain when I’ve paid that money.
bought this to replace an old wooden shed. I recommend another person to help with assembly to hold pieces in place and definitely for placing the roof on. Placing the roof was hard like most reviews mentioned here but eventually managed it.
instructions are pretty good to follow and easy assembly apart from the roof was the hardest bit. also doors didn’t align perfectly slight catch on one door but it’s was fine for me.
overall all I’m really happy with it and doesn’t require any maintenance. it also looks really good.
Now, for the roof, this is where the swearing might take place. It took two of us 2 hours to get it on properly. If your measurements are even slightly off when putting the roof fascias on, you will have a problem. I had to adjust one when the roof was in situ.
If your base is just a tad uneven the doors will be a nightmare. I have had to put a few shims under the one hinge to align it properly.
Overall I’m happy with the shed and hope it withstands the elements!
Assembling the shed was fraught with difficulties, despite having the recommended tools. The numerous struts and links that hold the panels in place have to be screwed in and there are no helpful indentations to facilitate safely getting the screws in place. In fact, getting those screws correctly fixed is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I still have wounds on my hands healing from the tares resulting from screws skidding off the smooth, unyielding places where I was trying to insert them. I’m not swearing when I say that we have a bloody shed!
A different sort of difficulty was trying to match the roof to the upright wall panels. Exhausted, we eventually gave up, hoping that after a night’s sleep we might be in a better frame of mind. This proved to be a good move, though it took a long time to achieve success the following morning.
Over many years I have assembled many items supplied in kit form but have never previously encountered such a series of challenges as were presented by this shed. At my advanced age I doubt that I’ll ever need to assemble another, but believe me, if ever that need should arise I will pay someone to do the job for me. NEVER AGAIN WILL I RISK THE STRESS OR THE PHYSICAL DAMAGE entailed in erecting a flat packed shed. They far outweigh the pleasure and satisfaction resulting from completing the task.
The instructions are all clearly layed out and work. Make sure to follow the guide of correct fixings, correct orientation and most importantly squeezed together tightly.
Lots of previous reviews have stayed that it takes a couple of days with a couple of people but I found I was able to do it on my own in about 5 hours in one go. The only difficult bits were putting the roof on and securing it in place, but once you find the knack it all goes together well.
The sturdiness is more than I was expecting and once anchored to the patio slab base should be ok, but I think I will look at putting some anchor straps from one side, over the top to the other side, just as extra insurance.
We were building into a corner so wouldn’t be able to get the screws into the hidden sides, but the whole thing is just light enough that you can move it around while its empty and slide it to where you need it.
The floor is pretty squishy – anything heavy will dent and flatten it, anything sharp will pierce it. We had a sheet of 12mm OSB spare so trimmed it to fit. You probably want to price this in if you’re going to be storing tools, gardening equipment, freestanding shelf units etc.
Since putting this up a couple of weeks ago we’ve had plenty of rain and some of the worst storms in decades but the shed has held up fine.
What I’d do different next time –
1. Only put in enough screws to hold it together until you can get the roof on. There were sections that looked level but would clash when the roof went on. I ended up taking 3/4 of the screws out, re-jigging it, then putting all the screws back in once it was where it needed to be. Thankfully the plastic is pretty forgiving.
2. Add the roof trim to the roof panel but don’t screw it down until its on the base. If you align and screw the roof trim on first, to where you think it needs to be, it will likely not align with the base. Keep it loosely fitted, lift the roof on, align the roof trim to the base walls so it all fits, then secure the trim to the roof and the walls below. Because access will now be tricky you’ll need a right-angle drill bit to do it this way.
how easy it was to install then. Never had to do anything to the shed in the 10 years
and still standing strong and upright!
I needed a new shed, (The old wooden one 8′ X 6′ which was 14 years old was falling to bits and there was only one shed I wanted – Keter. I am really surprised how much they had increased in price over the 10 years but they’re such a good shed still so worth every penny!
Delivery from Amazon was really fast, within 2 weeks. I had time to prepare the base it was being built on. I decided on 3′ x 2′ slabs (9 in total) laid on a bed of sand. They all levelled up well and square.
The shed arrived on the Wednesday and I started immediately (on my own) to construct it. This went really well, follwing the instructions was a doddle, everything lined up. A bit of drilling was needed, but by mid afternoon
it was almost complete.
My neighbour assisted with the roof which went on and fixed down really quickly. everything was fixed down with screws as per the instructions. The shed is in a bit of a confined space but I was able to work on it with no problems.
The next day I spent putting all my tools, mower etc in the new shed.
I really don’t have any complaints about how the construction went, so long as the base is flat and level it will all go together easy.
The test was with the impending storm ‘Ellen’ (late August 2020) which had winds of over 60mph during the week. Needless to say the Keter shed stayed dry inside and intact. I’m really pleased and would thoroughly recommend to anyone that if you are in the market for a garden shed then seriously consider a Keter. Just to add, I am giving an honest appraisal of this shed and in no way am I being sponsored or under any obligation to Keter themselves.
